@Memory

Yyyup!

*Takes another swig from the whisky bottle*

The lady: Soooo, interesting discussion between you and the new guy Benny, but are we going to do anything tonight?

Soldier Boy: Don't worry sweetheart, i'll check up with you in a minute, in the meantime why don't you let me pay for your stay here and the drinks?

*The girl giggles in pleased surprise*

Soldier Boy: Anyway, where was i, so you're serious? You actually travel between worlds? Like how is that possible? Can one even do that willingly? And i'm not talking between planets, like people seem to be able to do these days like calling a cab, but like i did? Is that what you mean?

I don't take it you feel the same?

@Memory

What do you mean by that? I just told you you lost me... You just told me you 'visit' worlds and cultures, for me just being here, is already too much, about 6 months ago i was in a stupid fight for the sake of justice and it turned out that my very son was the main villain, and i was betrayed by my team... and somehow, one of them threw a blast of light in my direction that completely rendered the battle void... i think they would call that a win, but anyway... Yeah, after that blinding flash i found myself here...

I enjoy visiting new people, cultures and worlds. What’s your home like?

@Memory

Uhuh... uhuh...

*i take the half emptied bottle on the counter and chug it down my throat*

Cultures and worlds...

*I chuckle mockingly mostly to cope with the insanity i find myself in*

I think you lost me there bud!

Bartender: Oy! Are we good here?!

Soldier Boy: Shut up you pleb!

Bartender: ...Sheesh... another looney... as if this job isn't hard enough already...

You could call it a hobby of mine. As far as I know, I wasn’t subject to experimentation, but it’s hard to say for sure. As for other people, it really depends on the individual; everyone has their own story.
*Retrieves a glass of water for you and for myself*
Thirsty?

@Memory

Is this a joke? Water? give me a break...

*Chuckles dryly at the sight*

My thirst is satiated by whisky! but sure... I'll have some water...

*Drinks the glass whole, evidently dehydrated by the amount of alcohol he was consuming*

So... what I know for sure right now, is that I'm on planet Mars, apparently... that red ball in the sky that, right now seems to be green for reasons... I've been garnering some friends here and there, and understanding the situation i'm in, but i'm completely out of it as to why and how i got here...

So... about you... Prism... You seem interested in me. Not many people are this social around these parts, sure they call it an 'utopia' but this is just the looks and the glamour of it, not the reality...

*Chuckles bored*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

I’ve... seen many people do many creative and unexpected things. It comes with the territory.

@Memory

Bartender: Hey man! I swear I didn't put anything in your drink, this is not a pirate restaurant or anything... like calm your ass down or I'll call the sentinels to secure you!

Soldier Boy: *Completely ignoring the panicked man behind the counter*

So... territory... is this a job of yours? I was made like this by a company, were you also experimented upon like i was? Is this a thing that happens now? Do people just apply for powers and they just get them?

*Holds up my hands*
I’m not trying to incite anything. Just trying to have a conversation.

@Memory

Calm down! Not you pal! This dickhead who spiced my drink without my consent...

*I extinguish my hands then lift an eyebrow in surprise*

So you just saw me turning my hands into nuclear fire... and didn't act like that was unusual?

Myriad Reality

eyo @Memory and @Legend Begins, can i also roleplay the NPCs in scenes and worlds that i crafted? Like i just became a Soldier Boy-like aggressive towards the bartender and wanted to know if i can play him up or not...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

The name's Prism. Are you sure you're doing alright?

@Memory

I'm fine, damn it! Just a little... disoriented. This place ain't exactly what I'm used to. And been drifting around these parts for... six damn months... even keeping track of time is hard here!

*I stare into my nearly empty glass, a flicker of fear in my eyes.*

I'm... changing. Becoming something more. Something... uh...

*I continue staring*

And I ain't sure I like it.

*Looks dumbfounded at you and suddenly defensive*

In fact this ain't none of your business? Why am i spilling my beans to a comlete stranger all of the sudden? HEY BARTENDER! Give me my mon... credits back as you call them!

*I ignite my hands in a glaring fire*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

I see... what did you say your name was? What brings you here?

@Memory

Right! Alioth....

*I suddenly shake at the realization of what just came out of my mouth then stare furiously at the bartender*

HEY! What the' heck did you spiced my drink with?

*i turn awkwardly towards you with an apologetic demeanour*

Sorry, no no... my name is Ben... Damn... do they spice the drinks now?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

No, I’m just a traveler. Here to see what this land has, and what kind of people live here.

@Memory

Traveler, huh? Never heard that one before. You some kind of... space wanderer?

*I narrow my eyes, and grip tighter on my glass.*

This ain't no 'land,' friend. This whole place... it's like a fever dream. Ain't nothing like the good ol' U.S. of A.

*chuckles dryly, a hint of bitterness in the voice.*

We're all travelers in a way, ain't we? Just passing through this... 'land'

*stares into the drink, my reflection distorted in the amber liquid.*

Some of us, though, are more lost than others...
