Homeless Walter is homeless

[episcopus]

How extraordinary! So many alternate worlds, all unique, and they- they take people from other worlds entirely and cram them together, just to see what happens! This is absolutely fascinating, I wish I could just sit down and watch what happens in every one. I don't suppose you could make that happen, ah, "mun," is it? Short for mundane, yes, I see. I suppose your life is quite mundane compared to what goes on in here, but chin up! There's nothing wrong with an ordinary life. Some of us are quite jealous of anyone with one, as a matter of fact, so, count your blessings!

i haven't played this version in a while, so bear with me.

[cortexiphaned]

Fascinating, sure, but it's not exactly enjoyable for those of us who are sent some place.

quite alright!

[episcopus]

Oh, Olivia! Yes, I can imagine how some of these places are less than pleasant, but-

...Oh, dear. You weren't...?

<33

[cortexiphaned]

[ The corner of her mouth quirks up slightly when he pieces it together, then she nods. ] A few places, actually, and now she's got a different version of me in a game.

[episcopus]

[He's definitely interested in stories of these places, but he can pressure Olive for those later!] A different version? Do you mean the other Olivia? From the other side?

[cortexiphaned]

...sort of. It's me, but I think I'm her. [ Which this version of Olivia obviously doesn't like. At all. ]

[episcopus]

Oh, oh yes, I remember that! They injected some sort of chemical copy of her memories into you, if I recall your explanation correctly, and you temporarily forgot your real self. Absolutely brilliant technology... [Yes, let's not think of how Olivia feels about that, that's a good Walter.] So, you believe yourself to be the Olivia from the other side, but you are, in fact, you. My, how convoluted.

[tookhishand]

Hello, Walter.

You should come with me.

[episcopus]

[Welp, heart attack time for Walter.]

Oh, it's you. Where... are we going?

[tookhishand]

To the Camp, where you will find a hundred realities.

[episcopus]

Oh... do they have a swimming pool?

[tookhishand]

There is a lake.

[episcopus]

I see... I'm afraid I'm not a very big fan of lakes, for reasons I am sure you understand.

[onlyoneof]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with September.

[episcopus]

Peter! Wonderful to see you here, I-

Wait, I should go with him? Is that safe?

[onlyoneof]

Probably not, but we're at the same place so safety is secondary.

[episcopus]

Well, that doesn't sound so bad, no. But, what if Agent Broyles has need of our help? We'll not be gone long, will we?

[onlyoneof]

There's a time distortion, so technically we won't be gone at all no matter how... well, how long we're gone.

[episcopus]

Oh, wonderful! And fascinating, what kind of place is this "camp" where they have the ability to bend and stretch time in such a way? I hope the children in attendance are alright, these are forces that shouldn't be trifled with, as you well know.

...because.

[pyreof]

[ watching you for now. ]

oh my.

[episcopus]

[HMMMMMM.

looks like Walter, only grumpier. this can only mean one thing.]

When did you grow your hair out?

[astridnotastro]

Walter, no wandering off into other dimensions without telling someone, please. I'm pretty sure you've already taken a couple of years off my life as it is.

[episcopus]

Hello, Asterisk! No need to worry yourself, I'm happy to simply sit here and watch what goes on in these other worlds.

At least, for now. You never know when I'll find one that is just irresistible, do you?

[astridnotastro]

Astrid. Walter, my name is still Astrid. I'm going to start writing it on the back of your hand.

[ she reaches up, patting his lapels down. ] Please don't go wherever you might go alone, then?

[episcopus]

Of course, my dear. I know your name quite well, I'm merely testing you to make sure you remember it as well. The brain is a tricky thing, it needs to be constantly exercised!

[aww, fussing, it's sweet of her.] Not to worry. I am sure that, if and when I decide to go some place, I'll be well-accompanied. But then, that isn't necessarily my decision, now... I may be at the whim of someone quite unkind.

[astridnotastro]

[ uh-huh, yeah, sure, walter. ] Oh, of course you were. That's very thoughtful of you, Walter, but I don't think you need to test me on my own name anymore.

.. You'd best not be. I'm completely prepared to kick someone's ass if I have to. [ nevermind that she's not exactly a kick-in-doors agent the way olivia is. ]
