Gravity, weather, various other given forces went haywire. One of the shuttles crashed. Not everyone made it. [ the shuttle crashed only actually claimed one life - the rest was still chaotic enough to have people lost ]
If the options are addiction or getting our asses kicked by any random stray harpy-thing that comes along, I know which one I'd choose.

No, I mean I do know what I can do here, I've already tested that shit. I just never did at home. It wasn't like there were a lot of monsters popping out of the sky there.

I am packing, god. Shockingly, I can text and pack at the same time.
FROM: collins.chase@cdc.org
Did anyone get left behind on that last planet or whatever?
no subject
Then you're not packing hard enough.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Some. Things don't always go right. [ crashed shuttle. here's hoping they triple checked them this time. ]
no subject
Not everyone's normal and boring, you know. I'm packing just fine without the use of my thumbs.
[Magic packing. Truly an awe-inspiring use of phenomenal cosmic powers!]
FROM: collins.chase@cdc.org
Oh my god you can't just be that vague. What even happened?
no subject
Cheating.

Don't be jealous.
FROM: collins.chase@cdc.org
Actually, do.
[What a shithead.]
FROM: collins.chase@cdc.org
Oh. Well, I'm pretty good at causing crashes, I can probably prevent one.
[Probably.................]
no subject
That you're a lazy ass? No, I'm good.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Then you can go stand by the shuttles, when they show up, after you're done packing.
no subject
I mean, if you enjoy pointless struggling, that's your business.
FROM: collins.chase@cdc.org
I'd probably have to be in it. You know they cut my range? Like what the fuck?
no subject
Well, I'm not crippled by addiction, so. Fair.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
What did your range used to be?
no subject
I've seen all those alcoholics anonymous pamphlets, so...
FROM: collins.chase@cdc.org
I don't know. Never found the limit.
no subject
Yet 'crippled by' still only applies to one of us.

That'd be good to figure out sooner, rather than later, in the middle of a fight.

Fair enough. Luckily we have you, so the rest of use don't have to worry about either.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Really? It was, what, just a normal world, except for witch powers added in?
no subject
You're lucky I think you're cute, or you wouldn't get away with that.
FROM: collins.chase@cdc.org
As far as I could ever tell... yeah.
no subject
It's impressive what levels of narcissism you manage to reach while still taking yourself seriously.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
So, essentially, you could have owned that world.
no subject
I don't take anything seriously. Especially not myself.
FROM: collins.chase@cdc.org
I guess. That's your thing, though. I don't really give a shit, ruling over everything or whatever just sounds boring.
FROM: collins.chase@cdc.org
Also there's that whole dying thing that happens. So.
no subject
Maybe you ought to start.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
It's overrated.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
That would be a downside. The CDC must have been a godsend, then.
