[The username reads as 'Bismarck.' The picture is of a nondescript piece of purple-painted metal. Is there a pattern here with the previous post? Huh, he didn't notice.]

Tell me a little about your world?

[The request is simple, and harmless enough. No one is obligated to answer, no one is obligated to answer with details if they do.

[It's just a little bit of recon, that's all.]

It's probably the worst place ever.

What makes it that way?

[ Oh my fucking god. If this is who he thinks it is... his heart is in his throat as he fumbles his TAB to reply, opening a vid call -- no hiding here, his network ID is simply York and he looks pale and shaken. ]

Show yourself.

[Fuck this he's locking it even if this blows everything out of the water in his insecurities; if for no other reason than York looks like he's seeing a goddamn ghost, and that stresses him out a bit.

[So yeah, here's North, face and all; his hair's a little grown out and his beard is definitely... well, there in the first place.]

Don't sound so ominous, you'll make me feel unwelcome. [There's that famous North Voice (tm), lilting a little over the casual laughter in his tone. His eyes are just about lit up to see his friend, and he's smiling.]

we kill children.

You and your surrounding company specifically, or the world at large?

Not Here

[prorenataa]

We slaughter entire species, blow up planets and murder one another for fun.

[ She responds to the post just as soon as York points it out to her, unsure of what it means that two people she thought she'd never see again have both turned up at the same time. Her network ID is unambiguous and her helmet is off when she responds. ]

Why don't you tell me about yours first?

[sightsset]

First, may I just say that that is a lovely shade of red you've got going on? I do say, I don't think I expected to see anybody with it ever again.

[yeah, with york around he's sure she knows. he'll just milk the teasing a bit first.]

There are eight confirmed versions of my universe's timeline at the moment. Theoretically, more.

[ How's THAT for a fun fact? ]

Text

[sightsset]

Well, that's not one I was expecting to hear. How do you confirm them?

Bismarck. It has a lot of meanings, it's been the name of a lot of things.

[frostedplum]

Well, it's Earth, but a lot of people seem to be from a version of Earth that's not mine. The biggest event in recent history is the Omnic war, fought between humans and self-aware robots called omnics. It was really bad and a lot died on both sides. But when the war ended, it sort of just trickled off? So there are some omnics launching attacks even today, and other omnics who just want to live in peace with humanity, and they do in some places? But in other places they're outnumbered and treated really badly and it's sort of the worst.

[ Do the TABs have character limits? Because Mei has totally reached it. She quickly sends another message. ]

Your turn!

[wow that is a paragraph]

Humans left earth to branch out, and got into it with an alien race that's been doing this way longer than they have. Destruction's about as proportionate as you might expect.

what do you want to know

[She's still figuring out the keyboard, ok. Leave her be.]

worlds are big places
there's a lot to talk about

[sightsset]

Easiest thing to ask is, what's different about your world from this one?

[ventifact]

big desert
lots of crashed ships
not much to do

[sightsset]

You ever make stuff with the crashed ships?

ladies or gentlealiens first, man. your deets first

[sightsset]

Earth, circa 2500s. Lots of space ships, lots of guns.

[a_shadow]

I don't think of my universe of origin as being mine anymore.

But it's nice to see you, North.

[well fuck the last two didn't out my name, gosh!! let me be paranoid, tex, goddamn!!!!!

[oh well, cover blown, fuck it]

Technically you're not seeing me, but it's nice to hear you, too, Agent Texas. [teasing? him? never!]

[businessinfront]

That's a vague request.

[sightsset]

I've been getting pretty vague answers, too. Really sucks on the whole "trying to figure out what's going on" side of things.

[undyingbeliefs]

Thedas is nothing like this place, nor those that are connected to it.

[She means the other planets Kauto and Chioni-though grasping the idea of multiple planets has been a challenge.]

Are you asking for curiosity's sake or for research?

[Text]

[sightsset]

A lot of both. At first it was more the latter, now it's more curiosity. The people are interesting, what can I say?

audio;

[cockade]

I come from Earth, but more often than not I hail from an earlier time period.

[The voice is actually cheery and optimistic, compared to most.]

Before coming here, though, I was whisked away another realm that was even behind compared to myself.

[sightsset]

Was it another place like this, where people from different worlds congregate?
