UN: @kyouken // Back when I was a brat, I found a sparrow with a broken leg and took it home

[justbeingknife]

Seems like a couple people here have been showin' up with folks they know from back home. I was figurin' that since they came from the same place, they were also from just about the same time -- but from what I been hearing, that ain't necessarily the case.

So if you're from the 'future' compared to someone ya know here, lemme ask ya this: do you remember that other person going missing?

I also heard that there were people who came here before us, but it tapered off before starting back up again last month. But how long was that dry spell? Would anyone from back then be around?

[justbeingknife]

Are you kidding me.

How the fuck does that work?! And how come you're so calm about it?

[skyofreverie]

Afraid not.

And um... Sometimes you don't go straight home. Sometimes, like me, you go to a different world instead of going home.

[justbeingknife]

Wait, so you've done this before? How the hell're you supposed to get home, then?

[ He's got bills to pay! He's got dogs to put through college! ]

[skyofreverie]

[Majima, you've asked the question of the year.]

If I knew the answer to that, I wouldn't be here. But it isn't something that happens to a lot of people so you shouldn't worry about it. Out of 150 people, I'm the only one who ended up here.

[And it keeps happening to him.]

[justbeingknife]

Yeah, great. I'll try my best to not worry about gettin' my brain wiped.

[ He was feeling kind of sore about this. ]

...But that means I'm due to forget about everyone here whenever it is I disappear. That blows.

[skyofreverie]

Yeah. Forgetting is hard.

[Remembering is worse.]

Even when you're gone, the people still here will remember you. And you could always keep a record of everything. Maybe won't be as good as actually knowing what happened but you'd have a pretty good idea.

[justbeingknife]

I guess, but you're right -- it really ain't the same.

It'd be better if the people back here forgot about ya. I could take that.

[skyofreverie]

No it's not.

I've forgotten people before and everything we'd been through. It's not much better than being forgotten.

[justbeingknife]

[ kanyeshrug, agree to disagree. this dude was okay being forgotten for 17+ years ]

Sorry to hear it. Sounds like you've had it pretty rough.

[skyofreverie]

[Once upon a time, Sora would have been okay with it. But he isn't going to try to change anyone's mind.]

Yeah, but that's life. Can't stop just because it got a little rough.

[That's what he has to tell himself every morning.]

Another monster dimension? [Because that's starting to feel like the only dimensions that exist.]


[Hope this threadhop was okay!]

:|b

[justbeingknife]

Whattaya mean another monster dimension?

<3

[beyourzoomer]

Like this one?

[justbeingknife]

Yeah, I already know about this one. But the one I'm from, there's definitely no monsters runnin' around chasing down everyone who makes a peep.

I thought that was normal.

[beyourzoomer]

I hope that's the norm. [Especially if she ends up somewhere else instead of home. A world without monsters of any kind would be a nice change.]

[justbeingknife]

Man

What if a bunch of people are zipping around to alternate universes like this one? If what Sora says is true, they wouldn't even remember. And no one'd miss 'em.

[beyourzoomer]

I don't know whether to find that fascinating, horrifying, or brain-breaking.

Probably all three.

[justbeingknife]

Yeah. And what's causin' all this, anyhow?

Yep. Think I just ended up with more questions than answers.

But it don't seem right to sit around waiting to magically get swapped back to where I was.

a-okay~

[skyofreverie]

Yeah, that can happen. There are a lot that have monsters but not all of them.

Have you been to a different kind of world besides this one and your home world?

\O/

[beyourzoomer]

[Those odds don't sound great if you ask her.]

No. Just home and this one.

[And there are different kinds of monsters at home.]

How many other places have you been?

[skyofreverie]

[Technically every world has monsters - some are just human-shaped.]

Your world has monsters?

[He isn't surprised to hear that.]

42. The first 25 all belong in the same dimension mine does, 12 were replicas of other worlds cities and came complete with their monsters, and the final 5 are worlds like this one.

I left my world at 14 and have only been back once in the last 6 years.

[beyourzoomer]

[That's mostly the kind she's talking about. The demogorgons weren't from her world, after all. They were from another monster dimension.]

Just the human kind. You know, serial killers, terrorists... [Asshole step-families.]

42!? Holy shit.

[Her eyes are so wide right now. That's a ton of dimensions.]

[skyofreverie]

[Sora's world has some monster-people too... though he isn't sure he'd classify Xehanort as a serial killer. Maybe a terrorist.]

That sucks.

It's a lot, right? And when I do get home, I'll add more. Traveling to different worlds is sorta in my job description.

[beyourzoomer]

It's life, right?

[She thinks about that for a moment.]

So, normally this is something you can do because you want to? You can control whether you go to other worlds?

[skyofreverie]

Yep.

Usually! I sorta accidentally left my home world when I was 14 and ended up in another one, where I met some people who had a ship that could travel between worlds. Unfortunately there have been worlds that I couldn't leave and this might be one of them. Though I'm not gonna stop looking for a way out.
