[And Mickey can understand when enough is enough. He looks ahead for any enemies, trying to keep the conversation light but helpful.]

That's some impressive fire magic ya got there.

[justdid]

It's not fire magic it's

[Wait... what did those future people call it again]

firebending. I have the power to control fire...

[which... sounds like magic?? okay uh try and find a different way to explain...]

It's like a part of my body.

[PERFECT. And now to hastily move past that awkward moment.]

Is "magic" what you did earlier?

[takesyoubytheheart]

[he raises his eyebrows, intrigued.]

Sure was... does what ya do have anythin' ta do with "airbending"? I saw it a lil' while ago on the network, by a little girl. It was real amazin'!

[justdid]

That's right. Back home there are four elements: Fire, Air, Earth, and Water. And some people can bend them.

[He's not quite sure how it works anymore because as far as he knows a lion turtle gives away the ability but in the future people are apparently born with the ability to bend? So that's the best he can explain it.]

[He nods slowly, trying to keep up.]

I'm always amazed by what different worlds can do.

[justdid]

Your world has to be amazing too.

[with your magic and your giant talking animals]

[takesyoubytheheart]

That's one of the few things I like about this place. Gives me a chance ta learn about others, and even make new friends.

/revives the thread

[justdid]

This place is hard to believe sometimes. Even if I havn't been here for long I've made friends and learned a lot.

[despite his efforts to stay cheerful, his smile starts to fade.]

It's too bad it's amazing in a bad way right now.

[takesyoubytheheart]

[Can't... really argue with that one.]

Mmm... I've lived a long time, and I'm still shocked by the awful stuff.

[justdid]

Really? How long have you been here?

[let's change the topic]

[takesyoubytheheart]

Hm... I think I landed here about April...

[justdid]

[He has to think for a moment, because he's not totally sure what month it is or how long ago April was. But he does know how long he's been here.]

Sounds like awhile. I woke up in luceti ten days ago.

[but it looks like if they live through this he will have to get used to the idea of staying here a lot longer. Even if he is officially tired of living here now. It was all fun and games with the free food and talking animals and modern appliances until he was summoned in the middle of the night to start... killing people.]
