[honestly this is kind of trippy coming from a canon that already deals with the births and deaths of universes so jan is just choosing not to think very hard on how this meshes with that]
Interesting that "darkness" and "light" are apparently so important here. Where I'm from, they're merely two elements, and neither is necessarily more sinister than the other.
Any reason the core has taken after what I understand to be an Earth aesthetic?
[That's valid. Sol just continues to draw, mapping out little pathways and the like.]
They're somewhat important where I'm from, but I get that it's not the case for every world out there. I think it's important in a lot of places even if we don't really know about it. [But that's a good question]
It may have been the easiest thing for the universe to understand. A lot of the people here are from worlds that have an Earth-like aesthetic. What would you have thought instead?
The universe might have wanted a certain kind of person here, so it took the shape of something familiar. It's hard to say. I've seen a lot of different worlds, too, but nothing this simple. It was a little confusing for us, too.
...nothing that important...[Hm.] But let's just say I kinda get exactly why I was asked to stick around, even if I don't understand some of the universe's other choices.
It's been frustrating. [To say the least.] Lune and I have other things to be doing but we can't help in the most effective way because the universe changed us. It's sort of how it changed you guys, too.
Yes. Aside from our racial qualities, we inherit a limited number of elemental attributes from our parents, along with our clan's element. Which transcendentals we can use are based on which elemental conditions we meet.
[do not ask what shess's elements are because we still don't know one of his birth ones weeps]
That sounds way more organized and purposeful than how people in my world get their power. But then the elements here probably don't feel too different to you...is the one that you have at least easy for you to use?
Water kinda seems like it'd suit you anyway a little more than wind, but maybe that's just me.
[They think about this...] Where we're from, it kind of happens like an inheritance, too. Powers are passed down to us, but we can learn other skills and abilities. Most of the time, all it really takes is a connection. And even if you want it, it has to choose you instead of being the other way around.
For a long time, we thought some forms of power were really rare. But as time went on we learned there were more people capable o possessing that ability. Most of us who have that power can also use all kinds of elemental magic, too.
[So...being here without any of it really! Sucks!]

But it does seem many people are from this Earth.

Yes, that part has been frustrating.
Are you capable of making deals with it, the way we're able to request things in return for tasks?

Sura. It seems that we're specific to my world, as no one's heard of the name here.

[Sol is grateful to be sitting because Shess is over a foot taller than they are and that's tiring to look up all the time.]

No, like humans, we come in all sizes.

I maybe would've preferred wind, but water isn't so bad.
The way it works for humans is somewhat different, but I suppose it's still rather organized. How do people in your world get their power?

It helps us keep the balance.
no subject
Does it now?
[hm.]
Well, balance is certainly important.
