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've been told my version of Earth is also crazy, but to us, Prismatica would certainly seem incredible and alien. It would all feel like a dream. Having some solidarity might bring you closer together as a family, perhaps. That doesn't sound too strange. You did mention you'd like to keep the memories you had with your sister here, after all.

Off and on around six months? Not very long at all.

yes same friends here come from very plain worlds and think my world sounds like a fantasy place. just different from here i guess. more advanced technology here. less warfare.

my family could seriously use some solidarity. if we do end up keeping our memories... might not be the worst thing if all three of us remember.

i've been here five months.
how do you mean off and on?

[handsomefoil]

I've been sent back to and forth from my own home to Prismatica. I'd stayed for a couple months the first time, went back for a few, then back again for a month, and back home again... and now third time's a charm. This has been the longest stay so far.

Hoping it stays that way, to be honest. That's my answer to my original post's question, I suppose.

[rediscovering]

you want to stay here indefinitely....?

[handsomefoil]

Yes, I was being a bit dodgy of the question itself in regards to my own situation but ideally, I'd like to stay. If the reason for my staying here does so as well. Sorry I cannot be more descriptive than that.

But if I were to be forcibly rented though, permanently, I'd be much more inclined to be in what you perceive to be your ideal situation

Hope that makes sense. I'm still continuously sifting through my own thoughts regarding this as well.

[rediscovering]

it makes sense.
im guessing you fell in love or something?
i know someone who’s getting married and everything, owns a business, been here a year, was on another planet for a year...... i guess no matter what people make a life wherever they live.

I cannot rightly say...but I suppose it's something like that.

{ He'd be loathe to admit that he's embarrassed by this notion, to admit that he's in love. They've yet to even use the actual phrase itself, though all signs clearly pointed to this plain and obvious fact.

He just wants to say it to his partner first before admitting it off-hand and indirectly with someone he hasn't even met before.}

Home is where the heart is, as they say.
So cliché that it hurts but they're clichés for a reason I guess.

[rediscovering]

i dont want that cliche to apply to me
earlier i go home the better

Fair enough
I do hope you get your wish
