"The exact specifics? My sister, Gwen, might know more about that. But I believe the device has a set of materials that allow gravity to be generated when an amount of electricity is run through it. The materials cannot be constructed chemically like purifying metal from ore. They're constructed procedurally through automated machines that work at lengths millionths of millionths of a meter."
"Oh, solar cells have existed for at least a thousand years in my timeline. They first used an element called selenium. But regardless of what makes them up, light contains energy. Think of it like this. We know that heat is energy because heat can be transferred into water to make it into steam. A steam engine takes heat energy and converts it into mechanical energy. When light hits our body, it gets warmer. So light must have energy. And in this case, light energy is being converted into electrical energy. Do you have electrical machines where you're from?"
Sibylla spent several moments coughing until she had purged her lungs on seawater as best she could, as did her snakes. Afterwards she started angrily slamming her fists against Heno while shouting angrily and incoherently. Her snakes were very busy being highly displeased with being wet. It would be noticeable that she had lost her blindfold in the kerfuffle.
Robin ran back, not finding anything useful. He saw Sibylla pounding on Heno. "Heno, put her down. She's been manhandled enough today..." He trailed off a bit as he noticed her face. "Sibylla, your blindfold's gone."
"We have electricity. Most of the most advanced machines are powered by ragnaite." Homer replied.
Homer nodded. Honestly Emily was talking a bit too simply for him, but he didn't want to say anything.
Sibyl would be starting to feel her hands hurt quite a bit after a while. Heno gave her a pat on the back, and his voice was noticeably softer "I really am sorry. I never meant to hurt you, but sometimes I'm just careless. I'd never hurt you on purpose... Also you still stink." If Sibyl's eyes were open than Heno probably already started turning into stone.
The Gems joined everyone else.
"Ah, yes. Food. So you fleshy things don't die earlier. Brilliant!"

When Sibylla landed in the water, a current would form to help push her back to shore. Once Sibylla was back on dry land, the water would return to its perfectly still state. Heno may notice there was no sign of a tide, as the water had not moved up or down the beach since the previous night.
"We normally see them a couple of kilometers out. As for how deep, we've never checked. We see them near the surface sometimes." the man stated.

The man looked a little confused. "Why would the sea not be still?" he asked, as though Timea had just asked why the sky was blue.
"Jus' git off'a me!" Sibylla shouted back at Heno as she crawled away from him. Her eyes were closed as a reaction to the stinging feeling of saltwater getting in them. Once the had crawled what she felt was a reasonable distance, she tried wiping the salt from her eyes, finally noticing she had lost her blindfold. "W-Where is it?!" She began frantically digging about in the sand.
Jane walked away from the shore and back to the main group. "Can we get going now?" she asked aloud.
"Bizarre... ", Timea said in turn, largely speaking to herself. After a pause, she focused her gaze on the man again, and gave him a small smile. "But that's all the questions I have. Have a nice day, now." With that said, Timea walked off, weighing her options as she did.
Looking at the spot where she had seen the group eat and not seeing Sibylla there, Timea sniffed the air to catch her scent. Turning towards the ocean, Timea let out a questioning "hmm", and began walking towards the ocean.
