Again, I don't even know where to begin asking. I suppose I'll start with: what is the darkness, exactly, and- can the sleep it enforces on us be circumvented in any way? You said back when we all arrived that it was an instability, of sorts, and have since called at least some of its effects the corruption, but aside from telling us when we arrived that we were chosen because we all apparently have both 'light' and 'dark' within us... Well, the darkness has since become a somewhat incomprehensible bogeyman. An ever-shifting entity that either claims or believes it cannot be defeated, for how much it likes to taunt us when outed at trial.
But you and Sol have apparently been researching it since before we arrived, so there has to be method to its madness, and therefore limitation.

If it would not be too presumptuous of me, what manner of boons are you capable of granting? Would your methods differ from your partner's in any meaningful way?
The young one and I have been granted similar powers - and in the case of being able to generate rewards for all of you, we do not possess any difference in our abilities. What he can create for you, I can do the same - though I do not know if we'd want to suggest two different tasks for the same person at once.
And if you might recall, the darkness is rather closely tied with the instability of the new core.
... Two tasks at once being too much to ask is an understandable limitation, I suppose. And I think I've been bothering your ... ward? Quite enough already, so I guess I'll spare you the same treatment.
[ he sighs a little, though, and settles back on his haunches, looking vaguely curious. ]
How did this happen, anyway? I presume there was a universe before this? Or ... did this all just spring out of nowhere, one day, newborn and unstable?
