05 ☣ TEXT & VOICE;

[angermanaging]

Looking to gather some info. Please respond with succinct list of what you would consider unalterable laws of reality in your home dimension, e.g. gravity, conservation of mass, particular laws of magic.

Will attempt to compile results into meaningful commonalities across dimensions. Maybe there's a universal law somewhere.

Would prefer text response if possible. Thanks.

Finally got fed up with everyone talking over my head and made a trade to see my future.

[A beat.

In utter, dry exasperation,] You're all nuts. What kind of teamwork was that?

[ooc: Bruce is now post-Avengers! If you're not sure if you're established CR, ping me and I'll let you know if they're included, but feel free to play fast and loose.]

The largest known Titan is 60 meters. I...haven't seen that one. [That's almost technically true! Kind of.]

They only appeared a little over one hundred years ago, but they have very nearly wiped out all of humanity on multiple occasions. They're a constant threat, and very difficult to kill, so...uh, you could say they're as much a part of reality as humans are.

[Bertolt is starting to regret this a little. Sharing the things that everyone knows is one thing, but there are so many things that he just can't talk about. He doesn't want to have to lie unless he has to.]

[Bruce isn't about to press on anything he doesn't want to talk about. He has no desire to get personal with anyone-- God forbid. He just wants to draw some commonalities across dimensions, see how standard 'standard' really is. The existence of Titans seems by far unique, and that it's such a statistical outlier makes it interesting, but merely as an academic curiosity. That's never enough motivation to drag someone's personal issues out into the light.]

I've seen something bigger than that, but it was-- was alien. [And had been a weird experience in itself, seeing what the Hulk was doing while fighting said aliens.]

I can see why you'd... think of them as rules of the universe, with that kind of effect. Do you know what causes them?

[schwitzen]

[There's a long pause as he considers how to respond, since that would in fact be one of those questions he really does not want to answer.]

...No one within the walls does. The, uh, the walls back where I'm from - that's where most humans live to protect themselves from the Titans.

[angermanaging]

Alright. [He knows an evasion when he hears one.]

What I'm getting at is whether or not they're supernatural, [he clarifies.] That looks to be a lot more common than I'd thought.

[schwitzen]

No. They possess some traits that might appear supernatural, but they are not.

[angermanaging]

Thanks. I'll add it to the list.
