It's World Philosophy Day. (Guestimating, based on the lack of a calendar here.)

Who's celebrating? Who would like to prove that they Are by deciding to Think for once?

[ Brain in a jar makes him think of the rumors of Dark Enchantress' laboratory in Beast-Yeast. The moral implications are horrible. Yet he desires to see it something fierce. What does a Cookie brain-in-a-jar see or feel? ]

Oh no offense taken, my friend! The reality of my world seems to be an anomaly in many others realities. Yet it fascinates me, as well! After all, even in my world there is theory there was Desserts before there was Life. Baking before there was Imbuing, so I yet wonder if the Witches did not see into other Worlds and Imbue what they saw into their bakery, or direct the flow of Life Powder in such a way to mimic what they saw. Your Descaretes became our Dessertes. I too wonder if the Rise and Fall of our Empires and Kingdoms mimic your own. Ah, but that is another line of thought entirely.

Mm not only lack the means, but every time we discover something new, our perception of what is probable and provable shifts. Before I heard tales of a Cookie that traveled the space between Stars, made of the very dust of them, I would not have thought it possible. Yet I trust those who say they have met them! Our realities widen every day.

Ah, does your world deal much in astral travel, then? Terra does not — and there was quite the amount of controversy around a Columbian project where a Perro woman launched herself into outer space some time ago. Those files are locked behind very heavy encryption, and I only know as much as another Operator felt like informing me at the time.

Anyway, I'm curious to know — I'd love to explore the solar system, personally.

TYPES THIS REPLY ALL OVER AGAIN and it will never be as good as it was pensive

I do not know how far they got, but I know the City of Wizards was filled with those who sought to reach into the unknown above us. The city was filled with Wizards who sought to know all they could of the world and what existed around them through magic and clockwork technology! They used Cookies to act as their eyes and ears, and extensions of their magics, as we seem uniquely suited to last in such an environ! Sadly they have long since left our world, and taken most of their knowledge with them. What is left is guarded fiercely.

Ah, I see the fascination to know what exists above us, but I find myself lacking the desire to reach my fingers so far, when I have yet to explore the entirety of my own world! What lays in the Oceans deepest depths, what exists over the farthest expanse of it? Only when I have truly plumped all I could from my world, will I then turn my gaze up.

The latter is a sentiment that has been echoed by many people on Terra. I do not know what lies in the vacuum of space, but I do at least have an insight into the oceans — since it came up.

Most of it is Seaborn. Lots of Seaborn. The city of Aegir is underwater, or so the rumour goes, but no one has heard from it in eons. It's something of a historical mythology to the rest of Terra now. I have no reason to doubt the rumour is true, based on my interacts with certain people at Rhodes Island — but I would still like to see it for myself.

I do wonder what would be in your oceans, relatedly. Are they made of water like ours?

[purevanillacookie]

Ah yes, Oceans for you would not be such a surprise, would they? I daresay Mizuki would know much. An entire lost civilization under the Ocean. I do hope you get to see it for yourself, someday. I recall how eager you were in the Seabase here to explore. And get bit.

[ >:(

Though. Actually... as he thinks.. ]

Yes, they are, though you will find them quite carbonated at times, and I believe we have stories similar as well! A Mermaid civilization, who control the Tides and have powers which we have not much studied, as they keep themselves away from Land Cookies. Whether they are Cookies themselves or, like the Dragons, can turn into Cookies at will I am unsure. Nor am I certain if they are the only thing that dwell in the waters.

For there is tale of a vast continent far further than any have gone before, the home of the Witches. And we know the Witches to be human sized, so surely their own creatures must be just as large. Ah but our creation mythos are well and truly all over the board, so I do not know if that is true. We do have gummy whales, however! And I know a fair tale of a large Kraken!
