[ With the regression of the city, working at Sunset Theater has quickly become less enjoyable than it used to be. Though the cast remembers the rapport McGillis had built with them, even if they're more standoffish now. And it's not as though McGillis had placed much stock in his interpersonal relationships to the random citizens, but... the shift in atmosphere serves as a tangible reminder. That this is temporary. That this world is susceptible to insane levels of mind manipulation. That he wants to leave.

Leave and... do what? That's the question that has haunted McGillis for weeks now, and the countdown is mercilessly continuing. Soon Braphine will release them from her hold, one way or another. Soon, he'll have to know. And so will everyone else. ]

Just a little over two weeks until we're free from this, if Braphine really keeps her word and the God of Conflict doesn't swallow up all her power. Until then we'll doubtlessly face a number of additional challenges and hassles, but while we're still in the quiet before the storm...

Are you going home to your own worlds after this? Or will you take Braphine up on her offer and come along with one of your 'bonds'? What is your world like? What is making you return? What is making you abandon it?

And if you're like me and cannot return to where you came from no matter what, maybe the answers can give you some perspective.

Mafuyu asked me something similar a few weeks ago.

In my home dimension, I'm dead. Death is hardly an ending, however; not for someone of my status. It's difficult to describe, but I'm something of a divine observer. Sort of similar to what Joshua described? I don't handle anything on an individual basis. There are plenty of gods, goddesses, duatlings, and other divine entities who oversee that part of it.

I never talked about it before... I didn't think anyone here would understand until I met Joshua.

I tend to the actual multiverse itself.

I'm not certain what will happen if I choose to abandon that.

Reading what everyone wrote gave me an idea though... Should the Goddess restore my original powers after we restore hers, and she's unable to grant us safe passage between worlds on her own... If someone with similar powers were to help me, I could potentially create a small domain for all of us to visit.

[ i'm sorry but also am i really ]

[cleansewithfire]

It would be a nice idea.

[ Well, that's a lot to take in, but at this point McGillis has stopped losing sleep about the extremely out there claims people make about their powers and states of existence. ]

That sounds almost too good to be true, but it would be incredibly convenient if you could pull it off.

Unfortunately, I have no powers beyond what I already possess here, but I still encourage you to let the less spiritual among us know if we could help you in any way.

I can't say it's anything a god in their right mind would approve of either... But if Braphine gives us permission, I can pen an appropriate contract. That seems to at least be in your wheelhouse, if you'd like to look it over once I'm done.

Joshua already volunteered.

You'd be correct in that, and I'd appreciate the opportunity.
