Hey! So these questions may be sooooooo weird but I'm super curious!!

My friend was telling me a while ago about how she met some different people here, like a lizard (!) and stuff. That's kind of weird where we come from so I was wondering how many other people here aren't exactly human and from different places.

- Are you non-human / Do you know any non-humans?
- Where are you from? Like a different planet or world or something? How does that even work lol?
- Is there non-human stuff in your world? Not like animals and bugs, but aliens or stuff like that. Weirder stuff!
- Do they have phones and stuff where you come from? Cuz there's a looooot of people here who seem kind of tech illiterate.

Sorry if this is super weird. I'm kinda new and the only strange stuff my world has is zombies. Also even if you are a regular person you can answer the other stuff too, like getting to know each other!

( This may be information harvesting and a way to make sure Elise doesn't assume the sentient creatures in this place are monsters of the week she needs to smash. Or it's something way more innocent. Who's to say! )

So you're one of the more average people here I guess. You must be new to the whole ~monsters lurking around~ thing.

You people do certainly care a lot about one's nature, don't you? We're all the same even if our species is different. Anyway, to give you a reply...

I'm not human and I was raised by non humans, still I do know a lot of humans both from here and my world.

I'm from the Blue Planet. It's a different world and one of the many planets out there. Before you tell me it's a strange name let me tell you someone's planet is basically callet 'dirt' so I guess we're all weird. [Seriously, you call your homeworld 'Earth'?]

Lots of them, everywhere. And humans are quite weird too, by the way.

No, never seen a phone before, even if a species called lunarian seems rather... advanced, I bet they have them. I... think this should be all? Also, zombie can be actually pretty nice, at least in my world, if you give them a chance.

[farsighting]

Sorry! I guess it's second nature to care about that kind of thing when the world you come from isn't super sci-fi.

From the video feed you don't look like what you'd usually consider non-human where I come from...usually aliens are big blobs or pop out of your chest. Or the whole 'little green men' thing.

But on the topic of zombies, they may be like that where you come from but there's no reasoning with them in my world. It's a "kill or be killed" thing.

[circumitus]

whats the deal with people coming from zombies?
swear we could probably make a headcount on those alone.

[farsighting]

Is it that popular a trend? How many others can you think of if you had to estimate a number ?

[utulien_aure]

If by human you mean Men, we first saw them roughly one hundred and fifty years ago. Or at least the Noldor did; they seem to have met other elves and dwarves before us.

[farsighting]

Care to expand on that a little more? Sounds like that tabletop game someone I know is into.

[sciencelizard]

so uhhh i will totally answer ur poll but
whos your friend
because im pretty sure im the only person here that might qualify as a lizard
even if im not
technically

we have phones tho

[farsighting]

( Well, as long as this is the only lizard, it won't hurt to give out a lil info. )

Her name is Hotaru! If you didn't meet her on the network, she's about 5' 7", really pretty with short black hair.

If you're who she was talking about, I'm definitely curious about where you come from.

[Okay, Taako could answer this properly, considering he's not human and from a crazy-ass setting, but he's gonna focus on the important thing here.]

zombies? seriously?
like the slow and shambly kind where theres a ton of em or the fast and deadly ones where theres only like five
both are bad but im tryin to figure out how screwed you were

[farsighting]

A mix of both. Tons of them sometimes and they move pretty quickly.

[hasitsthorns]

-Non-human
-The Makai, orginally. Then earth. Then Haven. Now here.
-Yes and plenty of it
-Yes, they do.

[farsighting]

The Makai, huh? That's definitely not something I've heard of before. How different is that place from where you are now?

[save_theworld]

Curious is good though! Because there are a lot of people here and one of them is a lizard! She's really nice.

I'm human but I know a lot of monsters. I'm from the same world as them, which is earth but I guess not your earth? Do you come from earth? My world has lots of monsters but they were locked away for a really long time. I guess they're weird if you don't know them?

And yes we have phones. Monsters are good with phones. The lizard (her name is Alphys) is a scientist. She built a super cool robot! He's here too!

We don't have zombies though that doesn't sound as fun.

[farsighting]

I'm from Earth, yeah...feels kind of weird that I have to specify that lol

That's definitely not the Earth I'm used to though. Unless the monsters you're talking about ARE our zombies somehow and someone unlocked the door of Hell and let them all out.

But then again I don't think a zombie could use a phone so probably a different world altogether lol. Let alone build a robot...it's kind of funny imagining a lizard trying to do that.

[skelebro]

hey, always good to make sure.
but yeah, there's plenty of monsters here.
the good kind of monster.

[farsighting]

What exactly do you consider to be "the good kind of monster" ?

[Text]

[telephoning]

I'm from Earth. The United States, specifically. No aliens.

[Not that she was aware of, at any rate.]

Zombies don't sound to me like an "only".

[farsighting]

When you consider this place has a lizard person and mutated lion creatures, it kinda feels like an 'only.' Like moving on from Level 1 to Level 2.

[einselective]

I can only assume the parasites lording over us favor the technologically illiterate, considering their enemies. You're right, however. Even the bits of familiar technology that do exist here generally seem to out of date.

