In order to further understand the phenomenon in question, I feel I should gather information from others on their experiences in being drawn to this supposed alternative dimension.

Perhaps one or more of you might volunteer to explain to me the principle experience that brought you to what we’ll label “focused reality shift.”

I much enjoy that phrasing. Not at all as flighty as “bubble theory,” but I warned Dr. Linde on naming things that sound like lavatory cleaning postulations.

Though I do enjoy those cartoon bubbles that clean the toilet. Oh! Imagine if such were true.

	Might I suggest not discounting those of us that were born in your focused reality shift, from those who were brought here? We have memories, stories, etc of this place, but traditions of our own worlds. Also, hi, I'm Cassie, and I think you win my 'Interesting Person of the Week' award. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Brought here, you say? My, if that is true, then the implication is that my theorem on random causality will have to be shifted to accommodate intent. My, this tosses the proverbial “simian wrench” in my hypothesis. No matter, though, science is malleable, not unlike calcium soaked in an acidic compound. ... Oh, you were saying young lady?

Well, maybe I misspoke. We don't really know what brings people here, or if it's sentient. It doesn't seem to be some kind of god, since it brings various deities here, too. I've simply gotten used to the idea that there might be a plan involved, since things seem to happen almost too perfectly sometimes, to be truly random.

And I was just saying hi, and offering what I know to your study, Mr...?

	I think it appears as a tornado for a lot of us. If you mean what we were doing directly before being pulled in, I wasn't doing anything beyond the norm. My roommate and I did movie night one night a week, and I was sitting on the couch eating popcorn with her when it happened. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That was a pretty clever reference. I suppose it makes sense that what we're looking at as a tornado or a vortex isn't what's really happening. Is there any way to get around that? Like open our perceptions wider? Do you want some popcorn? I'm sure you've probably got some there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The thing that brought me here was a tornado that saved me from having a house dropped on my head. And that's that. I would've blamed Glinda for it, but she's more the type to use bubbles and glitter for everything. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's interesting, I'd leave it at that. Falling houses are never safe. Unless you have some sort of reflective barrier, then they're faintly hilarious. I've never heard of such a theory. Glinda just flew around in a bubble, that's all - it was her 'thing', just like Elphaba's was her broomstick. ...Cartoon bubbles? That's a strange thing to say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
