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?

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?

[covert_ops]

It's just the way it is. It can also be a challenge, if you want.

[makeanentrance]

I'm not in the mood.

I'd rather make a mystery than solve one.

[covert_ops]

Do you do that a lot, make mysteries?

[makeanentrance]

Of a sort.

But not presently.
