"Managed chaos can be a little fun from time to time.. Who knows, maybe I could show you the city of dragons next time you're on our world." Alexander would look over to the other two as they approached. He kind of thought they'd be on their way by now. Kabartmak would look up from a book as he said, "My process of casting the spell to make a door between worlds wherever we happen to be, even though it will be temporary, is still relatively new. It will take me a little longer to 'hook onto' the anchor I left behind, but once i'm done, it should last long enough for the two of you to have finish your walk or have cup of tea or something."

"A city of dragons?" Now that sounded interesting. If they were anything like the dragons from this world, a whole city of them seemed like a cool place! Turning her attention to the smaller foxes, she couldn't help but smile at the thought. "I can't wait." If Kabartmak could work on a way of lengthening the spell over time, maybe she could stop in whenever she liked to say hello!

For now though, she was content enough to just have this time with her beloved fox friends.

     The citizen had her hands full of groceries. She could barely peek over her paper bags. As she went down the path to her and Shigaraki’s home, she stumbled into someone. The moment she felt herself bump into someone, she stopped herself from tripping.

The spell World Bridge was essentially completed at this point. Now it was time for limit testing... Although, the test of its limits was probably when it connected to The Library.. But he hadn't seen any other spaces in-between worlds since then. . what about that world he was going to check next when he found The Library? He never checked it afterwards. Now would be a good time. Like always, after the spell was cast, a temporary door would appear on that world. Kabartmak would venture forth, having taken a liking to doing the scouting himself. All his other work for the day was done anyway. When he arrived, he would look around for a moment... This placed seemed familiar.. It held a certain energy in the air that he could've sworn he had felt before. Had he already visited this world? If so, why wouldn't it be in his notes? He would need to investigate further.

There's a turning of the head when he sees a portal open and... Oh. That... Leaping from his tree with a grace that belied the cat he was at heart, he strolls over without much provocation and moves to sweep up the small fox in his arms. He's careful not to put too much pressure or such his diadem, but the fox wizard rests safely against his robes.

"... It's been a while, little Wizard." A familiar voice that isn't used too often nowadays slips the young man. While there's not a smile or anything on his features from what Kabartmak can see, there is a warmth in his tone for the fox.

"... Still creating rifts in space? Can't say I'm surprised nor do I view it as anything bad." He lifts the fox in a way where he can 'look' him in the eye, then, a soft smile.

"Yes, I tend to ignore riddles and just use magic to bypass them. When you study enough of the Fae magic, Demon magic tends to start showing similarities and typically falls apart when those are taken advantage of." Her last notion had him a bit on the fence.. Yeah, sure, most knowledge should be shared, not locked away. Like telling people most Cleric magic has no material cost and they shouldn't be paying for it. But, there were some specific things... "While I agree most knowledge should be shared.. In a world of magic, where good and evil are not merely concepts, but combatants, some things must be kept from all who would seek them. The most recent major catastrophe was caused by someone unearthing ancient knowledge and unleashing an even more ancient draco-lich from their prison. It was dealt with of course... but it was preventable."

Quiet for most of what he says, she gently bites the end of her pen, pulling it away to write something down in her notebook. 'That sounds troublesome.' She concludes about the unearthing ancient knowledge. Curious, she pats the notebook to the fox and the pen. '... Is that knowledge you can share? I'd like to fully read about it later.'

Kabartmak would nod and say, "I believe the spell has reached completion. I do not need anything further." He didn't really expect the Library to need to rest, but it was an interesting notion none the less. It made him curious from where or from what it drew its power, seeming to need to regain energy or something. With all the said though, he would think for a bit. There were a lot of gods, but to really narrow down the one with the biggest ego, or most insufferable.. "Well.. They're not a full god, but the Demon Lord Areshkagal is rather annoying. They are the demon lord of portals and riddles, and they tend to be rather full of themself. I think they don't like me, as even they are unable to generate a portal into my shop." To add on to the potential of other visitors, he would brush her once with his tail while sitting next to her and say, "Don't worry to much about a lack of friends. If it is allowed, over time you will likely end up meeting a few of mine. I will of course make sure their arrival is not random or without notice."

The Library warbles in response and then falls quiet.

Ava listens and takes the name in. It sounds like Ereshkigal -- a deity of some kind in another world, but... Moving to pick up her pen and notebook, she starts writing; Areshkagal. Check references for name later against Ereshkigal.

She regards the fox once more and smiles softly. 'Hm. The best way to deal with a riddler is now to outriddle them but to simply give them no answer, I find. Odd logic, I know, but I've had to deal with such things before. It's worked in my favor.'

"That is true. God's have agendas and morals and egos, just like mortals... Some with ego bigger than others.. but some are humble, like Nocticula. They used to be a demon lord of assassins, but through a long story, they achieved redemption and became the Redeemer Queen, god of redemption." The old fox would look over to the door as it became fully solid. It seemed as if the spell was complete, and the "connection" established. "If I meet them again, I could ask the raven if they would like to visit here if you want. They are a bit eccentric, but fairly 'grounded' in reality.. I believe they developed a method of producing something called Titanium before becoming a god, so they are rather smart."

She seems most amused by this about him talking about the gods and their egos, but it turns to curiosity about the others; 'Perhaps, if you visit again, I'd be most interested in hearing about these deities.' Although she has to ask... 'Who was the most insufferable deity you've come across? I mean... ego-wise.'

As for a visitor... she smiles softly. '... If you would do so, I'd be honored. I... don't get many visitors, and I have far fewer friends.' She seems, in that moment, a lonely person. Kabartmak's presence in some ways, soothes her, almost like a small creature would soothe a child. She is grateful for him taking the time to answer her curiosity as well and it shows by the way she looks to the fox.

The Library then warbles softly as if asking if Kabartmak needs anything else in regards to his doorway, and she tells Kabartmak as such; 'The Library wishes to know if you require anymore assistance with your portal. I don't think it's trying to rush you out, so much as sometimes the Library 'sleeps'. I've kept it up for the past few days, so...' She smiles softly in apology to which the Library warbles as if to say it's no problem -- for her, it never is.

"I have actually, although they tend to use their angels as messengers.. Mostly it was during spell creation though. They got a little worried when I began work on something I called Aspect of the Deity. It still isn't perfect, and only one god has agreed to work with me on it, but i'm sure the others might come around in time." He would mull over the thought of each world only having one god of fate.. That would make things so much easier. At least the Over-deities kept the lot of them in line so they don't try to force their choices onto fate. "There is also the newest god, Edgar the Raven, that I have spoken with. I mentioned before, he was the most recent to complete the trial of the Starstone. Unlike the others, he seems to be more fit to staying on or near the material plane. Not ascending to the outer realms and all that jazz."

Ava is curious, tilting her head slightly as she listens. 'If you gain more information on that, I'd be curious to know the results.' She concludes. The knowledge that as well there was a new deity of sorts in his world fascinated her.
