Chaos like the type unleashed by yanking each us out of our respective spacetime? [ somewhere back in marvel-land, the watchers are screaming, crying, throwing up. ] Delightful.
To double-check, "ownership" here means whoever made the latest deal?

According to Viveca, yes, that is what they get from our bargains with them- in addition to being reunited.

And that does seem to be the definition the orbs operate by. Although it's unclear if a new bargain can be struck while the current one is still active.

Do they want to be reunited? Maybe it's just me, but the vibe I got from the last orb is it came along only because we ruined its fun.

[ pity this conversation is over text and the amount of disgust packed into the word "fun" is, unfortunately, lost. ]

The one in Braccia certainly did, and the ones in Kilnan seemed fairly willing.

If the orbs are all fragments of a greater whole, they may represent different aspects of that whole.

Makes sense.
Seems wild that there's these orbs capable of granting people these impossible wishes and we're the only ones apparently trying to catch them all.
Don't get me wrong, we don't need any more complications. But with how the Multiverse works, I'd have expected another group trying something similar.
I'm guessing we know as much about how this whole enterprise got founded as we do about the previous crew?

I asked Viveca about it, but she insisted we're the only ones seeking out the orbs. As for the origins of this enterprise... I've no idea.

Thanks for letting me pick your brain.
