[If you think you have seen Julia pissed before, that is nothing compared to right now. There's an undercurrent of a growl in it and if you're close enough to her cabin you an probably hear it without the benefit of the device filter.]

Why the fuck is there motherfucking goddamn goose shit all over my fucking bed? What the fuck happened?

[Simon was polite enough to lean back before laughing madly. He wasn't going to ask which one because it was better if he just mentally superimposed the one he was sure would be the most guilty of trying to end the world.

Let him have his illusions.]

Oh he definitely deserved it.

[You'll get no judgement here on murdering people trying to end the world.]

[relance]

Yeah she did.

[Sorry Simon different worlds. /small>]

[bilocates]

She? Interesting.

[An almost more progressive world except the president's still trying to end it? Of course.]

What year is it for you?

[He doesn't know about the worlds thing yet, suspects yes, but mostly he knows about the time thing.]

[relance]

2017.

[bilocates]

Same year. Different worlds, or different versions of the same?

[He's asking for clarification. It's outlandish, but then again Simon's accustomed to outlandish. He sees the world a lot different than most do.]

[relance]

There’s like a fuckton of people from earth in different universes. Used to be more even.

[bilocates]

I wonder what's so special about this one that we'd all converge here.

[relance]

Your guess is as good as mine.

[bilocates]

[He doesn't have a good guess right now, so he'll leave it. Needs more information.]

Anyway, the goose. It's been... devoured.

[relance]

Devoured? The fuck does that mean?

[bilocates]

Devoured. Consumed. Eaten.

[He watched it happen... partially it was pretty horrifying.]

[relance]

[Well that doesn't sound good.]

What the fuck on this ship could do that?

[bilocates]

The Elemental.

[Who is, surprisingly, quite delightful.]

[relance]

The who in the what now?

[bilocates]

[Where's Alex when you need her to explain things to people? Or even Strand.]

You could ask him yourself. He's still on the ship.

[relance]

He’s not talking to me. You are.

[bilocates]

Are you familiar with the core elements in various mythology?

[relance]

Depends on the mythology.

[bilocates]

In general.

[relance]

I'm a queer person, of course I know about mythologies.

[bilocates]

...

[There's a long silence, Simon has no idea why people keep bringing this up? This has nothing to do with elementals.]

About Elementals.

[She might be slow. Where's Alex when you need her to translate.]

[relance]

Alright. I don’t know much about them. Fill me in.

[bilocates]

[Alright lecture time. He's not Richard Strand levels of educated on the long and deep history of elementals through all cultures so he'll keep it brief.]

Most cultures have a mythological personification in some form or another of elementals. As gods, as spirits, as demons. Where they differ in name and form they do typically agree that elementals are deeply powerful primordial forces. Pieces of the very fabric of existence. Concentrated aspects of the building blocks of what we understand as reality.

[Keeping up so far?]

[relance]

So like the Dread Powers then?

[bilocates]

Maybe. What are those?
