Given what you've experienced in this world, would you return to your own if given the choice?

Yes. I had a life I liked and a job I enjoyed. No offense to the people here, but I'll go back first chance I get.

[d33tached]

Don't mistake my musings as some indication that you will be given a choice in the matter.

Clearly, that isn't the case. I was simply curious to know what people's opinions might be on the matter.

[aloadeddie]

How do we know no one has a choice if people go back home and never return?

[d33tached]

If ImPorts truly had a choice in the matter, then, as many of the responses to this post will tell you, a great many of them would have made the choice to return already.

Don't be foolish. That simply is not the case.

[aloadeddie]

I'm not at all being foolish. I'm suggesting the possibility that certain ImPorts have been given the choice and we simply aren't aware of it.

However, I didn't mean to suggest I think I will be given a choice. I simply said that I'll take the first chance I get to get out of here. You can interpret that however you like.

[d33tached]

I highly doubt that.

[As if the Porter would bring people into this world unwillingly just to turn around and allow them to go home upon request. D33 isn't buying it.]

[aloadeddie]

I "doubt it" too, but that doesn't make it impossible, and it would be foolish to completely dismiss any possibility.

[d33tached]

Not nearly as foolish as considering that the Porter or Lachesis has any concern for the desires of ImPorts.

[Someone's bitter (though he honestly doesn't have much reason to be - he's one of those that wouldn't choose to go home if given the choice).]

[aloadeddie]

Suggesting that Lachesis might offer deals to certain ImPorts to return home isn't at all the same as suggesting that she cares about any of us. Again, you can interpret what I say however you want but that's not actually what I'm saying.

[d33tached]

Well, Arthur, if you become aware of such a deal, do be sure to let the rest of us know how to bring about the same.

[Bad mood much?]

[aloadeddie]

You can snip at me all you want, it's not my fault you haven't thought of it before.

[d33tached]

Don't imply that I envy whatever wit you think you might possess.

The idea is idiotic.

[aloadeddie]

Of course, I apologize, I forgot you have special insight and wisdom into the motivations of our kidnapper.

[d33tached]

It's purely common sense at this point.

[Because that totally exists here.]

[aloadeddie]

That only works if anything about this place makes sense to begin with.

[d33tached]

[That's a...fair point, though D33 is loathe to admit so.]

I suppose you have a point there.
