Now this curse ain't so bad.

But it do make a man wonder. What makes a deity decide one week they gonna slice half the City wide open, the next they gonna clean up the Network's dirty words?

S'pose it ain't my place to ask.

Looks like the gods ain't the only ones can bring danger out to call in this place, though, is they? Y'all

They call themselves deities?

Lofty.

[blue_satin_pjs]

They in control here. S'pose they can call themselves whatever they want. We ain't got to like it, though.

You new here, then.

[inshiningkevlar]

If they are the ones that cause the curses to happen, then I suppose they've power enough to call themselves what they want. I tend not to answer to a higher power.

I am. My name is Sanya.

[blue_satin_pjs]

True dat. Just 'cause they got theyselves some power don't mean we got to answer to them.

If they even exist at all. We might all be mad.

I ain't in the business of doubtin' myself like that.

[inshiningkevlar]

I can respect a man who stands by his convictions. Perhaps then, a better way of saying it is that the possibility exists for me.

[blue_satin_pjs]

And you can live like that?

Fair enough. Ain't my place to tell you otherwise.

After all...maybe you gonna do better here than some.

[inshiningkevlar]

I have lived like that in the past. It does not concern me.

There is difficulty adapting, I suppose?

[blue_satin_pjs]

For some folk. I get on well enough here, but...

Most people find they got it easier if they come from a place that got funny magic stuff goin' on.

[inshiningkevlar]

There is magic where I'm from, but I do not use it myself. I am an ordinary human, more or less.

[blue_satin_pjs]

Bein' around here's startin' to show me it's down to the more or less more often than I used to think.

There ain't no magic where I from. But I ain't never needed it anyway.

[inshiningkevlar]

Oh? Where is it that you are from?

[blue_satin_pjs]

... ... ...Baltimore.

[inshiningkevlar]

Ah. I know of it, though much of my time in America has been spent in Chicago. Odd, that we can be from the same world, but that mine has magic and yours does not.

I don't suppose you believe in the concepts of alternate universes?
