Text - UN: Prodigy

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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

I feel like that's putting it VERY mildly.

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.

I thought you said you died there. Was it not permanent?

I have a friend who is biokinetic. He was there, he brought me back to life.

That's really lucky. I'm glad he was there with you.

[ And though they don't really even know each other, Clary genuinely means that. People should die old and in bed after living a full, happy life. ]

Well, he was kidnapped with me and the others. So yes, almost lucky.

[The real luck was how the guy knew everything needed to cure what was wrong with David.]

Okay, yeah, that might be a bit of a strong word.
But hey, I know firsthand that getting kidnapped is a lot easier to deal with if you've got a friend at your side.

It was a very interesting situation to deal with. I... don't like remembering it very much. But at least I can say we're not in that hell dimension.

That's really good to know.
And sorry if my constant questioning made you uncomfortable.
Next time, please feel free to tell me to shut up if I'm bothering you.

[ She'd like to say she's not normally that nosy, but it would be a lie. ]

It's fine. It's more... a privacy thing. But I didn't have to say anything. I don't blame you.

Good, but I still mean it - if I ever push too hard, please tell me to back off and I will. :)

I assure you I will. But I've got a pretty strong tolerance for these things these days. Perhaps too much of one.

I'd offer to help you take it down a notch or two, but I'm not really sure how we'd do that.

If you ever think of an idea, tell me.

I will, don't worry.

Good. We're all working together here. I think.

I've gotten that vibe so far, too.

Good to hear. It took some doing in the last place I was to convince people of that.

Guess we got lucky this time around.

I hope our luck sticks around.
