Sure. So - it's a little complicated, but essentially, I can influence how molecules work? So in the example I gave earlier, with the fire, it's essentially carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen, and nitrogen, right? I can shift things around until those atoms exist in a way that would make a flame appear. But the effects can do a lot more than that. Like...

[i'm sorry to inform you she will just let libby talk for as long as she wants because this is not a new occurrence for her. her master talks forever, she's used to it.

[good morning, we are outside the ikea. shenhe is sitting on the curb, looking down at her phone. she seems to have gotten past the This Has A Demon In It phase, and is very slowly pecking out a message with an expression of great concentration.

Yeah. Another name for them could be portals, but that's simplifying things a little... Basically, a wormhole is a kind of tunnel through spacetime.

They're rare for a reason.

[she listens very patiently and with a lot of intent, actually. shenhe likes learning! and while some of this kind of goes over her head, she's interested.]
It says on your profile. [she holds up the phone with her thumb and pointer finger, dangling it like it's gross.] I was curious.

Oh - right. [tilting her head] Well, yours is pretty interesting, too. Can I ask what...
[there's a pause because she started to be polite and then remembered what is actually in her profile]
I mean, um - meditation seems pretty cool. I've never been too good at stuff like that.
