19:42:33 <Top> ok so i agree he doesnt deserve basic human rights
19:51:26 *** Tropinano is back
19:51:37 <Tropinano> LMAO
19:52:04 <Tropinano> i sorta meant the luxuries he gets in the original- like why does he need a computer in his CELL
19:53:39 <Top> yeah that made no sense. sure he listens to the foundation and all that, but that's just dumb
19:58:10 *** Tropinano is away (Auto-away)
20:04:52 *** Tropinano is back
20:05:04 <Tropinano> exactly
20:17:49 <Top> so like
20:18:14 <Top> the idea you had with the shedding cells, is it in replacement of him leaving his body behind and bringing over the new one?
20:18:35 <Tropinano> hrmm
20:18:56 <Tropinano> i honestly thought of like, his cells are aging rlly rapidly
20:23:07 <Top> wait i think i finally got what you meant by that
20:23:23 <Top> my peanut brain just caught on
20:25:09 <Top> so like
20:25:54 <Top> when he hops dimensions, his cells just die/replicate faster, basically killing and remaking him. am i right?
20:26:25 <Top> this'd be in lieu of the foundation having to kill him everytime, right?

20:31:59 *** Tropinano is back
20:32:17 <Tropinano> yeah i guess!
20:32:47 <Tropinano> but its probably painful
20:34:03 <Top> oh, id imagine. having to feel your entire body dying only to rebuild itself at the moment must feel awful
20:37:13 <Tropinano> yowch 😖
20:39:35 <Top> how about, like, he doesn't naturally dimension-hop. like it just doesn't happen randomly, but he needs to be in a lot of pain or distress for it to happen (like the car crash), and it actually happening is also super painful to him.
20:42:24 <Top> like, the foundation suffocates him or something, he starts dimension hopping, his body undoes and redoes itself, and he's somewhere else
20:44:42 <Tropinano> so its like a defense mechanism?
20:45:36 <Top> yeah, and the foundation is just needlessly activating it just so they can catalogue different realities
20:48:09 <Tropinano> that sounds interesting
20:48:51 <Tropinano> but i guess they wouldnt be too grimdark about it, even letting it happen naturally is bound to show smth
20:49:05 <Tropinano> how much distress does he have to be under to activate the abilityz.
20:49:16 <Top> i also like the idea of letting him developing a god complex then ruining him
20:49:20 <Top> uhhh
20:49:22 <Top> good question
20:50:00 <Top> one which i do not have an answer to. maybe life threatening? or enough to get a serious injury? idk
20:51:35 <Tropinano> my idea was he finds a dimension that treats him really well and he internalises it
20:51:59 <Tropinano> but deliberately trying to get back to it just leads him to worse dimensions
20:57:02 <Top> i would love that. some interviews in-between would be work to show his desperation to get back there
21:02:49 <Tropinano> yeah!! or some general behaviour updates and stuff, just shows what hes trying
21:09:08 <Top> oh that'd be great. maybe a mix of both?
21:09:25 <Top> like a therapist or whatever interviewing him and taking notes
