For those of you who might give a fuck, Jake English is gone from the bubble again.
The kid's going to earn himself a title of flighty broad, at this rate.
Maybe the third time's the charm, if our "great and powerful God" deigns to deliver him a third time.
I rather suspect that it's too busy quoting Dirty Harry at us and our delightful circumstance.

It was during the curse. He compared the powers of my friends and I to Captain Planet. Something about you filling in for Heart if we didn't have one.
So what is the function of the game?

That's probably a question for someone who's gotten closer to the end of their session. Or who has a viable session at all.
But from what I know, it's meant to birth universes.

So destroying one to make another? That's a pretty messed up game.

And then some.
No one you ask about that game will have anything good to say about it.

I know enough about it now to know prying will only dig up bad memories. I won't ask any more about it.

Depends on what you're asking.
I already got you to spill some details about your situation, I won't mind a few questions.
Fair's fair, and that shit.

Yeah, but I didn't go into anything personal.
If you want to tell me anything else about it you can. But I don' want to go asking the wrong questions. It's bad enough you just lost your friend again to the whims of this place.

There's no curse going on that'll make me tell you.
Amazingly, I'm not above telling people to fuck off if they're being intrusive.
You'll note I haven't done that yet.

I know you don't have to tell me, but that doesn't mean it won't bring up bad memories for you.

[Give him a moment. He's not used to having his friends be so conscious of his feelings. Because half the time he's compared to a robot.]

If you insist.
Let's change the topic.

[He's thinking of his own feelings as much as Dirk's right now. Thinking about the sad things is something he actively tries to avoid. He figures Dirk probably does too.]

Yeah.
I finally got my hands on some celestial bronze the other day. You should come check it out sometime.

Hell fucking yes I should.
You make it into anything yet, or is it just scrap at this point?

I'm working on something, but most of it's still scrap.

That's fine with me.
I can compare the raw material to the finished state.
I don't often get the chance to use materials that haven't been previously manufactured in some way or another.
It's hella inconvenient at times.

I got a few small raw pieces. Which was all they had in that state. But everything else I got has already been used.
Feel free to drop by whenever. Don't have any solid plans right now, so I'm around.

Be there in a few.

[And sure enough, it doesn't take Dirk long to make his way over to the demigod house, thanks to it only being a few doors down. Once he's there, he'll knock on the garage door, since that's where he assumes Leo is.]

[Without looking over or completely stopping what he's doing, Leo pushes a button to automatically open the side door to the garage. He'd made and installed the device earlier that week. There was no reason to ask who it was.]

Hey, Dirk.

[He's sitting at the desk that he'd recently relocated to the garage from his bedroom. It was getting a little crowded in there. In the center of the garage is a small but decently sized pile of celestial bronze. Next to it are some random scrap parts that he'd gotten from some shop. The only furniture in there besides his desk is a shelving unit with a bunch of random projects he's finished, others he's only just started, some tools, the Archimedes sphere and the scrolls.]

[He's working on the gift for Nanaki, adding a few finishing touches to the SFC stand portion of the project.]
