Sigh.
We have a weirdness magnet and a Thing from Beyond in an extradimensional shop run by (or employing) demons.
Of course it's going to get confusing...
I'm not sure that Ymid is a 'Thing"... okay wait. Clearly it's a Thing, I'm not sure it classifies exactly as "from Beyond". gwythaint hasn't outlined the cosmology but 'from Beyond' usually means "that which exists outside time and space", at the very least "from beyond the Stars/Firmament" however that works. Where our ;friend' the Ymid clearly comes from another dimension, just like
Blade the Hunter in the 'Speciality Shop' thread is 'from another dimension'... and demons are just 'from another dimension'.
Actually at some point I need to nail gwythaint's feet to the floor on this one, especially as Jareth is like one or two adventures away from being able to Create Gates at his leisure and I'll need to know the cosmological ramifications of just willy-nilly making and using Gates.
For instance, if every world is its own 'Prime Mundus', that has different ramifications than if there is only one Prime Mundus.
Oh, and the reason I came in here this time: Be ready for a site wide shutdown for 5 minutes at 11PM PST (GMT -7) tonight (March 7 Friday). The hosting company is taking down and replacing their primary router for the servers the site is hosted on. While it's predicted to be no more than 5 minutes... when has Tech Support ever not pulled a Reverse Scotty?
