"Hello," says Prime.
Flicker flicker flicker flicker flicker. Now they are all four in the backyard.
"That's convenient. Thank you. Where am I putting the portal?"
He's addressing Flicker and Conduit.
"It has gods in it. Maybe we should install one of them here, they also do terraforming, but we'd have to ask how good they are at ash in the sky."
Quite anticlimactically, he pokes the wall, and says in a deadpan, "Boop."
There is now a portal. It's not like Conduit's - it sort of shimmers and the surface of it looks like water instead of air.
"You'll need the microchips to pass through it. Otherwise, it will be like walking into a wall."
"Any reason I shouldn't chip you in the thighs as is standard? Also, I can anesthetize, the chips are little but not quite little enough that you can't feel them starting to exist, but if being a twin here has weird effects..."
"I think we're fine for standard chipping, and yes please on the anaesthesia."
"Poof," Cam flicks his fingers at Flicker, "and poof." Conduit. "Want to get your Charlie so I can demo the making-stuff-exist thing and confirm the remodeling?"
"Apparently," says Prime dryly, "I need to lighten up. Have some fun. I'm working on it."
"Yes. No one but Cypress would believe it either, they needed a god to confirm. I'm the sardonic one."
"He or Cypress will also do translation spells for you but that can wait until they've restocked on mana. It, unlike Prime's capacity for sarcasm, is not infinite."
"Alas. If only we could transmute sarcasm into other things. We would be unstoppable, with me as your source of power."
