*Nods again in the same manner*
*Inspects one of them more closely and responds with a new seriousness in my tone*
Are they conscious?

*Inspects one of them more closely and responds with a new seriousness in my tone*
Are they conscious?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
*Gives you a single nod, by nudging my head downwards to you, holding it for a moment, then raising it back up*
Are they, er...
*Motions a thumb toward one of the statues*

Take all the time you need. You deserve the satisfaction of figuring it out like I did.
Are you saying that people are alive here?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Don’t worry about that, we’re not actually going anywhere. I said you’re already here, and I meant it. I’ll even let you lot go ahead and try to find them.
*Side-eyes Rythian*
Okay, let's see it.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
I have plans in motion for one of them. The other is quite simple. Would you like to see it, since you’re already here?
Ahhhh sure. But I've always held to the philosophy that telling someone this kind of thing is a bad omen for the one hearing it.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Yes, I’m glad you bring that back up. I spent all this time trying to hunt down those who remained while keeping everything under wraps. I’ve long since thrown secrecy to the wind, of course, but imagine my dismay when I learned that there were not one, but two whole worlds that exist now where Tzarian people still live en masse.
*Lifts my hand with my thumb pressed against the middle phalanx of my index finger, and then drops it when I start speaking*
This... sure just got a whole lot more complicated.

Reaching the point where diplomacy works would be a great breakthrough. A bit late for that, though. The rest of the universe wound up a lot like this… Only several years later.
It's worth a try, especially since—
*Motions to our surroundings, much like you did*
Alright then, I'm gonna cook up a character sheet. I think I'll drop him in somewhere on the dead planet...
I'm not the driver on that one, so I'll leave it up to him. Just make sure you also give us a description of how Axl left the bounds of his own dimension.

I usually end it before they can break the repetition by getting out. The variables start to get out of hand nearly instantly.
*Motions with my hands to the general area, implying that’s the sort of position we’re in now*
Okay—
*Points at you with both index fingers*
Now I'm following one hundred percent. I'd say diplomacy is up for grabs.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
A fair assumption to make, without intimate knowledge from close observation and repeated cycles of a universe’s worth of experience to base it on.
*Straightens my shoulders and glances at each of you, one by one*
I did say I usually end it here. But given the way things have changed, your return here is not indicative of your end, this time. Things are going to have to play out differently.
I wouldn't think so. Universe cycles that drag other universes or Tier Fours into them are beyond even calling rare.
