I suppose Wilhelm gets his wisdom for you.

[thedevilwhorose]

Eugh. That's going to be his downfall, I'm sure. Hopefully he picks something up from you.

[Almost insinuating that Istredd is smarter than him in some aspects.]

[ WARM AND FUZZY FEELINGS. ]

If it's only a 'detect magic' spell, I can live with that. He doesn't strike me as very interested in magical rocks.

[thedevilwhorose]

[does not perceive and/or compute]

He's gotta have some shortcomings. No respect for your magic rocks. Is that teenage rebellion? I don't know. Few people, really, respect your rock love. [Lucifer has been one of them since before Istredd so. There's that. Right?]

[magicalarchaeologist]

[ He laughs. ]

If it's a teenage rebellion, everyone I know is in the middle of a teenage rebellion. I'm used to being the only one. At least here there are other people interested in the Singularity.

[thedevilwhorose]

All of Free Cities is in the middle of a teenage rebellion.

[magicalarchaeologist]

Don't remind me. I dread someone over there stupidly deciding to retaliate against Thorne by sending a bomb at it.

[thedevilwhorose]

Okay, fine. Distraction then: I added a painting in your domain. You should find it.

[magicalarchaeologist]

Should we be calling it our domain at this point? With you adding things at a whim?

[ Amused. ]

[thedevilwhorose]

[Indignant.]

There's a use to this one!

[magicalarchaeologist]

[ Laughter. ]

I didn't say it was a bad thing, Lucifer.

[thedevilwhorose]

[Easily defensive? Him? Naaaaah.

Istredd only gets a mental huff.]

[magicalarchaeologist]

[ He mentally pats him, soothing, affectionate. Very 'come on, don't be like that' energy. ]

[thedevilwhorose]

[ :| ]

Did you find it? [The painting.

Did not make any actual comment of 'our domain.']

[magicalarchaeologist]

I'll look if you stop pouting.

[thedevilwhorose]

[ 8D ]

[magicalarchaeologist]

[ They're ridiculous. It's a good fifteen minutes before he comes back. ]

I like how you managed to make our endless theorizing look almost organized.

[thedevilwhorose]

[Ah, there's Lucifer's delight again.] Someone's got to try, it could be important one day.

[magicalarchaeologist]

Only if any of it turns out to be true.

[thedevilwhorose]

Not necessarily. It's all a puzzle, and the pieces are necessary to make the whole picture.

[magicalarchaeologist]

Maybe. It is interesting to see them all listed like that. We may want to let others add their ideas.

[thedevilwhorose]

I figured. I'm curious to what builds, how one idea inspires another.

[magicalarchaeologist]

I only figured out the truth about the monolith because I was talking to someone who was completely different from me. The way he thought was nothing like how I did, so we managed to somehow branch off each other, and stumble upon a truth. It's probably how we'll figure it all out, if we ever do.

[thedevilwhorose]

We'll find your answers.

[magicalarchaeologist]

Not just mine now. Mr. Conspiracy Theorist.
