Oh, this is wonderful!

You mortal types – and not-so-mortal types – and your pocket dimensions, I mean. Your little rolled-up universes tucked away into the corner of who-knows-where. Y'know, they obliterate any sort of logic that ought proceed them, mess around with the very foundations of time, and completely shatter any hope we had of keeping continuity, well, continuous! In the end, though, none of this really matters. It's like a drop in the ocean, compared to everything that's come before it. Still, we all have a tendency to believe that the world, that all worlds, revolve around us. Like the Universe or the Creator or whatever you believe in purposely did this to mess with you, and you alone, and everyone else has fallen by the wayside. Not that this isn't important. Not to you, anyway.

But what am I saying? Listen, it's like this: take a moment to step back from it all. Stop with the whys, wheres and hows, and all those other question words, and breathe it all in. Some days, I feel as if nobody appreciates life anymore. Not even the little things, like being able to enjoy the chemical aftertaste that follows food, and, oh, I already mentioned something about breathing, didn't I? So take a look around, take a moment to relax! I promise you, nothing's going to fall apart while you all kick back.

Anyway, it's great to be here. I hope we can be friends!

"any hope we had of keeping continuity", is that a reference to American superhero comics? [1/4]

So you're just saying to relax? That's good advice, but...

You are...the one that comes at the end, and in so doing, defines what comes at the beginning.

It is truly an honor. But to see that this place can hold one such as yourself...

Poor DC Comics...

Even so, anything that can capture the anthropomorphic personification of death is not to be trifled with. Unless it was done by accident...which is more disconcerting.

It might be considerably harder than I'm used to. I may even need to miss my winter nap.

And just what were the consequences of that?

There are different kinds of cages, but I will accept your thoughts on the matter.

I hope we won't keep you too busy then...I'm sure handling the microscopic organisms is enough trouble already. [She seems to be getting over her initial surprise.]

And then, why, you'd have to take a holiday.

I am glad to hear that reality can handle such things.

But then you sometimes get all manner of unpleasant things from those windows that you have to deal with.

But that can make it more enjoyable, can't it?

But it leaves such a mess sometimes
