Hah, not the ones we were discussing. But. Gender and dysphoria and all that is lower on the list of 'what the fuck is going on with my identity' than 'am I even real at all?'

[thelatechrisfreeman]

Apparently the world I'm familiar with is fictional in other worlds. The one that First Aid is from, for sure. But I'm still real. So, it's a question of perspective sometimes, realness.

[graveling]

Wait. Fictional, really? That’s got to be a mindfuck.

[But that fact is tucked in a back pocket to chew on later.]

[thelatechrisfreeman]

If you've ever seen a Batman movie, don't tell me about it. I may have to work with the man someday.

[graveling]

Is there anyone here who is fictional within your world?

[thelatechrisfreeman]

[Chris giggles.] The Pokemon.

[graveling]

Pokemon?

[Angel tilts his head slightly to one side, because he can guess, but he wants context.]

[thelatechrisfreeman]

The ghosts in the forest. They're Pokemon -- it's a big franchise that started out as a collectible card game. Ghosts are one type of creature, and there's others... fire, water, grass, electric... [Chris waves a hand,] and so on.

I played one of the video games as a kid, never thought I'd have a pair of Pokemon of my own.

[graveling]

Collectible...card game.

Wait, like fucking Pikachu?

[He didn't get deep enough to learn more than that one and maybe, like, Charizard.]

[thelatechrisfreeman]

Yes, like Pikachu. Though you wouldn't see one of those in Lockwood Forest.

[graveling]

[Angel sits with that thought for a moment, going quiet and still in that way he does for a few seconds.]

The Shady Merchant. He's also got items that aren't from here, in his shop.

[thelatechrisfreeman]

Hm. True.

I should probably let him know not to bring anything to do with the Anti-Life Equation into this world. Last thing we need are New Gods stomping around on the island.

[graveling]

Is he bringing things in by choice, or just finding things? And Mortanne--she's bringing us from our worlds, and your world is fictional from one point of view. There's...

[He sort of loosely gestures in front of him as if there's a corkboard covered in red string here.]

[thelatechrisfreeman]

Well, bringing, finding... whichever it is, he just needs a note: "Anti-Life Equation. Throw directly back into the ocean."

[Chris mimes pitching something overhand to throw it away.]

[graveling]

Are you going to give him that note?

[thelatechrisfreeman]

Of course I am. I just said I would.

You really do not want the New Gods up in your business. Ever.

[graveling]

I've already got Mortanne and the Shade up in my business, so...

[But his tone is something of a fond one--for both the parties he mentioned.]

[thelatechrisfreeman]

Is he being a dad at you, too?

[graveling]

Both him and Erik. All three of them are also on the list above.

[thelatechrisfreeman]

....Angel.

Did you meet Mortanne and have 'Because I could not stop for Death' playing in your head to the tune of Yankee Doodle?

[graveling]

She met me in a carriage in my dreams. Don't tell me you wouldn't have had the same damned problem!

[thelatechrisfreeman]

[Chris starts giggling.] I cannot tell you that. But it's still funny!

[graveling]

Will it still be funny when you meet her someday and it's stuck in your head?

[thelatechrisfreeman]

[Chris makes a face.] Angel, you're mean.

[It's said lightly, in the tone of one sibling teasing another.]

I probably will have to meet her someday, and you've ensured that will be in my head, too.

[graveling]

Mean? Me? I am a perfect angel.

Do you want to know how I met her? In case you ever need to do the same.
