[ the video feed starts and you see a man looking at the screen. he looks a little rough, but not as rough as his clothes, which are dirty and grimy and... quite possibly stained with blood. the man himself looks mostly fine, more or less, he looks kind of worked up, like he doesn't know if he should be happy or upset. when he opens his mouth to talk, out comes a very strong british accent. ]

Right, so I've been here for a little bit now, waitin' for the other shoe to drop 'cause it can't 'ave been that easy to get away from the last place that I was at. Fuckin' shite place at that, but don't wanna spend too much time borin' y'all with all the times I've been killed and things like that. [ he casually waves a hand at that, like he didn't just mention he's been killed a lot of times ]

But I guess... the question I wanna ask is does anybody out there know if there's a way to bring others here? Got a lotta my mates still trapped in that hellhole I was at and I'm sure they'd all rather be here than there.

There's no way to do that. That's just how it goes, in these worlds. It's random and we have no say in it.

[nomither]

well that's fuckin great
so they're just stuck there then unless they get brought here?

[rustyhonesty]

Afraid so.
Though they might be frozen in time until you get back. At least that's how it was in the previous place I was in.

At least it's a reassuring thought.

[nomither]

not sure if that's much better

frozen in time waiting for me to get back and then we get murdered again

[rustyhonesty]

Maybe not. But it's all I know to say.

My only advice is you can't focus on the people left behind or you'll get consumed by the thoughts and end up more broken.

Who knows, maybe this worlds can achieve what other worlds haven't. Maybe we can go back in time, too and get the people we care about most out.

I wouldn't hold my breathe waiting for it to happen though.

[nomither]

by the looks of it, there's more to do here than the last place i was at. it should keep me plenty busy and keep my mind off things.

but god, i'd hope for something like that. take me and my mates back to our original homes and not that place we've been kidnapped to.

[rustyhonesty]

So you were kidnapped into a shitty situation where you repeatedly die back in your world... yeah that sounds like hell alright.

[ hm. ]

With prayer, summoning others was possible, but I do not believe I can use that ability here.

[nomither]

[ he sighs ]

At least it's possible somewhere then.

[nilhilistic]

Yes. But it is not the easiest or most reliable method. And sadly, not one I can impart onto others.

[nomither]

'ppreciate it all the same. Just gonna be shit outta luck no matter what.

[nilhilistic]

Such is the way of things.

Who were you missing?

[nomither]

Includin' me?

There's at least 36 of us there.

[nilhilistic]

That is quite a large number. Friends?

[nomither]

We've become somethin' like that. Kinda hard not to when it's only us and we've got a shared goal.

[nilhilistic]

Then allies would be more appropriate.

[ the distinction is important. to him at least. ]

[Don't mind the horns and wings, no big deal.]

Speaking as someone who was also previously taken to a place where one dies repeatedly - the bad news is that you can't control it. The good news is that people often come in groups from the same place, if not all at once. You being here seems to make it more likely that other people you know will also arrive.

[nomither]

--Fuckin' sucks there's 'nother place were people are killed repeatedly.

But really? Me bein' here means there's a chance that some of my mates might make it?

[happydreamed]

Indeed it does. As evidence, there are eight people here from the last hell I was in that have filtered in over the course of a few months, and a friend's world has easily a dozen or more people from it.

[How to ICly explain casts: it just works like that for some reason.]

'Tis painful to think of those you've left behind, but that may be of some consolation.

[nomither]

Hm... [ he thinks hard about this. he's still alive because he still manages to find some hope in his situation ]

Here's hopin' they make it then.

[happydreamed]

I shall hope for the same.

And, if you ever do want to talk about what you've been through, there are people here who might understand.

[nomither]

I'll probably need a lotta drinks for that.

[happydreamed]

I do know the feeling. There are several fine bars one might choose from, rest assured.

[nomither]

Oh yeah? Any you might suggest?

[happydreamed]

Karaoke or non-karaoke?
