[So, how many of you are using the threat of curious lizagons to stay inside? How many of you re bored yet?

[Maybe that's why Leedin has carted in a bunch of sand, and it's covering half of the clear floor on the north side of the floor. There's even plenty of colors -- white, grays and black, reds, oranges and yellows, pink and even a few patches of olive green and purple. ]

[OOC: Leedin will probably let this persist until tomorrow.]

No. They were not.

["Were"? But that's surely even more personal. Alma aren't you being kind of rude here anyway?]

Sorry if this is a lot of questions.

You just.. don't seem very happy.

I am not happy. But also. I am not unhappy.

.... [YOU MAKE HIM SAD. 8(

A bit softer.] What does make you happy?

Probably. Dying.

[I KNOW THOSE FEELS BROSIS.] I'm sorry you were trapped here instead of resting peacefully in death.

Have you heard about the effort to try to remake the death goddess, so that when we die here we go to our proper afterlives?

No. I have not.

One of the redheads with an eyepatch and an orange scarf, his name is Lavi, and he's pushing the idea that if we all believe the death goddess works differently than she will be forced to change.

Because right now if you die here, you'll be trapped here still.

...

I do not think my universe. Or at least my planet. Has much in the way of an afterlife.

Would you rather be here then? Or just... be nothing?

[Alma's not sure which is better or worse himself.]

I do not know what is considered an afterlife. On this planet.

So on the whole. I think I would prefer. To be nothing.

I just know we wouldn't be able to see those we cared about in our own world.

But to be nothing is tempting isn't it? [Wistful expression.] It doesn't right wrongs you've done, but it does mean nothing else could hurt you.

Yes.

To touch nothing. And be touched by nothing in return.

Hm. To just sink into nothing and never return or be brought back...

...

Still, if that is something you desire, then you should still talk to Lavi. I do not trust the gods here with my afterlife. They have done such a poor job of our lives in the here and now.

...

You said. There are two redheads. With eyepatches. And orange scarves.

Which one. Should I approach.

The one who wears purple is named Red. Lavi doesn't wear purple.

They are comrades of mine, but either one should be willing to help you regardless.

A lot of people from my world came in pairs, me included, sorry if that's confusing.

It is okay.

Alternate universe iterations of an individual. Frequently come with identifying markers. As you have just demonstrated. With Lavi. And Red.

.... I suppose you're right. I would guess if there weren't any that they would find some way to differentiate for others.

You sound like you have more experience of doubles than I do.

Yes. And no.

It is not a concept. That I am unaware of. But that is all.

Okay then.

Is that because you're a witch?

[taking a moment to consider this]

I suppose so. Yes.

The circumstances which made me a sort of witch. Also placed me in a position. Where I was given knowledge of alternate universes.

That's pretty cool!

You were allowed into secret information because you are magic, or because you got into the secret info that you were made magic?

I was given the ability to wield majyyks. So I would be able to perform specific tasks at specific times.

My lusus. My guardian. Was the one who trained me to wield majyyks. And over the course of our association. It was from him I learned of alternate universes. And their existence.

So you were apprenticed to some sort of wizard? I wish my master had been a proper wizard. He was an artist instead.

No. He was not a wizard. He was a being called. A First Guardian.

The majyyks were bestowed upon me. By our mutual master.
