[PUBLIC CHANNEL] DAY 51

[criticallyfucked]

Has anyone found anything substantial?

Because I've been reading for hours... every day, mind, and all I'm finding is peas.

Just... peas.

And I know there's more.

[Pause.]

We're dozens of eyes, at least some of which are... looking for relevance.

[Shima.]

So if you've found anything to share, it might be faster to combine what we do have, rather than combing over the same things multiple times?

[Listen. No one said he was good at team work.

But if everyone's combing out individual peas and grains in the dirt, then at least combining them might make some sort of passable salad.

Or maybe someone is holding out.]

It transformed...!?

[Rita's stunned, but not too stunned to snap another picture. She heeds his warning, and though she stays close enough to examine the transformed golem, she makes no move to touch it.]

It looked like you infused it with some kind of power. Is that how you control them?

[prazerbutterfly]

[There are far too many curious people at the carnival that would reach out and try to touch something that looks both beautiful and dangerous. It courses along his arm and he's instinctively keeping it at his side away from her touch.]

They listen to me even without this magic. It is their purpose. But, I did force my Dark Matter into its body and used it to transform it, if that is what you are asking.

[anti_nonsense]

Dark Matter? Is that what you call that power?

[The power to transform matter and manipulate it at will, in addition to Tyki's other abilities... In some distant corner of her mind, Rita's suddenly glad this guy's on the same side as her.]

[prazerbutterfly]

Perceptive so far, you are right. The power I wield is Dark Matter.

[It gives him his strength, his speed, his longevity. Along with his unique power to choose it was a deadly combination and yet could be used for so much good. She's curious and in his world that would be a horrible thing. Here, he doesn't mind indulging.]
