There is a lot to gain from sharing information with one another.
This network is a testament to the combined efforts of the Moonblessed and their efforts to understand their situation.
Chroma, Moonlacing, Lunar Cycles and their associated traits; they are common knowledge.

Please share any obscure information you may have acquired up during your time here.
It would be best if every contribution is unique, but I don't anticipate many to take the time to scour through all of the archives.

No matter how insignificant you may think your experience as a Moonblessed may be, remember that it may help someone else.
You can remain anonymous if you feel as if you can't speak as freely as you would like.

Thank you for your time.

Well, I didn't think it necessary to scour the archives for any sort of answers until recently so forgive my relative ignorance!

But assuming you have been scouring them yourself, perhaps you can tell me if my situation is unique?

You see, I left my home world quite on purpose, hoping to jump to a universe relatively parallel to my own. However, I seemed to have miscalculated my trajectory and ended up here.

I'm curious to know if anyone else here is a dimension hopper like myself. It may give me a clue as to just how far from home I am, relatively speaking.

[diceswithdeath]

It's fine. Free time is hardly a luxury as of late and being productive is a means to an end.
That assumption is correct.

People who travel between worlds, planets, or timelines are present.
People who have died and arrived here are not uncommon, but that would depend on your definition of dimension hopping.
Most of which reference being 'taken' or 'kidnapped', others haven't seemed to have made a public comment regarding the matter.
The information that has been made accessible is the only information available to me, unfortunately, so anything discussed in private is out of my reach.

You seem to have been the first; at least the first that I have encountered to have willingly travelled to Prismatica.
Congratulations.

Well, I wouldn't say it was willingly. If I'd had a choice in the matter, this likely would have been lower on my list of preferred worlds. This whole Chroma and Moonlacing business is very inconvenient, for one thing. It's nothing like my home world, for another. Relatively speaking, I don't believe I'm even adjacent to my own world any longer.

And at this point, I don't think I can leave - not on my own.

Not that I'd want to. I'm already quite lost, I fear trying to hop again would result in me wandering even further from home.

[diceswithdeath]

Would you say that your ability was intercepted? Or does it operate on a game of chance?
From the reactions of the other Moonblessed I think it is safe to say that this world is nothing like any of ours.
Confusion and surprise seem to be the majority.

That is not unheard of. Many with similar abilities find them jamming or not working altogether.
There have been cases where people have left. I can't say for certain if all of them returned to where they came from, but some have left and then reappeared here stating that they did go 'home'.
It would be best to exercise patience/

I fear it's a little of both. I can travel, but I'm afraid I can't navigate on my own. Still, I should have ended up in a world relatively close to my own. Metaphysically speaking, it's as though I aimed to take two steps to the left and instead tripped and fell 200,000 miles off course.

No, that makes it sound as though it was my fault.

It's more like I had a black bag thrown over my head and was thrown into the back of a van and was driven 200,000 miles off course.

Regardless, I should be able to at least contact my home world. But my attempts have proved fruitless.

[diceswithdeath]

I don't think that it is reasonable to blame yourself for the circumstances.
Everyone is clearly out of their element and it wouldn't be realistic to assume that our abductions were due to personal negligence.
So, yes. It wasn't your fault.

I'm not sure if it is any reassurance for me to say, but that is not out of the ordinary either.
It does make me wonder if one could regain the full extent of their powers with enough Chroma.
Or if the amount would even be achievable in this lifetime...

[pullofatrigger]

I don't blame myself in the slightest.

[He really, really didn't. He wasn't the kind of person to beat himself up over bad decisions in the first place - finding it hard to believe any of his decisions were ever bad.]

I admit I worry about how this Chroma situation is affecting my abilities. Perhaps if I could spare the Chroma to access those abilities without restriction, I could get my distress signal to permeate the barriers between worlds more easily.

But unfortunately I don't. As it is, I worry the toll my current attempts have taken.
