How familiar are people with the multiverse?

Any tips to spare?

Comments

[anewhope]

I don't think those are the rules.

[fourthwalled]

Maybe I'm thinking of porn rules...
Still. Might as well, right?

[anewhope]

As tempting as that may be, I'll hold off on it.

[fourthwalled]

What kinds of tips are you looking for exactly?
Because I thought that was a pretty good one.

[anewhope]

I wasn't looking for anything specific. I'm merely collating information.

Journalists do that.

[fourthwalled]

ugh.
collating.
never say that word to me again.
i nearly fell asleep just reading it.

have you learned anything interesting that you can share with the rest of the class?
easier to copy your work than do any for myself.

[someone's not feeling particularly 'maximum effort' right now.]

[anewhope]

I don't know. It might put you to sleep at a critical moment.

If I find something relevant, I'll share it.

[fourthwalled]

Good call.

And thanks for doing all the heavy lifting!

[anewhope]

I'm rather boring that way.

[fourthwalled]

Someone's gotta do it!

[anewhope]

And what will you be doing?

[fourthwalled]

Eating pancakes at the diner?
Oh! And there's a bouncy castle!
So I gotta check that out.

[anewhope]

Sounds like you're going to be having a good time.

[fourthwalled]

I KNOW, RIGHT?

[anewhope]

So you don't miss your world at all?

[fourthwalled]

Of course I do.
But what can I do? Echo is never going to choose my universe to save.
It's doomed if I'm its savior.
Probably picked me so she could make an easier decision.

I'm not a planner. I'm not a plotter.
I'm only occasionally a hero. And a questionable one at that.
Tell me who to stab and shoot to save my universe, and I'll do it.
Because that's what I'm good at.

[anewhope]

[ hmm. ]

I'm sure you can be good at other things too. If you gave it a try.

[fourthwalled]

Hey! I only take pep talks from big metal men with Russian accents.
I'm really not good at much else. Besides being annoying and hard to kill.

Which I guess if you need to yeet anybody into the unknown wilds of this place outside the city bubble. I'd probably be your guy.

[anewhope]

[ technically . . . clark could do that anyway. ]

Is there something else you wanted to do?

[fourthwalled]

[see? there you go! wade wilson: officially useless.]

Go to the bouncy house. I already told you!

[anewhope]

I meant more as a skill or a calling.

[fourthwalled]

Oh. Well. I don't think I have much else going for me. I was army right out of high school, then a special forces sniper... and then a mercenary. Never been good at much else. And never really thought about doing anything else.

Is being comic relief a skill?

[anewhope]

Never hurts to bring some laughter to people's lives.

You don't always have be good at it to enjoy doing something new.

[fourthwalled]

Alright. I've got something, then. But I don't know... is a collapsing multi-verse really the best time for me to run with my food truck idea, 'The Scarf and Barf'?

[anewhope]

Maybe not.

But how do you know that's not what the multiverse needs? Seems odd that any universe would hinge on killing people. That's not exactly special, is it.
