Would anyone care for some tea? Iced tea is also available.

Iced tea would be welcome, thank you.

[kagekachou]

*and iced tea for you!*

Hello, Francescu. How have you been?

[fingeroflife]

*sips*

Well enough, given the weekend's events. And yourself, Tatsumi?

[kagekachou]

Ah, this weekend was most disruptive for many people. Fortunately for me, neither I nor anyone whom I know especially well was affected. I did have the oddest dream last night... but that's of no importance.

The source of this weekend's troubles was that large pink cloud, correct?

[fingeroflife]

That is fortunate indeed. And...yes, even in this place dreams are rarely of import, unless one is an oracle or seer.

It was.

[kagekachou]

Hm. Do you think that the cloud was created due to camp or that it might have come from an outside source?

[fingeroflife]

It was an effect of the wild magic of this place; the pnakotic signature is unmistakeable.

[kagekachou]

Pnakotic signature?

[fingeroflife]

Ah, my apologies; "pnakotic" is a term describing the fundamental nature of the worlds, and "pnakotic signature" refers to the structure and nature of a spell or enchantment. A sorcerer's work, or the work of a particular effect, can be identified by such a signature.

[kagekachou]

Ah, I see. Is the camp's magic like an individual entity? From what one camper has told me, it seems to be unusually responsive.

[fingeroflife]

It is difficult to classify, but it behaves much as an individual, yes -- albeit one controlled primarily by malice and irony. Certainly its work is distinctive.

[kagekachou]

You seem to have had much experience with a wide variety of magic. Had you ever encountered anything like this?

[fingeroflife]

Not on this scale, but long-term, self-directing enchantments are not unknown in my world, both those cast by sorcerers and those congealed from the power of the world itself.

[kagekachou]

I wonder if this was originated or activated by the Director or if she simply happened upon this self-created force, as it were.

[fingeroflife]

It is an interesting question, certainly, though unless the Director herself makes an appearance I doubt we will find a definitive answer. Her control of the power is imperfect, however; she has been affected by it herself, as I recall.

[kagekachou]

Ah, yes, I recall being told that. The de-aging virus, correct? That seems to be a rather common camp disease.
