How would I tell, though? If this were a dream?

Right. Tree.

Look at my hands. Those are usually distorted, have more fingers then they usually do, etc while dreaming.

((Fact: Sigmund hasn't seen Art in his new form, so I'm going to roleplay as if he doesn't know))

-For Pacitarius sake, why did you go through The Most Fashionable of Realms? I'm sure that there wasn't any inminent danger in the ship, as nobody told me anything. Anyway, are you Erin or the other mage?

Scott will attempt to now find his way back, stopping to thank the woman graciously if he sees her again.

[So Tom, what do you plan to do with your new found demon sight/power? I bet you can probably mess with your soul and what binds it now. Although I doubt Artiste would appreciate, nor be nice if such an event were to pass. I'm curious as to what you can do with demonology now.]

"Thank you so much, good mage Erin, now quickly, let us gather him up and retreat to the ship before anything else horrid happens." Morton, carefully, heaves Kevin back on his surface again before grabbing Niklas and the pot and carrying the two back to the ship.

He speaks along the way, so as to hopefully arrive at an idea before they reach the ship.

"Good jester Kevin, good mage Erin, what should we do with chef Niklas? He can't stay in his state, I can only imagine how dreadful it must be. He came out of his prior state talking to two people who weren't even there, I can't help but imagine being plunged into such a thing again is terribly good for his mental health."

((I'm thinking about analizing the different kind of foci, so that I can make more complete ones.(BLOOD MAGIC). I didn't consider yet to break free from the Artiste's grasp, but I think that I will wait until a) I'm sure that I'm able to break free, and b) I'm sufficiently away from the Artiste.))

[Morton will hand you the demonology book so you can study it too when he finds you. It's not a foci, but it's interesting in that while it doesn't have magic in it, it has instructions for a kind of magic. Demonology works differently from magic, that much I can glean, and I don't doubt that what you have is pretty similar to how it works.

Thinking on it, if that's true you might get overloaded if you wander into Craig's room due to all the circles.]

In Helsvar's village...

Niklas wonders if this is a dream or not, and thus looks at his hands. He finds that they are paws, as befits a squirrel, obviously. Other than that, they seem rather normal.

He wonders if that really counts as his hands being distorted.


In Art's room...

Sigmund, though he initially assumed that this must be Art, suddenly realizes he has virtually no evidence to support this fact, as, while this person sounds kind of like Art, this could very well be a clever illusion of some kind.

"For Pacitarius sake, why did you go through The Most Fashionable of Realms? I'm sure that there wasn't any imminent danger in the ship, as nobody told me anything. Anyway, are you Erin or the other mage?"

"Hey, it was pretty fun, and I mostly did it to get Erin to do it. I may have been a little drunk at the time, but hey, turned out for the best, didn't it?"


In Evelyn's room...

Scott, rather glad about being senseless no more, gets up and cheerfully seeks out the Artiste, who should be on deck presently. He does not encounter Evelyn on the way, but that's okay, one would suppose. He comes out on deck, but the Artiste has gone off someplace, it seems. Only Justine remains outside now, watching the sun begin to set.


At the site of Niklas' melting...

Morton feels rather thankful right now as everything seems to be working out quite well somehow.

"Thank you so much, good mage Erin, now quickly, let us gather him up and retreat to the ship before anything else horrid happens," he says, picking up Kevin and Niklas, then heading out with Erin. As they walk along the streets, he continues.

"Good jester Kevin, good mage Erin, what should we do with chef Niklas? He can't stay in his state, I can only imagine how dreadful it must be. He came out of his prior state talking to two people who weren't even there, I can't help but imagine being plunged into such a thing again is terribly good for his mental health."

"You're implying that he wasn't batshit insane to begin with."

"I... suppose you do have a point there, good jester Kevin. He never was entirely, ah, stable. Bringing bears in the house and screaming, cleaning up after him in the kitchen was a dreadful nightmare at times."

"A little extra crazy probably won't kill 'im, then."

Eventually, they get back to the deck, where they behold the ghost of Justine as well as Scott standing about doing nothing in particular.

"Wait a minute, that is Justine! I thought she looked familiar!"

"You are, as always, quick on the uptake, dear Erin."

"I was in a rush, come on! We had to go find and retrieve this-"

"I don't really care."

Erin just frowns in response.

-So, you are Evelyn, then? Well, the alcohol tends to make people take these kind of decisions. At least you don't seem o regret it.

Scott will check that he has his hammer, fetching it if he has not, and go down to the Artistes quarters.

"Funny, that - the Aspect was all like 'you must be a warrior princess of some kind', and I was too busy imagining that and laughing to say otherwise. And here I am. Gotta say, I kind of like being like this. Not like gender is anything but cosmetic for these shapes, anyway."
