So she tries looking for the chance a mug – one of the mugs in the drying up – breaks in the next month.

That... pretty much depends on what people do, right? Like she could perhaps drop it, or bump against it, or maybe it's wetter than it looks and slips...

Right, but how wet is it at the moment, how soon is someone gonna pick it up, how likely is it that it actually would slip or someone would bump against it or whatever?

Who knows! It really depends on a lot of possible actions, all these things she could do to influence that, the possibilities are endless.

… Probably not actually endless?

Yup, endless, even if lots are only variations on the same theme.

… That is a lot.

She frowns.

"Something wrong?"

"There are a huge number of ways that mug could break," she says, still looking at the mug. "That one." Point.

She looks. She blinks. She looks at Ev again. "Yyyes? There. Indeed are."

She frowns and looks at the mug a bit more.

Does anything… seem more likely, more likely than the others?

What an odd question. Her actions are all as likely as she wants them to be.

But then, if she decides to go and nudge it, there's not as high a likelihood it'll actually fall as if she were to pick it up and drop it. She might nudge it wrong.

Eh not really, if she wants it to break it will. She knows just how to.

"I'm assuming you care if I destroy one of your mugs."

"– Sorta, why?"

"I– sorta, that mug. Just…"

She trails off, still frowning.

Yep, several things she could do to break it, all there, dancing before her eyes.

(Sadde watches Evelyn's face in fascination.)

"… So– is it just me, or."

"Does seem kinda weird, yup."

"Does sound it. Yeah."

"Care to share your conclusions with the class?"

"She's acting funny," says Theo.

"– The mug is fascinatingly destructible."

"I got that you think so, but like, can you elaborate?" she asks Ev.
