[...Something about being called mom makes her pause.]

No. You are on BadgerNet. Multiversal social media site. Check welcome message. If you got it.

[temmapathy]

Welcome message? This is supposed to be closed to just my family!

[It takes her a while to find said welcome message, but she eventually does.]

Oh, wow. How are you so sure this is all true, though?

[simplythehero]

Reached me in place between worlds. If not multiversal, would be impossible to reach me there. Maybe you won't believe me. But that is my experience.

[temmapathy]

It's not that I think you're lying, it's just that this whole thing is pretty weird. I thought alternate worlds were just a science fiction thing!

[simplythehero]

Remember thinking that. Before I started my travels. Pulled to many worlds. To be the hero.

[temmapathy]

Like in The Chronicles of Narnia? Do you get to go home in between?

[simplythehero]

Not heard of Narnia. Possible I forgot. Been a long time. Stopped counting at millennium. Never returned to home. Don't even remember much about it.

[temmapathy]

Wow, how did you live that long? And...does that mean you don't miss it? [That feels kinda sad.]

[simplythehero]

Blessing of longevity. Don't remember how got it. Probably reward from a god. My home... I missed it, I think. Now used to this.

[temmapathy]

I don't think you should be, though? You need to take breaks sometimes or you'll burn out! My dad works really hard, but he always comes home every night to rest.

[simplythehero]

Burned out at times. Not any more. Rest unnecessary now.

[temmapathy]

I...don't think that's normal? [She did say she was extremely old, but that doesn't mean it's not worrying to think about.]

[simplythehero]

You are not first to worry. It's fine. Am merely efficient.

[nijistaryume]

i'm not your mom i'm 12?????
i don't have lights either although if i were a robot that would be so cool
oh wait wait i have the perfect response to this

(magic internet but still)

[temmapathy]

Well, that still makes you older than me!

But...how did you send that picture? Effie isn't supposed to have this kind of capability!

[At least this is getting her to believe the "multiversal" part more easily.]

[nijistaryume]

magic internet!!
for some ppl it's on computers for some it's on like magic books and stuff
idk what effie is... robot??? that sounds cool
i'm momo!!

[temmapathy]

Hi Momo, I'm Emma! Effie's a special invention my dad made just for me so that our whole family can talk to each other with our minds! It's not a robot, more like an implant we all have.

[nijistaryume]

huh that's cool :o
kind of scary ngl but also cool!! it must be p useful if it doesn't go off by accident

[temmapathy]

Oh, that can't happen. Hang on a moment, let me figure this out.

[After a bit, she sends a shaky, short video showing her wrist, with three glowing dots on it. They look slightly unevenly spaced.]

One of these dots is for my dad and one is for Parker! And I guess one is for Badgernet now. I have to touch the dots to actually send the message along.

[nijistaryume]

[Huh, nothing about the previously mentioned mom. Momo won't press.]

oh cool!! i mean still scary but still cool
does everyone where you're from have science superpowers?? or just you

[temmapathy]

Pretty sure it's just me! Technically this is supposed to be a secret but I guess you guys can't tell on my dad to his boss.

[nijistaryume]

secret telepathy experiments??? that sounds like something with like aliens and stuff
i mean i can't talk i got sent to another world + i live there now w/ppl who usually fight ppl who get sent here but since i wasn't brainwashing anyone or trying to take over the world they kept me so i guess my life is p weird too
but still

[temmapathy]

People are getting BRAINWASHED? Who's doing this? That's terrible!

[nijistaryume]

we call them invaders
they call themselves "isekai heroes" bc they think they're the greatest thing ever even if they're total creeps who want to run the world ughhhhhhh
if you see azra-nee (she has cat ears and a really cool scar) getting mad at ppl and saying "don't come here" that's why
bc most ppl who get transported to iden are bad news!!
dw though we're handling it
(i mean i say we but no one lets me fight >_>;; but)

[temmapathy]

That sounds horrible! I hope you can stop all of them and that you get to help! [Look, she's 10, 12 years old is old enough right? Michael's 12 and he's already hacking school databases.] Do you know karate? I could send you some of the videos I've been watching!
