[ When Nimona appears on the shellphone, she's wearing a manta ray onesie and has an extremely big manta ray plush as her pillow. ]
I know some big terrible things are happening right now, but that's kinda the point of this. I just need a distraction, because I dunno if I'm gonna get much sleep anyway.
[ She'd rather be out there searching, breaking things... ]
Let's talk about our worlds. It can be about anything. Stories, legends, stuff that's happened to you personally, whatever. I'll start.
[ The shellphone is propped up. ]
My world is weird. We've got knights and a kingdom, but we've also got crazy levels of tech compared to this place. Flying vehicles, laser weapons, those sort of hologram screens. Don't ask me how any of it really works, I only know how to use it.
We've got royalty... though the queen was recently killed. Not sure who's gonna be in charge now. I don't pay that close of attention to what the humans do. And we've got our old stories too. Mostly about a monster and the woman who defeated it a thousand years ago and became a hero.
[ Nimona points at herself. ]
It's me, I'm the "monster". Not really a monster, though, just different from everyone else in my world.
Your turn, if you wanna talk to anyone.

[It's not a great joke, but he's trying to lighten the mood.]
Actually, it sounds like my home has some things in common with yours. And I don't just mean the bullies who will single people out for being unique. We also had much more advanced technology, like yours. In fact, I have my own lab for building and testing it myself — especially flying vehicles!
I wouldn't say we have a lot of kingdoms anymore, though. There is a princess who would come to visit sometimes! But since her kingdom exists in an entirely different dimension, I wouldn't say it counts as being part of my world...

[ Nimona can make it a great joke and mood lightener. ]
Someone else here from a world that has flying vehicles! I think you might be the only one I've come across who said that. Not counting planes.
Okay, but your world is attached to another dimension - how cool is that?

Hey, don't knock planes! I mean, I've built some pretty cool transforming vehicles that can switch between air and land modes, and outfitted them with lasers and grappling hooks and all that — but all those features can add a lot of weight. When it comes to pure speed, a classic plane can be hard to beat!
As far as being attached... I think most of the credit goes to her dimension. The princess, Blaze — she can travel between the two using magic power gems called the Sol Emeralds. And theoretically, she could use those to travel to other dimensions in the multiverse.
And from what little we've learned? There's so many parallel universes out there, with all kinds of differences. So, taking all of those into account, who's to say what's a normal way to think, or act, or feel? Or what a normal number of appendages is? [... or what a normal example is?]
no subject
I wasn't knocking planes! I was saying there's worlds out there who don't have other super awesome cool flying vehicles. Our vehicles can switch between air and land modes too, and some have all kinds of weapons!
Sounds like your world - worlds? - is a lot more interesting than mine.
