[Pre-Game Tuesday 10th - MM] Frankie Friday on a Tuesday

[Frankie Reynes]

"No, but I'm used to things not making sense... if that *that* makes sense?"

She seemed to think about it for a second, then looked at fake Frankie for a moment.

"Wait, how do you know it isn't your fault after all? I mean, you know how our powers are really weird, right? Like, we can just... make weird stuff happen? And I dunno, pull out hairdryers out of nowhere and other stuff. What if YOU pulled me out of my universe? You have the same powers as me, don't you?"

She shrugged again and turned to the guy. "Because I definitely wasn't planning on punching my way into this one."

[Ultimate Frankie]

She makes a sheepish look and said, "Because... because I don't have any... actual powers, yeah... please don't tell anyone this place is brilliant!"

"Not this place, but like you know, right?"

[Frankie Reynes]

"Whaaaa?" She looked surprised at this sudden but inevitable revelation, looking between fake Frankie and the guy, hoping he would pick up the thread from there with an explanation that might actually start to make some sense. Faint hope, there, she knew.

"Okay..." she held up her hands after a few seconds of staring, "...you got me. I guess it definitely is my fault then."

[Dapper Dog]

Xaos said, “Maybe but if so then maybe you are really powerful, it looks like there have been several breaches. But I don’t know, I am just guessing by looking at the state of your reality. So let me explain something typically travel between worlds is no big deal, reality is resilient and closes the tear, like if you get a cut, humans can heal from cuts right? Your blood clots, or you build new skin? Whatever.”

“Same thing for reality, but a breach is more severe and remains a permanent hole that in time can grow larger and if the breach is severe enough it creates a thing, where both realities begin to meld together. It’s pretty neat, watching two realities annihilate each other,” he finished.

[Ultimate Frankie]

Frankie nodded and said, "I have no idea, but I think I get it, yeah. So fake Frankie is blowing up my universe."

[Frankie Reynes]

"I mean, I like the sound of me being powerful, but I'd rather not get annihilated, or *do* any annihilating, for that matter. So, can you like, fix it or something? Also, I don't understand... how can there be more than one breach? I mean, I showed up here... so that's... one breach, right? Unless grabbing that hairdryer was a breach too. Or that umbrella. You know, I always did wonder where I get all that stuff from... they're definitely not from my world, so I'm guessing I've been grabbing them from what... other universes? Please tell me that's not going to be a problem, I like having all that free stuff on hand when I need it."

"What do we do to fix this?"

[Dapper Dog]

“Oh no, you grabbing stuff is fine, so maybe you are responsible for one of the breaches and probably a smaller one,” the entity responded.

“Wait, fix this? Why?”

[Frankie Reynes]

"What do you *mean* why? We don't want the universe to blow up!"

Frankie looked at other Frankie, as if checking for confirmation.

"Right? We don't want that, right?"

[Ultimate Frankie]

"Well no, I like being alive, please... save us from fake Frankie!" she added.

[Dapper Dog]

Xaos said, “Realities die all the time, but if you want to save it, maybe track down who is messing with the breaches. I mean you are culprit number one but you are not solely responsible and no powers Frankie is definitely not at fault.”

“But I mean you got time, maybe six months… how long are your months? Do you understand the concept of six? Could be just over four billion years. I never studied math as a concept, so who knows.”

[Frankie Reynes]

"One, two, three, four, five, six..." she counted using her fingers, "...see? I get it. Four billion is going to be a bit of an issue. Wait, so... if there's someone else involved... could that be *another* Frankie? And, either way, could we get a hint about how to track 'em down, then? Hey, you said something about me having a glow... five dimensions or something... there wouldn't happen to be a convenient item like dimension glow goggles that I can just grab from somewhere that'd work, right?"

Just to try it, she reached out and tried to do just that. Would it even work in this weird mental or actual space they were in? Let alone get her what she wanted? Probably not. That'd probably be too easy. But she would still try it.

[Dapper Dog]

The Acme brand fifth Dimensional goggles materialize and she can in fact see herself glow in the fifth dimension which is beyond the construction of simple human language. The entity in front of her is now a five dimensional, thirty thousand meter tall fire squid that glows like a billion suns with tentacles reaching beyond the edges of reality.

Frankie has her own glow distinct from the Frankie now wearing the goggles.

It’s a little jarring.

Xaos continued, “Technically I am not supposed to be involved but technically in this place you are neither here or there, so not in your reality but a different reality… technically. Internal mindscape. I want to make it clear I have no vested interest in your success or failure.”

“Eric Gibson.”

Then reality flashes back to the room.

[Kim Jun-Min]

Jun-Min places her hand to her nose to wipe away the blood and said, "Ouch... is everyone okay?"

[Ultimate Frankie]

"I promise to never do any more drugs, yeah," Frankie muttered. She then turned to fake Frankie and asked, "Who or what is Eric Gibson?"

[Frankie Reynes]

"...."

She just stood there frozen for a while, trying to process what the goggles were showing her. But nope, that wasn't happening. Instead, maybe this was one of those elder god type scenarios where she'd just lost what little sanity she'd left just by catching a glimpse of something she shouldn't see.

But nah, bruv, she wasn't crazy. Right?

She blinked profusely, looking down at the goggles in her hand, committing the branding and name to memory; there was a very good chance she'd end up letting go of them and letting them disappear, and it'd be good to know she could get them back if she did.

"...ah knackers, I don't know?" She replied.

[Kim Jun-Min]

"Apologies, that usually does not happen, are you both okay?" she asked.

"I mean it has never happened."

[Frankie Reynes]

"Yeah uh," she turned to miss Kim, "Uuuh... did you, see, or hear, all of that?"

[Kim Jun-Min]

"No, it's... a black haze," she admitted.

[Ultimate Frankie]

Frankie then added, "Yeah me too... just weird stuff. Right Frankie?"

[Frankie Reynes]

She looked at Frankie, knowing what she was getting at. Or at least *thinking* she knew.

"...riiight... I mean, real weird and important stuff for sure. Like, stuff we definitely have to look into. That name. The rest is... not that important."
