Happy birthday then, even though it kinda sounds like the circumstances sucked.

This is Template, and folks do tend to die in their own worlds before arriving here. At least, that's what I've noticed.

Thank you. [Small smile.]

... I see. [Bites lip.] Are people normally... healed when they come here?

Welcome.

I'd say yeah. A friend of mine apparently died from a wound to the neck and it looks like it was already scarred over by the time she woke up here.

... Oh. Well, I guess I'm in one piece, so that makes sense.

Yeeep. Template's weird like that. ... Really, it is weird. Stuff happens here that doesn't normally happen, and I don't know if anyone knows why or how. Like, say, folks getting dragged here from other worlds, for starters.

[Pause. What.] Other worlds?

Yup. Some have better technology than others, for example - heck, I didn't even know what a computer was before arriving here. And some worlds are like each other, which means a couple versions of the same person can arrive here.

Like I said, this Template's weird.

[Pauses for even longer, looks slightly distracted for a moment.]

Different... versions? Of the same person? [Frowns.]

Yeah. There was another me for a while there - I think he's probably gone by now, haven't heard from 'im in forever.

How similar was he?

He was like me some months before I arrived here, actually. Then he disappeared, reappeared without any memories of this place, and...well, I dunno what he was like then. Didn't stick around long enough that time.

Of course, there were some differences. Not the least of which was that his world had better technology.

So they can appear from different times?

... [Sudden look of horror.]

tickingshadows September 6 2008, 15:03:10 UTC
Bingo. And yeah, you're right, that whole timeline mess thingy isn't always a good thing.

humallelujah September 6 2008, 15:05:12 UTC
So another me could be from...

Anything else I should know about this place?

Weird things happen here - people wake up with strange tattoos, so on - and the folks in charge aren't exactly on our side. [Scowls a bit.] If something goes really wrong here, like some part of the city blowing up at random for example, then there's a chance that the old hag in charge might set the police on us arrivals again. And the police don't actually do anything for us when they're needed.

I'm used to people in charge not being on my side.

Part of the city blew up? Was it a terrorist attack?
