[ he repeats the name, nodding along - xie lian is happy to offer him the book if he wants it, holding it out to be read. ]
A theory that makes sense. ...it is strange, isn't it, though - do you think perhaps whoever is above the Watchers is the one casting whatever illusion that appears on the text? [ and that, really, makes sense too.
kind of. xie lian's nose wrinkles. ] ...what is the point of that, though? Are we not supposed to learn about these places that we inhabit? [ this is not very justice of you, unknown omnipotent being! ] I suppose by exploration, but even then, I should like to know how their civilization was before it sank, not just after...
[ And take it he shall! And as Xie Lian says, it's full of ??? language, but the title is definitely readable. ]
It's a possibility. Given they're fully capable of hiding evidence, a body, and any obvious destruction from us- I wouldn't say it is impossible for the one in charge to be hiding information from us for now. Can't have us learning things too quickly, right?
[ Gingerly, he closes the book and sets it back. ] Hmmm, they probably have some kind of plan for us. Maybe the kind of information we'd find in the text would distract us from what we need to know? I'm sure the Watchers would let us know if they both had an idea and were capable of speaking it. [ Maybe. ]
[ it does make sense, at least!!! but also. xie lian does not like it!!!! ] And they do want the Watchers to be hiding who they really are from us, too.
...I suppose I don't understand why, though. Are we not supposed to be helping with some sort of conflict? Wouldn't it be good, for us to learn as much about these places and how they're connected as possible? I do think you're right, but... how frustrating.
[ how is he supposed to live laugh love in these conditions ]
[ Dokja takes a moment to consider his words, closing his eyes and when he speaks again it's with thought. ]
What if the conflict involves these places? There could be a deeper underlying meaning to them, that we can only get from exploring. A story that isn't very obvious to the eye. Sometimes, you just have to keep reading to get an answer.
If we were just handed everything on the platter... it wouldn't make for a good story.

Of course, I don't know what's exactly going through the one in charge's head, so in the end it could just be how they want to play the game. It wouldn't be the first time I came across higher beings that seek the life of others for their entertainment.
