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.]

Comments

[lonered]

Yeah, some people have really unique abilities.

I think I've readjusted my level of disbelief already, after everything back home. But it's still a little surreal.

[lonered]

Resources are a good start. Figure out what we have to work with. Who we have that can work with what. You're right. We will figure this out.

[lonered]

Sounds like. I think most people have. Even if they haven't, they shouldn't have been ripped away from where they belong.

[lonered]

Keith.

You sound like you're handling this whole thing... well.

[satanslash]

something always comes up...

[Rin was getting tired of it back home, but he knows not to expect any different here. That's just been his life for the past year.]

getting there. at least i think that's what my teacher would say

ugh dont even get me started how can everything be so BLAND its fucking awful!!!

[theshowsover]

Yeah. It's bad enough that the town is falling apart, but then we have to scrounge around for food.

[queenofminiskirts]

as long as you're going to make sure first before you do anything.

i'm not sure how some people coming from the same place makes it suspicious but i do get you about the laptops. whether or not our being here is an accident that part definitely wasn't

[She also thinks his not considering it could still be an accident indicates a lack of an imagination. But maybe just that he didn't have the sort of friend who accidentally shoots someone with a tranquilizer then purposefully set up the area so it looked like her victim had passed out after excessive drinking.]

right! and with so many people from other worlds, we'll definitely be able to find some kind of solution!

[glaciers]

I guess you'll just have to type it until you memorize it.

There should be a better way than that.

[creatability]

Yes, they are. They're my friends.
I've heard the same is true with Dave and some of his friends.

[heartsteals]

I'm still working to reach that level, I'm afraid. What's a Voltron, by the by?

[ belatedly wondering that ]

[inheritance]

Really? You're the second person I've met who seem to have already dealt with this kind of thing before.

Do you think communication of any kind would be possible? I could ask Keith what he thinks, too. He's the other guy I mentioned!

[dreidels]

Yeah. We should make a list to keep track of stuff as we find out what we have.

[explodosafe]

Your universe... Hehe, that still sounds so strange to me!

Yep, I'm from the place with all the Quirks, if that's what you mean! And it'd be nice if I really had an ability like that! ☆=(ゝω･)

All I can do is turn hard. Like, really hard, the one time somebody tried to shoot me the bullet bouncedc right off my head. Not the other thing! (Trust me, I've heard all the jokes)

[lonered]

Well, if you ever feel like going a few rounds, I'd rather not let my sword skills get rusty.

Heh. Yup. You sound like Hunk all right.

[lonered]

Yeah. So much for our hosts providing for us.

Laptops, but no decent food. Or, you know, explanations.

[lonered]

You don't? So a whole bunch of us from a whole bunch of different universes all wound up here. But there are a few universes with definite clusters of people. Look I don't know about your world. But in mine there are literally billions of people. Now, assuming someone isn't standing next to someone else so it wasn't just something that affected a location like wrong place wrong time -- what are the chances that out of all those billions of people in that world, the "random accidental" folks that get kidnapped all know each other instead of, you know, any of the billions of people they wouldn't know? I'm no math guy, but it's a really small chance.

I think we all caught the attention of who/whatever brought us here. And some of us caught their attention along with our friends.

[Nope. Keith is firm on this. Accidents don't come with personalized network access and groups of BFFs. Keith will die on that hill. But Keith has a lot of hills to die on, such is life. What he's not yet sure is if this is malicious or some ill-thought-out cry for help.]

And get home.

[lonered]

Yeah I'm sure I"ll remember it soon. Seems important.

Probably. This whole thing should be a lot easier, but I don;'t think our comfort is our abductor's top priority.

[glaciers]

We were put in the bottom of a well. Our comfort means nothing.

[lonered]

Yeah. Seems to be a few groups that fall into that category.

As for me, no one I've met is even from the same universe as me. ...or well, if they are, they were snatched from an earlier point in time.

No one's heard of the Galaxy Garrison or anything like that.

[It would make sense for other humans not to know about Voltron or the Galra or the Blade of Marmora. But the Galaxy Garrison is pretty big on Earth.]

[lonered]

Honestly it's kind of nice to talk to someone who isn't concerned about painting the jerks who kidnapped us in a negative light.

[lonered]

Oh. Right.

Look it's gonna sound weird. It still sounds weird to me. But okay.

Voltron is an ancient weapon built by a long-(mostly)-dead alien race in the form of a giant robot warrior comprised of five individual lion robot warships that are all partially sentient and piloted by a chosen Paladin.

[glaciers]

Is somebody trying to say they had a good reason to bring us? If that was true, they'd say something.

[lonered]

Well, turns out I'm actually still the first.

Hey. It's Keith.

[lonered]

Good reason. Didn't mean it. Might have been an accident. Don't jump to conclusions.

But I agree. If this was an accident or something with good intentions behind it, they'd have said something. And if it was an accident, we wouldn't have personalized network logins and access waiting for us.

[lonered]

Yeah, I think it sounds strange to most people. It makes me feel weird to say I'm almost used to it.

That's what I meant, yeah.

Huh. You can actually be bulletproof? That's impressive. But not all the time? Only when you choose to be?
