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?

The ghost I encounter most frequently reads stories to children. I expect you'll survive.

Loki has hired you?

[atypical_echo]

You encounter a ghost regularly?

Yeah. He's taking me on as social media manager. Barely even looked at my pictures. Said you mentioned me.

It was one of the weirdest conversations of my life, but I'm actually excited by this and I CANNOT FUCK IT UP this soon!

[unkindled_madness]

I live in Sunset Falls. He's practically a member of the library staff.

I did mention you to him. He didn't seem terribly familiar with photography.

I would offer to assist you, but I've already used his teleporter for the day.

[atypical_echo]

Huh, that's... I seem to have completely missed the 'ghost' part. Mostly because WTF WHY DO GHOSTS EXIST!?

Do the teleporters even take you to non-Guild Approved cities?

[unkindled_madness]

One assumes their spirit energy is stuck, somehow. But it's been difficult to find any definitive explanation of how death works in this universe.

I believe so. They're simply limited in their frequency of use.

[atypical_echo]

Spirit energy?

Geez, they really got you guys by the shorts huh?

[unkindled_madness]

The energy borrowed from a planet that enables living things to, well, live. At least where I come from.

By the shorts??

[atypical_echo]

Didn't know you were religious.

Uh, short hairs?

[unkindled_madness]

I am not. This is a scientific field of study known as planetology.

I don't know what you mean.

[atypical_echo]

Dude, don't google planetology here. It's NOT the same thing.

That's okay. Just ignore it.

[unkindled_madness]

It does seem to be lacking in this universe.

[atypical_echo]

It's crazies here.

[unkindled_madness]

Crazies?

[atypical_echo]

Religious cult.

[unkindled_madness]

Do they worship the Earth?

[Because that doesn't sound so crazy to him.]

[atypical_echo]

Nah. They believe some sorta alien or other maybe once sneezed on earth before life evolved, and now the evil particles from that pollute souls or something, and you have to sweat it out and also pay lots of money to the scam artists behind it. I think there was a volcano too? And maybe some sorta bus. It's confusing.

[unkindled_madness]

[Okay never mind.]

That is absurd.

literally this is his canon take on religions: weird but interesting.

[atypical_echo]

I know, right? Religions are weird, but interesting. Except for the ones that are just weird.

[unkindled_madness]

It's difficult for something to be both strange and uninteresting. Even this inspires at least a morbid curiosity.

[atypical_echo]

You know, you're not wrong about that. And I like that sorta.

[unkindled_madness]

Sort of?

[atypical_echo]

Yep, sort of.

[unkindled_madness]

At any rate, good luck escaping Arizona.

[atypical_echo]

thanks, I'll figure it out. Maybe. Hopefully.
