Whereas Evelina thought of Paradox abilities as being some sort of gift from the Cosmos themselves, Giosue took a far more mechanical approach on interpreting the cause of the strange powers. They were something he'd thought over a lot since learning about them in the first place. As far as he could tell, the most accurate description for what the Emendators were was that they appeared to be human concepts given flesh, therefore human in appearance, yet not bound to the limitations of man for the most part. Of course they could actually be the last members of some hyper-advanced, ancient alien race or something, but that wasn't as poetic. The truth of the matter that none of them were likely to truly ever know, because truly studying the physiology of one of them to figure out what made them tick almost certainly required horribly invasive surgery followed by methodical dissection. There simply wasn't the willingness or numbers to make such studies feasible.

However, Paradoxes as far as he could tell did not receive their powers for the same reasons Emendators did. The best explanation he could come up with so far was that when Eve brought them back it wasn't as a human. Well they were human, but they didn't actually exist, but they did. The fact that they were walking around now "after" they'd died was a glitch in reality's code so to speak. And their powers were their unique glitches showing their effects, with training allowing them to reproduce it at will. At least, that was the best explanation he could think of so far.

It was at this point, Gio realized he had spaced out thinking about the nature of Paradoxes for the 500[sup]th[/sup] time and had missed out on whole segments of the conversation. Apparently the new arrivals were choosing a [s]dodgeball team captain[/s] Emendator to hang around, and everyone so far seemed to be gravitating towards Nancy and Eve. Also somebody mentioned Alicia. Probably. The name was stuck in his head for some reason.  And then it flashed in the back of his head. Of course that's why her name was stuck in his subconscious. Why else would he be thinking about that?

[color=cca78e]"It appears that I must go fetch our greeter,"[/color] Gio spoke up as he rose from his chair and wiped himself of any stray crumbs. [color=cca78e]"She appears to have excused herself. Would anyone wish to accompany me?"[/color] He doubted most of the Paradoxes would catch onto what he truly meant, and Eve probably had something in mind for the rest of them, so he was about half-certain that he'd have to go alone, which was fine by him. But company would be nice as well. Either way worked for him.
