Muse is excited about newcomers to the city. Is NOT excited about a hiatus.

[deusrexmachina]

Dude, wait. What? A two week hiatus? Even if it isn't happening until more like the start of November, that's still so close! Plus so much can happen in two weeks! All these cool new people arriving and you need to call a hiatus right after they get to Nautilus? Seriously?

Man. It figures you wouldn't give me the break I've been wanting until I don't actually want it. Not like it's news, but wow, mun. You really are horrible.

Great. One less Muggle to put up with, I suppose.

[Said sarcastically, because he'd much prefer NOT GO AT ALL.]

[deusrexmachina]

What the heck is a Muggle?

[pineapplesalmon]

I'm not happy about the hiatus, either. Who knows what could happen while the two of us are gone....

[Especially keeping Dib completely unsupervised. :|]

[greenandgrey]

You. At least, that's what the bloody woman says.

[He's not worried about mentioning it around here anymore because what is this place even.]

[deusrexmachina]

Ooookay. That explains like...nothing. Where I'm from, the term applied to people like me is "EVO."

[materialgirl]

Uh, wow, hello? What could possibly be going on for two weeks that's so important you can't even check up on the game? Doesn't your mun have, like, an internet phone or anything like that?

[greenandgrey]

... What does that even mean?

There are too many people in this inane place.

[deusrexmachina]

It's an acronym that basically means my DNA is mutated and I'm technically not human anymore.

[deusrexmachina]

Yeah, that too... I know for sure some of the newbies are gonna be cool. They're the ones I wanna meet, but I dunno about the rest of them. Like if they might cause trouble or something. Or if guys like Discord might cause problems.

[One of the few advantages of going home for the hiatus... He'll be out of Discord's reach.]

[deusrexmachina]

Something about artistic preparation and a convention. I think it's an anime convention? Don't get me wrong, I totally dig anime, but if I had to pick between that and getting to know people like Jaime and Korra? The latter definitely wins out for me.

And yeah, she does, but she's calling me a "big time distraction." She's also telling me to have more patience. Pfft.

[hasnomentor]

Come on ese. It's only two weeks. I'm sure us newcomers can find something to entertain ourselves. Oh! And I'll keep Korra company for you.

[spider_kisser]

A two week period to take a break doesn't sound bad to me.

[greenandgrey]

... What?

... So... You're an Animagus or something? Werewolf?

[deusrexmachina]

...I have no idea what an Animagus is and I'm not a werewolf. Also you still haven't explained what a Muggle is, either.

[deusrexmachina]

But so much can happen in two weeks! Besides, it's kinda my job as an Ascended to look after the newbies and show them the ropes.

[deusrexmachina]

[Was going to say something about Jaime's alien tech thingy not working at first and making him an easier target if something goes wrong, but--]

Oh, uh. You met Korra, huh?

[Mixed feelings on this. Also, PRIORITIES.]

[thisclinchesit]

Downtime's downtime - take it when you can get it, kid.

So... What can one expect in that place, eh? Mun's been looking at it, for better or worse. I know about the power issues - that'll be bothersome, but not impossible to work with.

[materialgirl]

Of course you're a big time distraction. You're the fun kind of distraction.

Anime. Right. Those are those Japanese cartoons where the lips don't match the words, right?

[pronetoprobing]

You're leaving Nautilus?

Why?

[deusrexmachina]

[But don't want it right NOW...]

So Nautilus might become your new home, huh? Reality storms are the big thing. They hit like once a month or so and change the city, us or both. Like the last one caused people to slide forward or backward along their personal timelines.

[deusrexmachina]

[...uhm. Looks somewhat like Zim, but obviously is not Zim. Who the heck...?]

Yeah, I'm going home with my brother for a while. Why?

[pronetoprobing]

Caesar's leaving too?!

[Oh god. worst news ever]

Why?! What's at home?

[deusrexmachina]

[What's going on, here? And why is his mun laughing at him? URGH.]

How do you know my brother? And why should it matter to you what we do? I don't eve know, wh--

[Wait a sec.]

[His eyes narrow.]

Who are you?

[pronetoprobing]

What-...?

Oh, that's just great, Rex! Jeez! I mean, I know we don't like each other, but pretending I don't exist? Forgetting me? That's...that is low! Come on!

[thisclinchesit]

[Well, can't always have what we want, unfortunately. Shoutarou for one doesn't want to go to this place...]

H-uh.

Not the strangest thing I've seen, but not exactly an encouraging prospect, either...
