TO ALL SUMMONED

[divinityfrompain]

Soooo this is weird and my first post on here hi.

Has anyone gone to the Singularity and tried to talk to it? Because I just did and I'm going to try to describe it but I'm not sure if this is relevant.

First of all oh boy does it have strong feelings! It threw a whole lot at me all at once, all negative, it's not having a good time.

I couldn't get like an exact thought or explanation, it was all emotions, but one thing that struck me is that it felt jealous and spiteful about something, but I have no idea what. The jealousy was clear but unspecific, so I don't know who to, or what about, I'm sorry. It's generally upset.

I don't think this is helpful because I couldn't convince it of anything or make it stop, but in case you were like 'hey is the Singularity going through something' the answer is 'yeah it's full of feels.'

I don't know if it would talk to everyone so I don't know that I'd advise it, but yeah. IDK.

That's true...or maybe it isn't as all powerful as we thought? We don't really know how other Summoned return to our worlds. What if the Singularity can pull people in but can't make them leave?

Or mayhaps the Singularity just didn't think it was funny?

I suppose that's true. I admit that I've had some reservations. Tempering, mostly.

[divinityfrompain]

I'm too new to know, I don't think anyone knows for sure how people are sent away, right?

[aquaveiled]

No, I don't think so. Or at least I don't know of anyone who does. But it does happen somehow.

[divinityfrompain]

You'd think that if the territories are doing it, we'd probably know. I feel like they'd use it as a threat to keep us in line if we wanted to stay. So it could either be the Singularity doing it, or maybe the spell wears off on some people faster than others.

[aquaveiled]

The spell wears off? You mean like there's a spell that's keeping us here? I hadn't thought about that...

[ She'd been assuming it was the same as G'raha throwing spaghetti at a wall of the Crystarium and seeing what sticks trying to summon Himeka and the other Scions to the First. ]

[divinityfrompain]

The spell that brought us here in the first place probably holds us here too.

[aquaveiled]

I do believe we're still tethered to our stars in some way. But that does make me wonder if someone could figure out how to break that spell.

[divinityfrompain]

I'm not sure. Some spells can be broken but some can't. It depends on who does them and then factors afterward. The Singularity probably makes it more difficult to dispel. Once we're here, it hooks into us, otherwise we wouldn't have access to its land. When higher powers get involved, spells done by normal mages go awry.

AKA, I doubt breaking the spell would matter, if the connection to the Singularity still exists.

[aquaveiled]

I admit I'm not really adept at breaking spells, just making them. But it'd be curious to see what would happen...

Are you?

[divinityfrompain]

Yes. But not in a way I'd feel comfortable doing it without closer knowledge of the spell in question.

[aquaveiled]

Mayhaps we can ask the Council? Not long after I arrived, a friend of mine at the time had a meeting with Winifred. She'd implied that information we gave during our arrival helped them perfect their own Summoning ritual.

[divinityfrompain]

They probably wouldn't want us to know how to use or break the Summoning spell though.

[aquaveiled]

Well we don't have to tell them that's what we're doing. It can be our secret mission.

We can wrap on this!

[divinityfrompain]

I'm in. Secret mission it is.
