Almost two weeks pass. Sadde still has work, even if school's out, but they and Theo hang out a bit more. No new cards appear, and Kero seems to not think that strange, so Sadde themself doesn't care. And one day Theo gets a text in the morning: Happy birthday!
"Oh. Can you just keep writing and the stuff stays, or do you actually have to re-describe stuff you've already mentioned to make sure it stays?"
"Oh, okay, so it's not too bad. And if something does disappear, you can always go back and write it out again, yeah? What about the other cards?"
"The Dark consumes all light. The Dash runs really fast, faster than any other cards. It's under Windy. The Dream can create dreams, even prophecies when you have magic, and it's under the Dark."
"How... does the Dark consume light...? Does it literally just absorb anything that touches it, or does it... somehow... make light turn towards it instead of going where it was before, so it's a sort of area of darkness?"
"I'm really happy that I never wanted to go into Physics. The Dash sounds like I'd probably get along with it quite well. And it's a moon card."
"We should probably first make sure there isn't like a shadowy conspiracy or clans of sorcerers that might take offence to us revealing it to the world."
"If Clow was as powerful as all that, we should be able to eventually resist being erased with the cards."
"It erases things temporarily, including people and memories, and they're erased forever if they stay gone for too long."
"How about we just get them all written down, then you can come point at ones that make you want clarification, I'll mark them, and we can get clarification at the end? But seriously, what even is that card."
"Fight is under Firey, and teaches its user martial arts. Firey controls fire. Float makes things float, under Windy. Flower is under Earthy and makes flowers. Freeze can lower temperatures and generate ice. Glow creates glowing floating balls of light. Libra can detect lies and is under Earthy. Light controls light. Little makes things smaller, and can reduce magical power as well, and is under Light. Lock is under Earthy and can lock a place and seal it off. Loop warps space to create a continuous repeating loop and is under Earthy. Maze creates a pocket labyrinth dimension and is also under Earthy. Nothing can unmake anything, and isn't under any other cards or powers. Power gives strength and is just Firey. Rain creates rain and is under Watery. Return can send you to observe the past. Sand can create and manipulate sand and is under Earthy. Shot is under Firey and attacks someone until they are destroyed if you ask it to. Silent is under the Dark and makes things quiet. Sleep makes people sleep. Snow is under Watery and can create snow and snowstorms. Song can copy any song. Storm is under Windy and can create storms and tornadoes. Sweet is under Light and can turn things into sweets. Sword is under Firey and is a powerful magical sword. Through is under Firey and can make you go through things. Thunder makes thunder and is under Firey too. The Voice can mimic or steal voices. The Watery controls water, the Wave controls waves of water, and the Wood creates plants and is under Earthy. "
"That... is a lot. Okay."
He writes a lot of notes on what to ask for each card, then goes through them, a few at a time:
"What sort of martial arts with Fight? Any? And with Libra, what actually counts as a lie? If you leave something out, does that count? What about body language, like if you shake your head when the true answer is 'yes'?"
