There are some questions that I have been mulling over for quite some time now. As someone who has returned home once before and returned back to Prismatica with their memories in tact on multiple occasions (apparently some people return, only to be a blank slate), I've had the utmost displeasure of experiencing a harrowing bit of dissonance: My obligation to the world I grew up in, and the freedom I craved in such a liberating sandbox environment as Prismatica. The longer I allow myself to settle down here, the more reluctant I am to leave, and each subsequent ping-ponging back and forth (especially against my own will) leaves me with a heavier heart.

Seeing such a varying degree of opinions both on the network and in person, I've always been curious as to how people feel about their status as a "moonblessed" citizen and in turn, their unpredictable predicament.

If and when the day of reckoning and/or returning is upon us (and should the higher powers be so kind to provide us a choice at all), would you ever wish to return back to your own pocket of the universe? Or multiverse, if Prismatica is indeed set within a different universe altogether?

What would hold you back?

Or if there is nothing holding you back:

what would you take back with you (memories, tangible items, people, etc)?

Or! Bonus question:

In an ideal situation, (let's just throw all propriety to the wind here for a moment) how would you like things to be? This one might be a tricky one. I think this could also easily tie in to the second question, for reasons I assume I don't have to spell out.

i miss my friends back home a lot

but they're really all i would ever want to go back for

i don't have any family there anymore that isn't here with me (it was just me and my brother and he's here now) and shit kinda went really south right before i left anyway

ive been gone for so damn long at this point im not even sure what it would feel like to go back

hell i went back for like five days and it basically just got worse so returning here was a blessing

also im kinda getting married next month to someone who isn't from assiah so i'd also be leaving her behind

(anon forever)

Then perhaps as mentioned in a different thread, would you much rather send a letter telling them of your situation and be done with it? Or perhaps wish for an interdimensional pen-pal set up? :)

A good escape, then. Having your brother here is good. Makes me almost wish mine showed up too, but... well, maybe it's for the best he didn't.

Wow, only five days? Your home sounds like one of those places that are fine to visit every once in a blue moon but otherwise is best avoided like the plague.

Congratulations. Met her here in Prismatica, you mean?

[satanslash]

maybe
i wouldnt mind them being here either because home is pretty crazy right now but if they cant then letting them know wouldnt be a bad idea

oh uh actually no i met her in another world before here but then we wound up in prismatica together after

[handsomefoil]

Bringing them all here? If your home world is as bad as you say it is, perhaps it would give them a bit of reprieve.
Not a bad idea in itself.

That's quite remarkable...
Either you're fated to be with her or you both have extremely good luck.

its sure as shit not sunshine and rainbows lately

i mean most worlds probably arent but im pretty sure no one wants to be involved in a demonic gate breaking open

im gonna go with luck

really really amazing luck

[handsomefoil]

Yes that does sound like a bad time

One could also argue that such ~amazing~ luck can be interpreted as fate
As if one and the same
But realistically (if one could even call either of these things realistic), perhaps it's a healthy dose of each

{ someone's a huge fuckin' nerd for fate/destiny themes }

[satanslash]

chance that we wound up in the same place at the same time

fate that we met again in a second different world?

[handsomefoil]

Yes! All of that.
Can you imagine the sheer improbability of that happening at any given time? Unless you're physically attached to each other (and maybe not even that would prevent it), I can't see chance, the fickle mistress, being so kind.

I don't believe in any one deity, but I do believe there's always a higher power of some kind at play.
It's hard to imagine otherwise.
But that's just me.
Of course if you still truly believe it's all luck, then that's your prerogative.

[satanslash]

considering im not really all that lucky most of the time you may have a point

dunno about a full on higher power but theres probably something out there that's like
yes, these two

its kinda funny

in a good way

[handsomefoil]

I think that's an apt description:
Kinda funny
In a good way

That's how I feel about a lot of things at the moment, too.
