    Ah, but there is only water on one side in my example, so the membrane could point that direction. I wonder if it would osmosis…

    Not necessarily; say it’s made from a single sheet of phospholipids. You touching it would probably destroy it, though.

    Cole saws the man’s head off, trying to beat Aela to it.

    *poof!* I am here to complicate this question further! If I have a one molecule thick membrane, which has no water on the side you’re touching, but a lot of water on the other, is the membrane wet?

    Cole swings his saw at the man, accomplishing nothing. So he catches the man’s arm, and holds it still so he can actually use the saw. (I will not describe that further, partially because I have no idea what a saw would do to human flesh.)

    “Interesting… there were people from where we were last; a man in armor said something about Kibirium keeping him alive. I have encountered several so-called magical crystals thus far, but I suspect that different universes have different rules. They each seem to possess one fundamental change in physics, typically resulting in something that could be described as magic, and are in different time periods, technology wise.” The One uses his magic, suspending Nick in the air. “Whoa. You can do this casually? Imagine what you’d be capable of if you tried your hardest… If you attempt to help us, I believe I have some secrets that could be of use to you, assuming the fundamental laws of physics are the same here as where I come from. The raw energy that powers our teleportation coalesces around us when we are about to do so. It is a bright yellow, and seems incredibly energy dense.”

    “Huh. I was just in the basement. Are there several?” Veer goes off to find some stairs down. @Calamity_Engine @SpiritOfWrath

    @The Aspiring Archivist @Spark of Hope A man holding two guns in one hand, trailed by two (maybe three) other people walks past in the hall. “Do any of you know where containment cells are?” he asks, still walking.

    @Calamity_Engine Veer leads the two through the clinic, searching for anyone who can get them locked up before anything bad happens. He’s breathing heavily simply from the walking, and the rash on his shoulder has become dimmer, greyscale reflections rather than prismatic colors.

    Cole jumps, stumbles, and flies backwards. He has no true idea of how to fight, but his higher reach with the tent pole is counteracting that.

    “Interesting… so it reassembles itself? I suppose it doesn’t matter; physics is crying in a corner right now, I expect. I and my assistant SIMON will take the oath. I will attempt to fully remove this from my memory - is there any information I may keep?” Nick sighs. “That would be the machine, I expect. There is a man who created a device that pulls people between universes for his own amusement; our group is the result. Is there anything you can do or tell us? Anything about raw power or how to channel it?”

    Cole jumps up and backwards, his coat inflating like a sail. He swings a tent pole, aiming for the head.

    Veer pulls himself together. “My homeland does not have stories of werewolves, whatever they are. But my powers were manipulated somehow; made wild. I gained capabilities I shouldn’t possess and used them on people and objects merely by noticing them. The surge subsided, but it’s coming back, I think. If you don’t come quietly, I think I could tear you and potentially the Clinic apart.” @Calamity_Engine

    “No one leaves? Are you powerful enough to block the machine? Why do you keep people here, anyway? And how would you survive the falls - would we? And the island, for that matter; it’s breaking apart.” Nick appears to have forgotten the gravity of the situation. (Literal gravity, in this case.)

    “If you allow me to leave before we land, I would be honored.”

    “Well, first you need to completely and utterly outmatch the people; being able to turn their weapons against them qualifies. Next, you need an ulterior motive for leaving your opponents alive, and finally, you need to lack the ability to actually kill your opponents in an efficient manner unless they attack you first. Usually, I have a sling and sharpened darts in order to attack. And anyway, I need these two alive so I can find and kill their leader. After all, there’s nothing they could do to stop me…” Suddenly, he convulses, then stops, breathing heavily. “Oh no. We need to get these people imprisoned fast. Then I need somewhere to go where I won’t hurt anyone.” @SpiritOfWrath

    “I don’t have sharp fingernails, though. So you’re wrong, although I don’t know why I thought a hallucination should make sense.” Cole holds his tent pole and saw in a terrible attempt at a fighting stance. He screeches back, much less intimidatingly. His clothes billow and flap dramatically in the magical wind.

    “I know that! But Glinte does, and you can teleport anywhere rather than just shadows. The only shadow down there is from the island, so Glinte can get us down, and you can teleport us to solid ground, so nobody drowns or has a floating island land on their head!”

    Cole has been feeling strong for a while; of course, he thinks it’s merely that adjusting the tent so it didn’t drag on the ground made moving in general more comfortable. Still, the screech and surge of strength get his attention, and he pulls out the best weapons available to him: a carpentry saw and a tent pole with fabric still attached. “It’s a tree! Pine, to be exact; not particularly good for building most things.” Then, realizing everyone else heard the screech and it wasn’t simply burnt man messing with him, he amends his statement. “Actually, I think the startling thing might be an angry hawk-bear, or something similarly strange.”

    Nick swears repeatedly in a language that seems to require rolling several different consonants. “Glinte, Tenth! Work together to momentum cancel then teleport people to safety! OWEN, what are you doing? Use the stretcher the way it was actually designed and glide Kaleb to safety! Save me last; I think I have the best chance of surviving the drop, or perhaps Sleeper does. SIMON, see how much shock absorption you can get set up in the next thirty seconds!”

    “True, perhaps this will draw more bandits. But it will discourage weaker groups, which may be for the better; continental attacks would wear us down.” Alvar searches the bodies of the bandits for anything potentially useful or redeemable for bounty. “Why should we make camp? I don’t know much about horses, but if they could continue on we’d make better time if we went on through the night.”
  23. Through the Living Heir
    “Ok, then.” Cole follows behind the group, trying to arrange his tent correctly.
  24. Through the Living Heir
    “Ok. Do I really need to stick with those three? I can do this on my own.”

    “That’s probably not good… the xenosuit might heal that over time - I wish I had access to actual medical knowledge. Maybe the hideout will have a computer I can access.” Assuming OWEN speaks to Nick as well, he continues. “Kaleb is currently lying on my paraglider; the hydrogen in it counts as learning for fly, sort of, and I’m trying to find enough water to make a full-on floating platform. Glinte’s teleportation is momentum canceling, so that can help another couple of people. And yeah, I was hoping the magic light orb could get us some enlightenment. Literally or figuratively. Anyway, I’m rambling; we have stuff to do.” Nick looks around again. “I can go work on the floating platform. If you can’t move yet, you should do the glowy orb negotiation.” He finds a good spot and presses his arms to tree trunks, planning to drain their biomolecules for his own purposes. @J. Magi “Hey Aki, do you have any ideas?”
