USER: #DC143C - QUESTION FOR EVERYONE

[lonered]

[ USER: #DC143C ]

Hey. So...

...

Question for anyone. Or for everyone I guess.

How sure are you that you're still alive? Back where you're from I mean.

Like on a scale from 1 to 10. Where 1 is "I definitely died" and 10 is "I'm definitely still alive" and everything in between.

Thanks in advance. I know it's a weird question. I just... I gotta know.



[He's asked some folks, but the results so far are mixed. And Keith needs to figure out one way or another if this is just some weird unexpected afterlife, and he's at a solid 2.5 on his own scale so he's wondering.]

so you're a pilot basically.
and also someone who takes out ship bases.
what do you actually do back where you are from?

10. definitely 10. we were in the middle of something but there was nothing happening that could have killed us.

and where would you rate yourself? if you're a 1 i should warn you that i know of at least one person [Her best friend.] who is deathly afraid of ghost and they'll shoot first and ask questions later so you best not mention that to them.

I don't remember dying, but it was definitely a guarantee. I'd had a matter of hours left, if that.

[Oh hey, questions Nyx himself had. This is more than a coincidence, surely.]

[lonered]

Yeah, that sounds right.

It's weirdly old fashioned.

[lonered]

Don't mention it.

[lonered]

It's a lot to get used to. I guess I'm lucky to have some experience with alternate realities. It makes this a little less jarring.

[lonered]

Hope, huh?

All right. Let's hope for the best.

[lonered]

I'm with the Blade of Marmora, these days. I guess you'd call it a resistance fighter?

But yeah, I'm also a pilot. I used to be a paladin of Voltron, but it's been a while.

[lonered]

Another for the alive list. Good.

I'm hovering around a two. But even if I weren't, I'm not a ghost either way.

Though.

Is shooting a ghost even a helpful idea?

[lonered]

That sounds a little like my situation, except for me it's somewhere in the span of minutes. If that.

[passio]

I don’t think it’s so bad to be stuck here. We all have responsibilities in our own worlds, but maybe there’s a reason we came here.

Your spaceships might be intended to do whatever they’ll do without you. Maybe it’s even better if you’re not there.

[sirnyxalot]

From the rest of the forum it looks like we're in a minority. We might've skipped the afterlife.

Which is more worrying. I'd have accepted death. Less questions.

[heartsteals]

[ it's okay, lupin thinks it's funny-slash-cute... ]

That's the spirit!

If you insist, then I will take your word for it. What were the circumstances of your last trip to another world?

[murdery]

yeah, i got nothing. but i know that here is better than SOME places i've been. so we're probably okay.

[windeity]

dude that's awesome. i have never really met a resistance fighter! i mean i know people who are resisting but i think that is a little different.
and voltron is...? another ship?

9.751 out of 10! I'm pretty damn hard to harm, not to mention getting killed and going down without as much as noticing and putting up a fight wouldn't be manly at all! So I wouldn't do it! I also have another reason why I don't think that I'm dead, but that one's a bit strange.


How about you? You sound a bit worried if it's okay to assume?

[creatability]

That's fair. I imagine much doesn't surprise you anymore.

What are these aliens like?

[flamebringer]

I don't suppose you would have any extended knowledge on the topic that you would be willing to share, then.

How does one even cross between these alternate realities, for starters?

[appraiser]

I didn't mean it like that! I realize it's a terrible thing, and that so many people are heartbroken to find themselves here instead of where they want to be.

I just think that denying things doesn't solve anything. Accepting is a good first step to moving forward.

[lonered]

That's a lot of maybe.

It'd be nice if you were right, but in my experience, the universe isn't always that kind.

[lonered]

Yeah. It's a mix, but most people seem solidly on the alive side of things.

Too many questions. I've made my choice, and I'm okay with it. But not knowing if getting dragged here interfered or screwed things up... that's a problem.

[lonered]

Well.

There was this comet. A trans-reality comet that tore a rift between our universe and this other universe. And we were able to take Voltron through the rift and explore beyond it. And we found a world like ours but not at all like ours. It was twisted up somehow, wrong in so many ways.

[lonered]

What sort of places have you been?

This place... I don't know. It's really unsettling. Somehow.

[lonered]

Sort of. It's a ship, a weapon, a warrior. There's really nothing else like it in the universe.

Honestly describing it will make me sound crazy though.

Re: #C81F0A

[lonered]

That sounds pretty certain. But what's the weird reason? If you don't mind sharing it, I'd like to know.

Just unsure. On the scale, I'd say a 2, but only because I don't remember the impact happening yet.
