[A stack of books is lined up on the chair next to the exTurk. He has a notebook beside him and a cup of tea. The books are all about boating mechanics of some sort, a few theories of perpetual energy and motion. The other titles are tilted away from the screen. He has two arms again, and from the looks of things, two very normal arms. If you come

*Marco didn't really feel like leaving his room lately, but figured he should try anyway. The library was always--well, usually--quiet, though, so he figured it was a good start.
He hears Veld talk, and its a subject he sort of knows about, so he heads over.*

That's because its probably not really a ship.

*His voice is quiet, and he sounds and looks rather drained.*

[consummateturk]

[Marco looks like he's been attached to a soul pump. Veld's eyes narrow at the accusation of the ship not really being a ship, but that was something Veld himself hadn't considered yet. It seemed too real to be any hologram. Too much to be programmed and they all couldn't be sharing the same hallucination.]

What do you think it is then?

[ntjstapwn]

*Something like that, yeah.
He shrugs and takes a seat near Veld.*

An illusion.

Do you know about the golden frogs?

[consummateturk]

[Veld looks Marco over, trying to discern without being too obvious if the man is on drugs of some kind. ]

How would someone maintain such an illusion for such a long period of time with so many people?

[Veld's not a greedy man, but it was an odd question to bring up.] Frogs made of gold or gold in color?

[She'll come right up and sit beside him. Zelda frequents the library, she likes it in there. Quiet, and the books appear in Hylian. It's nice to read the language of old as opposed to constantly speaking common.]

It has been said it is not a ship.

[Zelda has two of those golden frogs, FYI :3]

[Veld smiles for the younger woman.]

I've heard that rumor. [He pulls out a notepad] Also I have heard that it is an illusion, that this is some sort of machine we are all powering, amongst other things. None of them, of course, make any sense.

Do you have any thoughts?

[The whole places irritates him. Redd is someone who is rarely seen in person, and the latest shows of power set Veld on edge. What could one do against someone who could put you into a living prison or put you in another body? It would take a lot of willpower to outsmart him. A lot of time that Veld wasn't too keen on spending.]

[scionofwisdom]

That we are powering? [She thinks.]

I have noticed my abilities are significantly decreased since arriving. Could it be that people's abilities are somehow being siphoned off to power the place, I wonder?

[It's purely speculation, but it does make Zelda wonder. That theory wasn't something that Zelda hadn't yet heard.]

[consummateturk]

[Veld is shocked to hear that, but he didn't show it in his face. If her powers were dying, like his materia had lost its effectiveness, what was there to say that sooner or later they all wouldn't simply stop. Was that what happened?]

It's a possibility, but to what end would you think? Why not just take it all at once?
