Normal-sized. I never got around to asking, but it wouldn't surprise me if Magic Gods could choose their appearance. Why, how big was yours?

Are you fucking serious? Well, congratulations, you're the first alien I've ever met.

I see. I don't care either way, so night is fine with me.
levelshift: (pfft)

I'm sure a bastard like that would have been gracious enough to answer if you worded it like that.

[Obviously not, but the mental image is pretty funny to him!]

I think so. I've met demons and shit you'd find in a fantasy manga, but no actual aliens. I don't know what that says about Echo, maybe they have a bias.

Yeah? Good, saves me from having to put more effort into this. I'll have the food ready for you, in case everyone annoys you too much and you don't want to stick around.

Sometimes Echo is just like that. I've never run across any other artificial espers.

Accelerator. I didn't see any point in using a separate user name.

Yeah. I'm a psychic human, but the 'psychic' part comes from medical procedures. I wasn't born with it.

They really aren't.

I'm fine with Sollux, unless you have some big problem with it.
levelshift: (hah!)

I suppose it depends on the scale. If it only goes to 10 then I'm a 10 by that technicality. If that sounds vague, there are 1.8 million espers back home and I'm the strongest one.

Maybe Echo has a sense of humour, because that's fucking funny.

A fight? Is that your reaction whenever you come across someone strong?

So I guess is out of the question?
levelshift: from Dear Anthology (chill)

[This has to make him wonder how rare human espers are. It's not as if he's come across many outside Academy City.]

Well, what can you do? You sound like you've got a disdain for magic. Or you're at least tired of it.

Hey, anyone who can't appreciate a good equation isn't worth talking to.
levelshift: (glance 2)

[personal profile] levelshift 2026-05-29 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yo what the fuck.]

That's a hell of a lot, especially the imminently deceased shit. I've never heard of anyone being able to do that.

I've been told science and magic are different ends of the same spectrum. There may be some merit to that theory, but it's still easier to understand scientific equations than it is magical ones.

Echo never brought any of them here?
levelshift: (sigh 2)

[personal profile] levelshift 2026-05-29 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
So it's a useful, albeit shitty ability. I think there's some Greek story that went the same way.

Sounds cowardly. He should have tried giving less of a fuck.

That's rough. I haven't found anyone else from my home, either. It's good the younger kids aren't here but I shouldn't have been Echo's first pick, there were better options than me.
levelshift: (ah?)

[personal profile] levelshift 2026-05-29 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
And the only time you'd get a break is when no one is about to die?

[Wait, platonically?]

Since when is hating someone not platonic?

Yeah. Sometimes having an overwhelming amount of destructive power isn't the answer to a problem, as hard as that is to believe.
levelshift: (clarify)

[personal profile] levelshift 2026-05-29 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a crappy trade off.

....

Are you fucking with me, or is that a real thing?

I'm not. It's complicated, but there's someone back home who is tailor made for this kind of bullshit. It would be unfair to put him in this position, he already deals with way too much bullshit, but he's more suited to saving universes than I am.
levelshift: (way too tired for this)

[personal profile] levelshift 2026-05-30 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Then prophecy is horse shit.

Fuck, I've known you for about five minutes. How the hell am I supposed to answer that?


[He doesn't understand some of that but he gets the jist. Ugh, he really shouldn't be complaining.]

That was a fucking rousing speech. That third string I was talking about probably would have said something similar, then punched me out for being so self-deprecating.

[personal profile] levelshift 2026-05-30 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I've got to say, I've never believed in the stuff. I'm an atheist, I don't think there's any higher power nudging the universe along. There's just people making choices. Even Echo was a person at some point.

Okay, fine. You're not fucking with me, so you just hate this guy platonically instead of romantically.

Give yourself some credit. It wasn't that bad.


[He can't really argue with the depression thing so he just isn't going to touch it.]
