[planetary_bonds]

I'd just want to ask why.

[Well that's not vague at all!]

[nepotis]

why we're here?
boring, next question.

[planetary_bonds]

That's part of it. But mostly I want to know why they gave me the power that they did.

[Well. they seem unperturbed by that rudeness.]

[nepotis]

[ Okay... Older man much? ]

fortunately, we mortals don't have that problem.

[fairhair]

no, I suppose you don't
what is your wish for this joyous occasion, then?

[bestversion]

right now? my mom's cooking.

beyond that, idk.

[nepotis]

you wouldn't wish to be sent back home to your mom?

[bestversion]

i guess i would if i could trust a wish to do that.

after the magic house stuff, it feels like i should play it safe for things like that.

[ anon as well ]

[anthropophagite]

To be human again.

[nepotis]

did this place make you not human?

[anthropophagite]

No. I wasn't human human before I arrived.
But I used to be.

[pinkxeno]

LETHALPROTECTION.

[frenchkissed]

I think I'd ask to bring someone here.

That's pretty selfish, right?

[nepotis]

maybe, but at least you're honest.

who would you want to bring here?

[frenchkissed]

Uh

A girl?

[obediences]

Does the wish have to be a physical gift, or could it be anything?

[ He is, as ever, overthinking things. ]

[nepotis]

anything. go big or go home.
(you could wish to go home, if that's what you want.)

This isn't a very good thought experiment.

[nepotis]

[ one pretentious Latin username deserves another, he guesses. ]

alright, @callidus, if you're so wise, do tell me what's wrong with this thought experiment.
