should probably decide what wish to try before sending her out to wist then

yep

I'm gonna get on a plane and come to you

kay

we'll work on mind-wish wordings

fwiw I have never crashed a plane by ignoring the no cellphones rule from the cargo hold

oh good

I wonder what happens if we wish to resurrect one of the people who made the wishing thing

p sure they were aliens. magic aliens. high variance thing.

we should probably try that, and failing that their design notes, they might be important for short-circuiting the ecology

I wouldn't count on them being definitely human-friendly

true

still even if it takes a lot if investigative work over the course of several loops if it worked it would def. be worth it

magic, specifically magic these magic aliens invented, can do time travel

if they might not like us they're potentially disruptive to saving the world

okay true

their research notes should *probably* be okay though

yeah I'd feel way safer about those

I really hope the fluffs aren't using it as intended what kind of idiot invents this system

I'm sure they aren't, I think they adapted it as an energy source

I wonder what it was originally meant to do

maybe if we can get our hands on enough of the notes we can do something completely unrelated with magic

Here's hoping, we're like the Saudi Arabia of the universe, most sapient species don't have emotions and emotions are maaaaagic

more like native americans living on a resource white people wanted, saudi arabia gets stuff for their oil instead of having murdermonsters sicced on 'em

to be fair the wishes are legit, not even monkey's paw crap, they just don't, like, explain

that was fun

ouch

yeah no normal thing is gonna be a perfect metaphor this is novel kinds of fucked up

yah-huh

I guess a resurrection chain of resurrecting people who could make wishes could go on a long while

yeah

if gem dimness puts a ceiling on mood maybe it's not that happy can't brighten it but that you can't get happy enough? have you checked drug interactions?

not personally but I met a girl who tried heroin once

no dice

no dice like she couldn't get happier than gem state or the happy didn't bright it?

she felt good but not happy is how she explained it

huh. does heroin normally actually cause happy, I've heard stuff about distinguishing between pleasure and happiness that might be relevant

are all bad emotions bad when your gem is dim or just despair?
