[putting his voice on this thing is...not preferable, but this has to get out to everyone to be even half as effective as aizawa would like it to be. so time to get over it.]

Gathering info for something, so I'd appreciate any participation.

One: length of time you've been here.

Two: whether or not you were in a place like this before, IE forcibly removed from your home universe and kept captive.

Three: something you wish you'd known or been told upon arrival here.

Four: something you miss most desperately from home. No 'family or friends' here, please. Material objects only.

Thanks.

Gathering info for something, so I'd appreciate any participation.

1. Length of time you've been here.

2. Whether or not you were in a place like this before, IE forcibly removed from your home universe and kept captive.

3. Something you wish you'd known or been told upon arrival here.

4. Something you miss most desperately from home. No people, only items.

Thank you.

Is it? How do we know that we're not repeating the patterns of the past?

[expellerhead]

There's drawbacks to be sure. If people are determined then there are ways to communicate necessary information, but putting things like that on the network...I'm not sure about it.

[dothelokimotion]

It doesn't need to be on the network but too much is spread by word of mouth and not particularly well.

Has no one compiled their own independent database?

[expellerhead]

I couldn't help you there.

[well he could, but he's paranoid enough that he doesn't want to even mention it on the network. and also he doesn't know u]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Now that's an interesting attitude. ]

Can't or won't?

[expellerhead]

Whichever one you feel like believing, I guess.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Hmm. ]

Perhaps this would be easier in person. Even on the planet itself?

[expellerhead]

Raincheck.

[dothelokimotion]

Do we at leas get to know what our information is being used for?

[expellerhead]

Of course. ['of course' he says like he hasn't been a cagey fuck this whole conversation] There's a newcomers' guide, but it's very outdated. I'm going to try and put together something more relevant.

[dothelokimotion]

How so?

[expellerhead]

See for yourself.

[dothelokimotion]

Well now. Not too shabby.

[expellerhead]

Well.

Enjoy, then. Hopefully the update won't disappoint.

[dothelokimotion]

Has that happened before?

[expellerhead]

You'll have to be more specific.

[dothelokimotion]

These updates. How consistently are they kept track of?

[expellerhead]

As far as I know, you're looking at it. There hasn't been a guide prior...or if there was, it's not in the network anymore.

[dothelokimotion]

How convenient.

You don't think the same might happen with this one?

[expellerhead]

I wouldn't rule out the possibility.

[dothelokimotion]

Are there any possibilities that have been ruled out?

[expellerhead]

As I get answers to these questions, yeah. Quite a few.

[dothelokimotion]

Would you be willing to let us know?

[expellerhead]

You seem to be laboring under the impression that I know a lot of things I'm not telling.

All of this information digging is just for a newcomer's guide. I don't have anything else to offer you.

[dothelokimotion]

You were giving off that impression.
