[quote=@Letter Bee] Point taken; although Eden, after telling Jaden what the latter may want to know, would tell him to play along with the stimulation because 1.) it allows the two of them to be together, 2.) Eden wants a few moments of a 'normal' life, and 3.) He doesn't want to cause alarm among the Player Characters. [/quote] Yeah, I know you want Eden to be intelligent but he feasibly wouldn't know about it. Some characters can only really sense something's wrong because their powers afford them such a privilege but as of now, I only have one character that can definitively say that it's not real and that character is currently being drafted up by Mass City. That character knows because their powers relate to it but Eden only has aging and the tree-power thing!
