It's fascinating, isn't it? To think a place like this exists between all the differing realities we come from, and time displaced even among its own inhabitants. It almost makes you think the universe is crashing in on itself.
However, I digress - thank you for asking. I've been here long enough to get used to such instances - there's no need to worry about me.
You're not wrong. I haven't been here long, but I've heard about the types of things that happen here. Honestly, what I've experienced feels pretty tame in comparison. Weren't there evil plants at some point?
Yes, plants have turned on the inhabitants of this world twice now. Once, due to the influence of someone else's reality converging with this one and another time because of our captor's negligence.
Nothing is safe here, but those moments drive the point home.
Sounds like it. I hadn't heard about people's realities converging with this one before. I guess it makes sense though. I figure that's why we're here in the first place.
Those pulled here permanently sign a contract - forced to live under the thumb of a madman.
The reality convergences that occur lack that. The world is overrun by new rules, new foes - those unbound by the contracts required of us. This has happened twice that I'm aware of, and once that I've experienced.
Both people are no longer of this reality and were pulled back to their own.
No, not as soon as it ended. A timeline is difficult to come up with, given the state of this place. One was a month later. The other, many months.
Though I recognize it's likely a pattern we've yet to decipher. Many people have left in the interim, most without their realities appearing in this place at all.
It's not something I would have chosen for my afterlife. I can say that much, at least.
Still, from my position it's a bit difficult to complain.
I can't blame anyone for being unsatisfied with this place. It's just that most others have some alternative. Suppose I may learn my lesson and eat crow soon enough.
Odasaku isn't the first person to escape death in this reality. He won't be the last. Akechi doesn't know him well and wouldn't give a shit even if he did.]
My condolences - though I'm sure it means little.
Being pulled beyond the grave is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. My mind can't fathom how that feels.
After all, it's not really a second chance - it's only prolonging the inevitable.
I hope you're able to find some kind of solace here, however temporary it is.
Please take care in this reality then. You may be dead in your own, but it's possible to get hurt and die here as well. Though the effect is temporary.

It's a childish scare tactic with no merit. You don't need to send it at all. Nothing will happen to you.

[He has to admit it's pretty funny, though.]
Sorry, Akechi. My roommate sent that message. I'm sure that probably sounds like a lame excuse.
no subject
I hope you're doing well regardless. It's been a taxing few weeks to most.
no subject
Still. They really weren't kidding when they told me this place loses control. You're doing alright yourself, aren't you?
It's nice to meet you properly, by the way.

You really think the universe is collapsing though? Can't say I love that.
no subject
But this world is full of extremes, isn't it? I can't help to wonder about such possibilities.

The main differences are as follows -
Those pulled here permanently sign a contract - forced to live under the thumb of a madman.
The reality convergences that occur lack that. The world is overrun by new rules, new foes - those unbound by the contracts required of us. This has happened twice that I'm aware of, and once that I've experienced.
Both people are no longer of this reality and were pulled back to their own.
Don't you find that strange?
no subject
They were pulled back as soon as the reality convergence ended?
That almost sounds like fufilling a contract.
no subject
Though I recognize it's likely a pattern we've yet to decipher. Many people have left in the interim, most without their realities appearing in this place at all.
It's just an interesting topic.
no subject
Can't say that I like it much, but that's the trouble with contracts. I'm not surprised that people leaving of their own accord is difficult.
no subject
This situation, Vaeros and the contract you were forced to sign?

It may not be a second chance, but it's time I didn't have before. I'm just doing what I have with it.
