No, no, no! I'm not his mother.
It's just- that I made a bet that I could make the best blood psychic to exist from a Bulgarian woman.
... And no- that doesn't mean I turned myself into a dude and became his dad.
It means that I just- y'know. Like you do with fictional characters- I tried to ship her to a nice guy so that Rayko would grow up to be a hero... y'know... give him a good background and family to grow up with?
I had so many suitors I tried to throw at his mom. But none of them succeeded as I'd hope- his mother ended up settling down with a mobster of all people.
Just- ugh... the exact opposite of what I wanted.

If I win the bet on him being the best blood psychic, then the good guys will win in the First Atlantean Incursion, that's set to happen like... 14 or more years from now. Atlantis won't win the First Incursion if I win my bet.
If I lose- well- they'll gain Greece, and a foothold in the world.
I didn't name the price- because no-one was betting against me, and then this real- fuckin' asshole- Marjjin said that he'd bet against me, and then named the price.

You'll thank me for this later...
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Listen- a long time ago in my world's living world- there was this country called Atlantis. According to the legends, their island sunk into the ocean. But in truth, and in rumor- they fled into an exodus to a parallel world to theirs- we know, because we can see that one too.
"New Atlantis" is a world superpower there, the others that arrived not being able to meet the foundations that Atlantis was able to build as the sole civilization to exist, one that was hardened and united.They are militaristic and expansionist. And they have a grudge towards their "old world", so... one day, we know they'll return. And they've focused their research on magic, instead of science.
The solutions their technology has made were magical in nature instead of scientific. They're equal right now but... well. Who knows what'll happen when a superpower suddenly appears out of thin air?

I'm Hal, by the way.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Most people say their own name once the other person says theirs.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?They came up with magical solutions to scientific problems. -shrugs- They just took a different route.
They wouldn't know how earth technology works, and guys from earth wouldn't know how theirs work either.
But that's besides the point- New Atlantis is a threat.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Every one of these injuries stacks up. By the time you're thirty, at this rate, you'll need constant care even if you survive every injury.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-nods- Ah, there there...
I'd say booze can help but all the good stuff i had is gone. Waiting for this- skeleton lawyer to get some delivered for me.
Since I can't leave, as Rayko's around here and I don't want to miss a thing.
