No, I haven't done the reading yet. Not much of a reader, but I'll get on that soon. I promise.

Aside from all that, hi, I'm Helix. Do I know any of you?

Also, cookies aren't really on my diet, but who can say no to the best chocolate chip I've ever had?

[makeanentrance]

Used to be. Not any more.

I'm trying to take a better path.

[covert_ops]

Gotta be difficult. Those better paths aren't the easiest things to follow.

[makeanentrance]

You got that right.

They all attacked me just before I found myself here.

It's hard when you're being attacked by both the good guys and the bad guys and you're all on your own.

[covert_ops]

That does suck. Does being away from it make it any easier?

[makeanentrance]

I'm not really away. It's just different.

There's some here that I know but they don't know me as they seem to come from other universes.

It's complicated. Do you know about the multiverse?

[covert_ops]

I do now. Other universes? Sounds like a ton of fun. That's sarcasm, by the way.

[makeanentrance]

There can be good points and bad points.

[covert_ops]

Tell me the good ones.

[makeanentrance]

It depends. You just have to see where the advantages are and take them when you can.

[covert_ops]

That sounds like an answer I'd give. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

[makeanentrance]

You see, it depends upon the world.

Here? I'm not sure yet.

[covert_ops]

How long have you been here?

[makeanentrance]

Not very long. A few weeks.

[covert_ops]

How are the rest of the locals? Any trouble so far?

[makeanentrance]

There was some trouble with some Unseen forces but that seems to be over now. Things are changing. The world itself seems to move from one place to another.

[covert_ops]

Fantastic. So much for stability.

[makeanentrance]

You want stability?

[covert_ops]

You got me. I don't. Instability is my stability.

But for other people, it can be a good thing.

[makeanentrance]

It would be nice to have some peace one day.

[covert_ops]

I'd agree but I don't think I can live in peace. Hectic is my normal.

[makeanentrance]

So you thrive on chaos?

[covert_ops]

I wouldn't go so far as to say chaos. More like uncertainty.

[makeanentrance]

So you like a mystery.

[covert_ops]

I am a mystery.

[makeanentrance]

Is that a challenge?
