This is a successor to call me maybe and trade my soul for a wish, which were getting crowded.

"We're not sure. We met him less than twenty-four hours ago."

[from_scratch]

"But you're quite sure that he isn't just a very subtle sort of evil because telepathy."

[iamnotpolaris]

"And because unicorn. But yes."

[from_scratch]

"Unicorns. Something new every day. I assume this isn't just a heavily modified mundane ungulate."

[iamnotpolaris]

"He was sentient and had a psychic connection to what I think might have been that world's God and was uncomfortable around my sister and I because we weren't virgins."

[from_scratch]

"What an interesting sort of non-mundane ungulate."

[iamnotpolaris]

"I mean, he wasn't that unusual compared to some of the other people we've met. He wasn't even the only thing describable as a unicorn, although the other kind we met wasn't actually discomfited by our non-virginity."

[from_scratch]

"What was the other kind like, then?"

[iamnotpolaris]

"Good at cleaning out tainted water sources."

[from_scratch]

"Handy in some situations, I guess."

[iamnotpolaris]

"The world they were in needed it."

[from_scratch]

"Is this an interesting story or just 'the unicorns had some trouble keeping up with the water contaminants'?"

[iamnotpolaris]

"It was slightly post-apocalyptic. Stable, but they had a lot of tainted water sources."

[from_scratch]

"Post-apocalypse with unicorns: not a genre I have previously encountered."

[iamnotpolaris]

"Have you encountered video game, because that's where the armor comes from."

[from_scratch]

"I am familiar with video games. I have a lot of spare time."

"There are these islands, and everything is made of blocks, and once Sivath finishes drawing up architecture plans and we've gone and retrieved everything from his island we're going to eat things called mana candies which will allow us to operate magic weapons like a gun that shoots bees."

[from_scratch]

"Just regular bees, or magic bees?"

[iamnotpolaris]

"Magic bees, presumably. I don't think any kind of regular bee would survive being meaningfully shot out of anything."

[from_scratch]

"That's a fair point."

[iamnotpolaris]

"Also, they explode when they hit things, so there's that."

[from_scratch]

"Normal bees don't have that property."

[iamnotpolaris]

"That explains why people who die of bee stings are described as 'allergic' and not 'blown up'."

[from_scratch]

"Quite."

[iamnotpolaris]

"There's also a harp that fires music notes that hurt when they hit you."
