001 ✦ Video
[ It had taken Ender a few days before he even checked the network, and a few more days before he decided to place himself upon it. When the video starts, it's the face of just another child -- but one that's exhausted. From his serious demeanor and lack of a smile, he seems much older than he is in all actuality. ]
Earth -- I'm not talking about the sector -- does the name hold any significance to you? I've been wondering how many people here come from a place called Earth and just how many Earths haven't had to face the Bugger Wars. From what I've seen of the guests, many appear human overall and some even with the same technological advancements and understanding that are prominent in my world. If we're trapped in this place between life, dreaming and death, then I suppose it wouldn't be impossible to dream of the existence of alternate Earths.
[ Ender forces a smile, but that's just what it is. Forced. He's really in no mood to showcase good cheer. ]
If it isn't asking too much, even if you don't come from some variation of Earth, I'd like to know about your world. Subsequently, I can tell you anything you wish to know about mine. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed that we're being kept in the dark by the natives here. What they know and what they're planning doesn't concern me as much as our lack of understanding about the universes that surround us. I feel the better we understand one another, the more trust we can put in each other and the better equipped we become as a whole to any crisis that may arise. Sometimes, in a war, the most crippling blow can be dealt not by the enemy but by lies and mistrust.
That's all. Thank you for your time.

They were cast into an alternate world where their lives were actually represented as a fictional show on television.
no subject
So...their lives were something known to the people of this alternate world? Or was the tv show just something based off of the idea of them?

[But whatever, not like it affects Cas.]
Anyway, that's just one of several possible alternates. My same friend also witnessed his future, which is mathematically impossible. It could have been an parallel universe that is slightly out of sync with our own, or a fabrication of the mind, but apparently it was very in-depth.

[ But when Cas goes on, he tilts his head curiously. ]
And did your friend's own future catch up to the one in the parallel universe? Was it completely accurate? Or was he able to change the outcome by knowing about it in advance?
no subject
But I haven't checked, so I'm not sure. [Maybe he should investigate when he gets back home.]

When I attempted to leave, I lost consciousness over the water and woke up returned to the back of the turtle.
no subject
Really? How far did you get before that happened?
[ ....and was he drowning is more the question Ender is asking. ]

And when you jumped, you hit the water just fine? Nothing caused you to become submerged and lose consciousness that way? Did you suffer from any physical trauma after the jump?

My name is Ender, by the way.

[Is this a conversation? He thinks this counts.]
If you have any further questions about alternate dimensions, let me know.

Thank you, Castiel. I will.
