So say hypothetically an encounter with a strange Meta you don't know led to you teleporting into the middle of what looks to be a barren wasteland in the middle of what your GPS says is some sort of canyon in Arizona.

And say that hypothetically you aren't equipped to get back to civilization at the moment and the next town is something like an hour and a half walk away.

And hypothetically you don't have water on you or food.

Um, how would you get out of this situation?

OP here

Because the guilds scare me?

Yeah, I have them. hypothetically.

[doctopoda]

Send them to someone you trust privately?

[He and a lot of unaligned metas text pretty frequently, but he supposes he's not really gonna say that someone should be less cautious.]

If they don't have the resources to help directly, I'm sure they'll know someone who can.
We look out for each other here.

[atypical_echo]

See, I'm panicking enough that I didn't think they would know someone who would be able to do something. Because I literally appeared here out of fucking nowhere.

[doctopoda]

Enough of us have teleporters, it should be alright.

[God knows Otto's given enough rides to complete strangers before! The meta network is just like that.]

Now, did they DO that to you? Deliberately?

[atypical_echo]

[Oh boy, that's a whole thing.]

OP - it was an accident

[doctopoda]

Fair enough.

[Everyone getting these new powers out of nowhere - it happens!]

Have you gotten the help you need?

[atypical_echo]

op - i'm working on finding that out.

[doctopoda]

Okay. Let me know if you can't get anyone else.

[He has a teleporter! And, obviously, isn't about to sell anyone out to the Guilds.]

[atypical_echo]

op - i'll reach out directly if I can't. thanks otto

[doctopoda]

Of course.

[atypical_echo]

op - you continue to be my favorite alliance meta. five stars, would buy the action figure

[doctopoda]

[Oh. Hm.]

They're not licensed!

[atypical_echo]

Are there any licensed ones?

[doctopoda]

No. No one's actually sent me any yet.

[Not that he can promise he'd approve them...probably it'd all go through some Guild thing anyhow.]

[atypical_echo]

op - unlicensed it is then

[doctopoda]

Fair enough.
Just not the one with the leotard, I hate that.

[atypical_echo]

That sounds terrible too.

[doctopoda]

It's genuinely terrible!

[atypical_echo]

Really? Sorry to hear it.

[doctopoda]

There's worse things in the world than people making ugly knock-off action figures of you.

[atypical_echo]

Like being stranded in a desert?

[doctopoda]

Exactly!

[atypical_echo]

Yeah, I don't recommend it.
