[It's Lorelei! He looks a little tired, but otherwise perfectly fine.]

I apologize for my absence this past while. It seems our population has grown since I last poked about on the network, so hello to everyone. You may call me Lorelei. I am not in spite of appearances actually Luke or Asch, they're me. It's complicated.

[And he seems to think it's funny by the way he's grinning.]

At any rate, I am hoping for an idea of what I missed, as some digging about has led me to think some significant things have happened lately! Also, for those living in room ...2-08, I believe, you do in fact have another roommate, I've just been absent a while. Hello, I look forward to meeting you all.

I'm always willing to listen to other perspectives about what happened, if you're interested in sharing. You can't get all knowledge from just one source after all!

[Besides, he likes talking to people.]

It does seem so, yes. Other worlds don't even have fonons.

Well, as people said, Ruana ate Jason. Sephiroth seemed to do something that upset Zo, and some people were flung out of the tower. I believe they've returned now, though. We had to wake Zo from his slumber as well.

... No. We have atoms.

Does anyone know what precisely was done to upset Zo, if you know who to point me at? Why was he asleep during his own month?

[Atoms. He's heard of those.]

Are there many more than seven sorts of atoms?

I'm afraid I don't know the details. Someone better acquainted with him might know more. And I think it was more of sleeping off anger and frustration than anything else.

There are, though if we're talking limited elements... there are some classic systems that had much fewer. Earth, fire, water, and air are the most common across all of them.

that moment when you realize you never responded omg

[seventhsong]

I'll be sure to ask around then. I'm sure someone knows all the details!

[He hums thoughtfully.]

I wonder if in those cases fire, earth, water and the like are unique unto themselves, or still combined with other things. I know in most places there are things like iron atoms floating about in the earth, and probably all the other minerals too. So many to keep track of..

It's okay. <3

Again, it depends on the philosophy. There were some that thought that, say, a stone was nearly pure earth, but something like a basket would be air because of the void in it, water since the plants used to make it grew by the water, as well as earth since it was a growing thing.

There's nothing like a pure 'fire' atom, though. Not according to modern science at least.

[seventhsong]

It's interesting that there are cultures that built a philosophy on it. But odd that a basket would be air. It's not made of air, it simply 'holds' it so to speak. A cup isn't made of water fonons ... ah, element, simply because it can contain them.

[Maybe they had an explanation for it! Maybe they just didn't know. He wasn't sure himself what a plant might be made out of.]

No, I imagine not. For most places it's probably just the result of very intense heat, and thus anything that burns would be the source, not just a given atom? Likewise probably light..
