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.

It's my first time with something like this. Of course, there have been theories and theses about the possibility and how it would work but... no proof.

Of course, as a doctor, why would you think of anything bigger than what you already have to deal with, right? You have enough disease and death to thwart, adding millions of possible other planets to your plate is probably dizzying.

[This text is definitely not somewhat bitterly toned at all.]

Now that the universe has opened up to you, I wonder if you're thinking if it's too much, or if you just have a thousand new possibilities to work with.

Before this place, I was taken to a spaceship called the Eluvio. It was surprising indeed, since I'm a realistic person who doesn't concern myself with things like extraterrestrials or distant planets that may support life.

It seems as though that didn't stop me from being taken to both of these places, however. Fufu, I wonder if this is some sort of karma? "Since you were so focused on yourself and your surroundings, you get this. ♪" That sort of thing?

Then again, there are plenty of people here who don't fit that description, so I'm really just rambling. As for my answer, this place isn't as bad as that spaceship was.

I've never experienced anything like this before either. It's pretty amazing honestly! I can't imagine what kind of powers it must take to bring us here.

But you're also a doctor? That's great! I haven't met many people here who actually are! ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ

I got 100 realities and counting under my belt, but I will say the whole portal thing is new.

As for this place, it's pretty like, normal? The sheer amount of holidays is fucking wild, but the rest of their shit makes sense if you think about the fact their population growth relies on people coming through the portal and deciding to stick around.

I've been in a similar situation, though the circumstances leading up to it were not nearly as unexpected.

Heh. It is not my first go-around with this sort of situation. Though, i cannot help but think and wonder why, exactly, this seems to be happening to people. It is interesting, non? How so many various personalities can meet here in all places.....
I consider it a blessing now that i have been here longer-- divine Fate that i have been brought here. It is more pleasant than the world from which i came from-- a horrific happenstance in space where i felt threatened and unsafe. and dare i even say, this place could possibly more pleasant than my home.

This place is missing one thing.. that is my only complaint.

[ is he laughing while he reads this? maybe, maybe a bit. because man does he not wish for a time when multiple realities piling on top of each other was not a thing.]

This is sadly a thing I am more than a little familiar with. Granted, usually there is more of a universe ending collisions involved, but I think that is probably a blessing. As for this place, it can be a bit strange meeting alternate versions of yourself, and interacting with people from the past, but so far nice place.

*Chandra's figured out how to not focus her camera on her eye! It only took her forever. She's set it up on a desk while she stretches a bit and eats some soup. Cause Chandra is multitasking. Don't let her multitask.*

You shouldn't worry about it, other than the monks that took me in, most people that aren't planeswalkers never think about other places outside of their own homes. It's just... too big a thing to consider. And I've been to a lot of planes.

But this place is pretty similar. Except they help you get set-up, and the authorities seem pretty fair and not corrupt. I'm used to sleeping in alleyways and exchanging my magics for some local currency to get by. Oh, and nobody's tried to kill me yet. Other than some local wildlife and it wasn't really their fault, that's just how they work.
