004 [TEXT] BACKDATED TO WEDNESDAY
What effect, if any, does the passage of time here have on us?
I don't necessarily mean what we do in the time that passes here. That's completely irrelevant. I'm talking about aging and other things of that nature. Normally, I wouldn't even entertain the idea that it would be different, but the fact that death isn't permanent here is making me consider it.
If we assume that there's some sort of conscious entity behind our presence here, then it's clear that it wants us alive. I wouldn't say that we're immortal, exactly, as people do die when they are killed, but they're resurrected without consequence a short time later.
What, then, will happen if we're stranded here for a significant length of time? We have no idea how long the investigation will take, nor do we know what will be required of us once we have more information. There is the possibility of being returned to where we came from, but it seems completely random as to when it happens, and it seems as though when we're returned it's as we were never gone-not only with regard to our position in time, but our physical and mental states, as well.
So, do we age normally? Or are we locked into the physical age that we were upon arrival? It would be a fascinating subject to research if I had the proper resources, but there are, of course, more pressing matters to attend to.
[THESE ARE SANE AND REASONABLE BIRTHDAY THOUGHTS]
Speaking of which, has there been any progress on the investigation into the Church of Three? I haven't heard a word about it since shortly after it was brought up. Weren't there people intent on investigating it?

I'm a lecturer on the ancient and noble art of magecraft. Normally you wouldn't be privy to this sort of information, but circumstances seem to demand it.

You know how to use magic? You're a magician?[Text]

I wanted you to pull a rabbit out from your hat.[Text]

I was just kidding. I've used magic before... The fireball tossing kind.[Text]
...well, given that every world that actually has magic seems to have its own rules for how magic works, I'm going to have to ask you for details.
