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.

Questions are important. You can't learn without them. You can't get answers.

I'm a thinker. We always ask. That's how you know whether the AI that wants you to have sex is trying to actually kill you.

[softheartedshizun]

That is rather fair. I suppose I just prefer to see how things go and take appropriate actions when the need arises.

[It was less effort that way, and he was just very easy going. Maybe a bit too easy going.]

[helpdesk_hero]

[Less effort wasn't a good thing. Preventative is more important. Otherwise, you know, you get killed by robots that look like you. Paranoia has become his watch word.]

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of remedy.

[Alas Shen Qingqiu wasn't overly worried about such things, but then perhaps dying a few times already just didn't quite make it as scary to him, not that he wanted to die permanently]

But of course. But, can you really prevent the plot of something?

[helpdesk_hero]

[And here David had only died once.]

I can try.

[softheartedshizun]

That is quite admirable.

[helpdesk_hero]

Perhaps. But really, the goal is to be successful. To get home.

[softheartedshizun]

I suppose learning how we came to be here would be helpful in figuring out how to reverse it.

I wonder if there's a way to find that out.

[helpdesk_hero]

There's a saying back home. Where there's a will, there's a way. I don't know if I believe it though.

[softheartedshizun]

I suppose if one works hard they can achieve many amazing feats.

But, fate also plays a role in things that are meant to be.

[helpdesk_hero]

I don't believe in fate. ANd I'm saying that as a friend of a guy fated to be a god. So, maybe I'm just crazy.
