[Ol' Gil has a lot on his mind lately, one of which is this:]
hypothetically
if the door stopped doing it's thing and bad shit stopped happening, and the gods were able to send us home,
would you choose to stay here? why??

I closed my eyes and found myself here- with a helmet that had been cloven down the middle.
I would happily take another explanation, but death does seem the most likely.

going down in battle is pretty noble and badass. probably doesn't make dying any less shitty tho.
i really want to find a way out of this place, but i think first i want wa way to get it in our control first. no more bad shit happening, no more reliance on gods. but that means getting a handle on supplies when we're stuck in a cave?? ugh.
no subject
So I assume your preference would be to leave as soon as possible? [Well, more than fair.]
I've not yet made up my mind on these god, but I can tell you that rebellions against Powers are tricky-especially if you wish to get out alive. And yes, I would think a plan for supplies would be the bare mjnimum of what you would need as a viable alternative to these gods.
Do you have one?
no subject
i mean i'd probably want to go home right?
haha this place is a hellhole!
but i don't want to leave this place shitty for the people who want to stay, either
i think in a perfect situation, people could get to leave and go to whatever world you want. so if you were dead in one, you got to try another. maybe i could find some totally awesome world for my totally awesome self
no subject
He doesn't know what choice he'd make either.]
It is certainly no easy place to be. In my home, there are great underground cities of the dwarves which I might compare this place to- though my kin who have lived long among those folk would correct me sharply for doing so. But for most other races, I imagine it would be strange to live so long without sight of the sky.
That would be an ideal situation, yes. Endless worlds to see and explore- though how would you know the worlds which were "awesome" enough for you?
no subject
hmmm any world where i get to kick ass and take names again, where i get to do a lot of cool stuff and look cool doing it B)
no subject
Been on the battlefield yourself, have you?
no subject
cuz of reasons
it's complicated
but since i got here i've picked up a sword again and i'm out most days in the caves fighting off monsters, it's totally cool
no subject
I've been fighting for nearly five centuries; by now it's hard to imagine not being at war.
It is! I've been out a few times with an old friend, and I've never seen anything like some of the creatures here. Now if the caves only had dragons....
no subject
well i've been around for over 8 centuries and you're the first person i've met in a long time that even comes close
i mean next to some people i know back home
and don't hold your breath when it comes to dragons, dude. knowing this place, it's only a matter of time

My people's war has lasted near five hundred years of the Sun; I was grown when it began, though it sometimes feels otherwise.
[Depending on how one looks at it, he's either about 240 or 2500. Ish.
...It's a long story.]
So there are more people like you in your world?
Something to look forward to, then- I've been hoping to get the chance for some time now. Are there any monsters you've been occupied with, in the meantime?
no subject
i'm human. kinda. sorta. I look human. it's hard to explain over text. someday in the bar over beer and war stories i can explain it. there have only been a few hundred like me on a planet of currently 7 billion
ok so in the caves there are these little green monsters with knives and lanterns. they move really slow and look totally harmless but those knives pack a punch!! they're really weird!
no subject
There are seven billion people on your world? [Wow. Just...wow- but how does everyone feed themselves?]
I haven't yet seen any of those! A fair number of bugs, and two unpleasant flying monsters. But there's always the next time!
no subject
ok man you got it. i totally owe you a beer sometime then
i think i need to know your name for that tho
no subject
I didn't mention my name? How rude of me; my mother would be appalled.
Fingon Fingolfinion, most recently of Hithlum. Well met, and may I ask yours in return?

I think I'm out of practice.
