There's something in my body that wasn't there before.

It's an extremely volatile substance from my world. Just getting into contact with it could burn you severely. Exposure to it for too long can kill. And if it's disrupted from its natural flow, it's...explosive. At best.

[nepotis]

I'm assuming you're somehow immune to that volatility now? Or else you've been given a fuse to a ticking time bomb.

[planetary_bonds]

Somehow. At least for now. It apparently has only benefited me.

I'm more worried about the harm it could potentially bring to others.

[nepotis]

simple enough, don't let anyone get close enough for you to harm them.

[planetary_bonds]

You make it sound so easy.

[He himself probably wouldn't mind the isolation, but...he's more worried about how destructive his body could really be.]

[nepotis]

isn't it?
there's a big world out there. no one's making you stick around.

[planetary_bonds]

Probably not.

I'm just not sure where else would be safe.

[Oh no.

He's actually considering it.]

[nepotis]

Montana's supposed to be a nice, wide open space with nobody around.
might be hard to get guild support out there, though.

[planetary_bonds]

Maybe. Don't they grow a lot of food there?

[He doesn't want to accidentally nuke the food supply or something...]

[nepotis]

well, hell. I didn't consider cross contamination issues.

maybe this world has some kind of space station you could launch yourself away to?

[planetary_bonds]

...That could work.

[oh my fucking god]

It's definitely an option worth considering.

[pause.]

thanks

[nepotis]

hell yeah, man, no problem
