Hello Party People!

Name’s Higgs Monaghan, but y'all can call me just Higgs. It’s a pleasure to be on your wonderful station and I look forward to getting to know y'all.

Little bit about little old me… well I come from a place quite like this except, you know, less alive. You could say “fuckin’ deserted” but that’s a cuss and my mamma raised me right.

Man oh man. It sure is nice to hear the hustle and bustle of a big empty station with lots of little voices. It feels goddamn electric!

Who feels like a chat?

Well! Ain't this funny.

Seems like all the folk who came before me got some kind of warm welcome but y'all seem suspicious of me on the get go!

I already done told you who I am, young miss. I'm Higgs, a humble wanderer, finder of lost things and helper of the people. Back where I was originally from I was a porter, carrying stuff from one place to the next.

My friends are the folk who live on the station I was on before this, also humble working folks trying to get by on what we had with the lot we got dealt. Like all y'all.

Also, seems I ain't caught your name yet.

	I don't want to be suspicious of you. But I can't help it. My story is similar to yours. I came from a worse timeline. Where He had ruined everything. Where He hunted us down. I don't think it was a coincidence that I was brought back. I think He used me when He did that. How did you get here? I'm Gen. Do you not recognise me? Are none of us alive in your world?

	Gen. What a pretty name. Afraid not, friend. I ain't seen your face among mine, may-hap you ain't arrived yet where I came from. If I try hard enough I can move between places, but it costs me the ultimate price and I can't go back along the line. That's the trouble with us repatriates. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Who do you recognise from the contact list? You can move between places? How do you do that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Afraid I don't recognise any of y'all. Universes are a pretty big place I'm afraid. First step, you gotta die. Second step, you gotta pray you are a repatriate. Third step, you gotta find yourself in the seam. Fourth step, you wake up somewhere new. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So, you are not one of us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	homodemens 2020-08-18 10:32 am UTC (link)
	Well now, I'm afraid I don't know how to answer that! What do you mean "one of us"? A human? Part of the gang? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you know anything about our community? Your friends, do their ancestors come from the world you've been at? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	homodemens 2020-08-18 11:13 am UTC (link)
	Just a little bit, like you come from different places (like me) and that you sometimes have doors that go places. (Also birthday parties and stuff.) Am I missing something? And nah, like you lot they are also from all over. Just they are different folks, understand? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You have read the network conversations then. Have you been brought there the same way as us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	homodemens 2020-08-18 11:27 am UTC (link)
	Well, yeah, they have. Me? Maybe, I dunno. Like I say I'm a repatriate, Gen, I travel the seams and beaches of the universes and go where the tide takes me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blacktwin 2020-08-18 12:05 pm UTC (link)
	Sorry, yes, you said that. It sounds tough. ~~How often do you do that?~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	homodemens 2020-08-18 12:08 pm UTC (link)
	Ah it ain't so bad. I get to see the sights of the whole of existence, permeating everything like my namesake. It's a good deal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blacktwin 2020-08-18 12:53 pm UTC (link)
	Can you choose where you go? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	homodemens 2020-08-18 01:28 pm UTC (link)
	I wish! I'd just go home! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blacktwin 2020-08-18 01:41 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. Why did you choose to leave your old place? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	homodemens 2020-08-18 02:09 pm UTC (link)
	I think I said to John below, but as a repatriate, it was the right thing to do. I was one less mouth to feed in a society growing scarcer and harder to survive in, plus I had the benefit of finding a new verse and I wouldn't really be dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blacktwin 2020-08-18 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	Oh right, sorry. It must have been hard to leave your friends behind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	homodemens 2020-08-18 02:39 pm UTC (link)
	I think after a few times you get used to it, but hey... New friends! (Reply to this) (Parent)
