I've got a question for anyone willing to answer.

Would you say you come from a generally peaceful world or a violent one?

No, not really. While most were recorded in the Origin supercomputer and later reincarnated, myself and three others were simply brought there in our entireties. A result of us essentially having administrative access to Origin.

[ A pause, then: ]

I've gotta admit, I didn't understand most of that. We don't have computers in my world. I'm still learning about that technology.

[healerscorned]

Oh. I was in a similar situation about a thousand years ago. My world, Alrest, had a sudden technology jump after an ancient remnant of the planet's previous civilization was uncovered.

To put it simply, Origin was using some very complicated math to predict what a merge of the two worlds would be like, and I had a pass to look at it's inner workings before an outside force made the simulation real.

[hometown]

Do you know why or how that outside force made it real?

[healerscorned]

I say outside, but it wasn't really. Z was fear, the fear of everyone in Alrest and Bionis that didn't want to face an uncertain future. It all came together to create a being on par with a god, who was capable of using Origin to trap us all in an "endless now."

[hometown]

Wow. You weren't exaggerating when you called it complicated.

[healerscorned]

Honestly, I've barely scratched the surface here.

[hometown]

I believe it.
