I dunno, it's hard to tell. They only took a picture of the corner of the break, not the whole thing.

... I really hate not being able to investigate for 24 hours.

[nods...]

It's a pain that we only get nine hours to do everything.

Pretty sure that kind of time frame wouldn’t be held up in any court of law. But— [ he shrugs. ] Hell.

[gazes at the void]

Hell.

I don't know what we expected, really.

No afterlife? Competent upper management? Too much to ask for in either case, I guess.

Expecting hell to have competent upper management seems like a step too far, honestly.

Yeah... Flew too close to the boiling seas.

Just don't fly into it and you're probably good.

... Ehhhh. [a one armed shrug.] You can survive the heat with the right spell. Not usually worth the risk of third degree burns, though.

What spell? Aren't everyone's abilities under proverbial lock and key right now?

Huh? Of course I know that. But I'm talking about the boiling seas. Back home.

Boiling seas?

[ what. ]

Yes?

Just.

Your seas are just casually boiling?

[he nods like he doesn't know why he's so hung up on this.]

I come from the Boiling Isles. We get boiling rain, too.

[ hey, earth isn’t boiling yet. he’s confused AND intrigued. ]

Yikes.

[ yikes. ]

Rain does not do that where I’m from. Yet.

Yet?

[hello?? human realm????]

[ it's fine. ]

Global warming's a thing that isn't slowing down, so who knows? Maybe our rain will be boiling in a few hundred years.

What? [HE'S SO ALARMED.] Why? What's making your world heat up?

... I mean how long have you got? I'm no expert but--

We can't do or find anything until tomorrow, so...

[he has the time.]

Inventions and our way of life is heating up the planet bit by bit and it's going to be a shit show.

[ he is not a scientist. ]

Uh. Then stop doing that?
