✵ 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...]

[There's a noticeable pause as he reads all of that. ...He really didn't like the thought of humans needlessly suffering...]
That does sound painful indeed. It is no trivial task to defy death.
May I inquire about these "ghost-summoning rituals"?
[...Not that the concept of dying only to be revived again is a new one for him, either. But only someone admin-tier could do such a thing, as far as he knew.]

Mm. Looks it's driven more than a few of the locals kinda loopy, too.
[Oh man, screw those rituals!!!]
Sure. The one I got stuck in involved walking around a house one way to open all the windows, and then going back the other way to close all of them. Clockwise and then counterclockwise, I think. Along the way, a bunch of spirits showed up, and if you ticked them off you got spirited away.
The others were more dangerous, but I don't know all of the details. Just that one of them was way, way too easy to screw up, and the other one relied more on luck than mine did.

And there was no way to stop the spirits from doing so?
[After all, spirits could be fought...]
