alright so

we're clearly all stuck here for a while and have to live and get jobs if we wanna survive. whatever, i can work within whatever system they think they have me in

my big question is: who's ear do we have to whisper into in order to have someone else pulled in? it looks like death's not a barrier for them and i bet if you give a description to someone they should be able to grab them, right?

or is that something i'll have to save money for. that wouldn't surprise me either.

if anyone's asked, let me know.

Don't think anyone's outright asked but I doubt they're able to bring whoever we want.

This is my third rodeo and it's always been completely random.

[sweetaspie]

what, third world you've been warped to? unlucky as hell aren't you?

they want strong and smart people right? then if someone happens to have a suggestion why wouldnt they take it

[taigastripes]

guess so, not the only unlucky bastared either.

I mean, sure but it doesn't mean they actually control it. The two other worlds couldn't as far as I knew so I figured it was the same here.

I mean, even people who died are here, so.

[sweetaspie]

THAT'S my problem
if its random, fine
but plucking corpses up and over here without being able to control it? that's fucked

I believe it is more random a selection. To my knowledge, no one else from my world is here or has been.

[sweetaspie]

what a half-assed system
they can give us powers, raise the dead, but they cant choose who shows up around here?

[nightimmortal]

No one, and no power or system, is absolutely perfect.

[sweetaspie]

least they could do is be accommodating

According to the introductory message that Mister Olwen gave, it looks like the summoning system that they use to bring everyone here does not let them choose who they get to bring in the first place.

[sweetaspie]

so that makes ME the lucky one. i shouldve pulled some lotto numbers if i knew i'd be plucked up like that.

[repliacting]

Haha...

Maybe you still can?

[sweetaspie]

maybe if they let me take them with me
surprised a lot you arent lonely like that though

Is that something your friend would appreciate?

[sweetaspie]

[ hoo... this one gets her to pause a bit. ]

dunno
but it wouldn't be up to them

[pedagogies]

And if the opposite were to exist, would you be all right if your friend imposed their choice upon you?

[sweetaspie]

depends on where it is
this place'd probably be fine, but if it was a shithole, i'd have to kill them

To my knowledge, that is not possible. If it were, there were many companions I should be glad to summon.

[sweetaspie]

you think they know much about us? feels like if we've got companions, they should bring us in a group

[nihilmancy]

As near as I can tell, that's not within their control. There are some clusters of individuals from the same universes, but nobody I would recognize as being of mine.

[nomither]

asked a similar question myself when i got here
got a load of blokes that i wanna bring here but no way to really ask for them to come

[sweetaspie]

should mail them a list and bug em about it from time to time
being a pest usually gets results

[nomither]

but not always

Word from the top is that it's random. Which sucks, because this is objectively a way better place to live in than home.

[sweetaspie]

wow, you too? its like theyre teasing me with a better world

[abnormalizes]

Right? Like, okay, I know we were brought here to save this world or whatever, but it's already a really nice place to live as long as you stay out of the Segments.
