[M&M 3e] Defying the Future IC

[Ridai]

Nope feels very out of his depth in regards to the problem of separating Lucia from whatever necromancy stuff happened at the camp. He had to get into metaphysics to make sense of the forgotten doors, but it's not like he has a decent grasp on how the hell those happen. His knowledge of magic is more rooted in fantasy stories where they seemingly relate kinda-sorta to what is actually happening. Camp too far away to get there quickly and check things.

So... Nope has to rattle off thoughts in hopes of something forming that might help, muttering as fast as he can in an instance of rubber duck debugging. "Lucia: life, soul, human, powers emerging, possessed/tainted/submerged. Death well: death, darkness, capturing souls, siren banshee, malevolent, hijacking host with powers. Death well keeps souls from afterlife, is there an afterlife, doesn't matter, doesn't actively spread, does it feed, if it doesn't, tied to universal concept of Death, does Death include souls leaving or not, just biological death, absence of life, souls untethered from bodies, doesn't make sense, why infest living, is it soul magic, is it negative energy, does it have agency, does it want to spread death through Lucia, is it all an accident because of her powers, consuming force, but it has presence, dumb animal god consuming life, does it have intellect, Lucia wanted place it doesn't want to go, place is Order, is Death entropy, losing self being hope of making Death go away, does it feed on order, erode, but why keep shades, camp still exists, is Death Order, unchanging stillness, everything repeats, cosmic hamster wheel, full entropy means no life, no life no death no order, humans and nature in flux, creatures of entropy, humans trying to bring order, does Death like buildings and right angles, internet fan raging at original being changed, capture all that is and preserve the eternal soul without decaying body, was siren willful creation or force of nature, but ghosts were twisted, is this undeath, the Dark Souls of camps, Dark Lord ending, no fire left, all is still, decay and dementia, does it hate life or want order or both, Manchineel wasn't spreading death, converted rather than destroyed, siren imprisoned souls against their will, leftovers of siren instantly ate through floor, is it entropy after all-"

Nope shouts over to Lucia. "Lucia, did you create Order because it hates it, or did it make you create Order?" Axiomatic and chaotic forces are opponents, humans are neutral in nature, pure axiomatic and pure chaotic does not mesh with human.
