...I know it doesn't help much, but for what little it's worth, Fall was very close. We all would have done anything for him. And...for me especially, he was really important, which is why...
[ he doesn't finish the sentence, but he places a hand over his heart, palm covering the part of his chest where the knife had been plunged deepest into his body. ]
It actually kinda helps a lot? [there's a sort of uneasy laugh.] I haven't...um. I haven't actually seen him for about a year. So even if the timelines were different, it's nice to know he had people to take care of him and people that cared about him.
[but they watch hope's hand and just pause for a second.]
...I'm just sorry I couldn't help protect you the way he would've been able to.
Well, I haven't seen him for thirteen, so... I get it.
[ SORTA, but like, soriku is more important than his bro... that last line from gemini gets him to smile sympathetically, and, if they allow, he'll reach out and place his hand on their shoulder. ]
...You can't interfere with the ongoing game. I know. You don't need to apologize for that.
True. I guess you kinda beat me there. [he is allowed to shoulder-pat.]
...regardless. While I'm aware my position as staff means we are to remain as hands off as possible...my position as me still thinks it kinda sucks pretty bad.
[ THIS MATTERS TO NO ONE BUT ME but i mixed shit up hope should have said grav-con units. im a fake fan, a fraud, a fool,,, ]
Grav-con units are examples of AMP technology. AMP stands for Antimatter Manipulation Principle—as people from my world can't normally use magic, we've developed technology to simulate some of its properties. Grav-con units are pretty self-explanatory—they allow their users limited control of gravitational fields.
That's...actually kinda cool? [they sound a little impressed at least.] Really cool, actually. I don't know that many people who can use magic--[just like most of their close friends, it's fine.]--but it's kinda nice that there's another option. So that means there's other kind of AMP stuff too?
[they are not super understanding of all technology, but they understand floating.]
Yes. Most are limited to military use, but there are quite a few types available for civilians. I don't have it with me right now, but my boomerang is an example of AMP tech that was made available to the public—while I can throw it normally, the amplifiers allow me to control its direction midair if necessary.
I think I remember reading about that thing. You bought it when you were at Wiwaldi still, right? I don't think I've ever used a weapon like that before...

Can I ask you something that might be a personal question?

[ raises his hand to his eye level. lowers it to gemini's current height. ]

...oh. [there's suddenly a very tiny breeze around hope and gemini rockets back up to their original height.] Better?
[they may have misunderstood the question.]

No, I mean—why are you doing this at all?

If it wasn't for the wind, I might have guessed you were using technology like graviton cores.
