Through curiosity both morbid and not - what were you in the middle of before bring brought here, and how urgent do you consider returning to it?

Just going by the way things have been around here lately, I won't precisely be surprised if answers trend towards "having a crisis", "dying horribly", or "watching someone else die horribly"; even so, it isn't as though I'm going to judge for such things either way.

That's certainly one way of putting it. I don't know that I'd say this place is where I would choose to be if I had to be spirited away to another world entirely in the middle of something fairly important, but on the other hand it really could be much worse.

[manufactured]

I'll bear that in mind.

[...]

Consider it greatly appreciated.

[sleepinglotus]

A lot of worlds out there are apparently in some sort of trouble. Given what Remnant specifically is going through it does make me hope that those other worlds aren't in such a state that their battle is impossible to win.

[manufactured]

Is yours really that hopeless, then...?

[sleepinglotus]

We were told that the being responsible for the strife in our world cannot be killed.

[manufactured]

Perhaps so. But there are ways to defeat things short of killing them, surely.

[sleepinglotus]

That may be our next step, yes. Finding other paths.

It was just very disheartening to hear at the time, especially considering one of my teammates had died because of this war we barely knew anything about at the time.

[liberaltus]

And you can consider me intrigued.

[He's always fascinated by intelligence, and more than that, by a good mystery.

Speaking of.]

Belatedly, my name is Dorian Pavus.

Oh, really? Even if it might not have been particularly special, it does sound nice having a place like that where you can get away from people for a while.

[zunge]

Double sucks to be them, I guess.

[manufactured]

Not quite how I would personally phrase it, but more or less.

[manufactured]

It was usually me and a friend of mine; we'd known each other since we were teenagers. Not a bad arrangement altogether, if you ask me.

I've never really been fond of large populated areas like this; it's new to me in several ways. All general moon-related oddness not withstanding. Were you fond of where you were, or was it simply somewhere to be?

[manufactured]

My condolences for the loss.

[He...supposes.]

[manufactured]

...That does seem to have fallen a bit by the wayside, doesn't it. Albert Wesker. It's a pleasure.

[mingyues]

I understand, most worlds work like that but as long as people don't stop trying to make things better then they're fine. It is when people lose all hope that one must worry for the state of the world.

[manufactured]

Whether it's actually founded or not in my world's case has yet to be seen, but there is almost an absurd amount of hope going for it either way. So we're not at that point yet.

[sheisthewind]

Have you applied to work for Lunar Scientia here? I imagine they would appreciate someone of your skills.

[doctorize]

A bit of both, perhaps? There were things about it that I was fond of, but if those things can be replicated elsewhere, then it just becomes somewhere to be, doesn't it?

[manufactured]

I suppose at that point it becomes a matter of desire to replicate it, as opposed to the desire to leave it be and form entirely new attachments elsewhere.

[manufactured]

I've considered. It's been some time since I've worked with a large organization like that.

[doctorize]

Ah, well... I can't say there are not some new attachments I've become fond of here, but there are still things I would like to have replicated that had made me fond of my place back home, I suppose.

[manufactured]

Understandable. Though I admit it's not the approach I've taken; I prefer to let things lie, at least when it comes to the way things were back then.

[doctorize]

Really? Isn't there anything about your prior home that you would like to have here as well?

[manufactured]

Not particularly. I left on my own terms, when there wasn't much left for me there. It was a long time ago besides; even that person I was there with would be strange to talk to now.

[doctorize]

I see.

[Danny considers some things for a moment before he responds.]

I guess now that I think about it, there are some people I didn't mind the company of, but it would be strange to have them here and, in fact, it would probably be for the best if they weren't.

[Like Gray is one thing, but... maybe he should be glad someone like Cathy isn't here in furry hell world, as an example.]
