[ lavi's right there but somehow i feel like that doesn't make anything better
he frowns a little at that theory. ]
Like a monster? [ hmm... ] ...Maybe. But, if it's anything like where I was previously, the source could be the place itself, as opposed to something making it.
[ that makes no sense! then again gale said that everyone might be from different worlds, so maybe this is more like kanda's kind of freaky weird fog-causing thing???? ]
Pas - [ WAIT NO MORE IMPORTANT the insult to his dignity with the nickname is irrelevant he has no dignity ] - I would not, what are you talking about?
[ man this is deja vu. he's quiet now at least, no longer piping up, but he does follow kanda to the profiles, and his stubbornly determined face fades a little to curiosity as he starts going over to the board.
[ oh a shouting catchphrase kind of guy...! he wouldn't have expected it. this gets kanda a cool point. (its not what he's doing) this gets kanda a cool point.
he also waits to see if something happens, tilting his head. ]
He ignores Rondo and repeats the action and the words, but again, nothing happens... he doesn't try a third time, but there's a severe expression on his face as he lifts the blade to study it again.
Not to Rondo, just, aloud, as he examines the sword:]
... It's a power of some kind, right...? Apparently everyone's magic has been suppressed, somehow.
[ for the first time, there's a shing! noise as rondo actually draws his sword. he's at a fair distance from kanda, but he's expecting him to jump, so the blade is held aloft as opposed to outwards. his sword is a bit oddly colored. ]
This blade should have... well, it should have something to it, but... I can't feel it at all. I think it happened to people and to weapons.
...Well, I was talking to Mr. Gale about it. He's a scholar - the sort of person that utilizes magic for combat. Most people in Orsterra do, even I do too... but, he said that he's not able to access his magic at all. And I asked a few other people, and they said the same about their own types of magic as well.
[ to weapons, and to people both. ]
So... it seems this place is limiting everyone and everything within it.
[A lot of this sounds weird to him, but he ignores it all to focus on the more important part, brow furrowing. Hmmm. This doesn't sound right based on his assumptions...]
Innocence wouldn't do that. [Fuck with everyone else, sure, but not him or Lavi. But if it's not that, then...

No. The source is a material. [Is wrong with his whole chest BUT IN HIS DEFENSE THIS ENTIRE PLACE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE A STANDARD DGM CASE]
no subject
'A' material? What kind...?
[ that makes no sense! then again gale said that everyone might be from different worlds, so maybe this is more like kanda's kind of freaky weird fog-causing thing???? ]
no subject
It takes different forms. Locals usually have folk tales about strange phenomena that make it easier to track down.
[But there are no locals to ask, apparently... ugh...]
If it's not that, then it's people you can't fight, so stay out of the way when they show up.

well maybe? who knows. he doesn't ponder on that too long because hey, wait a second!!! ]
- wait, hold on, why not? Why couldn't I fight them?

Because you'd die, Pasta-head. [DON'T JUST SAY PASTA-HEAD]

At length, he lowers his sword and finally acknowledges Rondo again.]

He falls quiet, lapsing into thought.]
no subject
- Is that what you thought might have caused the fog, Mr. Kanda...?
no subject
At length:]
I don't know many other things that could.
[Aside from, like, the People You'd Die To he mentioned, who are not off the table of his considerations, but it's weird now...]
no subject
he nods, though, and after a beat, a little uneasy: ]
... I think... we're probably going to have to reconsider everything that we know to be normal, in this place. No matter what it is.
