[It'd be funny though! But Dyshana was definitely a shard of the lord of night, Chaos. So it definitely took a god where she came from.]

Ahhhh, so your arrival is more ... happenstance? Or another's doing?

[variantcover]

Well... no. I was sort of stalling out in my home universe. I'd dropped out of school and couldn't get a job. I was just living at my parents' house playing video games and reading comic books.

Then I started thinking, how life would be so much cooler if I was in the comic book universe, instead!

So my brother and I figured it out-- well, it was Teddy mostly, but the two of us, we traveled between the universes and wound up in the comic book universe! And I've been a superhero ever since.

[onerthes]

I...

[That was officially as crazy as Wade, dear. She was completely without words for a moment.]

No magic... no powers... you just decided to leave your world, put on a suit and go somewhere else?

[variantcover]

Uhhh.... Yeah, that's basically it. I didn't put on the suit until I got to the new universe, but otherwise that about sums it up!

[onerthes]

[...She didn't believe, and was quite certain someone had unknown powers somewhere that explained it, but for themoment? Best to let it lay.]

So, did you choose to come here, or get dragged like the rest?

[variantcover]

Oh, yeah, no. I did not come here by choice.

[ Her tone of voice implies that anyone who WOULD come to Deerington by choice is whacked in the head. ]

[onerthes]

I rather thought not. It just seemed a moment to ask if you had some easy way to just leave this place. You never knew.

[variantcover]

Believe me, if I knew how to get out of this town I'd be long gone by now.

[ A pause, as she considers how selfish that is to say. ]

And I'd have taken everyone else with me.

[onerthes]

Well, I don't think everyone likes where they're from... so perhaps we fix this place and find a way to have you all home? Everyone wins then, in the end.

it woudn't be such a bad town if it wasn't filled with monsters and horrors.

[variantcover]

Yeahhhh, but the monsters and horrors kind of overshadow all the nice parts. You have to admit.

[onerthes]

Mmm, yeah. I can't really argue with that. Still, I know at least one who'd call this place an improvement most days, so I can't speak for everyone.

[variantcover]

Wow. Their universe must really whomp if they like Nightmare Maine better.

[onerthes]

I try not to ask her too much. I do think something horrible is wrong with it, though, that they don't like to share too much.

[variantcover]

You're a better friend than I am. I'd be pestering them for details all over the place.

[onerthes]

Mmm, I've learned that it's not too smart to press her for info like that, so I won't tell you who it is for your own sake.

[Chloe'd kick your ass, Gwen.]

[variantcover]

[ Joke's on you, they've already talked. ]

Fair enough. Keep that air of mystery about you.

[onerthes]

[Hah, well he was used to Chloe overreacting at times, so better safe than sorry.]

I do so love it, don't I? But I think that's enough of that. We can chat again later.

[variantcover]

Yeah. You got it. See ya 'round, Purple!
