Hello. It's nice to meet all of you. I am the one they call Alibaba. Or I would be if I wasn't dragged from home to a place where I have no reputation.

I'll make this simple. I'm looking to make a deal--information is what I need. Specifically, I want to know more about this porting process.

I don't expect anyone to be able to tell me how it works, but anything you might know would be...helpful. I would be especially interested in speaking with anyone that was able to go home before being brought back.

You can answer freely or we can see if we can reach a deal that works for both of us. I'll be waiting.

Wow, this isn't shady.

[ This wasn't a Constellation goon, just going by what they were saying. Speaking of... ]

Wait.

Did you just get here???????

How the hell did you figure out how to go anon on the network that fast?????

[ Why was he over here answering all of Futaba's burning questions if she was just going to ask them again, anonymously, over the network? Really, please tell him. He could adjust the whiskers on his angsty fox drawings from anywhere, it doesn't have to be here. His tall v small advantage is only proving him right, peeking over her shoulder at the response isn't revealing anything useful. ]

That's Adachi. He won't tell you anything I haven't already.

It seems we are both curious about the same things. I look forward to reading the answers you receive despite your request being anonymous.

What will you do if no one accepts a "deal" with you, however?

I have been sent back and forth by the Porter 4 times. In total, I have been in this world for two years and nine months.

I can answer most questions without needing anything else in return, though I am curious to what you'd be able to offer.

I don't know much myself, but two people I know were ported home for about a day or so and came back with different powers.

Hi Futaba.

I haven't gotten any pertinent information, but I'm glad to see you're here too. Are you safe?

[fistofthejoestar]

It's quite the thrilling tale, isn't it? I was always quite fond of that one myself.

[he's referring, of course, to Futaba's alias and its classical roots. he's too big of a nerd to refrain from giving compliments where they're due.]

I'd be glad to help you however I can, although I don't know if any information of mine is particularly unique - when I was briefly ported out I wasn't returned home.

I was ported out and then came back about six months later, though a much longer time passed back home. What do you want to know?

Not having a reputation is a good thing. Do you want to go back to your world?

The Porters seem to mostly bring people here who are young, and people from a certain era. People like me who are older and who are from the relative 'past' are not very common.

Try asking for Charles Xavier; he has been here and gone back multiple times over the course of years and is very forthcoming with information, as well as being generally personable. I've only just arrived, myself, so I have very little advice other than that, unfortunately.

I'd love to, but... I only just got pulled in here myself, not too long ago.

The process appears to be random, if that helps.

enjoy the sample pack.

I can tell you at least that there's a distortion in time. I talked to someone who went home back at the exact moment they left, and came back here only to find that little time had passed in this world when they arrived back.

What I wanna know is how they get everything on those files about us. That's a little unsettling. Seeing a picture of myself was an actual shock, we don't even have cameras at home.

Dunno. I know you can't use a wish to get back.
