"You realize you're not going anywhere." (The necklaces are; they go back where they came from.)

Meeting ends. Where are you keeping her -

Bounce.

"Oh, I should've gotten her name for you - what's your name -"

"Tireh."

"I'm Maitimo. This was going to be my lunch break, can I offer you a sandwich?"

Permalink

"I've eaten, thanks."

Permalink

"Where were the necklaces going?"

Permalink

"Mortal people."

"That's where we send them. I'm sorry there aren't enough for everyone in the whole multiverse yet. How'd you get an interdimensional teleport?"

Permalink

"I didn't steal it, if that's what you're asking."

Permalink

"If I'd said 'did you steal it' then I'd have been asking that. Where'd you get it?"

Permalink

"I forget," she says.

Permalink

"It seems like you have more reasons to be in a hurry here than I do, and we're not going to let you go until we have a pretty thorough understanding of what's going on. Are you delaying on purpose, or are you just annoyed with us?"

"I figure 'slightly annoying' probably tells me what my incentives look like without getting me killed."

Permalink

"I want to figure out how your magic can be used to accomplish things like making and distributing those necklaces faster. We sell them, in Edda, and I'd ordinarily be happy to trade for them but not at a significant informational disadvantage with someone whose first resort was to steal them."

Permalink

"Well, you weren't offering them for sale where I was. We haven't invented currency, is that the problem?"

Permalink

"Where're you from? My home world hadn't figured out currency either. We're still not very good at it - thus the necklaces just sitting there, I'm going to have to order some proper security now -"

Permalink

"I don't know what you call the world."

Permalink

"If it's next to the world you were in when Loki brought you back here, it's not one we've discovered."

Permalink

"You discovered it, it has those metal things."
