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?"

Permalink

"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."

Permalink

"New kind of concordance?"

Permalink

"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."

Permalink

"Wow. What were you hoping for?"

Permalink

"Well, mostly the portals drew in monsters of various sorts. I was hoping to get new monsters to fight."

Permalink

"Is fighting monsters... fun?"

Permalink

"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."

Permalink

"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."

Permalink

"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."

Permalink

"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?"

Permalink

"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."

Permalink

"...yeah, that's a pretty cool concept but not for me specifically."

Permalink

"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."

Permalink

"Do you have... shoes. Magic wands. Plants. Electricity. Food."

Permalink

"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."

Permalink

"Like they're battery powered?"

Permalink

"No, they just stay on forever without needing power."

Permalink

"...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."

Permalink

"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.

Permalink

"Wow. Kind of girly color but I guess beggars can't." He takes it. Feels around inside.

Permalink

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.

Permalink

"Whoaaaaa. How will I get something out again if it's bottomless?"

Permalink

"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."
