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.]

It was, sort of.
Heroes help people, though I'm not usually at the forefront. I work better at rescue and evacuation operations.

[lonered]

Whoever or whatever brought us here. And assigned us all laptops and forum handles.

Don't you think it's strange?

[lonered]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

And if is that sort of eerie isn't it? Unsettling.

[satanslash]

i hadnt really thought about it...

at first i thought it was some demon trick but i havent found anything that proved that but if it aint demons...

Fuck, shit like this gives me a headache!

[lonered]

Rescue and evac, huh? That's important though. I really hope it doesn't, but I have a bad feeling those sorts of skills might come in handy here at some point.

[...Keith doesn't mean to be so cynical. It just happens.]

[lonered]

You and me both. The whole thing is stupidly frustrating. No answers, no nothing.

Yet. I'm not giving up this easy.

[satanslash]

what are you gonna do

is there anythibg i can do to help?

im not smart like my brother but im strong? Idk if thats worth anytbing here...

[lonered]

I'm going to explore and look around as much as I can and see if I can't find any trace or clue about who the hell brought us all here.

If you've got extra time, some girl mentioned a good idea. Seeing if we can find some sort of, newspaper or notes or letters or anything to give an idea of what the hell happened to the people who used to live here. Doesn't look like there was an attack or a battle or anything.

Everyone has different skills they can bring. Strong is good. Strong could definitely come in handy. Who knows what we'll wind up up against here.

[doublecrowss]

People who are dead? You mean you have found some people who remember having died prior to our arrival?

[ That...sure sounds fishy. ]

[lonered]

Yeah, quite a few. It's not exactly evenly split, but more even than you might expect.

[doublecrowss]

Can you give me a rough estimate? And names, if you have them?

[satanslash]

well consider me the strong guy with the sword you throw at whatever nasty crap decides to come at us

im not the best at looking for clues but im all for protecting anyone who is

also i can cook but that's been doing shit all withthe flavor of stuff ive found here

1/2

[explodosafe]

It can't hurt at least. I'm not all that great with it either, but concentrating on what we DO know and CAN do is a lot better than mulling over all these things we don't!

Huuuh.

Sorry, I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around the idea that there's supposed to be like... other worlds? universes? places that sound like they could be right out of movies or books. We don't have aliens where I'm from.

[Mina aside, but it's not like she's a REAL alien.]

[explodosafe]

But it sounds really manly of you guys to do that! Taking away people's freedom isn't alright at all!! We had a guy like Voltron to, All Might the Symbol of Peace! But he's out of business for good now, I guess...

[No thanks to Kirishima and one of his genius ideas. He can't say that he regrets any of the decisions he has made or the things he has done leading up to that fateful night, but... It's hard not to feel at least a little bit responsible. Even if it had happened sooner or later anyway.]

Thanks. I wouldn't recommend it for trying it out at home, though. I only survived because I was unbreakable and even like that he'd only have had to hit me in a different spot once and the others would have had even more reason to get upset at me than they already were.

[creatability]

Oh probably. Things need to be taken care of, and I'm not the only person with that training from my reality. I was lucky, five of my classmates are here.

[glaciers]

That does make it harder. Do you have anything to write with?

[heartsteals]

There are a few people here that seem to be capable of extraordinary things. I thought I was dreaming at first, to be perfectly honest.

[dreidels]

I'm confident we'll figure something out. It's a matter of figuring out what resources we have.

[sirnyxalot]

[There's a longer wait before he replies.]

Sounds like we both left behind important responsibilities.

[murdery]

oh yeah i got a name. haha it's henry.

you got one? we can be co-members of the name club!

[lonered]

Uh. Varying shades of certainty on people's part. Maybe half a dozen really certain they are? I mean, feel free to read if you want. Most people didn't give names. I guess it's a sensitive topic.

[lonered]

Fair enough. Right now things seem quiet, but who knows how long they'll stay that wa.

Sword, huh? You any good?

I have a friend who would never forgive this place for what it's done to the food.

[lonered]

No one thought there were aliens in my universe either, until they showed up. Even now, aside from my friends, no other humans even know they exist, or know anything about the war.

[But. Aliens aside.]

You're from that universe with the super powers. So that's your ability?

[lonered]

Another cluster of people who know each other. I really wonder if there's a pattern. Like, not only are the people from your particular world, they're people you actually know right?

[lonered]

Nope. Haven't needed a pen since I wound up in space, honestly.
