Ooh looks like I got a letter!

Though I'm in two minds about it, I'm in no rush to go home, I've only just started gettin' used to this place. But old Raven is curious to see what this 'Gate' thing will be like. Anyone else out there thinking of jumping through it to just see what happens?

[crisisrain]

Not even a tiny bit curious?

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

I'm curious, but that doesn't mean I want to jump through it.

[crisisrain]

Valid point. Though just lookin' at it won't give any answers. Could throw something into it.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Some people plan on jumping on, so we'll just have to see how that works.

[crisisrain]

So there really are people who believe the gate will take them home.

I wonder how they'll feel if it does turn out to be a lie, actually, I wonder how everyone left behind will react if it did turn out to be a way home... Urgh, they like to make things awkward huh?

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

I don't know whether they actually believe it or are desperate enough to believe it. Others probably feel obligated to return no matter what.

We'll just have to see how it turns out.

[crisisrain]

Probably feelin' both of those. I've got no idea what you guys have been through before I showed up but if it's forcing people into such desperate measures, then it must get pretty bad at times by the sound of it.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Some of them have been pretty bad. It doesn't happen often, but I suppose not everyone could endure it.

[crisisrain]

People have different levels of tolerance, it's ta be expected really. But for somethin' to be so bad you'd wanna run away back home, I don't really wanna imagine.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

I don't know if it's as much as running away as just wanting to return home. Even if it isn't that bad here, some people just get homesick. [Like Ted. So much like Ted.]

[crisisrain]

Well 'course people get homesick, but ta be willin' to take such a risk is somethin' else.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

I heard some people have something they really need to do back home. It's enough for the to risk it.

[crisisrain]

Well there was some pretty important stuff goin' on in my world before I left. Can't say I'm all that keen to go back.

What about you? Was yer world lovely and peacefull or at the brink of disaster?

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Who knows? All I'm sure of is that if I return, a giant queen ant is going to welcome me for dinner... and not in a good way.

[crisisrain]

Ok, I have to admit, wasn't expecting ta hear that.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Neither would most people, I'm sure.

[crisisrain]

Well back in my world before I left, the entire planet was about ta be devoured by a massive tentacle monster.

Puttin' it bluntly of course.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

...

[crisisrain]

Heh heh. Ain't life fun?

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

It sounds like life likes giving us the strangest surprises. You'd think I'd be used to it by now.

[crisisrain]

If it didn't, life would be a bit borin' don't ya think?

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

True. At least it keeps us guessing.

[crisisrain]

The only time that folks original world comes into play is when there's a potential ta go home. Otherwise ya'd be better off not knowin' most of the time.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

It makes me wonder what kind of life some people plan on returning to, especially those who still have something important to accomplish.

[crisisrain]

Well it's not just people how have important things ta do. This place isn't exactly quiet or peacefull with a constant lurkin' threat, some people might've come from worlds were they were genuinely happy with their lives.
