[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...]

I don't know if I have anything to go back to.

Nothing. My world has nothing, for me.

[Enjoy the bitter-ish response, anonymous poster.]

[Hope you don't mind if he uses video for this. DeDeDe's way too lazy to bother with typing this whole conversation, and he doesn't much care what kinds of statements he puts his face to in this place. On top of that, he looks pretty amused at the inquiry.]

Ain't no goin' back when you're already dead, is there? 'Sides, my world was a steaming pile of shit circlin' the bowl anyhow. Won't be long before it all gets flushed. Might even do it some good.

The possibility of destruction of my foe.

[She eyes this post. She have a pretty good idea who this is from...

Miyako wish to avoid interacting with him as much as possible. But his post brought up what she have left back in her world. Or the lack thereof. They lost, the world of meritocracy won't come true and then there's her brother.]

Curious, aren't you?

Whaaaaat? Why would I even wanna go back? You crazy or something?!

The land of Metafalica, which my people have struggled to create for so long. As a Holy Maiden, it's my responsibility to help guide the people of Metafalss to their bright, new future.

And what of yourself? Is there anything that makes you long for your home, or do you wish to remain in Hinoto-Ri?

[misery_hates_company]

Who says I want to go home? I rather like it here.

[terra_nullius]

I have no memories of that world. I have no idea if I would even want to return to it.

[bladedskies]

My friends and family, everything that I hold dear is back home.

However, I can't return. I'm already dead. So I don't have a choice except to stay here, or return to being dead.

As for the second question, I think I speak for all of us who were taken when I say: I missed having people in charge who weren't actively out to get us.

It's the people in my home world who I want to return to someday. I have friends there.

As far as a trip to that last world... I regret that I was so unprepared for that.

whats with the weird philosophical questions are you trying to write a uni thesis or smth?

[can't sleep and still feeling crummy from horror tower adventures, time to bug the weird anon guy on the network!]

[photonicfighter]

[That's a tricky question to answer, as much as she wants to answer it. What is home, now? Parum? Mayfield?]

There are people that I care for, and things that I need to do. As useful as I hope I can be here, it's not very comforting. I have a war to fight, and a town to help build. I should be useful there, not here.

[trollsdragons]

[Well, this is interesting.]

I merely wish to return to mine so that I may continue working.

Traversing planets was possible in the world I'm from, but... it was only used to take what was in one world and expand it into more places. There wasn't anything approaching exchange or even change; just groups of similar people going together to live in different places. I'm not sure if any of those settlement efforts even succeeded.

Personally... I think I find Hinoto-ri a more preferable place altogether.
