That was... quite a nap.

[Private to Una]

Do you mind if I asked you a few more questions about your travels?

[Private to Caesares]

... Were you affected? [In mirrorverse, he means.]

[Private to Olive]

I know this is... belated, but I am sorry about how I acted during that. Event.

[Filtered to David since lol he doubts you have filters. :|]

How've you been?

In her world, the church had a lot of significance. The geography was similar, but as I said, the names were different.

... The biggest difference was that everyone's souls took physical shape. When she first met me, she thought I was some kind of ghost because I didn't have one. [At the time, anyway. Now he's got a cat following him everywhere for reasons most people don't understand.]

Every time I think I've heard of everything the Multiverse has to offer, something new comes along. What sort of physical shape?

Private

[becauseheswill]

Animals.

Private

[una_persson]

That seems ... potentially very complex.

Private

[becauseheswill]

What do you mean?

Re: Private

Well, having an essential part of oneself as a physical, separate entity ... I assume they can't be separated for very long? And I would think one could be hurt easily if—

I beg your pardon, I'm probably asking very stupid questions.

Private

[becauseheswill]

They're not stupid. They call them dæmons. Not demon like devil. I've never gotten the story of how the name was assigned. Usually, they can't be separated very long, and hurting a dæmon would hurt the person as well. They vanish when their human dies, and you're only supposed to touch your own dæmon.

Private

[una_persson]

Can a dæmon communicate with other people? With other dæmons?

Private

[becauseheswill]

Yes. I think they usually can only speak whatever languages their human knows, but communicating between dæmons is easier than communicating with people who don't have one in common.

Re: Private

[una_persson]

Remarkable. Truly, I've never heard of anything like this before.

...How is the shape of one's dæmon determined, do you know?

Private

[becauseheswill]

Its shape is supposed to reflect your true nature. So, someone with a dog dæmon is probably loyal and friendly, while someone with a polar bear is more solitary.

Private

[una_persson]

Hm. Makes one wonder what the daemons of some people here would be.

Wouldn't a polar bear be somewhat awkward?

Private

[becauseheswill]

I wondered if the animal flood actually provided some insight. People didn't seem opposed to the idea when I mentioned it.

Probably. I think a fish might be more complicated, though.

Private

[una_persson]

That's a fairly good point. Hmm. I was an owl, myself. [This amuses her.]

Has anyone ever had a fish for a daemon, that you know of? That would seem to be nearly impossible to manage.

Private

[becauseheswill]

Not that I know of. My friend's settled as a pine marten - they change shape, until you become an adult.
