Morty knows he shouldn't be screwing around with multidimensional shit. It's dangerous, it's impractical, it's blah blah blah. But it's a potential key to unlimited energy, how does nobody see that? He's built a dimensional siphon (it kind of looks like a cardboard box with a funnel and a TI-84 taped to it, but it damn well works), keyed in the dimensional coordinates to a random plane, and by God he's going to use it.
He flips the switch and waits for the energy bar to fill up.
It does! It fills up very rapidly. Then it explodes, along with the box. There's rather more smoke than there should be, and once the smoke clears someone is standing there.
"Oh dear," Morty says faintly.
"...Gay. Interesting. That is- interesting. I am somewhat gay myself. Interestingly enough."
"...Is this more alternate universe year 2015 slang, because earlier today you claimed to be gay for a male teacher, and also I was not aware that gay came in 'somewhat' but perhaps I am not an expert being merely completely gay?"
"Bi. I'm bisexual. Sorry, it's- I say things weirdly. It's a thing. I'm bi. And you're pretty."
"...I apologize for being distracted by your phrasing while you were trying to hit on me. You are also pretty."
"Eh, it's cool. My hitting on people is adaptive. And... thank you. Do you want to kiss or something? We are in a very nice secluded clearing."
"I might require dates before kissing. I haven't given it much thought because I have not historically dated. Or kissed."
"Oh, sure, dates are fine! I love dates. Plus you can teleport and stuff, so we're not limited to the bounties of Dunwich. Do you want to go on a date sometime?"
Ariel is pretty much always smiling, but she's smiling even more now. A date! With Bella! Excellent!
"I have a favorite Italian café, but it may not exist here and if it does the owner will probably not give me free desserts for my evac credentials, so you may need to help me a little with picking where to go. I suppose we could go hiking in the Adirondacks or something if nothing else."
"Classroom probably works best. That's in 513 Kirby, for the Familiars course. Which looks like it's going to be fun, even if Grimes is teaching."
"I'm probably just gonna fly around the forest for a while, actually. There hasn't been a green flag day in a while, I feel like being conspicuously superpowered while I'm allowed."
"Nobody explained the flags? There's some days where there's people around who need to not know that Whateley's not just a snooty prep school, delivery folks and stuff, so those are red flag days, no visible power use outside at all. Then there's amber flag days, where it's less absolutely vital but you should still be careful what you're doing. Green is 'nobody's around, fuck it'. It's been amber and red for almost a week, they've been putting on a real show of normal for somebody or other. So I couldn't fly. And now I want to fly."
