Evidently the thing that makes him 'real' in the eyes of other people is the ability to convey the sheer stupidity of someone's actions to them without saying a word. That's...huh. That says something, but it also can't be a priority right now.

More information is definitely helpful, but it sure as hell isn't comforting. "Wait, so getting completely mindfucked is just- a known issue for you people?" Bold words from someone who'd just spent the past year thinking he was a high fantasy Sean Bean character, but at least Wash knew who to blame for that bullshit, and Karsus was a world away at this point.

But he sighs and pulls himself together. Not helpful. Try again. "So we have a recently dead world, and a very powerful survivor who's- I don't know, experimenting? Trying to bring it back? If messing with an already populated world didn't work, then I guess making your own is the next step." He's pretty sure he's seen this before - in a movie or a TV show, probably - and it generally doesn't end well. "What I don't get is, if our god wannabe knows that you're onto them, why would they bring you here? It makes sense to grab people like me, who have no idea what's going on, but if you've already beaten them at their game once, why would they even let you know they're playing again, let alone drag you in?"

Unless the god wannabe is an idiot. That's always a possibility - powerful and smart don't necessarily go hand in hand. Fucking Karsus.
