3/5 probably sometime at night

[matchbreaker]

Hey, if he was from space, does that mean there were aliens there?

[lostapprentice]

there were. most of the people i've seen so far were human, but there were aliens. though i guess even if they looked human, they could have been aliens as well.

why?

[matchbreaker]

Honestly, it's a curiosity but ... Well, more to the point I was thinking:

Can those different species reproduce together?

[lostapprentice]

that's a good question. the aliens i saw were humanoid, so i'd think it would be possible?

[Sadly, uh, reproduction wasn't exactly on his past self's list of priorities.]

i don't know for sure, though.

[matchbreaker]

Is it? I mean, on this planet, even closely related species usually can't reproduce. But then in fantasy novels you end up hearing about half-elves and such?

[lostapprentice]

that's what makes me unsure. so many of our memories have ended up seeming more like fiction than reality, i hesitate to apply real logic to them. if someone can stop a shot from a laser gun with their mind, who's to say aliens can't reproduce?

[matchbreaker]

How the hell do you stop a laser gun with your mind?

[lostapprentice]

i have no idea, but he did it. he froze it with whatever magic he used to do everything else, i guess.

[matchbreaker]

But if its a laser its light, right? Even if its some sort of hard light to actually hurt anything that has to be impossibly fast?

[lostapprentice]

again, that's real logic. i don't think magic tends to follow those kinds of rules.

i did get the feeling it wasn't something that just anyone could do, though.

[matchbreaker]

Well excuse me for following the laws of physics.

Or well, trying to, I guess I've got erasing memories and bat tornadoes over here.

[lostapprentice]

see?

though now you're going to have to explain the bat tornado. is it exactly what it sounds like, or...?

[matchbreaker]

Everyone always asks me about that.

It's a tornado of bats, I really don't know what to say.

[lostapprentice]

yes, but how does it happen? do you summon bats out of thin air, do you have to have them around?

[Look, it might be magic, but he wants to know all the details behind how it works.]

[matchbreaker]

Oh I'm pretty sure bats need to be around for that?

[lostapprentice]

so you just happened to find a flock of bats at the right time to discover this new power?

[matchbreaker]

to be fair I think it was a fight between vampires, so that would happen.

[lostapprentice]

so do you actually have this power now or are you just referring to the memory of it?

[It's a little disappointing if it's the latter.]

[matchbreaker]

Well I can issue orders to bats? But I'm not sure how to practically make a tornado?

[lostapprentice]

now i'm just picturing a fairy tale vampire princess with bats instead of woodland creatures.

[matchbreaker]

Should've seen my in Magatus, then.

[lostapprentice]

was there singing involved?

[matchbreaker]

No, but I did share a cave with two pretty younger women and a wolf.

[lostapprentice]

i'm tempted to make a joke about dances with wolves. i did hear things turned out more favorably with them than anticipated.

[Although admittedly his source was... very confusing.]

[matchbreaker]

It is, actually! In the end, the whole thing was the result of some magical rabies, was how Zee called it. But really it's basically some dark energy possessing one powerful magic wolf which can split into a bunch of other wolves.
