So... I was wondering.

If we suddenly solved everything and were given a choice to stay here or go home, what would you choose? I've been thinking about it a lot-- [She really has, especially since finding out that they're working on finding a way for imPorts to stay or go at will. She misses Ooo, but she has more friends here than she did there, and she's happy with her life here. ... Mostly happy, anyway.] But I haven't really decided yet.

Or what about other places? Not, like, other places here. But places people you know or like here are from. Is there any place somebody's from that you'd want to visit? [That question is really just curiosity on her part. Finding out about new places is interesting!]

What makes you think you'd be allowed to stay, if it were a choice?

[wayhot]

I asked when I went to see the Porter. Apparently people are working on ways to stay or go home when we want, but nothing's really for sure yet. [She shrugs.]

And if we weren't allowed to stay, then wouldn't they just poof us all back home?

[That's.... a hard question. He considers it for a few seconds.]

I wouldn't wanna go home. probably can't, anyway. [A shrug.] And I don't mind it here.

Other places might be alright, but it'd be kinda hard to get settled without any sort've ID or papers or whatever from that world.

[wayhot]

I guess, but I don't know. It'd be pretty math to see where my friends are from, or to have them see where I'm from. [She shrugs a little.]

But it'd be nice to just stay here, too.

[Whooa mystery shadow face here on the video feed.]

It's hard to say. I've not much attachment to my own world, so other options are tempting to pursue.

[If he wants to establish some kind of personal heaven, he knows now he isn't limited to his own world, so options are always good.]

video;

[wayhot]

Yeah. I miss my world, but visiting other places would be pretty math, too. [The more she thinks about it, the more she wishes she had asked if visiting other worlds would ever be a possibility. Ah well. Still fun to think about.]

[ This comes at much later time in the night. Sasha appears to be in a cabin where movement all about her indicates the girls are getting ready for bed. She's wearing this and sitting at the bottom of one of the bunk beds.

FP's question is actually disconcerting. One, because she's asking it and it must imply something and two, because Sasha has to think about her own answer. ]

I don't know... it's not so bad here at all, but it's very different from my homeland and... I miss my village.

video

[wayhot]

I think I understand. This place is really different from Ooo, too. [Hmm.] If it's okay to ask, what's your village like?

permavid

[demonspawn]

Ooo still sounds ridiculous. I might have to see it to believe it, FP.

[wayhot]

[She lets out a small laugh. ] Ooo's not ridiculous! It's math!

But I think you might fit in there.

[Video]

[bullysandwicher]

No way. If I could, I'd go back to my world right now.

[Video]

[wayhot]

I get that. There are probably a lot of people who feel the same way. [She's pretty sure she'd want to stay if she had the chance, but... well, she also misses Ooo a lot, too.]

[caladrius]

I have a lot of work to do back home, a lot of people counting on me, and things that I want to see and accomplish with my own hands, so I cannot just visit a new world whenever I feel like it.

[And it saddens him, to be honest. He now knows that there's so much more out there, and he just wants to reach out and see as much as he can, but he really cant, knowing what he has to do.]

But... given the chance? I would visit Earth. An Earth. [One without the Porter and a bunch of superpowered beings from other worlds, to be precise.] I want to experience the entire world for myself. Travel and such.

video;

[wayhot]

Yeah... that would probably be nice. Being able to travel around without always having to worry about hero stuff or work or whatever.

[hadtoperishtwice]

In all honesty?

[It takes Sam a moment, but he shakes his head.] I think I'd rather stay here.

[wayhot]

Yeah. The more I've been thinking about it, the more I think I'd want to stay here.

video;

[larker]

I'd go home, without a second glance back. No offense to the lot of you, but home is home.

video;

[wayhot]

It's okay. I think understand wanting to go back. I'm pretty sure I'd want to stay if I had the choice, but... I do miss Ooo a lot. And it's still my home. [Sigh.] I don't know.

voice;

[crab]

There really isn't any going back, as I've been trying to drill through the dry, dense crust of wilful ignorance the community at large has chosen to encase their cranial hulls in, but in this hypothetical scenario where we aren't doomed forever, I guess I'd stay. At least here I'm not being cosmically pitted against multiple, and I stress multiple, invincible demons.

permavid

[wayhot]

[Huh.] Yeah, I can see why staying here would be a lot better, then.

But they are working on a way to let us go home or stay here. I asked about it when I went to see the Porter. [So excuse u, Negative Nancy Karkat.]

[video]

[freetobe]

[ It's a question he pondered ever since Balthazar told him what happens at home. And the answer isn't an easy one. ]

I'd stay. There are worse things to return home to than simple death. What hinders your decision?

[ Because as long as he is here, he might not become ruthless enough to stab close friends in the back. ]

[video]

[wayhot]

There's nothing super bad about Ooo that keeps me from wanting to go back, but I don't know. Since I've been here I've made friends, and nobody's tricked me into burning down a city or a kingdom. So I like that. [Uh.] I'm not really sure. I guess I'm just happier here.

voice;

[sassguard]

I've got a big fight waiting for me at home. So yeah, I'd go back.

permavid

[wayhot]

Yeah, getting back would be pretty important, in that case. [Depending on the fight, anyway.]

What kind of fight is it? A big thing, or just fisticuffs or whatever?

VOICE/PRIVATE.

[enabeled]

[ Private only for personal reasons, he's avoiding -- well trying to -- being noticed. ]

Some perks to this place, you have to admit. Tends to be better the fewer people around you recognize.

permavid

[wayhot]

I guess so, but that probably depends on whoever the person recognizing you is. [Finn was here briefly, and it was awkward, but they decided to stay friends and it was good... and now he's gone again. But it wasn't so bad. If her dad showed up, that would have been a heck of a lot worse.]

[symbionic]

What's wrong with home?

[wayhot]

Nothing, really. It's not terrible, and I miss it a lot of the time... but I have a lot of friends here. And I haven't burned anything down or hurt anybody without meaning to.
