There was a long pause, before Midnara finally spoke up,
"So it's true then! Some kind of 'divine force' playing games with my city!"
Dexter laughed again.
"Oh, it's a game alright. But I'm not sure it's your city...
No, not everyone here 'came with' the city. It would seem there are alot of 'copies' here as well..."
He grinned a little,
"You're a little strange though. I don't think you ever had anything to do with the director's games. Maybe..."
He laughed even louder this time.

Amethyst smiled just slightly, then began her attempt at an answer.
"It is difficult to say... I have considered many possibilities..."
She began to pace back and forth,
"Throughout this entire game I have encountered forms of magic I had never considered before. They all have different laws, different physics...
Almost like they came with different realities."
She paused for a moment.
"I have considered in fact, that this is the best definition for magic: The translation of the physics of one reality into another. But there are consistencies."
She picked up a small piece of scrap metal from the floor.
"Is this a phase of ether? A subtle blend of earth and fire? A bond of submicroscopic particles? I think the answer is all of the above, because all models allow for the same result.
And I think that's how metal gains its strength. Because it's so close to what so many different models call 'normal,' to tear it apart you have to rip at it from every model at once."
She tossed the piece aside,
"But these worlds we have been brought into are very far from 'normality.' In that sense it may be reasonable to 'overpower' it with a 'normal' model. It may require an atomic blast to the barrier, or more, or less. I honestly cannot say for scale..."
She stopped her pacing, and looked straight at Eximo.
"It's just a theory, but if the physics of these universes truly are designed from the ground up by a single man, he may have forgotten the rule to prevent us from 'ripping reality a new one.'"
