I'd never considered that other worlds or realities might exist when I was at home. We're rather advanced technologically speaking, but I had been so focused on things in my own world that the possibility of there being others didn't even cross my mind.

Though things were quite busy anyway, and I'm more a doctor than I am a scientist, so perhaps that can be excused.

( this would probably be more winston's area. he was always more interested in science and answers and other planets and worlds - understandable, given his own home, and the focus on lena's time bending and jumping issues. angela is a doctor first, interested in medicine and how she can help people, using science and technology to do that. it's a single-minded focus that she's been stubborn about for almost her whole life.

but being pulled into a new world can very much push that to the wayside, she's found. )

Have any of you experienced something like this before, or is it completely new to you? And for those of you who have been here longer, what do you make of this place? The other people here, its traditions, the world itself, etc. I'm curious to know.

I'll have to let people know, I don't doubt there will be other people interested in figuring out the same things.

It's lovely to meet you, Jacob. I'm Angela. May I ask how long you've been here for?

[aeturnus]

Maybe a public announcement would be in order.

About a month. Not very long. I just like sticking my nose into things.

[valkyre]

Perhaps so! Though I don't want to post too often.

Well, at least I know who to turn to if I ever have a question I need answered.

[aeturnus]

If nothing comes up soon, maybe I'll do it. Some kind of information get-together post, right?

[ This time NOT anonymously! ]

You bet. If not, I can probably weasel it out from somewhere.

[valkyre]

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for it so I can see the responses. It's a very good idea so people can publicly share what they know or need to know.

That's very handy!

[aeturnus]

The internet's a lovely thing for that. It would definitely be a shame not to use it.

Yep, one of my little skills. Not nearly as impressive as other people around here but I'll take what I can get.

[valkyre]

I suppose we have one thing's continued existence in a new world to be thankful for.

I'd say it's hardly anything to scoff at. Sometimes finding out the information you need can be too difficult.

[aeturnus]

I'm sure we could find others, too.

That's probably due to too many fighters and not enough scholars. [ Or rather, too many kids considering the long-term goal of this place is to just... settle down. ]

[valkyre]

People I've spoken to have had rather kind words to say about this place, so I would not doubt that.

Perhaps. There are always numerous reasons, I've found.

[aeturnus]

Sure helps the "we're all in it together" vibe.

Yeah, there's no one single reason for anything. Still, if you need help just hit me up.

[valkyre]

It does indeed. Though there would certainly be some sense of kinship in anyone in a situation like this, I would think.

Thank you, I appreciate that very much. If you ever have need of medical help, or just anything otherwise, I'm always just a message away.

[aeturnus]

You're probably not wrong, but I get the feeling that some people blame the guys in charge for the whole mess, too. That can change how you think about your stay here.

[ He won't need medical help and you can't make him!! aka he is immortal and will likely never need to, but the thought is... nice??? probably? ]

You've got it, Angela.
