Unlike Adelene, I don’t presume to speak for everybody, but I don’t object.

Do you mean object to doing or object to reading, because either way the answer is no I don't mind but they're still different questions.

If you’re in somebody’s Sphere without open portals and not Unfaded, can you communicate with them at all without them making or contemplating opening a portal? If you are Unfaded, is your only additional line of communication attempting to open portals?

I’m thinking this in particular, and weaponizing Spheres in general, as a response to the desperate measures of the Endbringers. Scion could obviously escape, but without a line of communication I don’t think any class S can.

Unfading, and I'm not sure what you're talking about otherwise, and I want there to be a Suranse worldbuilding thread but I'm slightly too tired to start one.

What I meant by those questions:

Suppose I am not Unfading, and I get trapped in somebody’s Sphere with all the portals closed. If I do not get wings myself, is there any way for me to communicate with them? Can I “knock” on the portals or anything like that? Obviously the owner of the Sphere I’m trapped in can initiate various forms of communication, such as by contemplating opening a portal and looking through it, or by actually opening a portal and talking to me; am I able to initiate communication?

If I do get wings, I have one potential channel of communication: I can try to place portals to my own Sphere, which will tell them that I am doing this. Do I have any other potential forms of communication?

1. No

2. Also no

In both cases: Except if you write stuff in their Sphere and they look at it through portal previews, I guess

A question unrelated to turning a Sphere into a jail: how much are a Sphere’s physics under its owner’s control?

Also I love the Mountain and Suranse thread. And the Cam and Suranse thread. Suranse is a good setting.

Things about a Sphere are mostly not under its owner's conscious control at all. Their ability to affect their Sphere's contents pretty much ends at going "wouldn't it be nice if [thing] happened" and hoping it does.

I hope Sadde got whip guy's license plate or at least remembers what he looks like, in case her friend doesn't come back promptly.

Yeah, that seems...concerning.
