"It's probably best to assume they're not here. Or at least not to expect them. There's too many unrelated people around after all." As for what's going on and where here is, Caster can't say. Some other mage-fueled ritual? A counterattack by the Counter Force? Who could say. It could even be completely unrelated - it was a large world... or worlds, given Kaleidoscope.

Well, no use verbalizing all of that either. Potato isn't much of a sounding board.

"We can do a little more looking around for them, though. Just to see."
