I doubt the link is magical. Can't say how it really works, but that's the general consensus.

[hourglassvision]

How else would it work, then?

[flyfromnobility]

Who knows? I'm not entirely familiar with the technology of this place. I'd like to know that myself.

[hourglassvision]

I'm sure I can figure this out soon enough, with the right materials.

Giant monsters, smaller monsters, mysterious outsiders, mysterious disappearances, food shortages, disasters, survival, psychotics, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Ha...! One city cannot be so easily described, my friend.

It sounds much like Ansalon during the war.

The Lost and Found of the Universes.

[hourglassvision]

That hardly makes sense.

One would have to be lost before being found, and if this world brings as many from other lands as people claim, then that can hardly be the case.

If you choose not to believe the answers you are given, that is your choice.

Belief and knowing are two different things. I can see we are all lost merely by opening my eyes.

It's called a computer. Most of them are connected by wires that allow them to form a network, like the strands of a spiderweb. Some computers don't even need wires to send information, but it's not magic. I've never seen one explode, but they can start fires if the wiring inside gets damaged.

...Be careful what you say here. Even if you lock your entries, some people can hack in and read them anyway.

If I don't want someone to know something, I don't put it anywhere it can be read or accessed.

Such is the action of a person who lacks a real desire to live long.
