[ there's something vaguely bemused about satariel's expression as they find rex, although it's not unkind or unfriendly, their daemon perched raven-formed on the top of their hooded head. ]

You know, I can't really say that I've met someone that looks like that? Generally, people where I come from don't really have four arms.

[ wherever rex is, there's a flutter of wings as one of the watchers lands beside him. ]

Hey! You want to know where we were before this started? Do you mean before you guys got here, or before before?

[ they're coming to find rex just outside the opera house. a noodle has hitched a ride on their shoulder. rude! ]

You think this isn't real?

[third_alternative]

Same where I'm from, that's why I figured I'd lead with the arms and not, y'know. The weird schoolgirl uniform thing.

Hmmm...if you haven't seen her...then what about any red swirling portal things? End up walking or falling through any of those before you ended up here?

[third_alternative]

Uhhh...before before? Wherever you were before you got here.

[third_alternative]

I'm not saying it's not real--probably--just that...I wanna make sure if I'm still in my world or some weird alternate one.

[grigori]

I think that's actually a pretty great lead-in? If you're looking for somebody, that is. So, hey, good idea!

[ but they shake their head at that, daemon wobbling with the motion. ]

No red portals here. I've seen portals before, in my world, but nothing red and swirling.

[grigori]

Oh. I was at school, back in my own world.

[third_alternative]

What kinda portals did you have, then?

[third_alternative]

At school? Seriously? You went from going to school to this?

[grigori]

[ a beat, mulling over how many specifics they can share about themselves. ]

Magic comes from a separate realm, so the ones I've seen have been to that realm.

[grigori]

Yes...? Is that hard to believe?

[grigori]

It's a different world from the one you're used to, but that doesn't mean it isn't real. Maybe yours is the alternate world.

[ hey rex, where can you be found because wherever that is, rameel will popup and appear right behind him humming to himself. ]

Now isn't that a question to be answered. Where did they come from?

[third_alternative]

[ oh boy, it's gonna be one of THESE types of conversations, huh. ]

I'm asking you. Do you actually know, or are you just gonna pretend like you do?

[grigori]

[ will it be? ]

Which one would you have me answer? I can pretend to say that I know or I can pretend that I don't.

[third_alternative]

I don't care what world is alternate, just whether or not it's mine.

[third_alternative]

I mean...yeah. It's kind of the most basic and boring place for a person to be. Why pluck someone out of a classroom and do all...this? [ vague gesturing to them and like. everything. ]

[third_alternative]

[ IT ALREADY FUCKEN IS!!!!! ]

Just tell me the truth.

[third_alternative]

Magic, huh... what kind of magic we talkin' here?

[ is it like. woowoo nanite magic? or legit real-deal MAGIC magic?? ]

[grigori]

[ lmao. ]

The truth is that I'm not sure. My reaction was kind of like the rest of you.

[grigori]

Maybe there's something special about me that neither of us know yet? I mean, there's probably some of you that were in school before, too, right?

[grigori]

[ sigh. ]

Listen, you aren't one of ours, so I don't see why I should bother talking to you at all. But it doesn't matter if you're in your world or not right now, because it's still going to be involved.

[third_alternative]

[ makes a shrugging "I dunno" sound ]

I sure as heck didn't. Aside from like, one day.

[third_alternative]

So you guys don't have any idea what's up with these either. Great. You could've just said that, y'know.
