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?

Don't really have anyone here from my home but I've heard it can be years of difference between two people.

And that no one remembers someone going missing.

[Okay, he didn't hear it from anyone HERE but that was always true in other worlds like this he's visited.]

[justbeingknife]

Years? That's one hell of a time difference.

And the one from the past wouldn't remember themselves bein' missing and coming back, either?

[skyofreverie]

Yeah, it happens. Though I think it's most common when people are from the same year. Though a lot can happen in just a few months.

Usually not. Chances are when we leave, we won't remember anything about this place. It'll be like we never left at all.

[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.

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]

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.

[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.

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?

[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.]

\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?

[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.

[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]

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.

[beyourzoomer]

Some kind of portal or something, I guess?

[She wants to say gateway but she doesn't dare.]

I mean, what are the other options?

[Really, if there are other options, she's interested in hearing them. All the sitting around in total silence is making her crazy.]

[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.

[Well, he certainly doesn't know anything about that weird timeline shit (lolol), but...]

When the group I came with got here, the only other people around were the natives. Are you saying there were different people around before us?

[justbeingknife]

Oh yeah. Jake was talkin' about portals.

Only the closest thing to a portal I've seen so far is that Reset Room, and it seems like people disappear when they ain't near it, too.
