Third ☂ Text

Many of you seem to be unhappy.

We don't all necessarily want you to be happy, but acceptance and adaptation to your situation would be a start. The only question that remains is: how?

It is clear to us that your species resolves many issues through communication. Unfortunately, none of us understand the human psyche as clearly as others of your species, and so I leave it to you to communicate with and to help one another.

You may consider this post an open forum in which you can discuss what's been bothering you. In turn, I will conceal your identities, so that you may help one another without preconceived biases. If you'd like to reveal yourselves to one another, the option is there, but unnecessary.

Heal. Recover.

I'll leave you to it.

I hope The Door takes people to their homes when they disappear.

But sometimes I'm scared they've gone back to a place I know nothing good awaits them.
Sometimes I'm not entirely convinced this isn't that place but with a different face.

wormholes like the door do tend to return to places they've been.

statistically, returning to the time and place they came from is likeliest.

[hasitsthorns]

that's relieving

I know home is the best place for at least a few people I've lost

[unfollowing]

i don't

not for everyone, anyway. for some people, going home means death or worse, so i hope they're someplace better than that

[hasitsthorns]

I only say that because most people I know, home is best
but in case it isn't then
yeah

I hope they just ended up somewhere they're happy

[unfollowing]

same. that's all i want

I hope they return home as well. I really do, but I doubt it. I'm sure we'll never return home again. That's been my greatest fear since I've been here.

[hasitsthorns]

You're not alone.
Pretty sure the only thing waiting for me if I vanish is the cold embrace of death.

( anon )

[dragonsgrasp]

How comforting.

[Man he wishes it were easier to express a sarcastic tone through writing, sigh.]

I'm afraid of that too. I was alive when I left my true home, but I died in yet another world before coming here. I'm not sure what may happen.

[ It's okay, she gets it. ]

Oh.
Hey, we got something in common then.
I came from a world that wasn't my home either before here.

Only difference is I died in both.

( anon )

[dragonsgrasp]

That's some terrible luck. Have you died here as well? I... was hoping never to experience death again, but it happened here as well anyway. You never quite get used to it, or so I've noticed.

( anon )

[hasitsthorns]

I haven't.
I've been careful though since I don't trust Hope to bring me back.
They used to revive us in the world I was at before, then they didn't. Left me kind of cautious.

And no, you don't.
It's just as terrible every time.

And what if what awaits them at their home is far worse than being here?

[hasitsthorns]

then I hope they're somewhere happier
somewhere better

[fracturedbeauty]

What if they didn't have to leave here? Do you think there would be a way to make them stay?

[hasitsthorns]

Not unless they wanted to.
And if they didn't, I wouldn't force them.

[knifecollecting]

You weren't at home before you came here?

( anon )

[hasitsthorns]

No.
I was in another world, like Hadriel. But worse.

( anon )

[knifecollecting]

that's...how did you get there?

( anon )

[hasitsthorns]

I don't know.
One morning I woke up with an alarm clock buzzing in my ear and in a room I didn't remember falling asleep in.
I wasn't the only one, either.
But none of us ever found out how they got us there. Just that it happened.

( anon )

[knifecollecting]

So it's kind of like ending up here. Random.

( anon )

[onlythemonstrous]

It's good of you to be concerned, but this isn't that place. This is a vacation, by comparison. I know that isn't the general consensus, but in the interest of anonymity and all.

( anon )

[hasitsthorns]

It is, actually.
The last place I was in was terrible... but it started out alright. Still worse than here by a long shot but by the end I was done with it.
Sometimes I worry - even if if this world isn't the same - that it'll go the same way.

( anon )

[onlythemonstrous]

What, that it will turn out terrible? Or just pointless? That's a fair worry, though perhaps I'm biased.

( anon )

[hasitsthorns]

Terrible.
Though some people here would argue it already might, I'm in the same boat as you.
The place I was in before was way worse.

So here's hoping it doesn't get anywhere close.
