Text - UN: Prodigy

[helpdesk_hero]

Just trying to take a quick tally here, because it's relevant. How many people here have had previous encounters with worlds or dimensions that, uh... 'borrow' you for a while. Basically, is this your first ride in the multi-verse of fucked up stuff, or are you experienced. If the latter, what was the last place like?

I'll start. I'm David Alleyne, I spent several months in a city called Dualis. I heard from some people there that they'd previously been in other places. So I have to assume this just... happens.

Anyway, mostly asking because the more we know, maybe the better chance we have of getting home.

Not... really. Not on mine. though I guess one could argue that there are divisions based on people being pretty seriously judgmental based on socio-political borders and faulty perceptions of 'race'.

Even if I 'pass' as human because my mutation was more mental than physical, I still got grief because I am 'black'. You'd get problems even though you're 'white' because you're a woman.

Earth is SO behind.

[biscuity]

Is that who made the androids?

[automatized]

Neither was it mine, but I'm learning.

And besides, not all of them would have the kind of experience we have in navigating this world. It doesn't hurt to try.

[swordsense]

Earth sounds so backwards, geez.

I don't really even know what to say to that.

[costumechanger]

I was kinda judging from there being a low percentage of people here who were taken from such places instead straight from home. Even if there's a lot of them, it makes a difference if there's one of these places to fifty normal worlds or one of these places to a thousand normal worlds, right?

[helpdesk_hero]

Illyana? No. She wasn't in that world. She's just the ruler of Limbo back home.

[helpdesk_hero]

It doesn't hurt to try until it does.

[helpdesk_hero]

Earth really is backwards.

[helpdesk_hero]

Given what I've seen of these places having the power to overwhelm literal gods on more than one occassion, I'm not sure even one of these to every thousand worlds is comforting.

[biscuity]

[ Clary's head hurts. ]

Is Libmo legitimate Limbo, like in between Heaven and Hell?
Or is it just an inconveniently named country?

[helpdesk_hero]

Limbo is actually the name of a very specific hell-dimension. Because there's more than one. Filled with demons and tortured souls and all that.

[swordsense]

I'm sorry to hear that, Prodigy.

[helpdesk_hero]

It's okay. It's a shithole, but it's mine?

[costumechanger]

Yeah, that's a yikes statement if I've ever seen one.

[swordsense]

Definitely understand that!

[helpdesk_hero]

Definitely a yikes statement. Plus the last one took powers away.

[helpdesk_hero]

I'm glad it's a sentiment that rings true.

[costumechanger]

Grife. It's bad enough that this place messed with my powers a bit, I'd hate to be stuck somewhere that got rid of them completely.

[helpdesk_hero]

You... get used to being merely human

[biscuity]

I'm familiar with some of the dimensions.

[ Not personally but from reading and learning at the Institute. ]

Was Limbo an intentional trip or an accidental one?

[helpdesk_hero]

A kidnapping. I happened to 'smell' like the lost scion of the current lord of Limbo.

[biscuity]

Talk about a really awful reason to end up in Hell.

[helpdesk_hero]

Yeah. It... was a very bad day.

[biscuity]

I feel like that's putting it VERY mildly.

[helpdesk_hero]

So very true. It was a bad day for me. But in the end, we all got home more or less with only mental trauma.
