*he tilts his head, trying to understand* "Ah... forgive me if I'm unable to understand. the common people of the place I'm from don't tend to get upset about anything... and most anyone who could express genuine hate is understanding of the existence of Gifts... You shouldn't have to hide what makes you you..." *he tilts his head back up, saying,* "uh... Might I ask the name of your race? just a curiosity."

"my...my race?"

genuine confusion crosses Ions face. he's never been asked that question before..

"well...human, like you."

he takes a second.

"you...are human...yes?"

*he shakes his head no* "I'm not a Human. I was created after all. the name given to my kind, is 'Greater Importance'... in my world, there are The Deus EX, the Demi-Deus EX, the Greater Importances, the lesser importances, and the people of Machina's and Imaginatio's realms, the Anonymous, and the extra-Ordinary... some say there are others besides that, but those are the ones that I believe count."

"b..but if what your saying is true...i dont belong here....i was walking in a park in Los Angeles this morning!"

a look of terror is slowly creeping onto his face

*he sees that something about what he's said must have shocked you* "nonono! don't worry! I have no idea where I am. I just left my realm to go exploring others, and happened upon a park, then happened upon you." *he looks around some* "Los Angeles? is that the name of this place? huh. sounds almost exactly like the name of a sky city from my realm. 'Lost Angel-EX'"

"......oh thank god!"

a loud laugh is heard.

"you almost gave me a heart attack. im sorry for my reaction. yeah, this place is called Los Angeles."

he turns and gestures with wide arms at the city over the tree line.

"wait.."

he turns back

"left your realm? you can DO that?"

*he relaxes some as your panic fades* "Yes, no, well. um. its slightly complicated. As a servant of Imaginatio, I am blessed with the ability to ~Dream. when I sleep, I can go to all kinds of wondrous places, or I can even have my dreaming self interact with the world I'm from... in fact, unlike the ?natural? night skys i have seen in other places, the world I'm from is granted a starry night when Artist, the Demi-Deus EX, goes to sleep... his ~Dream cloud is able to cover the entire sky."
"My real body is in my bed, and my dream body, is here. I even got to bring my Dat along with me."

"wait...so i'm interacting with a manifestation of your dream consciousness?....that's...incredible"

he was struggling to believe him, but he was a human energy manipulator, so he can't discount what he says

*he nods, saying,* "Following Deus EX Machina might have its own particular upsides, but Imaginatio has its own, and it is very good."

"hey...can you eat in that dream body?"

he asks upon hearing his own stomach rumble.

*not sure why such a question would come up, he answers,* "Yes, I can. why would you ask? are you hungry? I keep a tray of mint cookies beside my bed for if I ever want a snack mid-dream if you wanted one."

"no thanks, i was offering to buy you something to eat here in los angeles. you ever have a cheeseburger?"

*he starts to nod happily* "Ah, yes. I tend to get them for lunch all the time. a satisfying meal. when combined with the right flavors."

"wanna go grab a burger with me? it could be fun"

suddenly, a man walks up behind depth and points a gun at the back of his head.

MAN:" don't move, both of you. give me your stuff or i shoot"

*in surprise, Depth's head turns all the way around to look at the man, as his arm tightens around his Dat* "Wha?"

the man gets a horrified look upon his face.

MAN:"what the he-"

he presses the muzzle into depths forehead

"i won't tell you again you weird..THING"

*Depth recognizes the type of weapon* "oh, I understand. sorry" *he whips his long mechanical arm about as he drops himself down from the muzzle, his sharp fingers aiming to cut deep into the man's side* *he maintains a firm, gentle grip on his pet, careful not to squash or drop them*

in surprise at depths movement, the man fires the gun, which causes the builet to fly and hit Ion in the chest.

*Depth follows through with his swing, intending to throw the man into the air as he twists his body about to be in a more stable position*

the blow follows through as planned and the man is sent flying.
