Hey, okay, so... question: if I'm understanding Kate Bishop's guide correctly, we're v2.0 of this and there was a separate world before this that Lachesis imported people to...and then moved them from? Right? Anyone with more info on that?

For that matter, any clue who's been here the longest?

And speaking of being here a long time, anyone know the rules and regulations of modifying one's apartment here? Specifically the Maurtia Falls Govt. Apartment Complex. I mean, I don't want to do anything drastic--just to be clear, definitely NOT talking about knocking out walls here--just a nice coat of paint and stuff. (Hermann: see attached file)

i think it might be ruka?
kanaya's been around a long time too
aaand tony stark?

Stark? That's awesomely convenient. I need to make an appointment with him anyway.

Hey, while you're here, you know if any of those guys were imPorted from that other world or just ported directly here from their homeworld?

"it is better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission."

i believe this is the saying?

Ha! I like the way you think--not sure my landlords will--but I definitely like how you think.

Yeah, just between you and me, I'm doing the thing regardless.

What kind of name is "Scarlet Witch"? Superhero, I take it? Or villain?

Right. They call the one before this the City. I don't see any problems redoing paint jobs, unless whoever else lives with you doesn't like it or it's poorly done.

[Will accidentally had one of the government houses in De Chima destroyed, if anyone gets pissy over a change in paint he will be floored. And then maybe pull up video of how much worse it could be.]

Creative naming system. I like the new names better. Anything particularly notable about the City, other than being v1.0?

Well, nobody lives with me, so I definitely don't have to worry about roommate issues. Not that I'd care if Hermann hated it anyway.

[Newt's actually not repainting. He's going to convert his place into something of a lab. Not spilling the beans upfront is a sizable achievement.]

neither. it is not only heroes and villains who hide their true selves.

but i could ask you the same? newt? you are a lizard?

A rockstar, then.

WRONG!! Newts are amphibians.

all three of em were brought in from the City, im pretty sure
oh yeah, spiderman too
dunno about others, though

[sorry spidey, forgot the hyphen again]

From what I've heard, it sounds more brutal than this one. But I might have been given some of the more brutal stories because they're memorable. You should be fine, in that case.

[And also for the reason listed above, as long as that lab doesn't start doing crazy illegal experiments or anything.]

Four. Okay. Four isn't bad, considering it's been, what...five years since the City kicked them out and a year since they landed here?

Any idea how to contact these import veterans?

[Shame on you.]

That, and because nobody wants to say they survived the Very Mundane Summer of 2009, because that's just lame, but if they tell they survived the Brutal Event, they sound like a rockstar.

Good to know. I'm putting you down on record for that, should anyone ask.

mm, think it was more like 5-6 years since the City started dragging them in in the first place
from what ive heard there was some kind of other porter there that was involved in wrecking that universe and lachesis saved em somehow by dragging em here going on a year and a half ago by now
then the rest of us started showing up a month later
you could hit up their inboxes
should be a search function somewhere on here

[There's some quick fiddling as he reminds himself how to do it, then sends off a couple directions. Don't be offended by how simplistic they are; he doesn't really understand anything more technical than that himself.]

I was also linked to this if you haven't seen it yet. Something of an extended guide, I haven't manage to read all of it quite yet.

What on Earth do you plan on painting?

[Not that he's not very interested. He'd outfit his entire apartment with that paint if he thought he'd get away with it]

Wow, that looks...surprisingly thorough. I'll get back to you on that one. I'm going to have find a better place to take notes than on this thing. Why don't you link me these things BEFORE I make public posts?

Kaiju on the walls. [No, not really.] Hey, you want the paint? --you know you do. Plus it's on sale. You could have a chalkboard on the ceiling, even. Actually, I think that sounds like a pretty awesome idea.

Oh okay, I think I got the timelines fuzzed up in Bishop's post then. Thanks for the clarification.

Will do!

Well you don't want to look like you know too much. You're having difficulty enough with that as it is. Think of it this way: now you'll have a wider variety of follow-up questions.

I cannot imagine how I might feasibly be able to work on the ceiling. I suppose the living room wall, however... if I created a functional ladder.

No one except your roomies are gonna care about an extra coat of paint.

Besides I'm pretty sure that most people only move out once they get ported out and at that point any landlord you've technically got will only be able to try and yell at the porter so you'll pretty much just get away with it

Right! So I'm figuring out.

Well, I've been considering other jobs and maybe changing residences to accommodate for that. So we'll have to see if I move before dePortation. It might be interesting to experience living in each city once!

☆✨✧ What? :D I don't know anything. I'm dumb and clueless--☆✨✧ And you owe me big time for this. You know how hard it is to turn off "inquiring minds want to know NOW" when your natural default setting is that...TURNED UP TO 11?? You get in here and ask questions--

No, don't. You'll scare everyone off.

Go big or go home, Herms. Do the whole place. Bathroom chalkboard, for when inspiration strikes while in the loo.

That is obnoxious, Newton.

And I don't owe you anything. You volunteered for this. We both know who was more likely to succeed and I must say I expected worse. People here are surprisingly forthcoming.

[Maybe because they're not militant.]

I hardly think the walls of the shower a suitable place to attempt to write equations.

Your face is obnoxious.

Geez. I thought you had faith in me.
I don't know what I expected. Part of me says "we're in the same boat" and part of me says I expected "every man for himself" information hoarding and secrecy. Speaking of which, when we get home, I know we won't remember this conversation, but we're going to have to decide what to do with our data now that OUR world is no longer of the mind of "we're in the same boat."

The shower isn't the only time you're in the bathroom, dude.

I imagine I'll be busy calculating probabilities for another Breach opening.. I imagine Marshal Hansen will take anything I say seriously, but beyond that.. Well, no one wants to think about it. If we're not taken seriously, then I'm not certain where we'll go from there.

And yes, I know. It was an example, Newton. One that's much less crude than the one you were making. In short, I'll be perfectly content not to have the bathroom painted, thank you.

Yeah. I have a feeling K-Science Division is going to turn into Breach-Science.

Suit yourself.

[ Kaneki will be sending a link to this ]

This might help.
