The **multiverse** is an infinite realm that consists of every single universe that could possibly exist, partially due to quantum mechanics. Among these infinite universes are the Real World, the Alternate World and the Empty World, with Negative Space in between them.

In 2018, the multiverse was imbalanced by the Entity, a powerful being that resided in Negative Space.

## Trivia

* If anyone from any world travels to a different universe, a Restoring Demon will be created, and someone in Negative Space is chosen to restore order throughout the multiverse at that time.

Water Element

File:Andy levitating water.png
**Water** is the elemental power once used by Andy Lau in the Real World, and additionally used by Ellen O'Donnell.

In the Nowhere Boys gathered by Ben Ripley years later, the power was used by Jesse Banda.

## Description

Andy Lau discovers that he has this power. After returning from the Alternate World (which Felix's spell ultimately sent them to), he learns that he has water powers, being able to "control" any water around him, whether it's from a tap, or an esky. His thrive for power ultimately has him try to make himself stronger (so he can show his crush his new powers), which ends up sending him to Negative Space. Trying to get him back, the boys unwillingly create a Water Demon. Later, it is shown that Saskia Bloom (really a golem created by Alice) also has the element of water. Later, it is revealed that Ellen also has the potential for magic, as well as the element of water. At one stage, using a Binding Spell, Alice took all the boys powers and gave them to her sister, Phoebe Hartley (Real World), who temporarily had the powers of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Spirit.

## Abilities

People who are water elements have displayed the following powers:

* **Hydrokinesis** - Levitating and reshaping water. Used by Andy, Jesse, and Ellen to generate water for various reasons.
* **Atmokinesis** - Controlling weather, including reshaping clouds and controlling storms. Used by Alice and Ellen to generate atmospheric effects from rain to snow and lightning.
* **Cryokinesis** - Controlling ice, snow, and being able to freeze things.Used by Alice to freeze objects and trap people in thick lairs of ice.

## People with this element

* Jesse Banda
* Alice Hartley (Real World)
* Andy Lau Template:C
* Ellen O'Donnell (Real World)

## Trivia

* There are more known individuals who possess this power than any other element, with a total of 3 people.
* Saskia Bloom was originally believed to have this power, but she is later revealed to be earth.
* Phoebe Hartley (Real World) temporarily gained this power after the use of Alice's Binding Spell.

## Incantations

The original incantation used by Felix:

"*Water, Fire, Earth, Air. Water, Fire, Earth, Air. Elements that we all share. Water wash our sins away. Earth guide us to a place. Wind brings with it fear. Flames of Fire we must face. Walk upon this Earth again, walk upon this Earth again, walk upon this Earth again. Walk upon this Earth again, walk upon this Earth again, walk upon this Earth again.*"

"*Divinity of the elements, I summon thee. Through this world, we can see. Another place where we can be. Take the fire make it burn, take the air and make it turn. Take this water and this earth, and to another world call us forth. Earth, Water, Fire, Air. Earth, Water, Fire, Air.*"

Building Sites Bite

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building\_Sites\_Bite

https://archive.org/details/building-sites-bite

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1756436/

A 1978 British film by the Health and Safety Executive. It was commissioned by the Health and Safety Executive following the deaths of around 20 young children on building sites in the previous year. The film was made to discourage youngsters from playing near derelict areas and construction works.

## Synopsis:

Young Ronald's cousins imagine how he might meet his end on a building site if his evident lack of awareness of the dangers is ever put into practice. The informative film focuses entirely on the perspective of Ronald, a young boy who aspires to become a builder or surveyor when he grows up. His cousins Paul and Jane decide to test Ronald's know-it-all attitude by teleporting him to a building site, where Ronald must avoid several hazards and obstacles without getting hurt. In each test Ronald disobeys various warning signs and ignores the dangers, resulting in him getting killed in each one. Each time Ronald is about to die a heartbeat sound is played to warn sensitive viewers. In order, Ronald's deaths are displayed as him being buried alive in a trench collapse, electrocuted in a condemned building, run over by an earthmoving vehicle, breaking his skull against a metal retaining wall, crushed to death by a pile of bricks and finally drowning in a disused quarry. Back in the real world, Ronald announces he intends to abandon his ambitions, and goes outside to play with Paul and Jane. Over the closing shot of the film, Paul reads out real-life stories of children who were killed in similar ways to those seen in the film.

## Children Killed On Building Sites Year Before This Film:

1. Andrew (11)-crushed by a falling manhole ring
2. Peter (8)-run over by a bulldozer
3. Emma (5)-drowned in a water-filled excavation
4. Louise (6)-fell through the floor of a half-demolished house

6. Sheila (8)-buried in a trench collapse
7. Keith (10)-drowned after boating on a water-filled pit
8. Robert (5)-run over by an earth-moving vehicle
9. Tony (9)-crushed by falling bricks

Runtime: 28 minutes

Content Advisory: Contains graphic depictions of building site accidents and a scene where a boy drowns in a body of water

Trivia:

Because of the style of filming and grim subject matter, it is often compared to the earlier films *Apaches* and *The Finishing Line*, both released the previous year.

> It's not funny!*"
> "*It is a bit.

> Nicco and Jesse, What Happened to Bremin?

**Jesse Banda** is a musical theatre geek, and a Restoring Demon active in Negative Space. His element is water, although he wishes he was fire.

## Personality

Jesse is a theater geek and "not-so-masculine." He is often dramatic, and acts as if many things are an opportunity to be so. He is generally nice to his friends, and one of the most compassionate members of the group, showing concern for Good Ben especially. He additionally has a tendency to be sarcastic whenever he's annoyed.

Jesse has a passion for the mystery of the original Bremin Four. He is constantly trying to convince the others that what happened to them is related to the disappearance of the original Nowhere Boys.

## Biography

In 2017, Jesse's parents went overseas, and he lived with his sister, Quinn Banda, who was training to be a fashion designer. He had been best friends with Nicco Pandelis for a very long time at this point.

## Powers and abilities

Jesse is a water element. He originally only used the power to turn faucets on and off, but after a summer of magical training he could make water spheres and direct them as high speed projectiles. He used this skill when battling the entity when it was still the Nematodes.

## Trivia

* Jesse has written, produced and starred in a school musical titled *Lost in the Forest*, the story of the Bremin Four from years before. He created the play as he believed something "eerie" had occurred, although others — such as Brooklyn Wansbrough and Ben Ripley — seemed to disagree.
* Jesse is diabetic, a fact he wished to keep secret from the Nowhere Boys but was known by Niccolina.
