[ marcos hadn't really expected to be back on this network so soon but he'd said he'd do something and while it was a little later than expected, he was going to follow through with that. ]

Not too long ago, I was here with questions about a different version of me being here before. Seems like there's a few people that's happened to now so our club's growing. I'm not here for that today.

During that conversation, I told someone that I'd ask a question to all the Displaced because she was curious and honestly, I am too.

Question is why do you stick around? Why haven't more of you 'fucked off into oblivion' to quote the last conversation I had about this? Is it because there's nowhere else better to go? Or something else?

[ it'd be interesting to see if there was genuine thought in some of the answers, if people didn't know there was anywhere else to go, or just didn't want to make the effort. ]

To be clear, I'm not advocating one way or another. Just posing the question.

[ OOC: this isn't an official mod requested communication and isn't part of some bigger plot. it's just curiosity born of a conversation marcos had with gaby here that he said he'd ask about so he's asking. feel free to talk to each other, of course, and i'll answer as i can. ]

I don't mind helping for the moment but I know people have been here awhile and haven't gotten any answers. That's something to keep an eye on.

[evasives]

I would never ignore that, no.

It could also say a lot about the directions people are looking in. Though I cannot imagine any answers here are going to be easy to find.

[heliophilous]

I just have to hope there are answers and this isn't just for someone's amusement.

[evasives]

Unless the answer is just their amusement.

It could be one giant experiment.

[heliophilous]

It could be.

I hope it's not but it could be.

The reactions would not be...good if it is.

[evasives]

I have no doubt it would be bad across the board. It is my least favorite option.

[heliophilous]

Mine too.

But, I guess we can't live thinking that. If it happens, we'll deal with it when it comes. Somehow.

[evasives]

Going in with a preset conclusion is a bad idea anyway. I do not want to assume anything about this place, except what it shows.

[heliophilous]

An ambitious goal. From what I've found, it's hard not to make assumptions and that doesn't just apply to this place.

[evasives]

I did not say assumptions were not there anyway. It is just important to be objective or aware of any bias, especially if something goes against any preexisting theories.

[heliophilous]

Easier said than done, unfortunately. We can say that but that doesn't mean we'll always practice it.

[evasives]

And much harder to do when the subject at hand might be more personal. But I think it is still important to try.

[heliophilous]

I don't disagree. Always worth trying.

[evasives]

Hopefully that is something everyone here can agree on.
