# Understand the Popping **Status:** Active Determine what caused the Astral storm and the [[The Rose of Igoda/10 - Threats & Phenomena/The Popping|Popping]], how [[The Rose of Igoda/09 - Items, Artifacts & Documents/Aetherite|Aetherite]] is involved, why time is being lost and whether the phenomenon can be controlled or stopped. ## Relevant Sessions [[The Rose of Igoda/13 - Session Notes/Session 01 - The Child in the Cage|Session 01]] · [[The Rose of Igoda/13 - Session Notes/Session 02 - Thornhollow|Session 02]] · [[The Rose of Igoda/13 - Session Notes/Session 03 - Beneath Hy-Soran|Session 03]] · [[The Rose of Igoda/13 - Session Notes/Session 04 - Return to Berran|Session 04]] · [[The Rose of Igoda/13 - Session Notes/Session 05 - The Harpers and the Thieves|Session 05]] · [[The Rose of Igoda/13 - Session Notes/Session 06 - The Race Through the Mansion|Session 06]] · [[The Rose of Igoda/13 - Session Notes/Session 07 - The Voices|Session 07]] · [[The Rose of Igoda/13 - Session Notes/Session 08 - Leaving Berran|Session 08]] ## Current Evidence - Party members can vanish and later return without experiencing the same amount of time as everyone else. - Ahkai lost roughly four days during one displacement. - By Session 8 the party learns that roughly thirty-one days have passed across the larger sequence of events, despite their subjective experience being much shorter. - Votoran pops away again during Session 8. - Rose can apparently direct or influence some transitions, but using the ability can hurt her. - Rose can cross enormous distances and possibly boundaries between planes or worlds. ## Current Questions - Where did the missing thirty-one days go? - Does every person experience a different amount of lost time? - What role does Aetherite play? - Can Rose learn to communicate without physically popping? - Is the Popping one phenomenon or several related effects?
