THE SCIENTISTS!!!!
(For my Missing Rogue au)
(Thank you tumblr for quality death)
Ive talked about them in a different post. But now I have proper references!!!
They all got here by being part of a organization funded by the poterian government to track down the traces of the Forgotten Island and what was lost. However this organization was dissolved a few years back because there was a point where information became too painful to retrieve and study. So all of their findings were put into a museum and certain members were compensated.
However, it wasnt dissolved before they found out about Wishcraft.
For non islanders learning it in such an ineffective way, its HARD. Siffrin makes it seem easy but to someone who didn’t grow up with it, especially after the island disappeared…..well….lets say theres a reason why body craft is mostly done in houses.
Wishcraft was wayyyy too dangerous. Its inconsistent, and its basically a monkeys paw when you fail to follow instructions that dont exist anymore.
But not everyone was willing to give up on researching the Island. Slowly, it went from testing minor rituals, to testing it on sadnesses, then each other, then minimal volunteers, then in exchange for food or shelter…then….
Finding people who don’t have anyone who knows where they are and will take a while to come looking.
Cosima and Enzo both came into this with ulterior motives, but everyone experienced a very slow decent as they slowly set aside their morals for the sake of their research. Realizing how each other has changed, but not themselves.
