[ When the video comes on, the PORTAL is obviously on the floor, focused upward on nothing in particular. In the background the sounds of someone stomping around and moving things - heavy, metal things - can be heard. Some soft curses in what might be German and then suddenly a swish of red flashes by the screen. Was that a cape? Is Batman's gay

How did you move the PORTAL like that?

[bitchimmagneto]

With an ability likely beyond your comprehension.

[limu_o_pele]

I doubt it. I asked in an attempt to find out if you were from my world, after all.

[bitchimmagneto]

Your world?

[limu_o_pele]

Promenade collects people from many places. Some very similar, some very different.

[bitchimmagneto]

I've been told this is a dream city, but different worlds is pushing it, don't you think? [ gurl, we haven't even been to the moon yet. ]

[limu_o_pele]

Maybe. Dreams are only limited by the dreamer, but even in that, this place is an anomaly. I can only tell you what I know. My twin brother is here, but he comes from a world where our mother made a different choice. And you display abilities I am familiar with, in theory, but so have others here, and they aren't from the same place as me.

[bitchimmagneto]

Familiar abilities you possess or have merely witnessed?

[limu_o_pele]

Possess, though I can only move... [She takes a long moment trying to think of the right word. She lifts a hand and pushes it through the air, as if that might help explain.] energy. [That still isn't quite right, and she frowns slightly.] If it's truly needed.

Everything else in me is seeing. Sometimes shaping, or copying, if it's needed.

[She's only recently learnt the word telepath, and she doesn't think to use it.]

Can you move anything?

[bitchimmagneto]

Energy? [ He's kind of intrigued now, but he makes a note to keep the helmet on his head should he interact with this one outside of the network. ] I see.

No. Metal.

[limu_o_pele]

Energy is the closest word. [She's starting to look quite frustrated with herself over it.] I can... push things away, if I need to. [Again with the pushing motion, as useless as it is.]

Metal. [She thinks about this for a short time, hasn't heard of anything like it specifically before, considers all the applications. It makes him very powerful, she decides.]

I assume not everyone in your world has abilities like you, considering you thought me ignorant.

[bitchimmagneto]

Push? With your mind?

[ This helmet will never be off his head, will it? ]

No, they are few and far between. But not for long.

[limu_o_pele]

I don't know. [A small frown.] Maybe. It's something inside, so that would be the easiest way to describe it.

[She's never really had to analyse what she can do before, only how to use and control it.]

You should be careful, when you return. [No if there, still confident everyone will get out of Promenade somehow.] When we first started appearing... some hunted us. There was-- is a war, it tore a rift in the world. One half still lives in fear.

[bitchimmagneto]

[ He narrows his eyes again at that. ] A war that they started and we will end. Even if we are not from the same world it seems as though you're suffering the same as my ilk. We will not live in fear for long, but I appreciate the warning.

[limu_o_pele]

[It saddens her that the warning has come too late, and she's quiet for a moment, making sure the emotion doesn't press too deep.]

It's been fifty years, for us. I hope you find peace more quickly.

[Before fighting and suffering became a legacy in families like hers.]

My name is Asha.

[bitchimmagneto]

We should hope, but that will only get us so far. I have every intention of bringing about that peace soon though.

[ He pauses. ]

Magneto.
