[IC] Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

If someone was withholding secrets about my life, I would have considered that bridge burned already anyway. But I'm not trying to sow seeds of dissent in your head. Sounds like you've already got enough going on.

@Audacious

I'm still trying to process all of this. I don't know what to think about it anymore.

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

If I'm going to be here for any significant amount of time, I'm just trying to get a lay of the land. What to expect from people, names to trust, names not to trust. Learn what I can while getting to know you at the same time.

@Valiance

Hm, names to trust... I suppose anyone can be trusted under the perfect circumstances, as well as distrusted. For your purposes, I don't know of someone likely to come here who would gain some sort of advantage by deceiving you. And, of course, you have no guarantee you can trust me.

@Nimda

Maybe just call me crazy, I don't know. If I know of something that seems disagreeable, I can be rebellious... To a fault. I don't want to be a bad influence.

@Legend

Right. Part of the benefit of getting to know you, along with having another potential buddy in this cruel world we share.

@Valiance

Has life been unkind to you?
*Glances toward the blizzard at the door*
The weather today is amicable to a sentimental chat.
*The drones project a wide firepit into the center of the room*

@Audacious

I sort of admire that. You sound like you grab what you want instead of waiting for it to come to you.

@Legend

Generally? No, I just love speaking in popular phrases, like calling the world cruel. A few bad things here and there have happened, sure, but I will acknowledge and even assert I've had it better than most.

@Nimda

What I feel is deserved or earned, yeah. But I don't want my opinions putting things in your head that end up resulting in something negative. I'd feel responsible for anything that happened.

@Valiance

Ah, I see. In any case, what does your history look like?

@Audacious

*Nods*
I understand. I'm going to think it through some more, but it can't hurt to start by asking, right? At least asking a little more assertively.

@Nimda

Only if it's what you want. But definitely not.

*Laughs*
Now that's about as broad of a question as it gets, isn't it?

@Audacious

I mean, I do want to know. I want to know everything. But I don't know what bridges I'm comfortable holding a candle up to.

Consider it in-kind.

@Nimda

And that's where my advice isn't suitable anymore. But I would even offer to help if it was physically possible.

@Audacious

*Holds up my hands*
I couldn't possibly ask you to do that. It's not your problem.

@Legend

I'll play. I was born on a planet called Misneachd, then it was promptly wiped out. I lived, with a handful of people, and moved on to live in an orphanage on another world, until that one was wiped out too, along with the entire interstellar society of my people. But the tragedy ends very early, as I moved on and lived among tiny straggling societies that remained. Eventually found my way into the wider multiverse, made name for myself in a few circles, that grew into... More than a few circles. Eventually, I became known as a patron of my people as they began to rebuild a true society from the ground up, and I helped bring in some of the resources to do so.

@Nimda

*Crosses my arms and grins*
Now what is with you and thinking you have to ask for things to get them from people willing to lend a hand anyway?

*Laughs once*
Maybe that says more about me than anything else. There's still the problem of getting you there though.

@Valiance

*Nods*
I noticed you skipped a step. How did you end up in greater Existence from those broken societies?
