Hoth | Day 7
I can't believe I just got hit in the face with a paper airplane. You know that could put an eye out.

Anyway, I'm Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III.

If I didn't know better I'd think this was the Frostfell. It has to be just as cold as it at any rate. Please tell me it's not always this frigid.

	The memoir he's working on seems promising at least. I think you've coined the campus's new motto; Derleth University: it's not always very reliable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That seems like a massive understatement of a motto. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd say welcome, but it seems inappropriate as far as word choices go. May your stay here be as short as you hoped for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would hate to leave my friends down one in a fight against an ancient white dragon. So gods willing it'll be a very short stay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: private. professorwaugh 2022-02-14 03:11 am UTC (link)
	Thankfully your friends won't notice your disappearance. When you return home it'll be as though you never left, and from what we've been told, you won't remember what happened here while you're there unless you get pulled back here again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Surely time keeps moving there while I'm here though. It would just be undone by my return? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Time does not always pass equally on different planes of existence. It gets particularly challenging when the difference in time between two worlds is inconsistent, but I digress. If time is passing on your world, from here, it's passing so slowly there's no way meaningfully measure it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: private. terribletinker 2022-02-14 03:51 am UTC (link)
	Interesting. It's almost like being in the Feywild rather than a parallel Material plane. Although even the time passage between the Feywild and the Material plane isn't that significant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: private. professorwaugh 2022-02-14 03:57 am UTC (link)
	And because we reset each week to how we arrived, no matter how long any of us are here we won't meaningfully age or appear any different when we're sent home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: private. terribletinker 2022-02-14 04:01 am UTC (link)
	Well it's a lot less delightful than visiting the Feywild. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: private. professorwaugh 2022-02-14 04:09 am UTC (link)
	Maybe I've spent too much time in Fillory, or due to being deposed from my throne by a hostile fairy takeover, Feywild doesn't sound even remotely delightful to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess fairies are dicks in every realm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: private. professorwaugh 2022-02-14 04:17 am UTC (link)
	They really are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: private. terribletinker 2022-02-14 04:18 am UTC (link)
	Fortunately, they're pretty easy to kill. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: private. professorwaugh 2022-02-14 04:30 am UTC (link)
	Ah, that brings me to something else: fairies where you're from may be different than fairies on other realms. Same with vampires, werewolves, elves probably? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: private. terribletinker 2022-02-14 04:39 am UTC (link)
	It stands to reason they would be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: private. professorwaugh 2022-02-14 04:49 am UTC (link)
	Humans are consistent, although there are plenty of individuals enhanced with science here, and different time periods, cultures, technology... Some have never encountered magic before so that's special for them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: private. terribletinker 2022-02-14 05:06 am UTC (link)
	Judging by this device I've been using to communicate on the network, I'd say there's much more advanced technology here than I am used to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The 21st century has its perks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Different calendar in Exandria. That doesn't mean anything to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: private. professorwaugh 2022-02-14 06:13 am UTC (link)
	The majority of the humans here are from versions of a world called Earth where it is the 21st century and the device you hold in your hand is fairly common place. From there it's pretty much a bell curve between those who are from worlds with more or less advanced technology. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: private. terribletinker 2022-02-14 06:19 am UTC (link)
	Interesting that the same races appear on other worlds, across multiple universes. As well as races that don't even exist in Exandria. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a brave new multiverse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: private. terribletinker 2022-02-14 06:38 am UTC (link)
	Never a dull moment anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent)
