"Then we chant to remind you that they are not in fact boring."

Permalink

"… I'm not sure that's gonna help. Like, I can look at them while they're boring, it's just going to be boring, and I doubt that'll be solved by having chanting." Shrug.

Permalink

"Alright, no chanting, then, I guess."

Permalink

So Evelyn goes and looks at the boring threads that probably shouldn't be so boring.

Permalink

They continue to be boring.

Permalink

What color are they. Or do they not have color. Do they have anything mappable to a sense or are they just boringly there.

(Sigh.)

Permalink

They do not have a color. They're just... boringly there.

Permalink

Are they between less boring things she can possibly stare at? She can probably get away with that for a bit.

Permalink

Actually, yeah! They're connecting... lots of things to lots of other things. In different ways and—intensities?

Permalink

… Does there seem to be anything interesting about the ways and intensities? Or, in fact, anything that can draw her away from how boring this all is? Or actually just anything that seems like it could be neat in another context even if it isn't, here?

Permalink

Physically closer things have stronger intensities, threads connecting humans to things are particularly thick but things to humans are particularly thin, Theo's threads extend a fair distance farther than hers or Sadde's.

Permalink

"They're attached to people and things and the vampire has thick threads and they're kinda still being really boring."

Permalink

"What do they look like?"

Permalink

Shrug. "They are just sort of there other than the thickness."

Permalink

"Can you do anything to them?"

Permalink

"I think I might have been poking at them earlier," she shrugs. "What should I try, stretching one or something?"

Permalink

"Yeah, I guess?"

Permalink

Can she touch the thread in any way. Or like, mentally poke it.

Permalink

It feels very pokeable, yes. Possibly even with her hand.

Permalink

She tries poking it with her hand. One of the ones pointing out from Theo at some inanimate object.

Permalink

Theo feels an urge to open that cabinet (said inanimate object).

Permalink

Theo goes over to it and opens it! Then pauses and fetches out a plate.

Permalink

Sadde raises an eyebrow.

Permalink

"… Any particular reason you just got a plate out?" asks Evelyn.

Permalink

"Fetching some chips. In case anyone was peckish."
