It's been like 20 minutes oof
So Milo (he goes by the last name Lumic but that's not his actual last name, it's his friends. He uses it because he doesn't know his real last name) has like medium dark skin, high cheekbones and sort of sharp features, narrow green eyes, and floofy black hair. He's slender and muscular and tall and doesn't usually smile.
His mother died from an accidental drug overdose when he was 2, and his father severely abused him for years until he finally ran away from home when he was 11. He lived on the streets until he was 16, when he finally agreed to let his 19 year of friend Amber take him in. They ended up bonding even more and he loves her more than anything, she's like a sister to him and he'd give his life for her in a heartbeat. He also hasn't seen or heard of his father since he ran away.

@basil_

Ahh so like I said before, I was thinking of Robin meeting Milo and then Milo's just like oops magic and Robin's like whoa what is going on here and things ensue. (i'm sorry that sucked so much)

@basil_

oh, oof. Yeah so I was thinking Robin would just be wandering around or be taking a walk or something and run into Milo. Sorry it's really vague..

@basil_

(I can start it)
(sorry if my writing is crap rn i'm feeling ahhfsjddfasjfdh)
(okay one quick question before I start, so if Robin is non-binary would I refer to them as they/them in writing?)

@SaltyLasagna

(pronouns are a tricky thing, so it really depends on how your character feels about their gender. I personally usually go by they/them bc I'm non binary as well, but sometimes when I don't care as much I'll just go by she)

@basil_

(ok it depends I think. I might make them she or he it depends.)
(I'll start now)

Robin walked slowly along the path, singing as they looked around up into the trees. It was around six pm, their favorite time of day.

@SaltyLasagna

Milo fiddled with the sleeves of his jacket, looking around. It was cold out, and music was playing softly through his headphones. He walked quickly along the sidewalk, not able to relax and slow himself down, even though he wasn't in a hurry and had nowhere to be. He was just constantly tense and on edge.

@basil_

Robin shivered a bit and pulled their hood up over their head, pulling the sleeves of the dark blue hoodie over their hands.

@SaltyLasagna

Milo wasnt' really paying attention to where he was going. He should've been. He should've been much more careful, since he knew he was in a world packed with regular, mundane humans, most of which have never seen magic in their entire short lives. However, he hadn't been paying attention, which caused him to crash into a fairly young (girl? boy? Milo couldn't tell) person on the sidewalk. He yelped in surprise, body igniting with green flames before quickly disappearing, leaving Milo completely unharmed.

@SaltyLasagna

Milo inhaled sharply. They saw that? He thought as he quickly stood up, brushing himself off. "I'm very sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going that's all that was," he explained, hoping the person would brush the incident off as their mind playing tricks on them.

@basil_

Robin stumbled to their feet, realized how short they were compared to the guy. "But you went all pssshh and burst into flames! What was that about?!" They said, not mad, but curious.

@SaltyLasagna

"Maybe you should get your head checked out, I think you might have hit it on the way down." He kept his face passive, not letting any emotion show in fear of giving away his secret. Oh, now you fucked up, he thought.

@SaltyLasagna

"You didn't. You're seeing things. I'm a normal man that accidentally crashed into you on the street, and I apologize for that." He pursed his lips and shoved his hands in his pockets, averting his vibrant green eyes. She really isn't giving up… "Maybe you should get some help."

@SaltyLasagna

(I changed the pronouns, sorry)
He glared at her, turning his dimensional mirror over in his hand, thinking for a moment. He could just bounce out of this reality right now and leave them stranded here, never knowing what exactly happened, but if he left now, he'd run the risk of accidentally dragging them along with him into a parallel universe. But what other option did he have, other than saying 'nothing happened' over and over again?
(is it okay if he does this?)

@basil_

(tis okay and yes you can do that)

"You gonna say anything?" They said, crossing their arms and looking up at Milo.

@SaltyLasagna

"No," he said, before flipping open his mirror and hoping for the best as he looked into it. Please don't look in the mirror, please don't look in the mirror, he thought, hoping the small person wouldn't get curious and glance at the reflection, taking them with Milo into the parallel universe.

@SaltyLasagna

"God dammit," he growled, feeling a tug on his chest and sighing before flipping the mirror shut. The universe seemed to bend for a moment, folding in on itself before unfolding into a place that looked… almost the same, but the streets were trashed, the sidewalks were trashed, and people everywhere were walking down the sidewalk, covered in flames of various colors. Arguments in alleys, stores, and in the middle of the streets were heard everywhere. It was a typical day in this universe, it seemed like.
