This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Brian, let's posit that the Neighbors are dryads--that their steady physical 
form is one of the "sleepy trees" in the forests of Blue. How do the inhumi 
make the jump to become vines? Or how do they transform back to 
winged/clawed vampiric reptiles? That is the fundamental problem with any 
"tree/vine theory" regarding the Neighbors and inhumi.

James, I wonder if the transformation Inhumi undergo when interred for long periods of time points to what happens to them?
Perhaps given a long enough period without prey they simply shrivel down to the form of a vine?

What is much more controversial to me is that the neighbors say they also
spent time on the whorl, and befriended some there.  What are the
implications of this?  Who did they befriend?  We have an inhumi character
in Long Sun.  Is there a as yet unidentified Neighbor?

For my money Mucor is the most likely candidate for someone to have befriended a Neighbour.
She takes it in her stride when she meets Horn/Silk in the one body and seems to be pretty comfortable
(though she doesn't like them much) with inhumi on the Whorl.  I am sure a Neighbour would have made a good
companion for her in her room pre-Silk's arrival.  They could have chatted in whatever way their mysterious
soul-travel powers worked.  In fact, it may have been possible for Mucor to have communicated from the Whorl
with the Neighbour (essences?) on the planets below.
