@merasmus-suggests
I’m sorry.
@askmerasmus
I hope this works.
[OOC]
Fixed the link, since the account was brand new when I made the post!
Moved to @askmerasmus for the time being, I’ll hopefully get to work on decorating his blog with code and stuff later, but the internet has been out since last night, so it may be a while.
Merasmus appears to be struggling to open and maintain a powerful, but small portal anchoring the two worlds. As he takes a deep breath and bolts through, he turns around just in time to see a ginger-haired silhouette running from afar.
Then the connection severs, and the portal snaps closed.
It’s a feeling he’ll never get used to, the void separating two worlds. Suffocating dark wrapping around you, unable to breathe as you have to battle your way towards the exit, knowing that if you’re lucky, you only have a second to spare. And if you’re not, you’ll be lost forever. He’s terrified.
He stretches forwards, and leaps out of the other side of the link, tumbling onto the ground and rolling into the grass, gasping for air. It’s a full moon tonight, and a stray wizard has found himself in a version New Mexico, so similar to where he had came from, but knowing that nobody here will be the same.
And with that, he promptly passes out on the sparse, gravelly grass.
*The magic-using Demobot looks on from their vantage point, seeing and feeling this surge of magic. They stand to get a better look.*
Oh now this! This is interesting.
*They make quick work of traveling there, using portals as well. As they lightly step up to the wizard, their giddiness is hardly contained.*
Oh, how curious… What to do with you…
Merasmus remains quiet, completely unconscious. It’s clear that whatever he just managed to pull off was close to the impossible, as foreign and unstable magic is pouring off of him in waves. The thing is, it’s not flowing back into the earth as it should be.
No, it’s being destroyed.
It’s not meant to be used this way.
Unfortunately, it also seems it can’t be utilized by the bot, either. Darn.

I hope this works.
This is something I’ve been afraid of happening for a long time… Ever since I arrived here…
I fear that my time in this universe has been cut short, and I am close to being behind schedule on hopping to the next…
I’ve spent most of my power just trying to get here, and I fear I will not be able to draw enough to do it again. Not without knowing how to easily conjure magic on this version of Earth.
I don’t want these people I’ve met to be hurt, I cannot be stubborn, mortals. I cannot stay.
I can’t tell them that I am going. The window is too short, and I may just be able to barely get through to a parallel world- a shorter hop…
It would be dangerous, but it would place me a step ahead of my pursuers. Not to mention, it should buy me enough time… A few months, maybe more, to relearn how magic operates here.
I’ve got all of my things ready, I merely hope they won’t blame me for leaving without saying goodbye.
How do you deny being a werewolf right after acting like a big dog when flea medicine
Uh-
Cuz Spoi's a cranky old delusional man?-
what kinda dog would snipes be? I think a border collie maybe
Some kind of hunting dog for sure.
yeah!!
Personally, I’d place my bets on something less domesticated! Something like a wolf, a coyote… Probably a coyote, seeing as you’re stationed in the desert right now, ja?
'M NOT A WERE-ANYTHIN! DJWJDVSNSKSJBWBS-
..Yet!
..Don' ya dare-
So our good Snipes wants to be a werewolf, eh?
Should we bring in Merasmus or?
“NO!!” Sniper exclaims, crawling up on the top shelf in a frenzy. “Do NOT let Merasmus touch me!”
I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED! I was in the middle of tea- your punishment? SPELL OF TURN YOU INTO WEREWOLF! Or something.
Ponder about healing potion recipes…
Discuss various topics with your new mortal friend!
Promise Daye you’ll take xem to see the birds!
To distract Daye, ask about xer favorite activities to pass time! Perhaps Merasmus can find something us two can do that takes less energy that way.
“Uhm…I mean….I guess I….watch movies and…blow up the microwave?”
Xe chuckle a bit, smiling nervously.
“Ah, you’re mischievous then! I’m afraid we cannot blow up the microwave, though… I do not know if this place has any movies, do you?”
“Yeah, uh…in the….rec room…Oh! I can..I can show you carebears….”
“Carebears..? I have never heard of these things..! And- ah, I do not think we can visit the rec room right now… I do not know where it is, and the further Merasmus is, the less magic I can send your way…” He frowns.
“Damn….Maybe you can carry me? You’re…You’re strong enough for that, right?”
“Well, Merasmus carried you here, did he not? But ehm… I am a bit tired… Perhaps we should wait to do that…”
“Okay…….How about you…? You’ve got hobbies, right?”
“Well… Merasmus? Hobbies is one way to put it, I suppose… Though I’ve yet to find many that fit in with this world… Potion-making is one, though!”
He chuckles, giving a sort of wavery smile, “Merasmus hasn’t had much time for real hobbies for a long time… This world is a much needed break..!”
“Yeah…sounds like it….You should feed some birds or something…go to a park.”
They gesture vaguely, still a little out of it.
“Ah, no… Well, maybe. Merasmus has not done anything of the sort yet! But… Well, despite this place being a break, I find it hard to settle in just yet.”
Glancing around the room, Merasmus seems briefly distracted, before returning to Daye. “No matter! I have potions to brew! Spells to… Conjure… Eh, maybe not those… You get the gist, though, mortal!”

Try to reassure the mortal who’s crying that it’s okay to do so! Crying is perfectly natural, see.
Unsure of exactly how to comfort xem, help to wipe away the tears and pet xer hair, assuring xem that things will be alright.
Xe lean into the touch, but start crying even more. Xe choke back a sob, turning over so they're face-down on the couch. It helps.
Xe sniffle, trying to steady xer emotions, to no avail.
"F-Fuck."
“Shh, save your breath, mortal! Merasmus suggests this for your personal health! Just… Let it out, bottling it up is no good!”
“Think of it like a terrible potion you’re brewing! If you’re angry it boils over! No need to be angry at yourself for reasonable emotions…”
Xe let out a sob, continuing to cry into the couch.
"I..I m-miss my dad.."
“Who might your dad be..?”
He continues to pet Daye’s hair. He has an idea or two, but he’d like to know for sure before seeing about telling xem.
"Uhm...Fuck-"
Xe wiped xer tears, looking up at Merasmus.
"Demo-Demoman. He's...He's okay, right?"
“Considering I can sense him nearby, yes! He is, mortal!”
He gives Daye a knowing smile.
“They’re perfectly fine. They’re safe.”
Xe weakly smile, putting xer head back down, though now facing sideways so xe can still converse.
"Cool....cool..."
Merasmus nods, though he frowns at xer continued talking.
“Are you feeling alright enough to talk this much, mortal? If so, I may wean you off of the magic flow momentarily, then put you back on. Merasmus thinks this may help aid in your recovery... But I do not want to destabilize you, either.”
Xe nod.
" It...might help. I can't...make my own magic right now, so...that...might help."
Xe sound a little tuckered out, probably from all of the crying.
Merasmus gives a thumbs up, staying seated by xer side. He very, very slowly, and carefully unwinds a thread of magic, lifting it away from xem, and watches for any ill effects.
Xe gasp, as xer form beings to destabilize again. It’s better than the last time, but it’s still clearly causing xem pain. Xe attempt to say something, but it’s garbled and glitchy, like a broken record player.
“Ah-,” He waits a moment, then reintroduces the thread, frowning. “That is... Not ideal!”
“It does seem to be an improvement, though...”
Xer form stabilizes again, breathing heavily. Xe groan slightly, dragging a hand down xer face.
“Yeah....Damn, that hurt.”
“It must have..! Merasmus worries about this... But it is a promising development...”
“Hm, perhaps a distraction is in order, then?”