What do you do where you're from?

[Why waste time on the other questions, really.]

[farsighting]

Makes sense. If I was going to inflict some kind of torture on people, I definitely wouldn't want them to be well equipped with actual internet.

What do I do...like a job ?

[goldpoints]

I'm a space bitch from the future and the past.

[who shitposts. and who is kind of judging elise right now FOR REASONS.]

[farsighting]

I had no idea you were into weird alien roleplay.

( that's only like a step away from tentacles man )

[lifetothefullest]

[Zombies, huh. He's curious enough at that--especially since there's mention of a friend--to bother answering, even though he's pretty sure his responses aren't going to be very interesting.]

It's just humans where I'm from. I live in Washington, D.C., in the United States, and yeah there's a lot of technology. The phones we have at home are really similar to these ones.

Zombies don't sound like much fun to deal with.

[farsighting]

We have phones too, but they're a bit better than these and I kinda miss the bigger screens. But I also expect that kind of thing from a place like Washington DC.

I think zombies by definition aren't exactly a walk in the park lol

[ A long text, but Caroline can relate to being wordy and wanting to gather more information. Plus, maybe she answers because of wanting distractions for the events of the last month. Ugh. So, she replies. Honestly, but not with nearly as much detail as she could.

After all, she doesn't go around telling just anyone she's a vampire. ]

My world's made up of humans too, but there are special humans among them. Not like, superhero stuff, though. They're made and are born special through magic, which, also exists there.

I'm from Virginia. Where you you from? And, we definitely have phones and stuff. I'm modern.

I don't know if everyone who isn't strictly human will be entirely open to answering all these questions honestly or not, but I don't think it's all that super weird to ask. Of course you wanna know. And I don't think anyone knows how people from actual different worlds are brought here...

[farsighting]

Another place with some magic? That's interesting -- what kind of magic is it though ? That mind sound silly but there's so many kinds you see on TV and stuff !

I'm from a pretty average town. Not too big, not too small. Everything is pretty modern there too or at least it's modern to me. Also I kinda figured some people might not answer OR lie and stuff. It's still pretty interesting to see what people have to say, though!

[occupiesvitalregions]

whoa there are actually zombies in your world? that's only the stuff of movies where i'm from.

i think we're all from different planets or whatever? or even different times. like i used to know someone here from home, who was way younger than when i last saw him. it was awkward

or people might be from Earth but they're from different versions of Earth than yours, you know??

all this time/space stuff is complicated

anyway i'm human but different, more awesome i guess you can say. that's also complicated

and yeah we have phones and technology and stuff where i'm from. are you from Earth? cuz i am and it was 2017 there

[farsighting]

It used to be only movie stuff in my world too buuuuut not anymore. Don't ask why or how, nobody knows.

The time period stuff I haven't heard before, but I guess if you come from a different world it makes sense we wouldn't all be in on the same date or something ! (2017 is a little in the future but preeeetty close to where we were year wise, I bet the new phones are awesome in 2017).

I don't mind complicated, so tell me what you mean by more awesome! Sounds like some kind of superhero thing.....are you strong or can fly?

[hornrims]

Define regular person.

[farsighting]

Yeah based on the responses that's kinda not helpful, huh? To me regular is idk human....like no superpowers or magic, just a human with human capabilities.

[armcollector]

1. i'm human but i have a buddy from home here who isn't and also plenty of friends back home that also aren't.

2. i'm from faerun? toril? i don't know if this sounds familiar to you also the way it works is there's a bunch of different planes of existence there's like a whole thing i barely understand so i don't wanna get too deep into it.

3. we don't have aliens (maybe) but aside from humans we have elves, dwarves, dragonborn, orcs, uhh, gnomes... robots... you know, just all your basic stuff. there's more than that, and then there are all the subtypes?? there's a lot.

4. i don't know what a phone is dude

[farsighting]

You're using a phone rn to type! That thing is a phone.

Those sound like names from a weird fantasy novel, so nope! Not familiar. But my world doesn't have different existence places (at least I don't think lol) so thaaaaat's probably why.

Speaking of fantasy stuff that's a lot of mythical weirdness you have going on. I kind of maybe know what those things are but not a lot about them since fantasy isn't really my genre.

Oh but I know robots. Based on that list yours are probably way more advanced, though.

[ritualized]

[Her responses will be very sporadic throughout this thread, as she's coming in and out of consciousness following the party bender.]

These are so cute!

though I'm not sure why this is the only food item....

I've used a "cell" phone a few times before, but it was nothing like this! And I'm German, technically.

[farsighting]

Germany is interesting! I popped in there for a weekend when I lived in France. Weird you didn't use a cellphone though, unless you're from a different time or something.

Also I guess you don't get the salt joke lol

[You better believe he is stalking the heck out of this post. While he (snootily) dislikes the emojis and casual tone, the questions are admittedly things he has been wondering about his fellow captives.]

What do you mean "how does that even work"?

[farsighting]

Kind of exactly what I said lol like hooooooooow do you pull all these people together from different planets and times and stuff!
