[ DC 104 ] At 14:10, soon after the Wagon Wheel power shuts off

Power in the Wagon Wheel just shut off completely.
I'm not sure what's going on.
IntSec is freaking out right now.

[ Oh, of course, she should also mention: ]

I'm okay for now, I think. Maybe. But it's starting to get loud in the hall.
No one can get in or out of any of the doors.
Help.

[ Felicity's on the 17th floor of the Wagon Wheel, since she actually got assigned to work for IntSec. Maybe it was lucky, since IntSec, given their jobs, was one of the more protected floors. ]

...but I wasn't making a joke.

If anything, this place is the joke. There's no magic and yet we can speak from god knows how far apart. Writing is just tapping little letters. There is no sun, moon or stars. Everyone dresses the same bar for some colour variations. The food is stranger than anything I have ever seen and I once saw all our food turn to dust because Arthur thought killing a unicorn was a swell idea. Or Merlin's mum thought that porridge was supposed to taste like off milk.

[smoak]

Morgana, do you understand that there are ... hundreds of books and stories about you? Where I'm from, you, Arthur, Lancelot, you're all legends.

I just.

If you're real and here and breathing. That means we really are all clones. Recreated from history.

[lefey]

...No I did not. Though that explains the strange looks I get and can only presume you've been giving me for the last few minutes.

However, I don't see how that makes us clones. Stranger things could happen than people moving through time. They say the fey can alter time, I do not see why others could not move us through it.

[smoak]

[ She's taking it with style, Felicity will give her that. ]

Do you remember time traveling?!

[ Felicity already knows she's being unfair when she pushes send. A few seconds later: ]

I'm sorry.

[lefey]

No, I don't. I woke up here just like everyone else.

But you know, I do remember things that are surely stranger, and I know, without a doubt, that I am real, cloned body or not. Time travel or not.

Even magic exists here, that's what the "mutants" are.

[In spite of herself she can feel her hands shaking, the pdc feels unusually heavy in her hands. Morgana swallowed, shrugged though felicity couldn't see it and then added at the end of her message:]

It's fine. [Though what had been a perfectly amusing time trapped in hydroponics suddenly felt suffocating.]

[smoak]

[ She was normally so much better at this. Felicity doesn't doubt your current existence, Morgana, but it just seems ... useless now to talk about that.

She even believes the time travel part. She knows it can happen. But ughhh. She lets out a deep sigh, and a few of her fellow Encryption Breakers look over, concerned. ]

I didn't mean it like that Morgana. I...

I really am sorry.

[lefey]

It's fine, really.

[So that's a lie, and so is what follows. But what sort of discussion could they have so soon after that?]

My supervisor needs me. I'll talk to you again soon.

[smoak]

[ What could she even say after that? Bye?

So Felicity says nothing. ]
