What made you believe this? That we're where they said we are instead of it being a dream?

( Or worse, though Claire's ideas of worse would probably not match up to anyone else's. That said Claire can't say that she really took in too much of what was being said to her, so she does need the confirmation )

What did you do? Or want to do?

( Because she doesn't know, not yet. There was considering going out from the Dollhouse and trying to find something but to end up in another world entirely? She doesn't know where to begin )

What if someone didn't? If there's enough people here not everyone would be likely to just sit and wait.

[soldiergenes]

What's your plan, then?

[polyphobic]

I don't have one.
I'm just asking what they do.

[soldiergenes]

People have decided to head out on their own before and take their chances. No idea what happened to them, though.

[ Which is a bad sign, he's guessing. ]

Are you experienced in space travel?

[polyphobic]

No. Space travel isn't a common occurrence.

Sorry for the HTML bork up there.

[warandpeace]

I've requested things to be made for me before. Help getting particular types of food or constructing a device or acquiring healing items. Any number of things.

[mylawn]

I'm guessing if this is a dream, I'd have figured it out by now.

[petridish]

Pass the time. No point getting out with no resources or when I'm dead back home.

[sketchycharacter]

yeah totally
it made me feel tons better

[unaffluent]

Yeah. That was the intention.

[polyphobic]

What did you find?

[polyphobic]

Why?

[polyphobic]

How long have you had to figure it out?

it's cool!

[polyphobic]

That's more help than I would have expected, but I don't really know what I should expect.

[polyphobic]

As long as it didn't affect anything else.

[mylawn]

Half a year.

[polyphobic]

And you don't know if you're dreaming?

[warandpeace]

There are plenty of resources, so that usually encourages people. If it were a shortage, there's a possibility they might have been less generous.

But you're also in a place where some people don't need to eat food or sleep or are bothered by usual human hang-ups, so you would still probably be able to find something.

[mylawn]

I'm not going to discount the possibility.

[Although it's less 'dreaming' and more 'strapped to a chair in some basement tortured the point of insanity.]

[polyphobic]

That's a long time to spend wondering. Should I ask what you've been doing?

[mylawn]

Trying not to die, mostly.

[polyphobic]

Apparently I'll find more than I bargained for.

[polyphobic]

That's a frequent concern?

[warandpeace]

It sounds like you've already found more than you bargained for. What was going on in your world when you left?

There's a variety of places people come from so far.

[polyphobic]

Nothing unusual. People just lived -- there wasn't anything remarkable happening.
