-[X] "Perhaps the body is puppeted from a distance? After all, it seems to always be the same entity even when the body is destroyed. And since they don't understand magic very well, it may be technological in origin."

-[X] Pull The Bucket out of the Gauntlet, and spin it on one finger with a manic grin. "I mean, does anyone feel crazier than they were before that conversation? Bucket-chan will help fix it!" Relax to a normal grin, "Kidding, kidding." Put... **that THING** away.

You need this peace to prepare for the war that's coming to you, after all.
