In some of my conversations with others, I've noted that people who arrive here seem to be from very different places. Different planets doesn't feel entirely surprising to me, but I've met a few from my planet - Earth - who are either from varying years or even what seems to be alternate timelines.

Is this sort of thing normal to anyone here? Something you've had experience with? This place doesn't seem like it has the technology for something as advanced as manipulating time and space, but I guess looks can be deceiving.

For those of you from Earth, I'm curious about a few things:

What year was it for you?
What was the state of the planet? I.E. global warming, population, food supplies, etc
Had the government taken any steps to fix the state of the planet?

I'd like to hear more about worlds that aren't Earth as well, if anyone is willing to share, but as I don't know the science or the history, I can't really ask specific questions to compare it to my own home.

I had a lot of spare time, shut up.

You're really old.

[oorah]

smart and funny. who knew?

[accessdata]

What I lack in strength I try to make up for in charm and wit. It comes in handy.

[oorah]

then i must be unstoppable with that algorithm [ shit frank knows big words!! ]

[accessdata]

Be still my heart, he can sound like a nerd.

[oorah]

[ eye. roll. ] i got a question about your world
you have any of those freaks? like superpowered guys (and ladies)?

[accessdata]

Not that I'm aware of.

[oorah]

i guess you might not know. but there seem to be a lot here. almost like it was intentional.

[accessdata]

It does end up looking pretty suspicious.

[oorah]

no shit. though i guess that doesn't explain why they dragged losers like us in.

[ you know the computer genius and the unstoppable gi joe. they won't come in handy at all. someone woke up bitter today ok ]

[accessdata]

[ This reply take a while. A long while. Almost like she might have ignored this entirely for a bit there. ]

I don't know, but I'm grateful for it, personally.

[oorah]

you're grateful to be in this silent hellhole? [ frank's already forgotten feeling the same way, the first day. of course shit had hit the fan pretty quickly for him after that. but-- no. he doesn't get where friday could be going with this. doesn't even have anything close to a hunch. ]

[accessdata]

Yes. I am. Silence isn't the worst thing to have to endure.

[oorah]

nope. silence is the best goddamn part of this place. the rest is the hell part.

[accessdata]

Is it? It feels pretty normal to me.
But I guess I haven't been spending a lot of time exploring things to see much.

[ aka she's locked herself in her garage and just tried to fuck with the tech. ]

[oorah]

it's not normal
how can you say any of this is normal?

[accessdata]

Minus the Room's abilities to bring people back to life after they've died and the crazy people with super powers, things aren't too dissimilar from what I'm used to at home.
Stay quiet so the unseen bad guys don't hear you and come kill you; live off of whatever you can find because supplies are low; the people in charge never tell you what's actually going on so you just have to figure things out for yourself; people being generally crazy because everyone's frustrated and no one knows how to change their situation. [ ... She's still not sure what to make of the whole Jessica/Kilgrave stuff okay. ]

Going outside regularly is kind of nice though.

[oorah]

[ oh god there's so much here he hates. here we g o ] you can't go outside regularly?

remind me never to complain about anything around you again.

[accessdata]

Once a week. It wasn't so bad. The world's a little overwhelming.

[oorah]

[ look, there's something these sad sacs can agree on. ] you can say that again

[accessdata]

[ the healthiest of bonding points ]

I prefer computers.

[oorah]

noticed that.

you would get along with a friend of mine.

[accessdata]

Are they a computer?

[ LOOK a joke. there was an attempt. ]

[oorah]

he might as well be.
