...GM, please do us all a kindness and not have to walk through potty-training a 15 year old. Can he please just know toilets?

It's not paranoia if we really are trying to kick Lucifer in the hypothetical nuts.

Heaven help me but I'm actually starting to rather like this guy. As alien eldritch monstrosities go, he's a keeper.

First, we have no idea what magic we have so we don't know if we could hypothetically fly at all.
Second, I don't think Tatsuya spent a hundred years in a wasteland without knowing that humans cannot fly, naturally.
...
By the way, Tatsuya doesn't know how to swim, right? or at least forgot about it since he might have done that as a toddler.

Hadn't really thought of that which is Weird because one of the big Witches I have planed is in a mostly aquatic dungeon. I'm going to go with 'not well'. It's a survival skill but not one that he used very often.

Homura broke physics. Who knows. Maybe humans could fly in that wasteland. They apparently didn't need water.

Now that we actually have some idea what we're doing, I think getting better at information gathering is more important than zooming off in the middle of the night after any random magical girl that shows up near Mami (showing up near Madoka might be more of an issue).

Or on fire, or toxic.

Homura was not good at managing physics. Or ecology.

So basically, everything outside of Homura's little doll house was in full "Raistlin Majere Overgod timeline" mode.
For those who don't know what I'm talking about, Raistlin Majere was a... rather dour and humorless fellow, possibly in part because his life was a never-ending rollercoaster of shit being dumped on his head. His mother died because she trusted a fake preacher's advice. His big, strong, popular Labrador of an older brother unwittingly intensified his feelings of alienation and misanthropy over and over again (for example, Raistlin's first crush ended when he accidentally came across said big brother porking said crush in a garden shed; his brother never knew Raistlin even liked the girl).

When he finally managed to parlay his nigh-superhuman intellect into becoming an apprentice wizard, the supernatural ordeal they put him through to 'prove his worth' convinced the proctor it was necessary to dye his skin a sickly gold color, turn his hair white, nuke his lungs so thoroughly he'd die of pulmonary hemorrhaging without constant medical intervention, and give him horrible cursed goat-eyes that see everything and everyone in a state of constant putrefaction and entropic decay.

Eventually, Raistlin got fed up with reality's shit and decided to become a god via a borderline Tzeentchian scheme that would let him jump the goddess of evil in her home plane and basically eat her. Unfortunately, this upset some of the other gods. So he ate them too. That scared the hell out of the rest of the gods, so Raistlin ended up wiping them all out in self-defense. By that point, the world was pretty thoroughly screwed from the fallout of all the deicide, so Raistlin, now basically the Overgod of the entire setting, decided to fix it all up with his new god-powers.

Unfortunately, having phenomenal cosmic power doesn't mean you know how to use it; if you've ever read Mistborn, think the Lord Ruler's fuckups without any of the repair work. If you haven't, imagine trying to play Jenga with a backhoe. All Raistlin managed to do was finish off the already-dying world, leaving him as the lone survivor (except for the guy who cursed him during that ordeal I mentioned earlier; Raistlin kind of made him immortal and then set him on fire). From there, he decided to create new lifeforms to populate the ruins of his world, but...

Well, here's the closest he managed to get to succeeding on that particular project.



Yeah. The whole mess was so bad that the only way to fix it was by retconning it all away via time-travel, with the mild side-effect of forcing past Raistlin to trap himself in the Abyss and let the goddess of evil torture his immortal soul for the foreseeable future.

Definitely not that bad. Yet.
