"... Hmm. I could speculate, but the nature of this universe is based off perception. Logic would say the sudden inclusion of planes would sever matter, but We will have to see. Then, while we're on this point, why not try erasing holes in solid objects? That would likely have the same effect. Actually, there's a better way to do this. You should probably look away."
Itzal began sketching in space. Loops, bends, curves were created, forming planes in ways that didn't quite make sense. Definition was added, planes changed places... Soon, the entire room was filled with loops and curves- yet, they made sense. An entirely possible room, at first glance.
"Alright, turn around. I've created a loosely logical room. It seems perceptually correct... But erase a single part of it, it is percieved as something else completely. Anything caught inside will have hundreds of planes intersecting them."
"I see, I see... Could you tell me where it's safe to stand while we set off this trap? No, nevermind, don't tell me. I'm sure I'll find out."
Whit made note of impressions, patterns... Where everything would fall into place as it fell apart. It was a series of loose connections i his mind, a vision he partially created. He couldn't be sure of anything... but he wouldn't ask Itzal. He trusted his loose perception, his solid logic, and his luck above all else. On this point, even the skull agreed.
