So I was wondering...

Has anyone here been to a world that's not their own before? Or been to a place like this, with people from a lot of different worlds?

Also hands up if you've died before, I'm kind of curious. Since death's supposedly not permanent in this place, I was wondering. Bonus points if you've died in one of those worlds that brings in people from multiple worlds.

(Points are not going to actually be awarded, before you even ask.)

Also for the record my answers are yes, yes, and yes - five times.

wow, heh heh heh, ok.
gotta admit, i was wondering when we could expect the opening act for something like this.
grats on the most unique ice-breaker, new user.

I guess it's weird if you haven't done worldhopping or been in somewhere like the Tower.

I thought I might as well ask, though.

[wolfstrike]

Not sure how you're supposed to raise your hand on this thing.

But yeah, I died here once.

[miseris_socios]

Figure of speech.

... You come back okay?

[villainsgonnavill]

There's a real differentiation happening between going to another world and getting volunteered to hang in a multiversal nexus thing. I can respect that.

Haven't done either of those before as of YET. I was about a day from hopping over to another world before this whole mess went down, though.

text;

[miseris_socios]

Yeah, true. The first one only happened after about two and a half years of the second.

Oh? That's pretty cool. It wasn't possible to world hop in my world from what I'm aware of until really recently...

These are very personal questions. You would do better to ask people in private.

[miseris_socios]

You don't have to answer them if you don't want to.

[nonhero]

Yes, yes, and yes. First time in that other world--where they WANTED you to die repeatedly and suffer a lot, fun times. Got eaten by my best friend, don't recommend. Second time was here, consumed by goo.

I guess I'm extra tasty.

[miseris_socios]

Yeah some of my friends tried to kill me repeatedly. We got messed with a lot and death was expected.

It's a pain in the ass. I haven't died here yet - you came back okay, though?

[ishotyouuu]

excuse me while i savor the irony of u asking people to put their hands up through text

i just think its hilarious all things considered

anyway i think i need u to be a little more specific

do u mean like flatlining brain functions and lack of heartbeat dead or the whole rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible dead

[miseris_socios]

You're the second one to say something like that, I shouldn't have used a figure of speech.

As in 'not waking up without outside assistance and it's not a coma' dead. Not like 'went to the afterlife and got yanked back' dead. So the first I guess.

I think that's a pretty normal answer. It's not a bad one. It's not really something that most people have dealt with, I guess.

[break_the_ice]

World not mine? Let's see... I've been into the Vex machine brain, Crota's graveworld, several alternate timelines. And that's not even counting visiting Mars, Venus, and Mercury.

But I suppose this is the first time I've ever come to a place with other people like this.

As for the dying? Any time I'm in the field, I usually die three or four times. I'm only really watching out here because of the darkness.

[miseris_socios]

I guess I should have said 'universe'. I forgot space travel was a thing in other places. But alternate timelines? That's not something I hear often.

... Do you get revived by a teammate or something? I've got revival skills, but it's not really what I was thinking of...

Yes. Twice now. Vatheon was the first world, the second was less of a world and more of the remnants of one that had suffered a great calamity that sent pieces of itself in to the sky.

People died and were brought back in Vatheon as it was meant to be an experiment of sorts. The same did not happen in the Bastion. People who died there were never seen or heard from again.

I never died myself, though.

[miseris_socios]

[It takes a few minutes for him to respond. Another place with experiments?]

Okay. So the second place... that sounds like it's pretty terrible.

But the first place - Vatheon? - did you at least manage to wreck the experiments and get them to stop?

[ourlegends]

Other worlds?

... Yeah, I've been to a few. My husband and I both.

I haven't died yet, but ... I've come close a few times.

text;

[miseris_socios]

What kind of other worlds?

text;

[concasse]

No across the board

Never thought I'd count myself as that lucky

[miseris_socios]

I guess the multiverse just likes you or something. Congratulations.

[Well that's one way to start a conversation. Should he be offering condolences to the currently-alive multiply-deceased?]

Yes, yes, and no. Before I was summoned here I'd ended up in a place called the bastion along with people from a bunch of other worlds.

[He wants to ask what dying feels like but that's probably inappropriate.]

[Text]

[miseris_socios]

[Nah it's cool, Rob.]

Another one from the Bastion. Huh. That's a lot more people from the same world than I would have thought. I wonder why so many of you guys are here.

[Well, the kid answered his own questions first, that's always a good sign. One of his brothers is here and knows, so might as well just answer.]

zeno's answers are no, no, and what do you mean by dead

if dead is 'would have killed someone else'

then zeno has died too many times to count

zeno never tried keeping track

zeno is sorry

[For Ken experiencing being brought back. Maybe it's different, maybe Ken didn't just start healing, but Zeno remembers the first time he died. Zeno never wanted anyone else to have to experience being unable to die.

But, there isn't a statue of Zeno here. All those deaths are from home.]

As in your body stopped functioning.

But that's fine. Sounds pretty awful, though.
