"I'm not looking for anything right now. Maybe some other time."

"Fair enough."

"Do you mind doing the same sorts of seals, for more people in my world?"

"For Jubilee, at least, certainly. More would depend on how consistent the Exaltations are between people."

"That's fair. It'd also be a big enough deal you could probably get Heaven to compensate you for your time, somehow... Though it doesn't seem like you guys want for much."

She smirks. "We are enlightened."

"An ascetic sage alt of Luc'. Now I've seen everything."

"Welcome to the multiverse."

Laugh. "It's a delightful place."

"So it is."

"I'm enjoying meeting our alts, too..."

"The people are part of the charm."

"I'd say just about all of it."

"That does sound like you."

"I'm pretty sure I'd just disown any asocial me's."

"What about antisocial?"

Fake serious hum. "Depends on her other qualities, I suppose. But she'd be on thin ice."

"There was that one from Elatra's world... Acererak? She was collecting souls or something."

" - Didn't she, like, break the alt code in as many ways as she could?"

"Kind of, yeah."

"Yeah, so, that's completely baffling to me. I can - see the shape of my head that'd produce 'omnicidal megalomaniac,' but I'd have expected that shape of me to pause when she notices alts opposing her and... Negotiate? Rather than deciding also killing her alts sounds like a fun cherry on top."

"Like... Okay so from descriptions of her personality Hisame sounds quite frankly kinda evil and not like someone whose goals I'd support. As far as she has goals that aren't 'alleviate boredom.' Which she might not. But - if she decided it'd be funny to burn down a city, I'd fully expect her to not do that anywhere it'd cause problems for me? And I'd expect her to tolerate me trying to redirect her into less damaging pastimes. And if we somehow throw an alt whose life goal is 'general sapient flourishing,' I expect Hisame would pout but find some other way to entertain herself?"

"And I haven't actually met her, but just from - looking at my own head. And also knowing that as long as she's not fucking over my people I only kinda sorta care what she gets up to in the abstract."

"That sounds, uh, mostly accurate."

"Hisame's weirdly... Unmoored? But, yeah, it's - she still sounds like a me."

After some more small talk, they do need to eventually head back to their own world.

They'll probably be back soon - maybe with Jubilee - but given how short their notice was... They've been gone long enough, now.

(Wyld is definitely going to work on making arrangements for coming back here for longer stretches - maybe throw Jubilee at some of Leia's reluctant allies, maybe meet some other alts, maybe just relax...)

Jubilee's ready fairly soon after their return to leave Creation (and let Naruto and Elieyha stare into her soul long enough to place more solar-specific seals on her). Leia's asked her to come help with logistics coordination and also talk to some people who're skeptical about giving funds to another universe. Jubilee's additionally interested in meeting her alts; Naruto and Luke both seem interesting.
