Hello. This is Anya again.

I hope everyone had a very satisfactory Halloween. I find it very tacky and slightly offensive, but it is also a very lucrative sales period if you stock eye of newt. Shakespeare was at least accurate in that respect, even if I found many of his writings badly researched. Many of the first performances were overacted as well, but I suppose that's not his fault.

I wanted to ask about the Darkness. Has anyone pinpointed its exact source? There are suggestions that it is demonic in nature, but I've certainly never heard of it before which is strange. I know about most demons, even Canadian demons. Does anyone else have a theory?

I would say magic.

[noshrimp]

The only magic that would be powerful enough would likely be demonic in nature. Even then, it would be almost impossible to sustain it for so long and have it be so wide spread.

[circumsutus]

Maybe in your world. In mine it would be fairly easy to accomplish. The witches would just need to poison the ground with something that activates only at night.

Anya -

I believe the Core brought it here or created it, but it's sort of more complicated than that. Things with die and decay while exposed to the Darkness become part of it. Over a year ago, someone popped a hole in this dimension during the day and Darkness spilled in through it, even more violent than it normally is.

A hole in the dimension? So the Darkness comes from another dimension?

Why do you ask?

[noshrimp]

I feel like I could help get rid of it if I knew what it was. I'm experienced in this field.

I have no clue. I'm more the destroying the little buggers then figuring out type.

[noshrimp]

I suppose destroying them is a good option.

'Darkness' exists everywhere.

It's a rare, peculiar type that manifests itself as rot.

[noshrimp]

I thought rot was what happened to wood. And dead bodies.

Demonic? It's possible. Though some look as though they've been created. Someone had fun altering people.

[noshrimp]

Some demons do possess people. Maybe possession is just one of its powers. It certainly seems powerful enough.

Slightly offensive? I haven't heard that one before.

[noshrimp]

The depiction of demon culture is often very inaccurate. I only know of a few demons that carry pitchforks, and they're usually not plastic.

You think Halloween is offensive too? You should meet my sister.

[noshrimp]

Is your sister a demon?

Eye of newt? What'd you use that for, milady?

[noshrimp]

Various things. It's an essential ingredients in most low level potions.

[canfindrope]

Maybe it's a curse?

[noshrimp]

I suppose, but there would need to be someone to cast the curse.

[askedtobe]

There are Canadian demons?

[noshrimp]

Yes. They're just used to the cold.

So far it seems to be the Core. I wouldn't say demonic, more scientific in nature.

[noshrimp]

Demons can use science.
