Well the door's not really important. This whole thing will be over soon enough no matter what happens, that Malnosso guy even gave us heads up that he was going to screw with us.

So the more important question is how to tell if we're alive or dead if we can't actually die. Or, for that matter, if we're actually us and not some kind of creepy clone version while the real us are in laboratories somewhere. [ Like in The Matrix. ]

[markofthewise]

Well you know, given that our presence here has absolutely no impact on the events of our world, we could just be copies from our own world, dropped into this one. Which means that we're essentially different people than our originals. But that kind of means that we're effectively dying when we leave.

[... he couldn't decide if he liked that explanation or not. He plodded forward, looking for the door.]

But it doesn't matter. Whether we're alive or dead, we still have things to do and protect, right? So that's good enough.

It'd be the same thing whether it was true or wasn't. Memories are a huge part of what make a person who they are. [ Yuri wouldn't still exist if she didn't believe that. ] Whatever person we go back to being isn't us anymore whether we're actually in a lab somewhere or replicas or anything like that, so we as people effectively die when we go home no matter what. I think that's why everyone gets so upset when someone leaves, even if they say it just means they're going home. It's the same as one of the reasons I keep fighting against letting myself get reincarnated.

But! [ And her tone gets a little more peppy. Because she does agree with Sokka on this, dead or alive. ] You're right about it not really mattering yet anyway. It might sound like a crazy, overly-optimistic dream to you, but I want to get out of here with my memories in tact and find a way to keep the pathways open so that we can all visit each other. So eventually it will matter how we exist here, but for now you're right. We just have to protect each other and I've got something of an idea for that. I'll tell you another time, though.

Well done, Yuri. You've finally arrived. You're one of us now.

[He can't sound cheerful about it, though.]

[magentarific]

I'm definitely not, I still need to get out of here-- I'm just going to manage to do it with my memories in tact. Nothing's really changed!

[markofthewise]

That's the difference right there, Yuri. You've got something in Luceti valuable now.

[magentarific]

I already had certain things that were valuable here, but if that makes you feel better then we can go with that.

[ Like she'll ever admit who what those other things are though. ]

[markofthewise]

Fair enough.

[At least the door is only... a football field's worth of a walk away. It's doable!]

[magentarific]

[ Very doable! Of course, once they're there, Yuri's staring at it suspiciously. ]

So what happens if we don't end up normal sized again?

[markofthewise]

We come to terms with our new lives as tiny people, get married, and have lots of bug sized children.

[It's not a question he's going to take seriously. Because it's dumb. They'll get back to their old size!]

[magentarific]

Planning our life together as tiny people, huh?

[ She gives him a weird look, then heads straight for the door to see if it works! ]

[markofthewise]

Something like that. Anyway, here we are.

[Fair enough. Now that they're at the door.]

Good luck. See you on the other side!

[He crawls under it and vanishes. Unfortunately, this is where they get separated to separate destinations.]
