Well, rules for rules? One, no mind control. Two, that you guarantee progress rather than this being a mechanism by which I stay a forever chore girl. I don’t want to be rude, and I do appreciate your hospitality, but I just really, really want to avoid being taken advantage of ever again.

@Magnanimity

Mind control is so far beyond forbidden that it’s not even a question. For the second, if I needed more help I’d find more help. I’m not interested in another permanent resident.

Magic is real?

@Magnanimity

As much as I wish it didn’t.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

As long as you won't be trying anything extra. Being subject to mind control for so long make a person want to avoid being taken advantage of ever again.

@Magnanimity

There are three rules for tenants of the Blue Phoenix Estate: One, no magic. Ever. Two, everyone helps maintain the grounds. That’s cleaning, cooking, gardening, chores like that. Three, never try to enter locked rooms. If you can live with that, you’re welcome to stay.

Even hearing it's possible is all I needed. It means someone out there can do it surely, even if the search would ideally end with you.

@Magnanimity

On the subject of being a vagrant, do you want to stay in the guest rooms while the machine searches? It’ll need samples from you along the way anyway.

You have no idea how grateful I'd be. I just want to get out of this loop of never knowing where I am or anyone there.

@Magnanimity

I can understand that much. Just don’t misunderstand me, I’m not a miracle worker.

Lucky. You know, maybe I really am.

@Magnanimity

You’ll be someone lucky if it works. But planets are large, and universes are larger. Yours wouldn’t be the tiniest needle I’ve dug up.

@Magnanimity

Most people hold some underlying connection to where they came from. Depending on what they do, that connection may get weaker over time. Lucky for you, this is a specialty of mine.

If you told me it was possible, it'd be the best news I've heard in ages.

@Magnanimity

It’s possible. Just not guaranteed.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Yes to both by technicality. I was more of a weapon than a participant, I guess is the best way to put it...

@Magnanimity

That makes it harder. Finding where you came from is probably something I can do, but I can’t promise it would be quick.

*Takes a deep breath, mentally preparing myself to answer*
A really big war.

@Magnanimity

Were you strongly involved? And were you around a lot of people from other worlds?
