Us, as a group. When we were all talking about what removal meant for whoever was voted for, we all thought it was going to be something really bad. People even said it would most likely be like a public execution.
It's hard to say. Like the whole team thing. Most people don't really like that we have them, but that's not enough to change it to teams no longer exiting. So... I don't think it works if we're all very actively trying to shape it. If it was that simple, then it would be too easy for someone to take control over the Realm, right?
But we were enough to shape what removal meant, you just said so. Surely it's possible to shape it again, if we figure out how. If it's a subconscious thing, raising the suggestion might be enough to start influencing things...?
[ ... ]
The teams thing isn't going to shape anything other than who gets to make a wish at the end, right?
If we figure out how, maybe. I just don't think if we're actively trying to do it that it'll work, since even the Realm needs safety measures. Since then what's stopping us from wishing hard enough to try to take complete control of it, right?
So it's a... we can try and see what works and doesn't work situation, I think.
[ a pause ]
I... think so. I'm, um, not going to lie. What happened with Virid most likely changed things a lot.

You mean we can change it? [ ... ] It... might be more difficult now that we've seen one, but could we? If we all tried to?

[ if it's a small hope, then she's got to cling to it. ]
...
Not for the better, I'm guessing. So the whole concept of a wish could be out the window entirely, and replaced with something worse?

A maybe is better than a "no, never", at least.

You probably have other questions.

No, that's fair. It's... been a very long weekend.

I've got one.
What's your favourite colour?

Orange is nice and bright?

Orange is nice and bright. It's a warm colour too.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've thought of my favourite colour either. I wonder if I had one before...
What about favourite foods?

If you had to think about it, what color would you like?
no subject
[ ... ]
...
Wow, I've really never thought about it. Maybe... blue?
no subject
[ they nod. ]
Blue is... pretty. Like the ocean?
no subject
But the sky is a nice shade of blue too.
no subject
... yeah. You picked a good color!
