Does anyone know if the fast child-sized squirrels are dewormed? Do we need rabies vaccines? Are there any vets in town?

For those who don't know me, I'm Dr. Robert Romano. As of a few days ago I was the only non-magical medical doctor in Etraya. If that's changed please talk to me, I'm so lonely.

And I'm serious about the fast squirrels, I also got anti-flea treatments for anyone covered in fur.

Alledged intelligence indeed...

So, there are other facilities. That is what I had suspected, but it is good to have such theories confirmed. Still, rather irresponsible that this Echo character would leave his creations to handle all of this, particularly if they can be overthrown by its charges.

I can only assume this since-fallen conqueror was less interested in diplomatic approaches to order?

[badlydisarmed]

She had a full dictatorship, aided by some sort of mind-control ability I still don't fully understand.

Some people went to stop her, they succeeded.

[untsundered]

As well they should. While I may believe there are better methods to maintain order and provide for the creations here, such an extreme method as mind control is a touch excessive. Particularly if she was naught more than another creation brought here to similarly be observed.

[Which raises the question what counts as a "creation" in his book.]

[badlydisarmed]

[ That's exactly what Robert's wondering. ]

Are we all "creations"?

[untsundered]

As I have not met everyone who resides within this bubble, I cannot say with certainty. However, I have yet to see one I would not name thus.

[badlydisarmed]

What is a creation?

[untsundered]

Well, that is a rather complex question if I were to answer it in its entirety, but the short explanation is thus: entities or lifeforms created through powers of creation or aught similar. Any of their resulting offspring that would serve to propogate the species' continued existence would likewie fall under this category, regardless of their evolution thereafter being released into the world.

There are observable traits that mark one as a creation, all plain and obvious to those who are not.

[badlydisarmed]

Artificial life forms. That's what you're calling creations.

[untsundered]

Typical and reductive, I knew it would be beyond your ken. There is much that goes into engendering creations, arcane entities and living beings are all part of the process of it. Naming them artificial lifeforms regardless of their stage is simply crude and speaks of your ignorance in such matters.

[badlydisarmed]

My home world doesn't have magic, don't be bitchy.

[untsundered]

None at all? Or perhaps you simply cannot recognize it for what it is. Regardless, you had to come from something.
