And by corollary, don't expect the laws of physics or biology or, well, any logical mechanics to stay consistent. Being overlaid with the Dreaming like this means reality is being defined by consensus.
Ah, see what I meant? Logic is taking a vacation right now.
Not surprising he's stunned. This isn't exactly a common thing in his experience, i would suspect.
And OL takes it in stride. He's seen stranger, after all.
Given the wild magic of the place, I'm not surprised.
No doubt the work of Lonnie and Tetch. This is totally the 'cleanse all illusions form people's minds' plot, isn't it?
I imagine the memory of a lot of places linger in their structure.
Well, it ain't Statler and Waldorf, but it's fun back-and-forth.
'Just down the way there, folks', eh?
Oh, no doubt of that.
Presumably his adventures in Japan have not been nearly so interesting as this.
Oh, you are in for a wild time as part of this program, then.
No need to be rude, kiddo.
Magic, remember?
I doubt RVs are much of a thing in Japanese cities.
Ever called a vehicle 'she' or pleaded with an inanimate object like it was alive?
Would the term 'tsukumogami' feel better, Hiro? Similar principle. Except here, it didn't take 99 years to awaken the spirit...
I would assume it's more an aspect of being soaked in Dreaming stuff.
And then there's the matter of what happens after he's done with them. This is why his 'making' spirits to solve problems is such a problem.
...I don't want to think about it. And neither should you.
He hopes they'll go back to normal. Otherwise Zatanna might need to apply a magical 'undo' button.
Let's hope he hasn't gone that far yet. Might be a bit hard to explain to his girl-friend.
It'll be a lot easier once Zatanna works out what he can and can't do at this stage, and ban him from using the more problematic stuff.
Ah. This could be troublesome.
Very troublesome.
Oh, that's just creepy.
If this is the 'remove all lies and self-deceptions' ploy, then these would be those very things embodied, I bet.
Given there's no-one else here as far as they've seen... yeah, I don't think this is going to end nicely.
Because they enforce truthfulness and clear-headedness, I would bet.
I wonder what would happen if these were destroyed? Would their 'other halfs' just be more truthful and level-headed? At least until they start to settle back into human habits.
This will be interesting, I bet. All people's little self-directed evils and social defences congealed into not-so-nice predators. Which makes me wonder what happens if they manage to infuse someone like one of the heroes? Instant evil mode? Or just become a jackass... Either way, let's hope Zatanna can ward them away.
