For the love of god someone tell me there's dry cleaning around here

Right.

[ But it all feels familiar to him, as well, even if it shouldn't. ]

So the City was a simulation? Is there anything else about it I should know?

[keepgodwaiting]

[ It's an interesting question. Does she mention Loki? Go into detail about the werewolf? ]

I'm not sure, [ slowly, thoughtfully. ] I start telling you about what that other you did, I'm not sure your life will still be totally your own.

Let me ask you this. What do you make of this place? The "saving the universe" bit?

[ Johanna makes a good point. ]

I guess I don't really want to know too much about the other me.

[ Hob might start second guessing himself and who he really is based on the other's actions. ]

I'm not sure I believe the whole 'universe ending' thing, or that some need to die so others can live. I don't trust the ones holding us here.

[keepgodwaiting]

[ She nods, her lips pressing into a line. ]

Nor should you, I'd say. People who pick you out to do their dirty work without asking aren't very trustworthy.

Far as we could tell, that's what happened in the City. I still don't know how they got hold of us from all over the different planes of existence, and I don't know where we actually were -- our bodies -- but I know they thought picking us up and dropping us into their scenarios without so much as a by-your-leave would solve their problems. And now here we are again.

Can we be sure this isn't a simulation, as well? Does it feel any different to you?

[ If this were something like that, it would easily explain how everything can change so suddenly in this world. ]

[keepgodwaiting]

There you have it.

[ A shrug. ]

I can do proper magic, here. There it was like trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

[ jo pls is that the simile you want to commit to ffs ]

[ Hob nods slowly, figuring that must mean something. And yet, both her magic and Dream's isn't enough to escape this place. ]

Then maybe it isn't. Still, it's a lot to adjust to.

[ One can lump the new world, the mission, and everything he's learned about Dream and the City into that one remark. It's a lot. ]

[keepgodwaiting]

Yeah. It is.

[ She heaves a sigh, sips her coffee. ]

How do you feel?

[100more]

Honestly?

[ How does he feel? ]

Small. It's hard to figure out what I'm doing here when there are such spectacular fighters among us.

And.. maybe a little lonely.

[ Which is kind of ironic, he supposes. ]

[keepgodwaiting]

[ Quiet: ] Yeah. 's a big old universe out here.

If we're supposed to be making a case for where we come from -- I'd rather have you representing home. If that's any consolation.

[100more]

[ Hob is obviously touched by those words, judging from his expression. ]

That's kind of you to say. I've made plenty of mistakes, though. Everyone has. I just hope they won't be held too harshly against us.

Call it a wrap?

[keepgodwaiting]

[ She manages a crooked smile and toasts him with her coffee. ]

From your lips, Gadling. Let's hope.
