[Quentin considers the information for a moment with a quiet "hmm" and moves closer to the wall to put his hand against it, trying to feel the mental structure inside.]

Hard to say... [He grimaces and pulls his hand away for a moment so he can focus on his explanation, starting to pace and gesture animatedly with his hands.]

My constructs—they're adaptive. Sure, I load in a lot of the cosmetics on the front end, but ongoing stuff like terrain mapping, lighting effects, sensory input I pretty much leave to background processing. The immersion aspect. Part of my mind right now, for example, is making sure you feel like you're breathing. Otherwise your brain will freak out and, you know, think you're suffocating. But it's not like I'm actively controlling that manually, right? That would be exhausting.

[He huffs and pauses for a moment. Focus up, Quire. Getting off topic.]

Point is, I didn't exactly have a lot of time to whip this place up, so studs in buildings? Definitely a background task. I had a whole city to recreate in pixel-perfect detail.

[Quentin returns to the building, heaves a resigned sigh, and puts his hand on the wall again, his face twisting into a strained frown.] 

Let me just... try to switch that stud over to manual control. If it's mine—theoretically—I should be able to.
