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.

My name as a mutant.

[swordsense]

Oh cool!

I don't know what that means in context, but it sounds awesome.

[helpdesk_hero]

There are more than just humans on my Earth. But uh... Well, it means that it's my name among my race.

[swordsense]

Oh you're from Earth too?

I'm not. But Etheria has all sorts of different people. Not just humans.
So I get that.

Very cool, Prodigy.

[helpdesk_hero]

Last place I was had a far larger percentage of us from Earth than elsewhere.

All sorts of people as in they are actually distinct species?

[swordsense]

Yeah.

They have animalistic features. Fur, or scales, or cat-claws and tails. Just to name a few.

I've been getting the sense that that is weird.

[helpdesk_hero]

There are mutants like that back home too. So no, it's something i'd take in stride and consider my metaphorical brothers and sisters.

[swordsense]

Fair enough.

Are there a lot of degrees of separation on Earth, then?

[helpdesk_hero]

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.

[swordsense]

Earth sounds so backwards, geez.

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

[helpdesk_hero]

Earth really is backwards.

[swordsense]

I'm sorry to hear that, Prodigy.

[helpdesk_hero]

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

[swordsense]

Definitely understand that!

[helpdesk_hero]

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