If this is someone's idea of a practical joke, they'd better be prepared to sort widgets in engineering for the rest of their natural-born lives. I don't care if your race lives to be a thousand, we will never, ever run out of widgets.

[ooc: just realized I totally put this in the wrong place. Go me. Sorry! Won't happen again.]

[Also, I deleted a few of Shep's icons and now all the ones I used before are out of order. Now some of the icons that were used for comments don't make any sense.]

	It's been a while since they've tried that. The new people probably didn't know. General Anakin Skywalker, Galactic Republic. I've been here over a year now. Some people have been here longer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~A year~~ Well, of all the people I've spoken with so far, you've definitely been here the longest. Thank you for your assistance, General. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You can just call me Anakin. The Galactic Republic's army isn't anywhere near this planet, making people keep to the title seems pointless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Knowing me, I'll probably stick with "Skywalker". ~~interesting name~~ A rank is only as pointless as the actions that warranted it in the first place. You earned it for a reason, and I'm sure it's not just because you were good at barking orders at your men. Don't give it up so easily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Skywalker works.

I commanded an unethically-made army for a ruler who created a galactic civil war for the purpose of convincing a democracy to willingly relinquish dictatorial power to him. Pointless doesn't begin to describe it.

Beside, when we started fighting, we always assumed my position in the conflict would be temporary.

All of this, of course, I learned all after arriving here, where it does me no good.

	~~That's~~ Well, I see what you mean. How did you learn something like that after you arrived? I thought there was no communication with our universes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's true we cannot communicate with our universes. But time here doesn't exist in the same linear fashion as our homes. People you might know from your future could show up. That is how I learned about the future waiting for me when I leave here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

So, let me get this all straight.

There are multiple universes.
This particular universe isn't a part of any of them.
No one knows how they got here or who put them here.
The dead can come back to life, as if nothing happened.
There are dragons, and likely an infinite number of other things that don't actually exist living here as if that's normal.
And people from my future can inexplicably show up and tell me all about all the things I haven't even done yet.

Is there anything I'm missing?

	You're missing the strange things this place does to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Other than the crushing headaches and driving people to alcoholism?~~ I'll bite. What "strange things"? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Since I've been here, a few highlights. We've switched bodies. People have suddenly grown animal parts. This place has jumped us around time. Alternate versions of ourselves have shown up. Some of us have a younger version here as well. There are more things. But you get the idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...I think I'm going to stop asking questions for a little while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	darkforcerising 2013-08-16 09:56 am UTC (link)
	I can't think of anything else to tell you about this place. You might be safe sitting on your questions for a little while. (Reply to this) (Parent)
