Oh well, better safe than sorry.

I sat on the beach, little decorative umbrella-topped drink in one hand and big ball in the other, in a state of bemused bliss. With everything I had learned about this world, I kept expecting some sort of apocalyptic event to happen despite having a perk specifically to enforce the finality of conflict by beating dudes up. Mainly because I had encountered world with similarly problemativ metaphysics that had fought against said perk in the past simply by conjuring new conflicts.

Random goddesses weren't trying to steal the Holy Grail and declare themselves the Goddess of Summer, I wasn't being isekai'd to some sort of doomed cyberspace in which the indomitable human spirit was also the indifferent cruelty of the universe, and a small dragon idol wasn't breaking space and time to host a concert. It was strange. Despite the formidable conceptual and informational manifestation technodivinity present in this world-rivalling even that of Panhuman History-it was as if my avatar's mere presence was some kind of stabilising lynchpin for the slice of life conditions I found myself in.

"Senpai SENPAAAAAAI!!" yelled Mika, running up to me and going boing-boing. "Guess what I did today?"

"Do tell"

"I set up a successful vacation for Nagisa senpai yaaay!"

"And you...didn't use a Holy Grail to do it?"

"Huh? Well, she did get into an argument with Hasumi over milk tea and almost pressed a detonator but that's just how we roll in Kivotos sensei, it's no biggie!"

"Fascinating. So...you're not on the cusp of becoming some sort of world-ending apocalyptic entity?"

"Haha, you're so funny senpai!"

"Seriously why are you this strong for no reason, you're like the Frieza of schoolgirls. You're a gorilla in swimwear"

>Previously on Solar Ash: https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/92771863/#92777933 I don't even remember if this crossover was a real thing or something I made up in a dream, I could've sworn there was some kind of easter egg hinting at both settings somehow sharing a universe but I can't find anything about it. Oh well. I'll put it down to my Jumper retroactively collapsing all the realities into each other

"Well, we're here"

"Feels like it's been longer" complained my stoaway. "MUCH longer, you know what I mean?"

"That's probably the time dilation. Or the Phenomena Operation" echoed my voice on deck.

"The what now?"

"Don't worry about it" my voice continued to echo. It was at that moment my stowaway realised I wasn't abroad anymore, and was in fact planetside. "Holy shit! Who's steering this thing! Jesus, what's even-"

"Calm down. It's just another ontological displacement, I'm perfectly capable of steering the ship with the power of my mind"

"With WHAT"

"I ordered you to" CALM DOWN, I said in the voice of outer power.

"I am now calm. This is weird but I am calm about it"

"Fantastic. Just stay aboard. I won't be long"

The stowaway did nothing as I proceeded to gather enough Resonance and Light to enact one planet's worth of a Final Shape. "Hey! Hey, is there...is there anything I can do to help?"

"Didn't I order you to remain calm?"

"Uh. I am calmly trying to figure out how to get this ship moving away from the freaky time-glitching nightmare planet we stopped at?"
