I recognise those names, I think. [Not as much Elena, but definitely Sora and Kallen] And right, having to introduce yourself over and over...hoping they don't think you're crazy.

[passingthrough]

Or just figuring, "okay, if they think I'm crazy this time I'll just fix it next week when they they're back and they don't remember again." [She was never actually that glib about it.] I'm surprised how many of us have former experience with that stuff here. It was so rare in my last place. [Because there was a rule change later in the game.]

[save_the_souls]

[He makes a snort at that, well aware shes not actually serious about that mentality] Yeah.

Me too. We had no idea in Paradisa other places like this even existed.

[passingthrough]

In Marina we knew it was a larger system of prisons, but...we never actually saw any other prisoners. It was always just us anytime they moved us to another facility. And it wasn't until Chekov and one of the Elena's arrived that anyone talked about other worlds like the prison.

[save_the_souls]

Really?

So you have no idea how many people were actually at the prison...? [Creepy]

[passingthrough]

In the larger system? No. In the specific prison the number probably ran from 50 to 250, ebbing and flowing. Or a lot more if you consider everyone's bodies were still in storage even if their minds weren't connected anymore. [And yes, she absolutely still wonders if she ever left or if they just changed the setting for her.]

[save_the_souls]

-- Their minds weren't-

What?

[THATS DISTURBING. ]

[passingthrough]

To the shared virtual reality. That probably sounded worse than I meant it. Not that it's good. Hey, you know what, don't worry about it. There's enough weird stuff right here without all of that. Have you seen a ung yet? Super weird.

[save_the_souls]

A shared virtual reality- [He pauses] Like that Matrix movie?

[He remembers watching it once, back at Paradisa]

-- Oh, yeah. I've seen those. They look a bit like my crewmate's pet.

[passingthrough]

I did hear the Matrix referenced after it came out, so probably.

Really? Your crewmate has something like that? [Why?] Where did they get theirs?

[save_the_souls]

That's so strange...

[Because Leliana is strange, that's why]

From her world. It's a Nug- she calls it Schmooples.

[passingthrough]

From nug to ung, huh? Sounds almost like more than a coincidence. Doesn't space seem like it should be...more different? Fewer flamingos anyway?

[save_the_souls]

[Yeah now that he thinks about it...]

Yeah...what's with all the flamingo things anyway? They've been popping up all over the place.

[passingthrough]

No idea, but Jarvis is not enjoying it. I haven't figured out how he and flamingos have a feud yet though.

[save_the_souls]

Jarvis? That's the man that cooked for everyone after the attack, right?

[He'd never forget a cook]

That is...rather strange sounding. I didn't realise flamingos did anything but stand around and...be pink.

[passingthrough]

That's the one. He's a good guy. [Not just because he cooks, but it doesn't hurt!]

Right? I figured that was their whole game too. Maybe he was a fish in is former life? Do they eat fish? I picture them by water. Bugs? I don't know. It doesn't matter.
