M!A - Nothing is Alive Out There: Everything Muse touches, dies. Everything.
Para breathes heavily as they stop, putting their hands on their knees and doubling over. They cannot believe that they let the birds chase them for an hour! The budgies only stopped because they threw the whole bag of birdseed onto the ground! Argh, stupid pesky hair magic!
The dimension jumper groans, swiping their fedora off from the ground and placing it back on their head, hiding their hair from view. Finally, this is much better. Unfortunate, they happen to be right next to The Orb as they do so, and yet another ball of magic flies at them.
Para lets out a yelp, falling onto backside as the magic collides with them. Seriously, again?! What now?! “Argh!” they yell in frustration, slamming their hands on the grassy ground. What’s with these Mysterious Anomalies?! Why couldn’t it have been-!
…Hold on. The dimension jumper looks at the ground in confusion, standing up to get a better look at it. …Huh? The grass is…dead? It doesn’t seem to be spreading…wait a minute. Para squats down, brushing their hand against a clump of grass, their eyes widening as it decays before them.
Oh no, do they kill anything they touch now?! They’re even wearing gloves, so those don’t even help?! Para stand back up, letting out a hiss through their teeth. Great, just great. How are they supposed to go back home with this magical burden?!
The dimension jumper is snapped out of their thoughts as they hear chirping, and they look up to see the budgies flying back towards them. Their eyes widen. Oh no, if they touch them, they’ll die as well! “[No! Stay back!]” they exclaim, before spinning around, opening a portal, and jumping into it. Para needs to get to someplace without any living beings! This curse can’t last forever, can it?
…And little do they now, another ball of magic had followed them out.
