[So Billy has been that bored that he's either listened and watched most of the conversations going on, and had moments of horrible home sickness. Boredom doesn't begin to cover how he's feeling. Now that the action has died down, it's just a constant moment of sitting on the edge of your seat, waiting. Waiting sucked.]

So, someone mentioned comic books. Kinda curious about who else here really read them back where they come from and what kind? What were they like? Heroes, blah, blah, blah.

I'm that bored and yeah, curious.

I'm into finding old issues, we have titles that are based on like hero teams from my world as well. Collect Avengers titles. They're uh...a team back home.

Dr. Richards is right. Infinite universes, parallel worlds, it's all out there! Why do you say it must be obviously true? Have you been to one?

[ because well it isn't usually quite that easy and it's not really common knowledge beyond just theory ]

[withoutaworld]

Not counting this one? [ Grin. ] Yeah. I kind of... got stuck in one. Kind of hard not to believe in them after that.

[video]

[iwaspromisedtea]

You think this is also a parallel universe? [ hmm he hadn't considered that possibility but ]

But it'd take an immense amount of energy to bring such a large number of people from their own universe if that is the case.

[video]

[withoutaworld]

Well... yeah. [ She says it like it's obvious, like she hadn't even considered that someone might think otherwise. ]

I mean... well, there are people here from universes that aren't mine. Either of mine. Different versions of my universe. They're... different versions of people I know.

[iwaspromisedtea]

How do you know this isn't the prime universe though? When you bring up something like that, things get... complicated. Very complicated.

[video]

[withoutaworld]

The... prime universe? I'm not sure I understand.

[video]

[iwaspromisedtea]

Think of it as the "original" one -- although, it's a little bit more complicated than that. Maybe the one where the rest diverged from.

[video]

[withoutaworld]

Well, okay, but even if it is... some of us definitely aren't from it. So there's some crossing universes going on no matter what, right?

[video]

[iwaspromisedtea]

Exactly! And that really shouldn't be as casual of a thing as it seems to be here.

[video]

[withoutaworld]

[ A pause, lips pursed. ] They said there'd been sacrifices. To bring us here. The Emperor wouldn't tell me exactly what, but...

[video]

[iwaspromisedtea]

Sacrifices.

Sacrifices, to bring others here without so much as an explanation given and everything all neatly tied up with secrets and citizens who won't say a word either.

[ yeah he mad ]

[video]

[withoutaworld]

[ Geez, don't look at her, dude, she's just the messenger. ] Yeah. I guess whatever they're scared of, they figure it's worth it. We're... worth it...

And I think maybe they're afraid if they tell us, we won't help. I don't know what that means, but it's the only thing that makes sense to me.

[video]

[iwaspromisedtea]

Sorry, I didn't mean to snap like that.

[ he breathes deeply, realizing that yeah, she's not the person to be getting mad at. But the frown remains on his face ]

You think so? It's definitely a possibility, but in this case -- well, it might be better if we weren't kept in the dark. Whatever the danger is, we've got to deal with it regardless.
