Explaination Post the Third. Filtered from Evil and the added evils
Hello. My name is Ruby Winchester. You killed my father, prepare...
No but seriously. I’m Ruby, I’m a native here and have been hanging around Lawrence nearly 3 years, ever since you people started pouring through. I’m being helpful by shamelessly updating something a non native Seeley Booth did, and before him Andrew Wells. I’ve added a few things to bring it up to date but this is their baby. If there's stuff I didn't post. Comment it and it will get added.
1. Where/when You're in Lawrence, Kansas. The year is currently 2012 The planet is called Earth. Orbits one sun. This is a completely different dimension. You probably are thinking I'm crazy, this is crazy, it's some kind of weird and wacky dream. No, sorry. It's really not. Which brings me to the next point.
2. How did I get here. A seal. The 33rd seal. One of the 66 seals over hell that we think may or may not be sentient and also kind of a douche. It brings people here to fight a war for it and for some reason also brings crazy people. Maybe it’s all about the balance or maybe, as I said, it’s just a douche. But the seals existed and were broken to free the Devil himself. Lucifer. Yes that Lucifer. The Morningstar, the father of all lies (which really not so much, he lies with the truth. It sucks) For those of you not from earth, he’s like deity powered, think Gods. Oh we have those too, (Hi Thor. You have sexy hair) Anyway, Lucifer wanted the apocalypse to happen because he doesn’t think his Daddy loved him enough, and he rose after the seals broke Sorry about that, long story, no longer evil. Feel bad. In this world the apocalypses are Biblical. Demons, Lucifer, just about all the creepy stuff of ghost stories is real and here in this place. Most of them wanting to screw with us. (Not me. I’m awesome.)
3. Wait, demons? Yes. As in from hell. In this world there are demons, Angels, and the supernatural. Though it's probably pretty different then the stuff you're used too. Just killing them is bad. Demons have to be exorcised with Latin. Don't know Latin? Not a problem. Quite a few of us here do, and there are classes. We're all stuck here so we help each other out how we can. We don't want anybody left behind. These classes aren't mandatory, but they are highly recommended. Also the reason demons can't just be killed is because they don't have their own bodies. They possess others. If that person they possess is still alive then they can be set free by the exorcism. If you try to kill them, you're killing an innocent person. So please use caution and the exorcism rather then swords of fury or whatever it is you have handy. (Oh Booth, I approve of you. I want a sword of fury) 4.Protection. I bet right now you're thinking, but I have super powers, I don't have to worry about possession but you do. Imagine you are possessed, with said super power. Now the demon possessing you has total control over that power and your body So it's going to put people more at risk then the norm. But that's where protection comes in. We do provide amulets for you to wear that are charmed for anti possession. Don't get me wrong, they aren't infallible and can be torn off us or removed, but there are other means of protection that are more permanent.
You can get a tattoo of the symbol. But I warn you it has to be exact and precise otherwise it won't work. Period. (I can help with this. Me and my husband and his family. Come find us)
5. Wait, did you say super powers? Yes I did. You may be used to considering certain people or characters fictional where you come from, but here just like you they get pulled from their own worlds and exist in this one. Superman could end up being your next door neighbour, Werewolves, vampires, sparklepires, Jedi, FBI guys with the power of sass or all of the above)
For those who do arrive and end up being fictional in this world, sorry. It sucks trust me but people are pretty decent about accepting that kind of thing around here. The faster you accept it the better you'll adjust. Think carefully before wiki’ing yourself. And avoid ff.net and You Tube. For the love of sanity. Avoid avoid avoid 6. Wait, I still have my cellphone/laptop/other device for communication, can't I call home? No, sorry. I wish as much as you did that dimension hopping came with a cell phone plan, but it doesn't yet. ET lied to you. 7. How do I get home? We've been working on that. Some get sent home randomly, others have been home and came back and there are some who have been here for almost two years now. There’s no surefire way and no way to initiate the whole thing yourself. Basically, you’re stuck. 8. What about portals! Sorry, it's been tried. No dice. But if that Chick from my husband's game with the evil computer shows up I am pointing her gun at a devils gate. Worth a shot.
9. What do I do here, I don't know Latin/can't fight. We offer classes as I've stated before ranging from combat to firearms and will teach you these different skills. We aren't just going to leave you high and dry. These classes are taught by highly skilled and qualified individuals. We don't just hand pick them out of a hat based on who wants to teach. And the important thing to note. You got picked for a reason. You got pulled here because some higher power thought you were worthy. So don’t for a second think you’re useless. Or I will find you and kick you. You will find your purpose. And maybe even build a little
10. I don't even have a place to live, where do I go, what do I do? We've set up a safe zone for arrivals. A complex. It's regularly stocked with food and supplies by myself and a few of the others with jobs who contribute regularly. We have all kinds of people ranging from supernatural to normal, all are welcome. We know it's hard for fictional characters to find jobs and pay for items of interest so we do try to provide as much as we can for you. If you want to work or have a specialty there are some people that can help you with that process by setting up an identification for you.
We do ask that you go about job hunting with caution. Please don't request to go immediately to the lime light of a similar company as it will draw unwanted attention both for you and this complex. (Unless you’re Tony Stark apparently who doesn’t care and just wants to make stuff that blows up other stuff) We can glamour you if it comes to it, and there are ways and means. Magic is amazing. Basically.
The complex is located here. [address] and a Map is located here [map]
