Oh, dude, no. I mean, my world has been through "the end of the world" a bunch of times, but most of 'em, humans weren't around for. And the ones we were, it didn't like... erase everythin'. Except maybe Noah and the flood, but there wasn't that much to erase back then anyway. Sorry, guy, your shit's probably super fucked.
[ It's not said cruelly, it's said with genuine bemusement. When she's spoken about apocalypses with other people, it's never been with the idea that it happens at regular intervals for no apparent reason. Every person she's talked to about it has had the same basic understanding that, when the world ends, it's a freak cataclysmic event, not something predictable that completely resets reality.
The idea that having access to magic might also preclude people from knowing how to light fires and shoot bows and tie their shoes is also extremely confusing to her -- she's now met plenty of people from plenty of worlds with natural magic, and it doesn't seem to be an issue for them. ] Well, take it from someone whose world didn't have magic at all. It's way better to have it than not. Mine would probably still be standin' if we'd had magic.
[ Instead, because they didn't, humanity is a generation or two from extinction, and demons invaded to fuck everyone up. Cool.
Another goat kid, brown with a white tuft on its forehead, climbs into her lap, atop the still-snoozing Speckle, and bleats at her for attention as she clucks her tongue affectionately, scratching both sides of its neck. She speaks with a casualness that doesn't address this distraction. ]
Yeah, that's only the first time, you'll be fine. Plus, you lose your memory that first time, but then you get a power or somethin' outta it. Figured yours out yet?
