It's related to the negative energy in the world. Most humans emit negative energy that manifests as curses—monsters—but some people can manipulate that negative energy for their own use.
It can be pretty much anything, teleportation, communing with animals, summoning spirits.

The soil looks pretty absorbent.

Not if it's number two.

he just... kinds of looks at her ]
You have a point. I guess all forty of us will have to share these two outhouses.
no subject
Suffering is part of the human condition. [Pause.] Probably the condition for everything else too.

I was more cracking wise about the outhouse, but sure. I'm certain that's part of it.
no subject
I don't think it's the time for jokes.

People are gonna run their mouths one way or another. There's a lot of hours in the day to fill, and we're pretty high and dry on clues.
What would you rather talk about?
no subject
I do have a couple of questions. [ not outhouse related ] Is abduction and magic something you're used to?

Abduction happens. Not to me, though.

What a raw deal you got served. Sounds absolutely miserable. No offence.
I take it you're one of those energy manipulators? What's it look like?
no subject
Yeah, I am. We're called sorcerers. I have a pretty simple power; basically if I defeat a curse, I can absorb and control it.
no subject
[Weird. And intriguing.]
Can you show me a little something?
no subject
So I'm just a regular human now.

[All right. Explains why there hasn't been a fireworks show from all their fantastic brethren. But also, how the hell did they manage that?
She clucks her tongue and pats him on the shoulder.]
Pity. I promise that being a square one, regular joe isn't half so bad as it sounds. We're an industrious sort. We'll find a way to fix all this.
no subject
Alright, I'm trusting you.
