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

[Yeah NOW you wanna talk D33 HE SEES HOW IT IS]

Yeah, I guess that's what they call it. Um, it was... maybe a week at home? Something like that. And now I'm here, but it was just Halloween... So I guess it was just for a day.

I don't get it. What's even the point?

[d33tached]

Should I or any ImPort know the answer to that question, Blue, I suspect that this world would quickly become a much different place.

[halloflamer]

Whaddaya mean by that?

...Like, you think people would riot?

[d33tached]

What I am saying is that if any one of us had the necessary information to answer that question, it would likely be the same information necessary to bring about a solution to it.

From what I can tell, either outcome is highly unlikely.

We are simply not meant to know such things.

[halloflamer]

...It sucks.

[Said as sulkily as possible.] It really, really sucks. But I don't wanna have anythin' to do with it anyway.

Hey, did you know that you won't remember anything that happens here? When you go home.

[He sounds awfully morose.]

[d33tached]

Yes, I did.

[D33 asks a lot of questions.]

I take it that this information has only recently come to light for you.

[halloflamer]

Yeah...

[Blue grumbles. Of course.]

You got stuff you don’t wanna forget too, I guess? That why you don’t wanna go home?

[d33tached]

[That's a pretty fair assessment, actually, but D33 would never admit so.]

I've nothing to return to.

[Only a nigh inevitable death, he thinks.]

There would be little point in doing so.

[halloflamer]

[Blue frowns. He's not sure how to interpret that, but he's also not sure he wants to.]

[So]

Maybe there's some way to ask to stay... But everyone seems to think it just works however it wants. I mean, Porting people in and out.

[d33tached]

Given the information that we as ImPorts have, that does seem the only logical conclusion, I'm afraid.

[halloflamer]

...What's the point in asking, then?

[d33tached]

If you are referring to the question that I poised in my post, I was simply curious to know what the thoughts of other ImPorts might be on the matter.

The responses have been quite interesting, as I suspected.

[halloflamer]

Thinking about something you can't even do anything about sounds like a waste'a time to me.

Whatever.

[d33tached]

As it so happens, I have a bit of time to waste at the moment.

As I've said, I was simply curious to know.
