thirty-seventh breath ✧ voice

So I didn't... miss anything, right? I didn't fall into a coma and sleep away Valentines? Did I just miss everything?

I'm going to assume I missed everything in my solitude somehow, because there's little chance that nothing happened. You see, I would have to be worried if nothing happened because that would mean that they might want to make up for it later and no one wants that.

Therefore, I want to know everything terrible that happened to you guys while I was blissfully ignorant. Come on, regale me.

No seriously, spit it out.

I don't see why you would - that's very devious.

And it isn't for eating, it's for cooking. The gel itself acts as the heating reagent to cook food.

Only it still has some bugs to work out.

How is that devious? Seems obvious to me.

Not that I'd be the one weaponizing it. I don't know anything about that.

Well, you'd need to attach the gel to someone and then light them on fire without their noticing. Wouldn't that require a certain amount of subterfuge?

...Also, I'll be certain to keep this away from you now.

Good, I wouldn't want it near me anyway.

I'm just saying it doesn't take much imagination, so you should be careful showing it off.

Oh, I'm not showing it off - you simply asked a question so I answered. You wanted to know what terrible thing had happened and it was this gel failure.

I suppose I'm back to the drawing board since it can't sustain itself in midair.

Yeah, you.... just get back on that.

Mm yes...

Oh! But should you ever need anything tinkered out, do let me know. The lack of cases and oddities here to study is driving me mad.

Tinkered out? What do you do normally aside from inventing?

I'm a scientist, my boy, what don't I do is a better question.

...

Shooting well. I suppose that is one. Peter never lets me have a gun. I've very good at tasers, however.

A scientist, huh? Wonder how many of those we have here.

A few, but not nearly enough. We need more cooperation among the science-minded here to work on a way out.

Scientists and magically inclined alike. Most people would need to cooperate for anything like that to succeed, really.

...Ah, yes, the magic. That is something I'm still trying to find an answer to. It's a very curious thing.

I don't think you can always find an answer to magic, man. That's why it's magic.

Ah, but science was often misinterpreted as magic by those incapable of understanding its mechanics. I simply need to find the underlying cause here, and then much can be explained.

Maybe. I still say some of it is just simply "magic" though. Guess I'm ignorant.

Good luck with that anyway.

Are you from a world with magic? Actual magic, I mean, not just misunderstood scientific tricks.

Yeah, I would think so. Considering there was a bunch of demons running around and most could use some form of it.

....Demons? As in real demons - of the biblical variety?

Of some variety. Someone's bible. Maybe all of them.

Do tell! This has always been such a fascinating subject to discuss - not the religion part, but the concept of evil, the demons, the things people created and put into their stories to explain what they could not.

It wasn't all that pleasant. The world kind of just "ended" and those creatures were everywhere.

I think Tokyo was in its own sort of weird sphere of existence.

Oh, that doesn't sound very good at all - an invasion from another dimension, perhaps?

The Conception.

[He says this as if it explains everything.]

...Someone gave birth to them?

[okay, child, are you insane or what? because he can deal with insanity, but you are really confusing him here]
