[ Anaxagoras' brows raise as the other says this. Did this even come up before? He doesn't recall, and doesn't believe so, so after a moment he decides to pursue it. ]
What exactly have you seen?
[ A hellion? Doppleganger? The opposite of cat nip, which would repel anyone that sniffed at it? The Grim Reaper? The possibilities are endless. ]
[ …It can be said that life in of itself has its own basic formulae. Numbers and compositions that make up every aspect, that can be transferred from one thing to another - even that which it opposes it.
He gets out some paper and begins to write this down in front of Sage. ]
There are a few matters worth consideration.
First, we should consider if it’s possible to repel its own method and direct it back unto itself…if we are able to do something like that, it could cause great damage to it in the first place.
Second, if there is a way to draw out its "mass" like a vacuum, and "seal" it somewhere.
Third, did you notice any other oddities? When there was a dearth of life - of energy, did the aether shift in other spots as well, or “feel” heavy?
...I suppose in this case it is devising the method to redirect its force back unto itself that would be the difficulty...
[ But, as he says that, he's still in thinking mode. Strangely enough even as he utters the word 'difficulty', he doesn't seem deterred or afraid; just focused. Yes it is going to be hella hard; yet it is (1) potential starting point. ]
[ Seems that they're on the same page. It doesn't surprise him. Though... ]
So, it's another waiting game.
Hmph. Of course it would require patience - though, preferably it'd be in a situation where we didn't lose one or another of our numbers.
[ ...At least, that's where his hopes lie. He doesn't hold too steadfast that there won't be another disturbance, but he refuses to give up on the idea that they won't be able to do anything about it. ]

I've watched them drain the aether out of those they touched... the places those hands landed would turn into negative space.
no subject
...As if it also not only drained "aether", but distorted reality in of itself, leaving nothing behind?
Following that, did the space return back to its original state? Or, was there a permanent distortion left behind?
[ Anaxagoras is just rapidfiring these questions, don't mind. ]
no subject
Leaving nothing. Think of it as a dearth of life, of energy. There was no distortion left behind once the lifeless were no longer before me.
So yes, the space returned to its original state.

[ Which is something, Sage thinks. The puppet watches as he writes. ]
I do believe reflecting its own method onto it is a possible avenue. That which can destroy in totality can, in turn, be destroyed.
no subject
[ Anaxagoras notes this because he would. ]

[ It sounds like Sage isn’t deterred either. ]
When I am able to gather more information on the nature of the force we are dealing with, our answers will become clearer.

[ One that Sage is iffy on at this point, but you never know. Hope will remain alive. ]
Shall we reconvene and discuss more later, when we both have more knowledge under our feet?
no subject
...Very well. Let us do that.
[ He turns on the heel of his foot, and begins to head away. ]

Hopefully their next meeting is in the flesh. ]
