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.

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.

[biscuity]

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

[helpdesk_hero]

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

[biscuity]

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. ]

[helpdesk_hero]

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.]

[biscuity]

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.

[helpdesk_hero]

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.

[biscuity]

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.

[helpdesk_hero]

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

[biscuity]

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

[helpdesk_hero]

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

[biscuity]

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

[helpdesk_hero]

If you ever think of an idea, tell me.

[biscuity]

I will, don't worry.

[helpdesk_hero]

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

[biscuity]

I've gotten that vibe so far, too.

[helpdesk_hero]

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

[biscuity]

Guess we got lucky this time around.

[helpdesk_hero]

I hope our luck sticks around.

[biscuity]

Fingers crossed!
