[There's a long stretch of silence before Mello begins sending messages again. It's a lot of information to take in, especially with this new knowledge of an interaction between administrators and residents that he wasn't able to access. If all of this important info was contained within that post, who knew how much else there was before everything got purged? Damn. If only he'd been there to question Ruana himself...]
Okay, let me think.
We've got a locked door somewhere around here. No door is locked forever, so there has to be something we can do to get out. It's just a matter of finding the door, and finding out what it's like.
Psionics are supposed to be a form of mental magic that can affect physical objects. Think telekinesis. They don't exist in my world, as far as I know, so everything I can say about them is only speculation. If this Ruana has psionics, then that makes this even more difficult, unless we know the scale of her powers. Every ability has a set of guidelines, so to speak, and I bet you that if we find out what those guidelines are, we can find her weaknesses.
And then there's "Animus." It's Latin. Sort of gives me hope that we're still on a familiar planet, but I'll save those theories for later.
I doubt this place is some kind of purgatory. If it was run by the divine, we wouldn't need these collars to keep us stable. But then, that begs the question, how are they keeping us stable in the first place? It's a stretch, but I'm starting to think the collars serve as an anchor, keeping our souls tied to our bodies.
This is pretty tricky, because I've never taken the time to consider that souls are actually real.
But if we treat souls as a physical thing, something that's capable of moving from one place to another, something capable of being contained... Different collar colors, different souls, different forms and functions...
Damn it. I wanna say this is all helpful stuff, but I'm at a loss right now. Is there anything else useful that you learned from Ruana before her post got deleted?
