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.

you aspiring to be a fisher? because this is just loaded with hooks.
so what now?
wait for everybody to air out their dirty laundry?
compare their battle scars?
determine the winner of the suffering olympics with a battle royale?

[ It's a beautiful day for sliding into old, judgmental habits. ]

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

But yeah, I died here once.

[Do not go all Judgement on him, he's Justice arcana.]

Nah. It's not like I'm forcing anyone to answer. Comparing experiences is mostly what I'm curious about. Not to one up. But sometimes it's easier if you have someone who's been there.

I'm not the kind of person who blackmails other people. I got specifically pushed away from anything even close to that at home.

Don't try to bait me. I've got bigger fish to fry than trying to make someone else miserable.

Figure of speech.

... You come back okay?

If you can call freaking out and not being able to sleep for days okay, then yeah.

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.

That's usually how it goes the first time around, from what I've seen.

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...

Sounds like you see that kinda stuff a lot.

I was in the Tower for about two and a half years. People died all the time from all sorts of things.

And they always came back too?

Yeah. Well, kind of. In new bodies. Cloned bodies. Only our souls were really us.

That's pretty creepy.

Yeah, no kidding. It was super weird for a while... then we got used to it.

[ now THAT'S an interesting take. ]

eh, giving you a b on this one.
for blackmail, bait, and some other b word.
when it comes to whipping out a death count and comparing with the rest of class?
i don't really know what anybody intends on accomplishing but sure.
whatever floats your boat, which, hey! lookit that.
it's another b word.

Play me another tuna. If you don't like it, don't read it. First rule of the internet.

Anyway, real point: I'm trying to figure out how this place works, how other places like this work, and if there's any connection. The last thing I want is this to be another freaky land of experiments where the food disappears when the month turns over. I'm no scientist - hell, I never even finished elementary school.

The death count thing's more like a way to figure out if there's other people I can count on if things get dangerous. If you've died before, you've got less to be afraid of.

man, didja listen to poor ozzy or just breeze outta the altar room when you first showed up?
no experiments here except the leftover spaghetti growing something at the back of the cold fridge.
and uh, i dunno about you
but there's a fair few who died for some pretty dumb reasons.
not that i've got a beef with them, but that's not something i'd go steaking my life on.
the rest? pretty determined bunch, and most of them with battle AND puzzle experience, both of which you need around here.

I listened. I just don't trust him. If I trusted every nice-seeming guy I met, I'd be dead permanently probably a bunch of times over.

And yeah it's not that I mean they're the only ones I'd call. Just that there's a certain sort of recklessness that can come in handy. Not all the time. But some of the time.

so you'll trust whatever you read on the 'net instead.
sure, makes perfect sense.
gonna branch off topic for a sec, go out on a limb here and guess you're a kid, right?

I trust my fellow 'recruits' more than I trust the people recruiting us.

[There's a... significant pause.]

That depends what you mean by 'kid', and why you're asking. If you mean "are you physically and/or have existed for under sixteen years", then yes.

If you mean "are you someone who I can instantly dismiss and/or not take seriously because you don't meet some arbitrary age requirement", then no.

brown hair?

Wow. Stalker much?

Rude little squirt, ain'tcha?

[ There's a low rumble -- good-natured, amused, thoroughly casual -- droning from one of the bookshelves, and there's a figure standing in its shadow. Short, round, slouching there like standing up straight is too much of a bother. Seems he's bald, too, but there's not enough light there to give him much more detail. ]

What, you think you're the ONLY one allowed to round up info?

Kids these days.
