I take it you know I tried, then. Huhu, nothing escapes your eye, does it? [Beat.] Not to worry, as that isn't my goal here — it was merely an experiment. Souls trapped within objects can be a touch more communicative than these.
[There sure seems to be a lot of sigil magic around these parts, huh.]
In a way. No matter can ever be truly destroyed, of course, but there does come a time when the energy has been pulled so thin that it's not of any real use anymore.
Yes, it makes sense. Similar principles are applied on Elrios. Though... I have to ask now. If the spirits are pulled too thin and cannot do their work, what happens to the ship?
[On Elrios, if the El is too thin, rifts to Henir open up and another apocalypse starts. That's why he's asking.]
I see. I was trying to assess if this was some sort of purgatory or not — if I had died on Elrios and didn't recall it. [And like, please, if he's going to die he at least wants to remember it. And it better be fucking cool.] ...how long do all of us have until we begin to fade from this realm and become mere shades of our formal selves, like the other spirits?
Some of you were dead, at the point in your reality that you came from. It's not a terribly difficult fix, though. They're not any functionally different than you.
[shrug] How long do you plan on being worth more alive than not, would be the answer to that question.
[So he's not dead, but others are. Alive here. Noted.]
Well, as all of us are now, we're merely vacationers, are we not? Huhu, when are you going to put us to work like the other spirits? We cannot be very useful as we are now.
Would it make it easier for you, if you did? If there was some greater reason for your being here. If it wasn't just the same random chance that governs everything else in every reality that's ever been.
Was it fate that determined one salmon, out of thousands in the river, was to be the one to end in the bear's claws? Or could it have just as easily been any of them.
I'm just trying to ascertain why I, and the others for that matter, are here. If it's random chance, then it's simply random chance. [Unfortunate.] Tell me, Captain, do you think that one day, this ship may pull in someone more powerful than you? What will you do, when all of your hard work comes crashing down?

What a handy trick. Am I to assume that if I blink, you may move somewhere else?

I'm afraid you won't be able to create something with a greater drawing power than my own sigils. At least, not in this realm.

Sigil magic is your specialty, I take it.

[shrugs] It's the kind I use most. Powerful, specific, and difficult to interfere with.

Myself and the other passengers are the fuel for this.
[—is correct, isn't it?]
...tell me, Captain — are we alive? Or are we specters as well?
