[Although texting is certainly his preferred way of communicating, it's still a little nerve-wracking. But figuring things out is way more important than some unnecessary nervousness, and so he's finally decided to take a break from other things he's working on to ask some questions.]

Hello everyone. In the interest of discovering why and how we arrived here, I had a few questions for those willing to answer them.

The first is what each of us was doing before we found ourselves here, and if it happened in any sort of noteworthy location. Any details could be important, so whatever you remember is likely valuable.

The second is if anyone here is familiar with or experienced in traveling between dimensions or worlds, outside of this one.

The third is if anyone, while here, has attempted any methods of reaching or contacting a dimension or world outside of this one, and what the results were.


[He's... Not expecting much on the last one, honestly, but might as well ask. The first two might result in something useful, though, or at least he hopes they might.

And before he ends the post--]


Thank you for your time.

I'd just lost my kingdom, my wife, and the last of my devoted warriors. I was traveling to Rus with the intention of regrouping there and figuring out my next plan.

[Y'know, the typical dramatic day for a Viking warlord.]

I have never traveled to other worlds, but my people are aware of them. And no to the last question.

I'm Norse. We know of the Nine Worlds, as we call them. Niflheim, Muspelheim, Asgard, Midgard, Jotunheim, Vanaheim, Alfheim, Svartalfheim, and Helheim. But this is a new one for me, traveling to a place unknown and finding people from all sorts of different worlds.

If anything about this place actually made sense, I'm sure we would all already be on our way out the door and back to wherever we came from.

[While Ivar does have unfinished business at home, he's not as keen as some to get back. He'd gone through a lot just before he came and needed some time to heal emotionally before tackling his problems again.]

Technically I went through a portal into another world, but the person I'd been traveling with didn't arrive with me. And that portal should only be tied to one world.

I've tried contacting other worlds, but there aren't any rabbits here, so I didn't get very far.


[ yep. no explanation for that last one. ]
itselbitch: (fuck's sake)

[personal profile] itselbitch 2019-07-19 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, plenty of times. I'm a king there. [ also no explanation there. ]

Rabbits are capable of slipping between dimensions. They're something like the least common denominator between several universes, supposedly, so they don't have to follow the same rules as a lot of the rest of use have to when skipping over borders.

[ Sympathetic as he is toward the impulse the figure all this out, to connect the dozen or so of them that are here like dots, answering both the first two questions would give too much away—assuming it matters. Maybe it doesn't. But he's had enough off-putting exchanges to exercise a modicum of caution. ]

I'm familiar with time travel. But the technology [ for want of a better word ] used to accomplish it never existed.

Are you from Earth?

I'm American. [ That's the easy part out of the way. ]

I've traveled through time on three occasions.

The tech was unmade, you could say. Prevented, via time travel, from being developed.
[ Note the careful use of the passive voice. Or don't: he'd prefer you didn't. ]

Sorry, I know it's a mindfuck.

It fell into the wrong hands and things snowballed. It's an insane amount of power. [ The power to rewrite the past, to tip the balance of war. To erase people from existence.

Give him a second with the next sentence. ]
That's right. More research could've been done on that front beforehand. [ But thinking things through was never COST's strong suit. ]

Aren't most people convinced they're doing good? [ Even the army COST had been fighting—they thought they brought peace. But again, that might be too much detail to share.

He warms to whoever this is, worrying over the fate of worlds and times not his own. ]
Nothing's permanent. [ It looks ominous, there in text, but it's true. Time travel itself was built from the bones of a long-dead god. ] Least of all here.

Tell me about your world.

Earlier than me. [ William offers, mostly for the stranger's sake. He's not sure how much point there is in trying to pin down exact years. ]

But you know about them. [ In person, his tone would be somewhere between teasing and probing. Without the frank interest, the light in his eyes, it may come across differently. ] How were they discovered?

[ Which is, admittedly, a purposeful thing, making her plans sound utterly routine. But if he needed to know that, she wouldn't've described them that way in the first place. Ruth's happy enough to let the focus slide quietly away from that subject and toward the others. ]

I was standing on a hill, awaiting the commencement of a battle that would decide the fate of seven kingdoms. (The other two inquiries amaze and confused her, yet she knows they must be possible.)
