informal poll for you guys. if you had to choose, is this place more like:

a) fantasia, from the neverending story
b) oz, from the wizard of oz
c) wherever the hell it was with the muppets and stuff, from labyrinth
d) wonderland, from alice in wonderland

[ The question might seem like a frivolous one, but the answers should actually be pretty informative, and it's way more fun than just asking people to describe what this place is really like. ]

All of those are gonna go over a lot of people's heads. We're not all from Earth, my dude.

I fear I only know two out of the four.

Perhaps I am missing out on the correct answer.

Are you familiar with a show called Sliders?

[dust_of_life]

C

If C also included a breakdown of the multiverse? We're all Sarah.

[ Cisco may or may not mutter something to himself about darmok and jalad nonsense up in here before he responds: ]

yep, still getting used to that.

but i gotta work with the pop culture references i've got, you know what i mean?

how'd you guess i was from earth if you're not?

[franciscoramon]

which two?

and there's no right answer, it's an opinion poll

[franciscoramon]

[ Wow. ]

i was aiming for movies a large range of people might have heard of

[ Is he for real getting sassed by some twelve-year-old, this is exactly like the internet back home. Some things really don't change. ]

gonna pretend it's not a thing in flash verse bc i don't know anything about it

[franciscoramon]

no

i'm guessing it's not about baseball or tiny hamburgers, though?

[franciscoramon]

oh goody.

[ Sarcasm heavily implied. ]

[dust_of_life]

I have a friend who thinks we're being encouraged to breed.

Like zoo animals

I'm gonna go with Oz, but I'm still waiting for my ruby slippers.

@fulcrum

[seditionist]

I've never heard of any of them.

[franciscoramon]

YIKES

um. why does your friend think that????

[franciscoramon]

that's good to hear, oz is one of the less messed-up options if you ask me.

except for the flying monkeys. and witches.

[mannerism]

Wonderland and Oz.

Though I admit, I've read Alice in Wonderland but I've never seen the picture about Oz.

[franciscoramon]

now see that's just sad.

[starspangled]

i don't know, glinda seemed okay. i'll agree with the monkeys though. they seemed like a real nuisance.

[franciscoramon]

[ 'Picture' huh? All this probably would have seemed weirder a few months ago but time travel is real and Cisco's in another universe and he's adapting pretty quickly. ]

what year was it for you before you came here?

[franciscoramon]

judging by the hokey welcome video and the fact i'm supposed to be making tech for some kind of perimeter guard i'm guessing this place has got its nuisances, too.

[seditionist]

Are they books? Holos? I've never had much time for those sorts of things.

[mannerism]

1946.

Yourself?

[dust_of_life]

All the alcohol-heavy parties, mostly

[franciscoramon]

idk. just sounds like college to me.

i obviously haven't had a chance to peep the situation here wrt birth control but jumping from zero to they're breeding us seems a little harsh to me.

[franciscoramon]

and getting sadder by the second.

i'm assuming 'holo' is some kind of future and or space term for movies?
