[ actually yeah, she did say something. ]

You're sitting on my stuff.

[ it's just bad luck that archer happened to take his seat on the couch where korra had left her pack while she went to grab a thing or two to eat, but now that she's back it's a little Not Cool for her to find this guy sprawled out with his leg over part of the bag.

she's also taken into account just how intently he seemed to be watching the crowd. what's up with that? what a weirdo... ]

Could you move?

[counterfeight]

[ There's a couple other servants here, he can Feel It, so you'll have to excuse him for not paying attention to what he was sitting on. Or maybe he just didn't care.

But he finally tears his eyes off the crowd, and focuses properly on Korra — albeit briefly — before he shifts, and wordlessly fishes the bag out from under his leg to hold out to her instead. Despite being plenty heavy with camping gear, he holds it out to her with two fingers just hooked under a strap, arm not even quivery from the effort. D rank strength is still better than human strength, I guess. ]

[universed]

[ strong people don't surprise her anymore, and this guy looks ripped to heck, so she's not surprised that he can lift her pack so easily. she reaches out and takes her pack by one of the handles, shrugging it on. ]

Thanks. [ ... okay, a lot of things about her might have changed, but her natural curiosity will never leave. ] Are you looking for someone?

[counterfeight]

[ We're going to form the Strong Arms Team, Korra.

Is he looking for someone, though? He'd know if Hakuno were here, and if she were, he'd have wasted no time going to her side, but... who is he looking for? ]

Not particularly.

[universed]

[ we'll wear tank tops in the dead of winter and arm wrestle for money. ]

So you're just people watching?

[ that sounds boring. ]

[counterfeight]

[ Oh yeah. B) ]

We've been summoned without call and you think it's odd to want to observe before doing anything else?

[ he is boring. ]

[universed]

[ oh.

no that actually makes sense, though yeah, totally boring. ]

...You're right. I've been here before, so it's sort of like my second home.

[counterfeight]

... Before?

[ In his experience the only way to get out of being summoned is to die, and there's something about this girl that reminds him of a Spirit, but he... just can't put his finger on it. ]

[universed]

[ her head bobs in a nod. ]

Yeah. I don't remember leaving, I just remember everything that happened to me when I got back.

[counterfeight]

And time passed between your return and this summoning?

[ He tips his head to the side in curiosity. ]

[universed]

[ again she nods ]

About three months.

[ here.

don't ask how long it was back home. ]

[counterfeight]

[ Well isn't that weird. ]

Hm.

[universed]

... What?

[counterfeight]

-- What?

[ He was thinking! ]

[universed]

What are you "hm"ing for?

[ it takes two people to be in a conversation. unless you're talking to yourself, and then it's just weird. ]

[counterfeight]

[ Haven't you seen the Fate/ anime? It's almost nothing BUT another version of you talking to yourself. ]

It's odd. Summoning the same person to the same timeline, twice? For all intents and purposes, you should be in a separate one from your original summon, or at least an offshoot of it.

[ Timelines are fucking hard. ]

[universed]

[ ... what. ]

What?

[ what. ]

[counterfeight]

What?

[ Ok now he's just doing it to be contrary. ]

1/2

[universed]

[ she doesn't have time for this ostrich-horse crap. ]

[universed]

I don't think it works that way.

[ at least, it doesn't sound like it does? but who knows, this whole world went back in time to fix what went wrong, so... ??? ]

[counterfeight]

[ But that is exactly how it works, though. Or at least, part of it should have. ]

Normally, I'd disagree with you. But I did say it was strange — humans aren't capable of doing True Magic like that, on a scale such as this, [ he nods out at the greater congregation of shardbearers, ] Which means...

[ He trails off, looking thoughtful again. This isn't some sort of omnipotent power like the Counter Force, he's fairly sure, but with all the fairies, and the oversaturation of magic in the air around them... perhaps it is closer to the Age of Gods than anything else? ]

[universed]

[ by no means is korra stupid, but this is a realm of sciences that her world still hasn't evolved to, mainly because of the presence of spirits and bending. however, she can pick up on where archer's going with this, and she lifts an eyebrow. ]

Humans didn't do this, the Gem did. They call it the "heart of all worlds," where every universe begins.
