magic question

say there's something that keeps someone alive in their world and if it doesn't exist, they don't

do you think it's possible to still exist in another world without it? like there's any chance that they just can

or does something have to keep them there on purpose

i get this is weird but i don't know a lot about magic

anyway thanks

[ She glances to the side, taking a sip of her coffee to give herself time to control her bitterness. ]

Well, nobody believed what really happened. So now they all think I faked my death and ran away.

[blitzcheer]

[ Oh, geez. ]

I'm sorry. It sounded like you had a rough time already. Dying, and all.

[ He doesn't know how more graciously to put that, and feels the need to say what exactly he's referring to. Didn't she die and then end up somewhere completely different? What a mess. ]

So you ended up in that place, went back home... now you're here?

[ She told him a bit about herself, but it's been a bit. He's just trying to remember the timeline. ]

[ichoosefight]

[ She just huffs a sigh. At least Tim is finally starting to forgive her for it. She has to let it go eventually, right? ]

Give or take a few years, yeah.

[blitzcheer]

Life doesn't want to give you a break, huh. [ He can't imagine how frustrating it must be. ]

How'd you get back home?

[ Finally he tests his coffee for heat and taste, taking a sip. ]

[ichoosefight]

Now you begin to see why I need so much coffee. [ She raises her cup in mock toast, as though that's some kind of consolation for the shitshow that her life is. ]

I don't... actually remember. Whatever we did dumped me in the African wilderness, and my doctor's theory is that I got bit by something. I'm missing a few weeks in both directions.

[blitzcheer]

You don't even get to remember? Eesh. [ He should've waited to remark on how unlucky she was. Definitely in need of constant coffee. ]

I wonder what it's all for really... do you think it's just bad luck? That we end up here?

[ichoosefight]

You should ask Cissie or Tim. They were there too, and as far as I know they remember everything.

[ So the bite theory does hold some water, at least. ]

Really, who can say? It depends on what the Head actually wants with us. I can tell you one thing, it isn't to research this disease.

[blitzcheer]

Well, I don't know about the people you know, but some of the ones I've met? You wouldn't think it'd want around. Like...crazy powers, good at snooping, smart people?

It's gotta know how stupid it is sticking them together.

[ It's baffling. ]

[ichoosefight]

You'd think, but who knows? We're dealing with a computer. It probably thinks we're all idiots compared to it.

[blitzcheer]

Hey, fleshy people are that stupid too.

[ It's a joke, but he sure has more experience with better than thou types in the actual 'flesh' than computers. ]

Was your last place run by a computer too?

[ichoosefight]

[ It takes her a second to remember that 'the last place' isn't Gotham. ]

Sort of? I remember a lot of it seemed to be automated, but there were people there.

[ She frowns and rubs at her head, trying to remember. ]

Mostly I think they were kinda murderous. Wish I could remember why, aside from everything on that stupid planet wanting to kill us.

[blitzcheer]

Well... I'd say you're out of it and in a better situation so no need to worry, but. [ He gives a tip of his head that's meant to be a shrug. ]

Maybe there's someone else from that place here? Don't think you'd get in trouble for asking around.

[ichoosefight]

There's a couple. [ Tim and Cissie, at least. Jason too, but he died before they escaped. ]

I don't know that it would do much about our situation now. I'm sure Tim's already on the programming angle.

[blitzcheer]

Programming... [ Ah. Tidus raises his free hand, attempting to mimic tapping at a keyboard. It's just finger waving in the air to anyone else. ]

You mean digging into computers? Here?

[ichoosefight]

Yeah. [ She shrugs. It's not like the city doesn't know what he can do, right? ]

It's kind of his thing.

[blitzcheer]

Oh, that sounds useful. [ Especially, well, depending on what he can do. ]

I'll do whatever I can, but uh, to be honest, this whole situation is clueless to me. Tech stuff and--trapped on other worlds. Hope your friend manages to get somewhere though, [ he throws in, because hey, that would be good. He's got his coffee cup by his mouth, taking a sip after. ]
