Uh guys? I'm pretty sure that this whole 'Twig Man' thing? Is Slenderman. Like the creepypasta meme that definitely became a thing a few years ago for me and then became even more well known when a couple of preteen girls who were extremely mentally ill thought he was real and that they needed to end up sacrificing their friend to him.

Slenderman is a nightmareish overly tall man who wears a suit and has no face and who in the story was often found around tragedy involving children. He was supposed to show up in pictures and on video. This is probably really, really bad. Be careful if you do go looking. Seriously. If he's around he can make you sick, like physically ill. And not only that but he causes electrics to go shorting out and we don't know what that might mean considering we're connected to our partners and Navi.

But none of it sounds like a good idea.

Aether?

The energy present in all living things.

[He manages - if just barely - to keep it from sounding as if he finds the answer incredibly obvious.]

Okay that may be what it’s called where you’re from but not from where I am.

What would it be called on your world, then?

Life probably in general. Magic maybe.

Aether is required to cast spells, but is not strictly magic. Not on its own.

But it’s the closest thing we have in my world is my point.

Mmm. It does cover the approximate meaning, I'll grant. And indeed there may not be a perfect equivalence across the worlds. [A pause.] Although it scarcely answers the initial question.

[Alex just laughs. ]

I think I’ve forgotten what the initial question was.

[There's a sigh, but it's one that lacks any significant amount of annoyance.]

Whether or not demons were comparable to voidsent.

Oh right.

I would be willing to consider it largely a moot point, here.

[He's not going to be going about summoning any sort of Voidsent after all, though he can't speak to whether or not anyone might try summoning demons.

That is definitely fair, I think. Sorry I got a bit muddled, it's not been a good time for sleeping.

Trouble with being in space?

[He doesn't, really, care particularly much one way or the other. But if it's an answer she is willing to give, far be it for him to turn down an opportunity for more information.]

Nah, been happening since well before I came into space, actually.

Ah. A somewhat more persistent problem, then.

Definitely. I had hoped that being in space would have helped, but for the most part it hasn't.

Perhaps an answer will be forthcoming in time?

[There's a shrug, with the words. Even if he had enough relevant information to offer any sort of advice, that's no guarantee that he would.]

Maybe. I mean considering everything I'm not going to hold my breath.
