Speculation on the future

[DanielH]

Goldmage:
I expect that Wiar will be found. I expect that when he's found he'll be alive. I expect he will be seriously injured (mentally, physically, emotionally, magically, or other) when this happens.

Obviously, by conjunction, the first of these is the most likely. I assign the "seriously injured" part slightly less than 50% probability. I would be extremely surprised if he were neither seriously injured nor had somebody else he'd touched.

Does Jehade even count as one of Wiar's 50 people? I'd assume so, it seems Wiar Knows him, but the reaction is so rare it's hard to be sure.

[Alicorn]

Jehade does count towards memory loss.

I think that Pen will either:
a)Go home "fast", without aging considerably, she won't need to stay another year until Blake's birthday. She will be around for when the plot is solved, unsure how that will go or if the peal will get involved.
b)She will have to for years (Which would imply Blake's death or loss of door afinity) aging considerably, living so long in an angel-less world will affect her personality greatly. Angela is lacking personal pain in her life. Pen will get old enough to change facecast.

Also: by the time the peal arrives, there is a Bell in that world (or was, if she is dead like Pattern), I like the idea of Older Pen finding her first, but I am not speculating if it will happen.

edit: this is starting to go into wishful thinking territory, but I would like if *that* world (name?) turns out to have magic, all of the Gotham worlds are so similar that is both weird and boring (well, not boring-boring, but missed potential)

[Shoal]

I also predict that Pen will either go home sooner or go home later.

(I like the idea of older Pen meeting younger Bell though)

[Bluelantern]

I am now wondering if she is a ingot, I am not sure at all if there is a hint or clue. I think that she is more likely to be a ingot if she stays for years, but no way to know until we see it.

Pen's unusual speech patterns might be a sign of really subtle ingotry.

I however will buck popular opinion and speculate Pen is trapped for a medium amount of time, as opposed to long or short.

what do you mean with medium?

with short I mean "less than six months" and with long "above five years"

We've been told she is an ingot, with a power of "mental export" (don't know what that means).

I expect long, just because getting aging to happen without Janetastrophes will get harder and harder the stronger the peal gets.

That sounds something that could go similar to Elspeth or to Aro, maybe something like that immortal from Alicorn's short story, maybe Pen can pass her mind (or others) into other bodies???? It really doesn't fit what we have seen tbh

True, specially because the next step after this ought to be the creation of kersibles and similar objects to give to anyone that might come across the door.

Pen's ingot power is to apply things she's thinking of to appropriate representations in physical media. This means she will be able to write (with perfect grammar, and better eloquence than she has even without the grammar disability, but a noticeable tendency to TMI) things she wishes to communicate on surfaces that admit of writing; it will also apply to things like sheet music if she comes up with a tune and probably I'll allow other applications if I think of them and they come up.
