Not long after arriving in Agrabah

[finalizes]

[The young man - older teenager, depending on definition - that peers into the mirror appears to be located somewhat above it, like it's on the ground and he's leaning forward on his arms to look into it. There's a look of concentration and some doubt about how legit this item is in his expression.]

Everyone hearing this is with the group that walked through the desert, right?

[A pause, inviting confirmation or denial but not lasting long enough to properly answer.]

You don't seem to be Travellers. [A statement.] Neither investigators nor infiltrators. [Not that anyone would know the latter, but... For the sake of being complete.] What is this, then?

[And then, once the structural things are out of the way...]

Also, has anyone seen a small dragon or a human man calling himself Casper?

[ooc: There's also a log intro option, if you prefer that.]

Weird. I can't transform without using some ninjutsu which... that one doesn't work here.

It's weird how specific spells are just kind of nullified, but others aren't. Or, well, everything in your case. I can still use sealing jutsus, but they're so toned down that I'm having to be really picky about what I use with them.

It probably has something to do with all the different magics conflicting with each other. I guess with different kinds of incompatible magic, random shit just gets turned off?

I don't know, I'm just spitballing here.

I'd be more comfortable saying that's right if I knew what the others could actually do. If it's all the same kinds of magic that's getting nullified, then maybe you're on to something.

Well, some people have gained powers. To me it almost feels like the Wilderland's innate magic is trying to compensate for all the different kind of magic from other worlds by just... throwing things at the wall and seeing what stick. Like it got overwhelmed or overloaded or something.

Like it went "this is too much Magic Nonsense. Let's just jumble it all up, maybe that'll fix it".

[Laughs, having looked very pleased indeed when Tenten managed that technology doesn't work here, has sat back and listened while the two women were talking.]

If the same things vanish, the same things should also show up.

[He's not going to use the word "pattern", but that is what he means. And with what he's heard he's not sure that whatever causes this is that Weaverish.]

The power that does this could be chaotic.

My theory is that it's in flux. New worlds are constantly being enmeshed; the foundational rules that govern this reality are constantly shifting. Why wouldn't the effects be different from person to person?

[Elle may be making more than a few leaps in logic, but it does make sense to her. To her it doesn't feel dissimilar to Umbral realms. Even if the actual situation is completely different, there are enough functional similarities that it helps her wrap her mind around it.]

Some people's abilities got limited. Some people don't have their powers. Some people have gained new powers. To me that sounds like a system trying and failing to compensate for elements that it's not able to process.

[They don't even know if there's a 'power', singular or otherwise, behind what's happening. She wishes they had more information about this 'Green'. Are they supposed to have control over this world's native magic, or is it a self-sustaining system.

Or perhaps this world has its own equivalent of Spirits (maybe the Green are Spirits), but Elle hasn't seen any traces of that so far. It's hard to tell which things they've encountered are from other realities and which things aren't.]

What we do know is that different worlds are being drawn to this place, the Wilderlands, and the different incompatible magics are ripping it apart, and the other realities with them.

[There's a long, thoughtful pause as he works through these explanations. What results isn't complete by any means, but there's the start of an interpretation.]

So there is only destruction and some creation. No petrification.

Basically, I guess?

[She's no expert, though. She needs more information before she can make a solid hypothesis.]

Do you have any, uh. Talents, I guess? That aren't working, I mean?

[finalizes]

Yes.

Anything but the very first abilities I developed doesn't work.

[He can shapeshift into Garou forms - as evidenced by his current human appearance - and has what abilities are directly tied to that, like healing at a much accelerated rate, but that's pretty much were it all begins and ends. No other shapeshifting, no Gifts, no magic. ]
