if i were yours

Behold the wolf in his unnatural habitat, eating the foods of his people in traditional quantities, his typical companion away in the distant land of The Bathroom.

That is to say, Zeus is in Milliways with one and a half heavily topped pizzas, waiting for Harley and Andrea to come back.

"Uhhhh - Canadas. Moons. Oh, here's a thing, is there a city called Gotham in yours?"

[apprivoise_moi]

"Not that I know of! Should there be?"

[floofcoaster]

"No, that's actually probably a good thing? If you have a Gotham there's a funky storyline Jokers play out in them. Harley skipped it because kidnapping but it's gone all the way through a few places. Stuff explodes, you fall in love with a lady and make her very unhappy."

[apprivoise_moi]

"I wouldn't mind a little more exploding stuff in my life. Not a lot more, though."

[floofcoaster]

"I'm sure you can arrange plenty of exploding stuff, but exploding Gotham in particular isn't the happiest story."

[apprivoise_moi]

Shrug. "Lucky me not having one, then, yeah?"

[floofcoaster]

"Apparently. Uhhhh, some Earths have magic, some have stuff that's sort of like magic but they don't call it that for reasons, some don't have either?"

[apprivoise_moi]

"No magic!"

[floofcoaster]

"Aw, poor you. Annnnd there's templates, I guess. You don't have a little brother, do you?"

[apprivoise_moi]

"Nope! Well, not that I know of."

[floofcoaster]

"Okay, well, you might have one you don't know of, I think it's happened that way a couple times, and those, uh, they can come out of the shit childhood okay but only if they are gotten out as kids, if it just runs its course they don't bounce back like you."

[apprivoise_moi]

"Damn," she says. "See, now I really want magic. If I've got a little brother somewhere that I don't know about I'd better find him."

[floofcoaster]

"Could be a sister, they're only all boys so far," adds Zeus. "Some templates can be either but I think most of them are usually one or the other."

[apprivoise_moi]

"If I've got any little siblings whose childhoods are as shitty as my childhood was, I wanna know about it. And do some magic to it."

[floofcoaster]

"Yeah. Man, I wish Harley had left Andrea, I dunno how long this is gonna take. I guess we could go to the Belltower? Probably nobody will sneer at me for being presumptuous about going to the Belltower and that is my imagination just because Bells wear crowns. But then you'll have Bells all over the place."

[apprivoise_moi]

"I'm getting hilarious mental images that I'm pretty sure are not what you meant. 'Bells'?"

[floofcoaster]

"Oh, you're - you're probably a - Joker, the empress is a Bell."

[apprivoise_moi]

"And is having Bells all over the place a bad thing?"

[floofcoaster]

"Nah, not really, they make pretty good empresses, they'll swoop in and fix whatever ails your world and whatnot. I find them intimidating though."

[apprivoise_moi]

"What if there hypothetically wasn't anything wrong with my world a couple of magic cakes couldn't fix?"

[floofcoaster]

"Then they want to figure out what makes it tick and import it, probably, but you and them might have different standards of 'wrong with'."

[apprivoise_moi]

"Yeah, I bet we do."

[floofcoaster]

"Do you have one? The Bells will all be very excited if you have one."

[apprivoise_moi]

"Well, how would I know?"

[floofcoaster]

"Her name will have a 'bel' in it. And she will be the sort of person who would take over the world and then run it very nicely."
