` Fascinating ! Other than the apparent presence of doppelgangers and the unraveling of temporal seams , what else seems amiss ? I must say , The city is still familiar to me , but something feels distinctly off - I simply cannot pinpoint the issue . `

"We can talk now, if youd like?" He offered with a smile. "This place is very unique.'

Hm ! It appears that there was a unique celestial alignment recently . I do hope that people took the opportunity to appreciate the beauty beyond our clear skies .

` Ah , of course, Viktor . I was waiting for an explanation from anyone present prior to the argument , but it would seem that various matters have hindered that . `

¤ ARACKNISS ¤@araneae-wrath.bsky.social · last yr.

".. Ehh.. professor? If I may." Viktor is young here. Still only using his cane. Like when he was an assistant. "Perhaps we can talk. I have learned a little of this world."

Hmm .. It seems that the underlying magical properties here are quite erratic ——-- Given the fact that multiple instances of identical individuals can coexist within this realm .

Now that the chaos has subsided , I can begin my journey through this strange yet familiar iteration of the city ( * ❕ )

I have only arrived a few hours prior . Does my presence often accompany commotion ?? Hm ...

( * ❕❔ ) Jayce , this is unnecessary and terribly out of line !

Good show , both of you ! I have never felt so alive in decades !! Hm-hm

Oh dear , oh goodness

( * Carrying his poro out of harm's way ! )

A · ah ! My apologies ! Curiosity got the better of me , and such debacle has always been a form of entertainment . Though ..

I do require an explanation and a recall of the timeline of recent events ! And I do ... Want to see the outcome of this spontaneous argument ( * 🌀 )

W · wait !! ( 🌀 ) ... most concerning , what has gotten into them ?

Holy sprockets ...

And an explanation is in order , right after I gather my bearings 🌀

By the ethos – !!!

` A constant trial and error , it would seem . Brilliance should not overlook accuracy ! It is a good thing you are there to aid him . `

Of course. Jayce keeps me busy. His math still needs correcting.

ᅠ⚘𓈒 Using all my remaining brain cells to write Heimerdinger. 🕴

` Ekko ! Good day to you as well . Nice to see you're chipper this morning . `

` A 𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 ? ! 𝐵𝑦 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑠 ... ` ( * 💧 ) The professor was in disbelief , apparent in his expression and furrowed brows . ` ——- The possibility of harnessing the arcane is a dangerous endeavour . `

Viktor@arcanevik.bsky.social · last yr.

"You'd be surprised what good a mages hands can bring" That's all he's saying. Still eyeing Heimerdinger as if he is expecting the feisty little Yordle man to try and fight him.

Head tilt , adjusting his goggles . ` Hm .. It appears that my words have raised some suspicions . Not only that , but you also seem to have undergone a significant change ! `

Viktor@arcanevik.bsky.social · last yr.

Standing there wary like a cat. "Hello Again, Professor"

` Viktor ! I was wondering where you have went . Hopefully you have been productive during my absence , hm ? `

¤ ARACKNISS ¤@araneae-wrath.bsky.social · last yr.

Hello, Professor. A pleasure to see you.

Nose scrunched up . ` Ah , I was pertaining to another pair ! But I would also like to give you my greetings , Viktor ! `

Viktor@arcanevik.bsky.social · last yr.

"Which one, Sir" Wary glanced from this Viktor.

Unfortunately I do not know who this smeech is !

Why greetings !! ( * ✨ )

( * He's harmless. ) 🙂

And multiple versions of oneself seems to be the norm ! Speaking of , hello again Viktor !

It would seem I have caused a mild disturbance

I believe that is not necessary !
