Notes: before ageswap

ive never actually been outside new york before so im wondering
what do people even do for fun in michigan?
stand at the bank of lake huron and yell insults at canada?

ive done some searching and this universe doesn't even have jupiter jim!! which obviously makes it inferior to my own universe
u guys are missing some prime cinema

[He won't even start on the lack of Lou Jitsu movies because that's his dad and thinking about it bums him out.]

less important question: does anyone else who fell through the weird sky hole have powers that aren't working right?
asking for a friend

Comments

[It absolutely is, though it's not as stubborn of a punt as Leo usually makes. Still, if someone is going to not call him out on it he'll take it.]

powers on the fritz. they don't work like theyre supposed to.
either a them problem or a this dimension problem and they're hoping for the second one

[Because if it's a him problem then that sucks.]

[effiomsfavorite]

[Well, he's talking. It's a start.]

okay

how are they supposed to work? how are they working now?

or I guess how are they not working now

[faceguy]

teleportation and portals
sometimes they end up a few feet from where theyre trying to go
or it just gives up halfway
or doesn't work at all

its unpredictable is what im saying

[effiomsfavorite]

[He really wishes he hadn't imagined what "giving up halfway through a portal" looks like just now. Yikes.]

did anything else change that might've caused it? aside from arriving here

[faceguy]

[When that happens you get portal-chopped! (It's as fun as it sounds.)

Anyway, Leo takes a moment to answer this one, because Huvrye has hit the nail right on the head, but it's what Leo is afraid of.]

ok im dropping the act because the grammer is getting confusing
I lost a sword
im supposed to have 2 but came here with 1

[effiomsfavorite]

[Please never actually tell him that. The corruption nightmares are bad enough without that addition.]

I'm guessing you already tried getting another sword

[faceguy]

[Conveniently he hates talking about it, so they will both get what they want today.]

yeah if it worked with just any old sword it wouldn't be a problem
but this is mystic magic stuff and trust me I only barely know how it works
my brother is better at this than me

[effiomsfavorite]

[Boy, that almost never happens]

okay I don't think I can help you with magic stuff

how'd you get the swords in the first place? can you just do that or is that a back home thing?

[faceguy]

long story but the tldr is that I manifested them
I tried to do it again here but I think something is blocking me

[Let’s not ruminate on what that thing is because that feels like it would take Emotional Vulnerability and he would rather get portal-chopped.]

[effiomsfavorite]

[Wait what's a tldr]

[Sorry, but Huvrye is stuck more on magic than emotional vulnerability, so he's going to keep pushing. Problem solving!]

do you know what's blocking you? can you get around it?

[faceguy]

[Huvrye has so much to learn!

Leo knows he asked for the help, but he also doesn’t want to explain everything. This calls for deflection!]

no I don’t
thats why im asking if anyone else has had their powers blocked
like maybe I just have to acclimate to this planet’s atmosphere
or make a goat sacrifice

[effiomsfavorite]

[BOY THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY]

don't do that

don't kill anything

there's magic people here who might be able to help you

talk to one of them instead

[Huvrye doesn't have the cultural touchstones to understand that "goat sacrifice" was probably a joke, so this just sounds like this guy is about to jump to extremes.]

[faceguy]

I wasn't actually going to sacrifice a goat
that would be a-baaa-minable

[Do goats say "baa"? Too late, he committed to the pun.]

sure ill talk to the magic people
soon as I find some

[effiomsfavorite]

[The pun doesn't land, namely because Huvrye has virtually zero experience with animals, but he at least gets that it's a joke. It's probably been a joke the entire time. Oh.]

[Well, he feels dumb, but also how was he supposed to know that?]

you could just ask

[faceguy]

do u know where the magic people are?
they're usually hiding

[In his world, anyway.]

[effiomsfavorite]

they're not hiding here

or some of them aren't at least

Dr Strange is the one I know and he's been pretty public about offering magic help

you could try asking him

[faceguy]

he actually calls himself Dr Strange?

[Sounds a little cringey supervillain.]

[effiomsfavorite]

I'm pretty sure that's his actual name

[Huvrye isn't about to go after anyone else's name, given that he knows just how meaningless his own is, but he can at least clarify.]

[faceguy]

guess he got lucky in the names department then
ok guess I can look him up

[effiomsfavorite]

he put his contact info on here a while back if you can see it

[faceguy]

sure ill dig around

[He's a terminally online zoomer, he can find it.]

thanks for the tip
