Maybe intentionally trying to mess with interdimensional portals was a bad idea, Akira thought just before she was pulled in. Well, at least she wasn't bored anymore.
Akira mixes things up in Limbo
She'll slow down to maybe half her top speed once things get a bit thicker. Half the fun of doing silly things is to see people's reactions.
People do look at her and her giant rabbit as she bounds past, sticking their heads out of their mud huts and dropping down from trees to get a better view.
She'll slow even further down to make it fun, keeping just a little out of reach and having the rabbit jump a bit more erratically.
She'll give it a good half hour. It's more fun than most of what she's been doing here. Then she'll pretend the rabbit is getting tired and let them catch her. The rabbit is not harmed or even apparently bothered by the dog's teeth.
The dog and the runner catch up. "Where'd you get that! It's huge! Is there a mortal industry of giant rabbits now?"
"I made it, I'm from another place that isn't any of the afterlives or wherever people start off before they die and I'm wandering around finding ways to make Limbo less boring."
"I intentionally destabilized a form of interworld travel because I was bored. It didn't quite have the results I was hoping for but I'm satisfied with the outcome."
"Well, mostly the portals drew in monsters of various sorts. I was hoping to get new monsters to fight."
"It depends, it's mostly fun when you balance things so that there's a surmountable challenge. If I had gotten new types of monsters the goal would have been to figure out how strong they are and see if I can make them appear consistently. Then it could be part of the challenge me and my siblings run back home."
"Huh. I guess it could be fun to try fighting a ton of monsters and see how it went, though I haven't been indestructible that long so it's a weird idea."
"Yeah, being able to try again when you mess up makes things a lot more fun than if a mistake means you die and never get to try again."
"No kidding." He scratches his dog behind the ears. "Thanks for the chase. We like running and there's so little to run to, you know?"
"Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I had fun too. I would offer you a rabbit like this but I don't think it would be what you want. It looks like a rabbit but it's closer to being a fancy bike. It won't actually move on it's own."
"I thought so. Is there anything else you're wishing for? I have a weird medley of abilities so it's possible there is something I could do that you would enjoy."
"I actually have some things in all of those categories... well I don't really have electricity. But I have lights and conveyer belts that work without it."
