...

[She is completely, utterly, stunned. Kerra stands here, eyes wide, mouth half open...]

...What just happened?

[hasbuuproblems]

I simply teleported us back. Sorry...I guess I should have warned you beforehand.

[That's his bad. Sorry, Kerra.]

[erranthero]

No. No, I just...how? That shouldn't be possible.

[Shouldn't, but clearly is!]

[hasbuuproblems]

Perhaps our universes operate on different rules. Myself and the other Kais can teleport wherever they like, and there's even a race of beings in Universe Seven that have a technique to teleport across the galaxy, though it is far more restrictive than my own ability.

[Guess not all universes are created equal. Interesting to know there are other universes where that's not possible.]

[erranthero]

They probably do. Because where I'm from, crossing distance like that takes...a long time. We have faster than light travel, but nothing like that.

[...]

Is it magic? Or...well, it isn't the Force, I know that.

[hasbuuproblems]

Magic? I don't believe so.

[He's not really sure how to describe it.]

I suppose you could call it an innate ability of mine as Supreme Kai. Not all Kais are able to teleport as I can. It is a divine ability.

[erranthero]

And you are a god, or near enough, then?

[Just so she can get her head on straight, she has to ask.]

[hasbuuproblems]

Yes, I am a god, as you say.

[He nods, and smiles in that mysterious way he does even though he's really just a cinnamon roll]

[erranthero]

Well I hope you don't expect worship. That's...kind of against what the Jedi stand for.

[Big time, actually.]

[hasbuuproblems]

Worship? Oh no, it's nothing like that.

[He's pretty sure most mortals don't even know who the Kais are.]

I'm just the overseer, not an idol of worship. My position would not impede the Jedi way whatsoever. That is the organization you belong to, yes?

[erranthero]

Yes, it is. Since you seem a bit more well versed in things than most people around here, it's a monastic order of guardians in my galaxy.

[That should be easy enough to get.]

Are you just some sort of observer? Or do you take an active role?

[hasbuuproblems]

[He shakes his head at her question.]

Just an observer. I only intervene if absolutely necessary. It is not my job to influence mortals' evolution.

[erranthero]

Just keep the...celestial bureaucracy...? going?

[She's got questions there. But mostly that. That will answer all of them.]

[hasbuuproblems]

Sort of like that, I suppose.

[It seems to him like a lot to explain for now.]

Perhaps I can explain another time. It is getting a bit late.

[erranthero]

Yes. That's true enough.

Another time. I'll take you out for more street food. How's that sound?

[hasbuuproblems]

That sounds wonderful. I'd like to try that seafood truck downtown. It sounds delightful.

[erranthero]

Then that's what we'll hit up once this all blows over.
