So everyone knows about alternate universes now. But have they seen any strange ones?

And I mean, strange like. Is your evil alternate twin running around here? Or a good looking one (but with a beard?)

I'm just kind of curious as to what people know about alternate universes and what they've noticed about them.

*Hello bright orange eye of Chandra who is still terrible at using her camera.*

What's with people finding planes exactly like home only everyone is a little different? That's so boring, why can't you find planes that aren't anything like home?

*Chandra priorities everyone*

[supersweet]

[ Huh. Jon considers this briefly. ]

I think it's because they're easier to get to. Similar planes exist closer together than the ones that are very different.

I think. There's no real science on it.

[firelogic]

I've never found a plane with another me on it, but then again I keep going to different planes so maybe I just always miss her.

Everywhere I go is nowhere like anywhere I've been. What's it like to meet yourself?

[supersweet]

No clue. I've never met myself. But I heard it's trippy.

[ He's met (or at least) seen and heard of different versions of his parents. They even exist here. ]

I know there are two men named Steve Rogers... they look exactly the same to me but it's come to my attention they're different people who don't know each other.

[They might know each other by now, she doesn't talk to them an amazing amount.]

There are some people here who seem to come from realities similar to mine, but not quite.. I haven't met anyone who comes from a similar time.

Are you afraid of having an evil twin?

[supersweet]

Isn't everyone afraid of them? Evil twins are no joke.

How are they similar to yours?

[burntbridges]

Well yes, they would be scary... but if you asked around some might claim I'm the evil twin.

Some people are fairytales in my reality, or they're from what would be my world's history. And.. I think I might be the same, to some people. Most people here come from... the year 2000, I think.
I'm from the year 1853.

[supersweet]

Why?

[ That seems like a bold claim. ]

So all the tech stuff must seem really strange. What kind of fairytales though? Like the Tooth Fairy?

What do you want to know about the evil twin and the good looking one with a beard? I've got experience with both.

[supersweet]

What do you feel was the main difference between you and other selves?

Was it safe to know them? The good ones anyway.

[burntbridges]

I have very strong magic that is often misunderstood.

Vikings, and elves. I've met one person who had the head of a cat, and a few people have shown me creatures I've never seen before. It's all rather exciting, honestly.

[supersweet]

Yeah. Having powers can do that. It's like a tightrope. You always have to be careful.

Elves! I have an elf on my floor and he knows a dragon. It's so cool!

[burntbridges]

I'm careful, and I'm good at what I do... but some people just don't understand how safe my magic is. They fear it because they don't understand it.

Is his name Taako? He has very good fashion sense, too. And he knows how to cook.

[supersweet]

I can get that.

[ Though he's probably not "safe". ]

Yeah! We made cookies.

[inebriety]

To be fair, I grew up with my evil twin. I didn't realise he was evil until it was too late.

The others all have beards, myself included. They've all seemed fine and not inclined to villainy. However it is a little disconcerting seeing what is essentially yourself.

[supersweet]

Disconcerting how?

Like . . . it could be you someday?

[inebriety]

More 'he knows way too much about me'.

[If Tony knew he was speaking to a kid, he probably wouldn't be fudging the truth so much. He generally found it upsetting because of all the what ifs it brought up.]

[supersweet]

How much is too much? Should people not know that much about you?

[burntbridges]

Taako's cooking is a godsend. I've been getting half my meals from him, honestly.

And- if you're curious about other realities, would you like a pet from a different reality?

[Translation: Letha found a pokemon and now she thinks everyone should have them.]

[supersweet]

[ Tough call. Jon is well-versed in taking care of his dog. ]

I'd love that, but are we allowed to? And I should probably ask the people on my floor if they're okay with it.

As I understand they're happy enough staying in a small container as long as you take them out for walks. Here.

[She switches to video, and holds up a pokeball.] Professor Sycamore can explain them better, but they're for holding certain creatures you'll find out and around the city and the forest. They came from his reality.

[And at this point she drops the ball onto the floor, and out comes her ghost companion. He's around the size of a cat and seems very interested in checking around the area for food.] This is Sprig. He's one of those creatures, but they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes - one of my friends has a pony with a mane and tail made of fire.

[supersweet]

[ Hold on . . . Jon's expression shifts into pure delight. ]

You have a pokemon?!

[burntbridges]

[Oh, so he's heard of them. She nods readily.]

You can come play with him if you like - he usually stays on floor one with me, and he'll follow you around if you have food.

[Which is exactly why Sprig isn't allowed out of his ball during the festival.]

[supersweet]

No way! Really? Which floor? Do I bring snacks?

[ Sorry, any kind of serious conversation has been derailed for Pokemon please hold. ]

[burntbridges]

[This is the cutest thing, you're going to kill her.]

First floor, bed 4. Bring snacks if you like, he loves trying new things. [Although he's very picky about what things he eats twice.] Maybe later I can convince Ivar to let you meet his ponyta.

[Jon will just have to... ignore the skeleton that's just kind of chilling in her bed, when he comes to visit.]
