[What's happening here, or if this is even real. It seems so full of symbols, too full of meaning not to be a dream but how could that be possible?]

Do you mean the aspects of my personal life I intended only to share with those concerned, or the phenomenon at large?

It's never happened to me quite that way before. In the past it's been memories.
On an apparently monthly basis, our forges… of their own volition, thwarting most efforts to prevent them, see into our minds and broadcast what they find there.
If we were not so dependent on them the rest of the month we'd have doubtless destroyed them by now.
Or if it did not leave us all in the same boat.

How can these things even do that? They don't look sophisticated enough to translate brainwaves and it's not as if they're even hooked up to us.

There's very little in this world that isn't. I have my theories.

Do you think the mist really could control us?
[ooc: let's go with she knows he was a teacher at a school for magic but not quite that he's also a werewolf? Unless you think, upon seeing her total lack of experience with anything magical/supernatural, he'd have told her himself?]

I think it does, and has, and will continue to control us. Rather whimsically. While amusing itself with our continuous protestations of free will.
[ducks head and shakes it a bit]
But such things may always be true, really… we may always live in a predetermined universe, whether as open about it or not. We must still behave as though our choices are our own. There may be no difference.

It's quite a heavy topic, Professor.
