[ It will never stop being weird to be talking to these tiny creepy things, but McGillis has learned to compartmentalize. If you really squint, this is just a miniature person, it's fine. ]
That is a relief as much as it unsettles me.
[ He didn't want to have to argue with Sage about the necessity (???) of kitty ears... ]
This place really has a mind of its own - I'd so far assumed that its impact only extended to our surroundings, but our bodies seem to be equally in its hand.
[ Yeah, it's totally fine!! Maybe the creepiness can become mundane...
Anyway, now that it's sitting, the puppet gives a nod—as much of one as a puppet can. ]
Yes, that would seem to be the case. That our bodies are under the purview of this realm lies in conjunction with its ability to twist perception, such as the residential area that you and yours found yourself in upon arrival.
Powerful magicks are at work to be able to so efficiently impact a group as large as this. In comparison, I only have so much power at my fingertips... which is why I find the magick used at hand both fascinating and troublesome.
[ McGillis raises a hand to his chin, considering something. It hadn't occurred to him before, but with how malleable their perception of physical reality has been... ]
Could it be the case that our bodies haven't transformed, but rather that we are being made to perceive them as such?
It could be, though I would wonder why there are emotional reactions to these changes, were it merely perception.
[ But it's a thought, one Sage takes into consideration. ]
I have a thought exercise, if I may, as I believe you may have a valuable perspective. Were you to pull the strings and develop a spell potent enough to shift the realities of a group of this size, what would your goal be?

The puppet watches as McGillis awkwardly sits, the tail clearly in the way. With a little jump, it hops up into a seat. ]
No, it is not. I have no use for such a spell, and would not waste precious energy on it.
