I've sort of been surprised before about just how long I've been here, so I'll skip that part of this post and instead focus on how in that time I've met way more people than I would have ever expected. I spent a number of years traveling on my own before a bunch of wild adventurers shook up my life, so maybe I should be used to that. The difference between that and here, though, is how we're all from such varied, different places. Back home we were a scattered group across continents, but here in Vallo it's worlds.

I know this isn't news to literally anyone here, but it just had me thinking and I wanted to ask: what's your original home like, wherever you were before you were here? From those I've talked to, it's been a real variety with some having similar to Vallo itself, others from places with no magic, some in space. So, if you're so inclined, tell me about it.

Oh and I should add that the last thing I want is for anyone to get too overwhelmed or bummed with homesickness, so don't feel like you need to answer this if it'll be too much. I'm curious and want to get to know folks, but not so much that I want anyone to feel bad.

Not NEARLY as cool as this place. People dying left and right, yet people seem to rarely move out of the area. Monsters and demons and things that go bump in the night. Oh and it's like super frowned on to the point you might think it's illegal to be gay, which I mean I know sounds surprising given the first thing I mentioned but I don't think many people really know what's happening outside of a handful of us, which also seems pretty suspect but that's just how it goes. But otherwise it's like normal suburbia in the 1980s for us? Which uh, I don't know if that means anything to you.

Nancy told me a bit about your home and boy, it sounds like a ride. A lot of it is a little outside my realm of understanding, especially it feeling illegal to be gay, but I hope Vallo is treating you a lot better in all areas.

Home is nothing like this. Well, werewolves, Druids, Kitsune’s…that’s probably a lot more like Vallo. But most people don’t know about that stuff existing in Beacon Hills. So for the most part it’s an ordinary town where a lot of things happen most people can’t explain.

Werewolves and druids, I'm used to from my own home. The village that I grew up in has a ton of druids, including some of my family.

I'm from New York, but I was attending a secret magic graduate school for magicians. The world at large didn't know about real magic and most likely wouldn't believe it if anyone told them.

There was always something happening. Time loops, quests, death, beasts, evil people, fairies, demons, you know, your typical day. Ok, that was sarcasm. Not much was typical as a magician back home. I miss it though. I miss my friends.

It's funny, because you say that in jest--or sarcasm, same difference--but that's not too far from a typical day for me back home, too. I'd suspect a lot of people here might say the same. Vallo must just be attracted to folks like us, probably so we're ready for when mushrooms attack.

Darkness. We call it the "long night", only it lasts years. There's a plague that blocks the light and emboldens daemons, sending our world into disarray.

Before that, and hopefully after, it's a beautiful world. The city we come from is much like Vallo, technologically advanced, beautiful, lively, and a bit separated from the outside world. Magic isn't widely known there, Noctis comes from the line of a family that was gifted the ability to use it, and we're linked to him with the ability to use it to varying degrees. Beyond that, we typically rely on technology and weaponry to get by on a daily basis.

Oh boy, that sounds like a lot. I've never heard of a plague that could do something like that, but I hope there is an after for your world because it does sound pretty lovely.

A lot like this place in some ways, but also more wild. Werewolves, vampires, gods, monsters, aliens, time travel, magic, demons, super villains, end of the universe events. Fun times.

The world I come is made of four oceans and each ocean has hundreds of islands. Each island has their own weather and seasons. There are islands that are summer islands and islands that are spring islands. My favorite is autumn on a spring island.

Magic doesn't exist in the world I come from (at least I don't think it does. I haven't come across it yet), but people can be gifted with special abilities if they eat a special kind of fruit called Devil Fruits. For example, I ate the Hana Hana no Mi and now I can sprout parts of my body pretty much anywhere I like. My captain ate the Gumu Gumu no Mi and now he's a rubber man. The doctor of our crew is a reindeer who ate Hito Hito no Mi which allows him to transform into a human and reindeer-human hybrid at will.

Oh wow, that's really neat sounding--the islands and the fruits. I don't think we have anything too similar to that back home, though we do have magic. Maybe that's the trade.

A lot more magic and a lot less technology. Actually, no technology. Greenhouses are cutting edge and the fastest way of getting anywhere is a good horse.

We have magic, but it's secret, so for all I know there's loads of different kinds as well. Being here's made me think about it. Pretty sure the mals only want to eat people with my kind, though, or there'd be loads more of them everywhere.

We do not have magic at home, or much in the way of technology beyond cannons, but we do have a lot more dragons. And every new person I meet does not say 'oh, are you a DRAGON' as though that is the strangest thing possible to be, when there are mushrooms and things going about killing people.
