"Yeah, I know -- guy's gotta eat and hit the toilet every so often," Marty jokes back. He listens with interest as Jokester explains how the whole business works. "I get it -- if a universe isn't in trouble, it's not gonna fall in. And if it is in trouble -- well, it's gotta finish whatever it started first, it sounds like.

He grimaces as Jokester tells him about some of the people already in the soup. "Demons? For decades? Shit. That must have sucked -- and one of them was a kid?! Jeez. . ." He shakes his head. "Tell Jeannie to tell 'em I'm rooting for 'em. That sounds like the worst." He shrugs at the next bit. "I don't know anything about Final Fantasy. Swords and sorcery, though -- that sounds like Dungeons and Dragons. Maybe you got one of their settings? Probably one of them's imploded from rewrites or something by now."
