So after the memory portal thing, a bunch of monsters from our worlds showed up, or copies of them? (Sorry if you ran into Fragment of the Universe, the one that looked like a crayon drawing with hearts on it - that one's mine, I promise they're actually a sweetheart and didn't mean to drive you insane.)

It might be good to have an idea of what kinds of other entities people are used to in case this happens again? Or even if it doesn't and I never have to fight any of them, I like hearing about all the weird and wondrous species out there. Tell me about their powers, their behavior, their physiology, anything.

...Also, I'm not going to lie, if there are any hot ones I especially want to know about those. I have never felt shame in my life and I'm not going to start now, this is a promise.

Most of them, yeah. A lot of them can even speak it back.

[kingside]

[Then Geass might work? Hmm.]

Would firearms be included in what qualifies as physical force that might subdue them?

[Knowing his luck, they'll probably just make the Abnormalities angry, but. Checking just in case.]

[abnormalizes]

Here? You could definitely try it, it's better than nothing. Guns are like. Actually illegal in the City though, so I haven't tested them.

[kingside]

[Guns: maybe. Geass: maybe. Seasonal powers? ... Gods, this is irritating.]

Why are they illegal?

[abnormalizes]

Technically they're only under tight control of how they're made and who is able to make them, but in practice everybody just uses melee weapons. Because, uh, killing people shouldn't be impersonal or something like that.

[kingside]

[... This is the dumbest reasoning he's ever heard, but you know what? Sure.]

I suppose that would solve the problem of ammunition.

[abnormalizes]

Most things you could do with a gun you can manage with melee weapons and augments anyway.

[kingside]

Augments?

[abnormalizes]

Enhancements to your body. Like, you could replace your hands with claws or get tattoos that make you super fast or things like that.

[kingside]

[Wow, hate that. Some of that. He likes his hands just fine, please no.]

With tattoos alone? How?

[He's fully prepared for her to not understand it herself, but he figures he'll ask just in case.]

[abnormalizes]

That's an excellent question and if I knew how I would probably be working giving tattoos instead of my actual job.

[kingside]

[... Okay, yeah.]

Magic, perhaps? Does your world have magic?

[abnormalizes]

Kind of? It has singularities that are basically magic.

[kingside]

[He can't tell if this is the best answer or the worst answer.]

Singularities?

[abnormalizes]

Each Wing has a singularity that it uses for its business. Like W Corp has trains that can get you across the City in five minutes. [This is not what it does and it is much worse than that.] Or T Corp can rewind time in a limited area.

How they work is zealously guarded and part of the reason why Wing employees aren't allowed to leave the company.

[kingside]

[... Okay, what.]

"Wing?"

[abnormalizes]

Like what if a business was also the local government.

[kingside]

[Wow, okay. He has even more reasons to hate your world now.]

I see.

[abnormalizes]

It's not great! Which you should expect from my world at this point, honestly.

By the way, I don't recommend being rude to Binah.

[kingside]

Was I rude?

[Sarcastic, maybe. He's done worse.]

[abnormalizes]

I would say so? Certainly not polite.

She could kill you with her pinky.

no lulu you're just a dick

[kingside]

[... Are people here really that sensitive.]

Is she inclined to do so?

it is known

[abnormalizes]

I would say that she is inclined to do things that cause revealing reactions in people she finds interesting. But if you're asking if she has any morals against random murder, no, she super does not.

[kingside]

[... Hm.]

I'll remember you said so.

[But he won't apologize.]

[abnormalizes]

Be careful.
