Script[]
| Black Mage | Alone forever in a dark infinity. There are worse fates. |
| Fighter | (offscreen) Heya, Black Mage! |
| Black Mage | I can hear one of those worse fates now... |
| Fighter | We were hoping you'd show up. |
| Black Mage | Where are we and how can I get away from you? |
| Thief | It's hard to say, really. |
| Red Mage | Space-time appears to be non-discrete here. You can see us a few seconds into the future over there. |
| Black Mage | (looking at the frame behind him) And there you are a few seconds ago. |
| Red Mage | Precisely. |
| Black Mage | (looking at the frame below them) We're down there too. I wonder why I'm saying "Oh"? |
| Red Mage | In this fractured shard, this phantom-like zone, we can't be sure casualty is maintained. |
| Red Mage | It's impossible to know until we catch up to that point in this realm's disjointed flow of time. |
| Black Mage | Oh. |
| Red Mage | Time and space are independent here. Do you have any idea what the implications are for bending the rules? |
| Red Mage | You can use out of character knowledge before you even had it! |
| Thief | (mutters) Or, if we're interested in good ideas... |
