Hi again, darlings~

Back to Kelesis but still using Gojo's cool not-quite-x-ray-vision, I'm assuming that around the city he's generally not getting much more than the same "there are structures that extend underground" that he got from the fringes (but please do tell me if I'm wrong).

Anyway he'd like to specifically try to look inside one of the barrier columns. Expecting a headache, but ... is he able to perceive anything cool?

Thank you!
Gojo's multiple eyes would continue to recognize that there are structures underground, but anything above ground in Kelesis would be exactly what he would expect to find in a city. It's rather perfect like that, everything looks just as it should. (However, should he linger too long on any one area, it will have a similar effect to staring at the people for too long. Things will distort, and make less and less sense- but will snap back into 'proper' focus if he stops trying so hard. With Gojo's special eyes, he may also experience some hearty brain zaps the more he focuses.)

The shops are shops, the theatres are theatres; the locals are performing at their assigned tasks with their familiar enthusiasm.

The pillars themselves... to look through them does provoke headaches, a warning that this is not a good thing to put one's mind against. But the insides have the same problem as any other machinery within the city does- that it's full of things, moving and spinning and blinking on and off, but it doesn't particularly make sense, to anyone with any kind of engineering knowledge. To a random person, it might look impressive- cylinders! gears! pretty lights! lots of computer chips! more gears!- and given that it seems to be doing something, maybe all that nonsense comes together after all. Or Kelesian science follows its own rules.

It's not a crime to stare at (or through) the pillars, so Gojo wouldn't face any consequence besides a headache, though.
