So, this isn't my first time being here, I've learned. I'm still wrapping my head around the whole thing but there's a few of you that know me and I don't know anything about you except what I've learned in the last few weeks.

You all probably know more about me than I know about you and that's weird. Nothing I can do about it but it's weird all the same. I half want to make lists of what you know about me so I can compare and contrast. I'm not going to though. You guys deserve to keep those memories of him — me — for yourselves.

Sorry that I'm not him, though.

Anyway, I'm not smart enough to really have an explanation on why this happened. I don't know if I was here and had my memories wiped and then got sent back. Pretty clear that messing with heads is pretty normal here and it wouldn't be a stretch where I come from either. But is there a way to test for that without cracking my head open?

Or I could be totally different person which just gets into science stuff that's above my pay grade. But I can't rule it out. Two of me. No one wants that, though. I don't know which explanation I really prefer either.

I need a drink.


[ for a few reasons. it feels like he's been barely hanging on for awhile now and this whole side trip to a futuristic society was really testing his ability to stay afloat. ]

Where's a good place to get a drink?

Did any of them have god complexes or am I having a very special experience?

[ commiserating. ]

The fact that more of you haven't fucked off into oblivion is really astounding.

Or maybe that's coming in the near future.

They know. Two men did it and proudly announced it, and then vanished from the world itself.

I doubt that scared anyone into not trying.

Maybe you all just get along very well and you don't know it.

[ is there anywhere better? most people see that as their home. ]

I believe it's more that the matter of "better" can't be reached without the aid of those like themselves. For those two guys? I don't think they needed to go back home. That was the impression they gave off, anyway.

Anyone's gonna be biased toward their home, even if it needs a lot of patching up.

That's the way it should be for most of you.

No, but you won't be able to get back there alone. Not without help.

Hence the potential preference for here rather than a nebulous where.

Just so we're clear – you realize I'm hypothesizing here, correct?
vns: (Sept)

[personal profile] vns 2019-05-18 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.

Why don't you ask your fellow Displaced why they stick around, if not for that? I think it'd be enlightening for everyone.

[personal profile] vns 2019-05-20 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
That an actual concern or a joke? Sometimes it's hard to tell.
vns: (Trois)

[personal profile] vns 2019-05-20 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, we have plenty.

But no one's answered that question, and now I'm curious.
vns: (Trois)

[personal profile] vns 2019-05-21 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
I may ask around a bit myself.

It could just be that I've started bringing food for the new kids.
vns: (Treize)

[personal profile] vns 2019-05-24 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
As far as any of you know, anyway.

Not intentionally.

You make a fair point.
