"It means people who can do things most humans can't do and will live forever unless they're killed."

"Some kind of Darwinist creature then. Please don't kill me."

"Why would I do that?"

"I dunno, 'cos of the war?"

"Wait, you don't know what Miracles are, but you do know about the war?"

"The war between the Central Axis Powers and the disgusting Darwinist Allied Powers. You're trying to confuse me, you are."

"Um, Central Axis Powers sounds like a Great War thing."

"Yeah, that's what they're callin' it."

"That was over a hundred years ago!"

"...Okay what."

"What year do you think it is?"

"Nineteen seventeen."

"Twenty-twenty."

"Okay so why did you- or whoever that was, time-kidnap me?"

"I think he just wanted to pull in a coin or something."

The grey boy runs over to the two girls. It quickly becomes clear that not only is he not wearing anything, the dress code around here seems rather lax in general. The blonde girl in particular is literally dressed like a peacock.

"I am a mechanic."

"You tried to run me over!"

"You were in between me and the fastest way to run away. And I didn't actually hit you."

"Why are you here?"

"That's what I want to know!" She throws her hands up.

"I bet she's a spy!"

"If I was gonna spy on Darwinist creatures you think I'd be stupid enough to bring a Walker with me?"

"Whaaat?"
