I've seen nothing else regarding the sale of that Nephilim girl. I trust the situation was taken care of?

If anyone needs any help dealing with that, I'd be happy to strangle that bastard with my BARE HANDS HOW DARE HE help. In any way.

Haven't seen much of any of you lately. Are you all okay? Or have you all been eaten temporarily by one of those strange Rifts? Would be my luck.

Hello, how does this work? Where are you?

Hello? My name is Ruvin. I found this book on the floor. Are you inside it?

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

Hi there, I'm Dr. Brown. Take it you're new to this world. . .

I'm not inside the book. I -- don't know how much anyone explained your current situation to you, but here we have a system of journals that are all psychically linked. Anybody can see entries anybody else has written, unless you specify that only certain people can (i.e., [Locked to So-and-So]). It's a pretty convenient way of communicating with fellow Wanderers and the like. We all get one shortly after arriving.

I know that I'm stuck here, that I'll die if I try to go home. Who gives them to us people?

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

. . . Honestly, from what I've heard (and experienced myself), they just -- appear. In whatever shape you're most comfortable with, no less. Somebody ought to find out more about that.

You're in a very strange universe, Ruvin.

And what about those things that we people come through? Has no one tried to close them?

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

Close? Not to my knowledge. There have been attempts to reverse them, with a view to us all going home. None of them have worked yet. Whatever the Rift really is, it appears to be resistant to being changed.

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

Er, I don't know everyone who's tried. The name that keeps popping up is The Doctor (that's what he goes by, anyway). Nice enough person, though "mad" might not be a bad adjective to describe how he acts sometimes. . .

I keep forgetting there is no council here. But can't they sense the nature of that thing?

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

No one's mentioned being able to. Maybe there are people here who can, but I've never run into any of them. I think most of us just look at the Rift as "the hole between multiple dimensions that keeps spitting out people."

The fact I can write that without blinking says I've been here too long.

[If one could communicate a long and flabbergasted through text, she would be doing that right now]

They can't feel it. They can't feel it and they still tried to alter--to REVERSE it?

So there are many, then, who have been forced here.

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

When they tried to reverse it -- they were trying to send us back. A lot of us want to go home, and. . . .

If trying to alter the Rift is bringing more people through than -- whatever passes for "normal" with it -- however. . . .

Damn it, this world should NOT be this complicated!

There is no way back. I can feel

I want to go home. But my desires are subordinate to the oaths I took, one being to make sure that the pattern of the world stays unpolluted. It is impossible to return through them, therefore they must be closed from this side.

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

. . . You're not going to get a lot of support on that. But you probably know that already.

Also this isn't We don't

[changingtheodds.livejournal.com]

Popularity isn't something with which I am particularly concerned.

...you don't what?

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

All right.

It's not important.

[changingtheodds.livejournal.com]

It's better then letting probability collapse.

As you'll have it.
