... this muse doesn't like me much

[greenandgrey]

Oh, bloody hell!

No! Did anyone even bother to ask me to come here?

I don't even know what this is! Some bloody inter-dimensional hub filled with nothing but filthy ignorant muggles! Yes! This is exactly where I want to be! Why not!?

... Listen, you little half twit. I best be out of this damn place in under an hour if you want to continue seeing the bloody sun!

No one ever asks us.

[greenandgrey]

... What is this place then? Why did she bring me here?

[He doesn't trust the mun. Good plan, really.]

[alwaystraveling]

Some kind of void where people like us come to talk to those who bring us here. Usually to complain about it and other things they put us through, though some are content or actually want to play in 'games.'

Other than that I'm afraid I don't know. I was minding my own business, and then here I was.

[greenandgrey]

What kind of games are we talking about here?

[alwaystraveling]

They call them games - I'd call them adventures, if I felt generous. They involve going through hardships under the whims of our muns and the rulers of whatever world we get dropped in.

She dropped me in a lake for starters, and then had me trying to escape nightmarish monsters in a week. It's essentially kidnapping people to abuse them for the sake of 'character building.'

[greenandgrey]

[... He's just going to ground his teeth for a second.]

I am not staying here.

And who are you?

from an AU where Harry was raised as Dick Grayson.

[dickandharry]

Yeah, because having a temper tantrum is going to get you out of here.

[alwaystraveling]

Well, good luck with that. It usually doesn't work with the other people who complain. At least it's not always hardship, since the people you meet are in the same situation and some are willing to help.

My name is Yvaine.

... Dude, that is awesome

[greenandgrey]

And nice to see you, too, Potter.

It's better than playing nice and acting as if I wanted to be dragged here.

[greenandgrey]

I don't need help.

Draco Malfoy.

[alwaystraveling]

Good on you if you don't. That's quite useful when around strangers.

[wise_lil_wolf]

Hey, I'm an EVO, not a Muggle.

What's A Muggle?

[deniesmagic]

Muggles? Heh, that's a funny word.

[greenandgrey]

Exactly.

Are you one of the muggles, too?

[He's just going to assume that everyone is. Except for Potter down there.]

Re: ... Dude, that is awesome

[dickandharry]

Yeah, but it accomplishes about as much.

[alwaystraveling]

[She wasn't going to say this, but she just realized that people here don't remember anything they experienced when they go into a game, so it should be safe.]

If that's what you call stars, then yes. [She starts to glow a bit.]

[greenandgrey]

You are.

Now what's an EVO?

[greenandgrey]

We kill muggles.

[Only some of them... some of the time...]

[greenandgrey]

I am not staying and if you think otherwise then you're more of a fool than I thought.

[wise_lil_wolf]

[Cue raised eyebrow.]

A Muggle is an EVO?

[Rafe shakes his head.]

Wait, you don't know what an EVO is?

[Serious face]

Are you an alien?

[greenandgrey]

What th-!?

[She's not a muggle... but she can't be a witch, can she?]

What the hell are stars!?

[greenandgrey]

No. I'm a pure blood wizard and your better by every meaning of the phrase.

[wise_lil_wolf]

Whoa, a wizard?

Do you have a wand?

Can you turn into an owl?

If I was a wizard, I'd have a cool hat with stars and things on it.

And a pet dragon.

[dickandharry]

You're staying as long as your min wants you to stay. That's kind of the thing with relative omnipotence. Besides, might do you some good. You might finally realize that the universe doesn't revolve around you.

[alwaystraveling]

We shine in the sky. But we can't enter the place where humans typically live, in my world. Not without becoming rocks.

Hmm, you must come from such a place. You're not the first person I've met surprised to see a star in my form.
