You know what to do.

Me neither. I just know I'd get stranded somewhere.

[tucky]

Or time would get fucked, like-- you'd be gone for one day, but when you got back you'd find out a whole month passed here. It never happened to me when I was going to Dillon's world every month, but it could have.

[magician_king]

Exactly.

You know my deal's a door? A way to set up portals between universes.

[tucky]

Any world you want, or just a couple of 'em?

[magician_king]

I'm going to ask for the spell that'll let me build my own. There's only a couple I want right now- but I mostly want the control.

[tetractys]

HEY, SOUNDS FUN TO ME, BUT I THINK YOUR BOYFRIEND KINDA HATES ME.

[magician_king]

Yeah, but-

I mean. Is that hard enough on you that you don't want to hang out with me any more, if I come to you?

[tetractys]

IT'S NO PROBLEM FOR ME AT ALL! BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE TO TALK HIM INTO IT, PAL. THAT'S ALL YOU!

[magician_king]

Oh, yeah, no, you shouldn't be! Obviously managing them is definitely my job. I mean I'm just imagining visiting one another in the multiverse, I don't think you should necessarily cross paths with them- but if you do I'll make sure in advance they can both be chill through to civil.

I'm sorry if it's awkward. I love you, man, but you're just not everyone's cup of tea.

[tetractys]

I'M LIKE THIS ON PURPOSE!

[Bill mostly finds anger: hilarious.]

[magician_king]

You know- I could use your advice. I always find conflict really anxiety inducing? Even when I'm really sure I'm right. Never mind actually being provocative on purpose.

How do you-?

[tucky]

Can you do me a favor?

Re: audio

[magician_king]

Probably, yeah, what's up?

[tucky]

Callisto's in a coma-- don't tell anybody, please. I was thinking, maybe you could read out loud to her?

[tucky]

That's pretty cool, Quentin. Maybe you should go visit all the people that you miss, or that you haven't seen. You've been here for, like, five years, right? You've gotta have a lot.

Re: audio

[magician_king]

Oh shit, I'm sorry to hear that.

Uh- why? People can't hear in comas.

[magician_king]

Not as many as you'd think, I'm kind of a wallflower. But yeah- it's closer to six years, now, I'm pretty sure. There are definitely a bunch.

audio

[tucky]

We don't know that for sure. Just because we don't remember it consciously doesn't mean our brains don't pick up on anything.

[tucky]

Which ones do you miss the most?

Re: audio

[magician_king]

Sure we do. Haven't you been in a coma before?

[magician_king]

Rhys. Elijah. Horseriver.

[A faint smile.]

Bill already, Touko, uh- Eliot, kind of Omar, weirdly?

audio

[tucky]

You know all about what your brain hears unconsciously, Quentin?

Re: audio

[magician_king]

I mean I'm happy to do it for a bit, but I hope you're thinking back to that conversation we had about obsessive thinking.

[tucky]

I liked Rhys. Omar, too.

[And, of course, Eliot, though they've already talked about him.]

Well, kind of Omar - we weren't friends or anything; we mostly argued. But he made me think.

audio

[tucky]

Fuck that, I'm not obsessive.
