Hi everyone! For those who haven't met me yet, my name is Korone.

I've been wondering about everyone's (inter-dimensional) kidnapping experiences. Questions like ... is Ellipsa your first time? If it isn't, how many times, for how long? Do you consider it a kidnapping, or have you in the past? That kind of thing!

I've included a poll for ease, but please feel free to respond however you'd like (including privately or anonymously) with as much or as little detail as you feel comfortable sharing. Talking amongst yourselves is fine too!

Poll #34704

I do think 'twould count as a kidnapping, particularly Imeeji, but I am still somewhat grateful for it. Had I not been brought elsewhere, I would have simply ceased to exist.

It is technically a kidnapping, I didn't get a choice about it, but being brought to Ellipsa is the best thing that's ever happened to me, so... Maybe more like a surprise vacation?

It's definitely different if your home isn't objectively way worse.

Just a note that my answer of 4 might be a lowball estimate, my memory isn't the most reliable thing in the multiverse. But I remember at least 4.

I also had a few regular (if you can call it that), non-interdimensional kidnappings which weren't fun.

I do consider it kidnapping, the interdimensional stuff. Bringing people in against their will isn't right. However, I met so many people that I love through the process, so... it's complicated.

I'll always be grateful to Production for saving you, even if everything else about them was trash. What a weird place to fall in love.

[ testing out the new username finally, woo!! ]

Is this something that you need to talk though, babygirl? The reason it's coming up, I mean.

Re: un: kantera, text

[happydreamed]

Adversity does bring people together... but truthfully, I believe I would fall in love with you no matter where we were.

Re: un: kantera, text

[sangreine]

Stop being so sweet this instant, or I'll threaten you with tea and cuddles with the cat.

Re: un: kantera, text

[happydreamed]

I will never be cowed by threats of cuddles. Do your worst.

[Lucifer is lounging next to Macaque. His eyes look over as his husband is typing on his phone. Red eyes spot the new username and they grow wide. They light up as he makes the cutest little squeak noise.]

Awwwwwwwwww! [He points at the screen excitedly.]

Re: un: kantera, text

[sangreine]

I warn you, you're rapidly approaching the line, and if you step over it I'll throw in a date to the cat cafe.

Re: [Action]

[ Macaque is focused on waiting for his daughter's answer when Lucifer points at the screen and acts like he just saw a duckling. What the-? ]

[ -Oh. ]

[ The tips of Macaques ears, all six of them, turn a touch pink. But he's also smiling. ]

It's nothing to make a big deal over. [ Even if he is grinning like a fool now. Shut up. ]

Re: [Action]

[dadbeatdad]

But it is~ [Lucifer doing his best to keep his excitement from making his voice too loud.]

It is a big deal, Mr. Morningstar. [Lucifer is going to lean over and nuzzle his nose against three of those pink ear tips.]

Re: [Action]

[castaside]

[ Ear nuzzles one of his many weaknesses when it comes to his new husband. His free arm slides around Lucifer's shoulders even as he continues to watch his phone in case Choco replies. ]

Maybe a smaller big deal.

Teeeeeeeeechnically it'd be the second, I think, by inter-dimentional standards?

But might be more considering how many times the world needed savin'!

[bluediligence]

[ sorry not sorry about the "AWW" Macaque probably hears when Korone sees the new username ]

I'm okay ♥
just
thinking about how long it's been, you know?

[ after a moment of "piccione is typing" ... ]

it was June when I got yeeted back to the Temple. my first time here, I mean, when I had Spring powers

Re: private

[castaside]

[ yeah that "awwww" seems to be going around ]

It's understandable that you'd be thinking about it. I'm glad you're okay, and that you feel okay talking about it.

On the topic of the poll, I wasn't sure whether to count the Temple myself. Real but not real is a weird thing to quantify.

un:happyaround

[roundandaround]

1) does it count if you've gone back home a couple times but always came back, does that mean I came here three times or does it all count under one
2) does it count if you went into a digital world and then went into the internet but you weren't kidnapped there you just kinda went
3) I think technically this is kidnapping but it's nice kidnapping?

[roundandaround]

Do you get kidnapped every time someone needs to save a world?

[nyeowigofast]

Kidnapped, summoned - potato, potatoe, I suppose!

Just the hero's purpose in life.

[roundandaround]

That sounds like a whole lot of worlds.

[nyeowigofast]

Oh yeah, definitely! But I don't mind so much.

After all, it makes life interesting. And I get to try new food and meet new people!

[roundandaround]

Yeah, this place is great! What's your favourite new thing you've tried so far here?

[nyeowigofast]

Hmmmm, there's a lot of options! I love to eat so MK fed me some good stuff at the Dealer's Den! So I recommend my boy's food there if you haven't tried it.

[roundandaround]

Right? It's so good! MK-san must work really hard at everything he makes!

[nyeowigofast]

He really does; m'proud of him. Throws his whole heart into it and it shows.

How about you? What do you like here?

I can always take new suggestions to try~

[roundandaround]

Everything! But but but have you tried Sugar Galaxies? In Solarpeak! They have like EVERY ice cream flavour.

[nyeowigofast]

No, I haven't - guess I better run over there now that it's getting warm~ Ice cream's the best.

[roundandaround]

Yeah! When I used to live in the Nightwake district, I always liked when it got to summer. It was really nostalgic! Oh, but winter was fun too 'cause it's kinda exotic! I live in Solarpeak now and of course it's always summer here, but every district is a ton of fun.

[nyeowigofast]

Do ya prefer that summery vibe then? Are you like, onna them? I'm still gettin' a feel for these whole seasonal powers and junk. It is kinda sweet that you can just jump to another area around here and enjoy the seasons though. Makes it interesting.

Re: un: kantera, text

[happydreamed]

Ah, but you see, you've fallen exactly into my trap, a cat cafe date is what I wanted all along.

[roundandaround]

Eh? Yeah, I'm a Summer! But I like just about everything! Summer just reminds me of home, that's all.

[nyeowigofast]

Neato! I guess I'm an Autumn or somethin' - all of them are good in my book.

So your home's a bright and sunny place then? Sounds like it with your good attitude.

[roundandaround]

Yeah! I've lived in a lot of places, but I mostly grew up in a science encampment on the outskirts of a village on a little place called Tiotio Island. There weren't many humans, but every day was fun!

[nyeowigofast]

Wow, really? So you're used to non-humans being around and everything?

[roundandaround]

I'm used to monkeys? Not the same as people like you or anything, but I did talk to them. They're my friends.

un: redrose

[silver_eyes_rose]

Teeeeeeeechnically this is my third? But the second time I ended up visiting other worlds, so I gotta up the number a bit.

[nyeowigofast]

Wait so, you were alone there except for them?

[roundandaround]

There was my family! And the other scientists. And sometimes we'd go into the village! There still weren't many people, but there were some.

[nyeowigofast]

OH! Oh okay - it sounded like you were all by yourself. I've been there; it sucks.

[roundandaround]

Really? That sounds lonely... there wasn't anyone? Not even monkeys?

[nyeowigofast]

When I was little? Nah. Just flickies from what I remember...which isn't much, honestly. But yeah, I was pretty much on my own for awhile!

I got my crew eventually but that was when I was older.

[roundandaround]

Whoa... Then I'm really glad you made friends! Do you think any of them might come here?

[nyeowigofast]

Not sure, but if they don't, that's okay. There's plenty of people to hang out with here.

Re: un: kantera, text

[sangreine]

How crafty of you, I've fallen right into your trap.
