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
"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."
"...wicked. I'm more excited about food but it'd be nice not to be fumbling around in pitch dark every night. Do you have, like, bags, Hal here can carry some stuff for me if you can get him panniers."
"That's as good a place to start as any." Suddenly she's holding a purple star speckled sack about the size of a briefcase with a slight glow coming from the mouth. "Here, you should be able to put a lot into this. It'll preserve whatever's in there and you should be able to pull out what you want to pull out." She holds it out.
Even if he sticks his arm in up to the shoulder he can't feel the bottom it's like reaching into thin but warm air.
"The bag and the empty space you're feeling are both part of the interface to a piece of magic. If you want to pull something out, it'll be floating waiting for you to do so. If not, then it'll be empty like you're feeling now. It's also locked to the person. If I put something in you couldn't take it out and vice versa. If you forget what's in it you can have it give you everything that you stored in it one thing at a time."
"I have different magic for the same purpose. Also, I can make more bags like that and they're all connected."
"Yep, there's no way to steal things. Where I come from having it work like that makes it harder to steal things actually since you can't hold a bag hostage to keep stuff from someone."
