[because listen old habits die hard and haha fuck the idea of blasting identifying information over a questionably secured at best network in a freaky mystery city!!!]

So we're all just supposed to lie back and take it like this is just where our lives are now?

If you consider this place home and are getting back to previously established lives, fine whatever. But some of us aren't exactly looking to start whole new lives in a supposedly sentient city in the middle of everywhere or nowhere.

How do we make this place hate us and spit us back out or however the hell any of this works? Who's got the brains and the lab tech to reverse the bridge that brings us in to take us back? What metaphysical bullshit needs done to fix everything?

There have been way too many powerful magic users, science and tech geniuses, and gods to pass through here previously for reversing anything to be possible, because if there had been, they'd have found it. Example A: One of said magic users was mutual friends (or family) with a lot of my friends, she got possessed by some cosmic horror, killed by a magistrate for it to siphon her boosted power from it or some nonsense, then one of my other magic friends who packed a magical punch too temporarily put her soul in my body for a few minutes to try to get information and all that shit. Clearly I'm not scared of desperate measures and gambles, but it's gonna be hard to top that one.

So no punching holes in reality. At least in theory. Blah blah sentient city blah blah brings us here on purpose bc it's fucked up like that and we all have jobs or we've got strong emotions. [Someone was keeping up with what the Duchess was explaining, apparently.]

But it can choose to shunt people out too. That's what happened before, some kind of end of the world scenario. It just decided to bring everyone back again once it was
fixed?
Turned itself off turned itself back on again?
So. Potential exploit. If apocalyptic in nature.

Yeeep. But I wouldn't say everyone came back; she didn't, he didn't. But if you find a powerful magic user or five, I'm willing to be whatever magical bait I need to be again.
