unsurprised

[Jun was taken aback by a voice coming from the ceiling at first, and would've been more wary if he hadn't recognized it. He did thankfully, and when he looked up he... was still confused, Alcor why are you on the ceiling.]

Uh-- Yes...? [IS THIS A TRICK QUESTION] Why are you on the ceiling?

wow rood

[viditlibertas]

Why wouldn't I be?

[Wow way to judge him!!!!!!]

I feel quite at home here, though I can understand why you and the others are offput.

[...Alcor, 'offput' is putting it mildly.]

I was testing to see if the ceiling also bows like the flooring.

[Apparently he's just going to hold this conversation while upside-down and not even give a fuq???]

sry2say

[nemophila]

I suppose the vastness of space would give a weird perception of physics in enough instances... [Though he was pretty sure there was no blackhole near Alcor and Mizar...? Then again they really didn't know much about space.

He looked up at Alcor and-- to be honest it made him feel kind of sick to do that, but he looked up more properly at the ceiling anyway.]

Is it? From here it looks circle and flat, but...

[viditlibertas]

My true form is much like this, in a way. I do not think many could grasp it's dimensions. Being created in such a way has given me an advantage here, even if I cannot shift forms.

[He's proud okay, for once he's actually able to help with things in this damn tower. He did what seemed like an impossible turn, and just like that touched down to the floor again.]

It's flat.

[Somehow?????????]

[nemophila]

[Oh geez, Alcor's real form had impossible geometry he's gonna try and not think about that right now.

He watched Alcor touch down on the floor, but looked up at the ceiling against anyway. He couldn't exactly test the curve of the ceiling with a rolling flower stem like he could with the ground...]

That makes sense on its own, but.. [Aaand then he looked away and grabbed the side of his head with one hand, trying to nurse a brewing headache.] Maybe it's best just to not think about it...

[viditlibertas]

Is it really that troublesome?

[The dimensions, he means.]

I never considered this sort of thing to be so problematic...I feel sorry for not warning the Shining One when we went to the Record.

[nemophila]

It's not what we're used to on Earth, at least.

[He lowered his hand to try and redirect his attention away from his budding headache now.] Normally if something has at least two 90 degree angles, the shape it would make would be a square or a rectangle.

[viditlibertas]

Euclid has done a lot of good for mankind's comprehension of their space, I will say. [He shook his head, unconsciously rocking back and forth in the air.] But it is a rule, and those are often broken.

[Or, more importantly...] Is there any way to make you feel less ill?

[nemophila]

The rules of physics though...? [Ahaha yeah he... may not have been the strictest adherent to authority before, but, the laws of physics?]

I don't know... I think I'll get over it with some time...

[viditlibertas]

They are mere conveniences so mankind does not go mad. Outside of your scope, they rarely adhere to the same limitations. Oddly, demons seem to favor physics as well.

[This is like smalltalk to him, so sorry if he bends your perception of reality or anything.]

[nemophila]

So... it's like... space and physics really are only concrete when there's someone there to observe it? The only objective reality is the one that humanity as a collective shares in their perception?

[UHHHMMMMM....???]
