I know, and that's what I'm trying to see this as.

We chose to stay instead of go back home. Nothing good waits for us there... And, at least here we have a chance to do something good in Julia's memory.

Bad habits are hard to break, though. And I feel myself acting more like that wizard Paul thinks I am if I'm not careful. It's...

Not good.

[megatheorem]

Again: you can talk to Paul.

You said he thinks you're powerful, though, didn't you? What are you afraid of doing?

[justoscar]

Giving him the wrong idea. All of the magic that's left from Remnant is my Uncle's and my ability to turn into birds and the ice magic that Penny has. It's just a small bit of what we used to be able to do.

We kept our autonomy. We gave up almost everything else in exchange for the possibilities here.

[megatheorem]

You're afraid that he thinks you're a wizard but you're not? That's incredibly easy to explain.

Do you want to stay here? If you had the choice, I mean; you would choose this place, again?

["again," you know, because of miss julia the first time, he thinks.]

[justoscar]

I'd find a way to let Julia live how she wanted... But yeah, I'd still choose to find a way to not go back to Remnant.

[megatheorem]

[oh good, see, there's that autonomy. he feels better about Oscar's whole thing, just a bit.]

Me too. If I hear anything about staying here indefinitely, I could let you know.

[justoscar]

[Autonomy: it's something he's got underneath several layers of trauma and duty-- not all of which is his own, but is still his to deal with. ]

I'll let you know if I hear anything about the same, sir. If you're interested.

I mean. You've gotta be interested in more than skeletons and heavy statues.

[megatheorem]

You don't have to call me sir.

And yes? I'm multifaceted, you know. I've even got a day job.

[justoscar]

Wait. What's your day job? Is it fun? Do you make cakes???

[megatheorem]

I'm a blood minister. I think it's fulfilling, most of the time.

[medical practice! yaaaay...]

Viktor bakes, I don't know how to make cakes.

[justoscar]

Being able to heal people is incredibly cool. It's probably one of the coolest things anyone can do, and I'm glad it suits you.

In the meantime, if you can do math, you can probably can't a cake too. Baking can be easier for newbies because you have to follow the recipes for it to work right.

[megatheorem]

Thank you. It can be a harrowing job sometimes, so I appreciate it.

And I don't know, I can barely eat a single slice of cake, I don't know what I'd do with a whole one.

[justoscar]

Have you ever heard of people making little cakes in coffee mugs? That sounds like the perfect amount for you

[megatheorem]

Never. But I do have a lot of mugs. I'll ask Viktor.

[this is still not Palamedes doing his own baking...]

[justoscar]

No no no. Let me bring stuff, I'll show you!

[megatheorem]

How to put a cake in a mug? How hard can it be?

[justoscar]

you're not just putting cake in a mug. You're baking it in the mug!

[megatheorem]

Oh, is that what it is? Doesn't the mug burn?

[justoscar]

Not if you do it right.

Mugs can take hot liquids, right? It's the same kinda thing. If a mug can cook liquid in a microwave, it can cook cake the same way

[megatheorem]

Wait. Does it not go into the oven?

[justoscar]

you don't know what a microwave is?

[megatheorem]

I know what a microwave is. There's one in my bunker.

[so he would not have bought one himself, no... but he has one. it was Just There.]

[justoscar]

Oh, good! It works like a mini oven, just a lot hotter and faster.

You make the cake in a mug with that.

[megatheorem]

Sure.

I'll ask Viktor how to do the microwave parts, he knows how to use the appliances better than I do.

[justoscar]

There's nothing special there, though. Just mix everything in the mug and cook it for a minute. That's all.
