The concept of a homunculus is even more chilling, isn't it?

@Memory

Sure... for you maybe... Listen, before this whole crazy ride i happen to be dragged along ever since you came around, i was a materialist pragmatist. Plain and simple. Magic was mad talk, especially considering that my powers were made in a literal laboratory! Then when i got zapped to the future, i thought a Martian must have done it. Turns out now that Gods and Magic and Unicorns actually are real.

That said, Homunculi are merely a term used for a kind of creature that doesn't even mean is alive. The skill i learned in heaven was how to create actual life out of minerals and liquids and magic.

*Stares blankly for a few moments*
Someone I... think I once knew cautioned that souls are delicate things and not so easily created. Plus, we could just go to a populated world.

@Memory

*Blinks flustered at your memory problem* We're gonna HAVE to fix that brain of yours somehow man! But, even so, what if souls aren't the same way crafted in all realities? And what if some realities don't even have souls or a spiritual element to them? And we just bring that element into them because we come from such a world?

*Raises an eyebrow*
Am I wrong?

@Memory

N... No...? *Fumbles*

And then what's the problem with creating people for our new base here then? I get the summoning Akasha here is potentially dangerous, but the people thing seems to be only a moral issue...

I'm not even so concerned about your crossing some sort of right/wrong line with that spell specifically. I'm much more concerned about you accidentally blowing yourself up, or worse, summoning those horrors here.

@Memory

... *Awkward silent moment*

OY! ... *Points a finger at you with more awkward silence*

... *Opens mouth to talk but then closes and more awkward silence*

Betting on that is the most dangerous avenue I can think of.

@Memory

Listen, i don't come from a clean and shiny background. Hell, in fact i lived my first 105 years of life when i was still in my original timeline as a murderer, fame gatherer, capricious, liar and downright hating and looking down on everyone else. Then a good portion of it spent lots of time tortured by a country of commies. You won't know much of that since you are not even from that whole cluster of infinitudes.

*Mumbling sorrowful* I sound mad even talking like that right now but hey what's new at this point.

*Talking normally* That said, i don't hold your stance from a roots beginning, as it stands. For me forbidden or theoretically immoral is just a dare. If you are that concerned, then i'll perform the action on the other side of the planet, and you can think on it here. Whatever helps us i'll take it, and whatever doesn't i'll discard.

I feel as though you’re not taking this seriously enough.

@Memory

No, i'm not, because like you said, the laws are different out here than they were back there. meaning you cannot know for sure that me doing what was forbidden back there, is actually forbidden in here.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

I think you’re crossing a sort of moral boundary here. You shouldn’t do it.

@Memory

*Pouts and mumbles* You should have thought about that when you destroyed my universe and now he thinks himself all holier than thou...
*Speaks normal* I don't know what you're talking about! Now let's build a spaceship then!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Let's just go to a world with real people on it. You never know when something we learned over there will blow up in our faces out here.

@Memory

Well sure we can do that, but i'd prefer exploring this universe for that, not just randomly jump realities until we just might get lucky.
And again. Me making people here, is going to happen, whether you help me or not, you don't even have to watch me do it if it is so scary for you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

I'm not really comfortable pretending to be some kind of god over this world. There's something not right about that.

@Memory

I don't see this as an act that only a god can do. Especially if it is available to learn how to do to any talented alchemist. We need people we can trust from the start. Risking our lives and encountering someone that can deceive us from the start like we experienced already, is not something i want to go through again!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

For rebuilding the records? I don’t have one other than writing down everything we know.

@Memory

We could do that, but we didn't learned too much, like i learned the ability to create sentient life through deep alchemy, and that is something i do plan to use for us to create some people here... But other than that, we need more than just the two of us, and i'm not entirely sure what this universe is truly populated by. Also i'm not entirely ready to just jump into another reality at random and roll the dice and cross our fingers just like that.
