Aghast, Theophili says to Sooth, "I... I think I had forgotten..." She closes her eyes and begins meditating.
Sooth looks at Bozon, "In your bag, you have a set of books. If you read this one: " she shows him an image of the book in which he'd read this thread:

"and the book after that, you'll know more about Cheed and me. Basically, I'm a soothsayer, and Cheed is a master of rapid body-modification." To demonstrate, Cheed extends his arms like Mr. Fantastic and does a wave with his arms, making them look like elongated rubber.
Cheed jovially laughs and then answers Aflae, "It's not bad. You didn't intentionally summon a dead person, you unintentionally requested the presence of 2 post-death people, and you didn't ask us to come to an Oner directly, but to this semi-place. We didn't mind saying hi to y'all. We're still in the personal presence of the All-Child, and we're happier than you could imagine. It's only bad to force a spirit to come to you by summoning them - mainly because it's rude and harmful to the spirits who aren't in the good place."
Sooth adds, "Aflae, did you ever wonder how VelAnna knew to give you that element address to program your Portal with in order to end up on our island? You should ask her next time you see her."
Scord says to Azraile, "That was an interesting response. It almost seems Freudian. I've been watching what's playing out with you back in the real world, and I have a question if you don't mind my asking. Freedom seems to be extremely important to you. Are you free if you do what you want to do in the moment regardless of how it will affect you, or if you do what you
would want to do
if you knew exactly how it would affect you?" After Az's response he will also ask, "What era did you grow up in on Earth? I grew up in the 1980's and 90's."
