Oh boy, these last two pages slowly start to add some creepiness into this atmosphere. I.e. "Suspiria might be inside of Regina"-like creepiness. I mean
1. Regina isn't actually certain about her feelings towards Crest.
2. She doesn't feel the need to worry about "being careful" anymore.

Especially the 2nd point is something a being would think after having gone through a phase where she could massively alter reality with nothing but a thought.

Flipside Discussion / Is water that isn't wet...?

Mainly because I'm curious how ppl feel about this.

I'm pretty firmly in the dry water is creepy camp, but I almost head into outright ranting about how unnatural it is.

Also, you can't really clean your hair or clothes with something like that! (Oh but right, they probably have self-cleaning clothes, I think Brion said, so they probably just think of water being wet as a nuisance)

Huh! This is actually a good example of the author thinking through consequences of what they've created. I should do more of that, myself.

I'm not sure that IS a good idea, so after this post I'm gonna make a poll on exactly that topic.

I've talked about the book that I've been making, I think. One of the major factors in how magic works is that there are runes and Original Intent. Runes are effectively reactions at an atomic levwl (or something, despite me explaining it in depth, it always felt like there was something I needed to refine).  Basically Original Intent is matter as designed and no amount of runes can change that, but they can simulate energy or matter reactions.  For instance, Original Intent means that metal rusts and water is wet and fire burn people. This means much of matter (besides fire and water, and the latter is usually lacking in a great deal of water's traits like being able to drink it) cannot be created. It also makes it difficult to impossible to dramatically shapeshift, though things like height or sex can change, the face largely stays the same. Nor can a person make metal that doesn't rust through magic (alchemy is a diff story) or alter water so it isn't wet (though, as I mentioned before they can summon water that lacks most traits), but they can dry up water or rust metal.

It occurs to me that in order to do this, the water is either illusory (read: not much fun to swim in), or greatly distorted from its natural chemistry (possibly closer to gelatin than water). Starting to agree with with the knights Bern wanted to join. That water creeps me out.

My first guess, before she said the thing about the "opposite" of nudity, was:
This lake is able to reflect what is on the opposite side instead of your own reflection. Say hello to Eye, the youngest cat-lady ever. But maybe the lake does have multiple magical effects, so I'm still hoping that something along these lines is what Maytag thought for for her.

Or maybe Eye has a multi-use portal with her by now.

No, she said the opposite of group nudity.

This means it's a Lake of Prudishness.  ;D
