[omegathree]

What was the point of bringing us all here to be infected by darkness? [It doesn't sound like he's blaming Sol about it, but he's still going to say it.]

Yes. Everything is in order and the spirit that was possessed is now a prinny, paying off his sins.

[cyclists]

That's what I'd like to know, because this wasn't something that was supposed to happen in the first place. We were only supposed to learn to fight it and shape what happens here.

...but it's a good thing the god or whoever is being punished. And he'll be a prinny forever?

[omegathree]

The darkness might have adapted in response to us being here. [Who the fuck knows, my dude.]

He'll be a prinny until he's paid off every single on of his sins. Since he was active for about 400 years, it's going to take him at least that long. [Probably longer, really.]

[cyclists]

But then that'd imply that the universe knew that would happen and that's why you were brought in the first place. It doesn't make sense.

[But like. Yikes.] Can he cause more problems as a prinny though?

[omegathree]

[With the certainly he brings to things:] He won't, because I'm looking after him personally.

[cyclists]

...that's not the thing you brought here, is it?

[omegathree]

No, that one's completely empty. It's more like... a stuffed toy than a proper prinny.

[cyclists]

I can't tell if that's better or worse.

[omegathree]

I've heard time is stopped in our homes while we're here.

So consider it better.

[cyclists]

But can you do anything with it?

[omegathree]

With the empty prinny?

I can throw it, but it won't explode unless there's a soul inside.

[cyclists]

...do they usually explode with souls in them in the first place? [Yikes.]

[omegathree]

Yes. They're volatile little beings. If you throw one, they should explode.

[cyclists]

But...why would you throw one in the first place?

[omegathree]

You've never needed an explosion for any reason?

[cyclists]

We had magic and stuff for that kind of thing...

[omegathree]

Wind, fire, ice and star are the types of magic we have available to us.

[cyclists]

We had a little more than that. Maybe I just got so used to it that being in a place without it is weird.

[omegathree]

What are you used to?

[cyclists]

Um...fire, water, ice, thunder, cure, time, wind...some other stuff? It depends on who you are and what you've learned.

[omegathree]

[He nods right along until-] Time?

I'm familiar with certain people being able to harness certain magic better than others.

[cyclists]

Yeah. Like stopping things? That sort of power. [They nod.] How good are you with magic normally?

[omegathree]

That seems like it should be covered under ice.

[Freezing things solid?]

Terrible. I don't naturally learn any elemental magic.

[cyclists]

It's different. It's not actually cold. [Shut up, Sol.]

If you aren't learning, then how are you using it?

[omegathree]

[... He doesn't understand your magic system at all, Sol.]

I'm learning it here.

[He sparks a little fire in the palm of his hand before snuffing it out.]

But I have a comrade who's stats are better for casting.
