✵ 001; [text/anonymous]
[A simple anonymous text goes out to the network today. Nothing malicious, honest, just curiosity speaking. For those who know him well, it’s anything but anonymous when they read it. It's a habit of his, after all, and bringing up his identity (or attaching an identity at all) might cause a bit of bias...though asking questions anonymously would subject him to some bias from those browsing the network anyway as well. Shhhh.
Ever-curious, ever-wondering. And...a bit ever-tactless, at times. Despite the fact that several people just returned from something quite traumatic, he’s most interested in their thoughts. However, others are certainly welcome too. Nothing wrong with that.]
Though seemingly unpredictable, the power to traverse worlds may contribute to the growth in humanity’s possibilities. But will it lead to man's destruction instead, or...?
[Of course, he may sound a bit detached, but considering his own situation...oh well. Most of the humans here seemed to want to go "home", despite their duties here, and despite the need of their presences here.
And then an apparently illogical topic jump/subject change. Honestly, it’s something he’s been wondering for quite a while now, ever since his arrival. Now that people have experienced more of the proof of existence of multiple worlds, surely this would be a good time to bring it up.]
Hinoto-Ri, I wish to know. What do the worlds you hail from possess that make you desire to return to them so?
[A pause in the typing, as if he just thought of something else.]
Or, for those who have recently returned, another question, if you will. What in this world did you desire while you remained in another?
[...He’s expecting answers like “not going through hell and back”, for the last one. Though given what he’s overheard, he’d pick Hinoto-Ri over wherever they went himself any day. Alcor couldn’t blame them in the least. Humans shouldn't have to needlessly suffer...]

[A small shrug.]
Prob'ly not the only way, but it sure as heck looks like the easiest way. Ain't many heroes left - most of 'em gave up on that a long time ago. The best and the brightest star we had crawled into a bottle and never looked back. Hard to hold out much hope in that kind of a situation.

Crawled into a bottle? Is one of your 'heroes' small enough to fit in such a container?
[...Colloquialisms are weird.]

Pardon the expression. What I meant to say is he's a worthless drunk, and has been for a long time. Damn shame, too. Guess heroes have the farthest to fall.

[With hope comes despair. The greater the hope, the greater the despair in proportion.]
Is there truly nothing anyone can do about it?

[Well, if it was a strong enough cannibal...it could be possible.]

[He sighs, staring into the video with the eyes of a man who's seen more than his fair share of terror.]
It's a day I won't soon forget. I don't think anyone will. Some scars just don't heal.
text; pretend this heading was here the entire time
[...And no, some scars just don't heal. Can time truly heal all wounds...? It depends.]
Video
[He heaves a weary sigh.]
It was all I could do just to try to hold things together. Nobody knows how it got started.
text;
[And since the subject in question is a cannibal...
Just gonna...leave that there.]
Nobody? How strange.
[Things like that just don't happen for no reason, after all.]

[A shame.]

...Okay maybe kind of giving up. But shh.]
And should these 'others' arrive here, what would you do? Perhaps they would have the answers you seek.

[...When'd that "our" slip in there?]
Video
...You too, huh?
text;
[Which is as good as a 'yes', really.]

In that case, I shall say the same to you. My condolences as well.

[It's true. This is the guy who's spent god knows how long just watching humanity, after all, and is perfectly content with that...]
