Hello everyone. I'm Ken Kaneki, and through the years I've been compiling information on everything that has been happening. My notes are available, and I've also written/updated/adapted a FAQ which you can read. If there are any questions, let me know.

On a different note, I was reading through Porter patterns and I'm curious about imPort and exPort activity. If you feel comfortable, please feel free to answer the following questions:

1. How long have you been here?
2. Have you ever been Ported-out and returned still with your memories? How many times?
3. Have you ever been Ported-out and returned without any of your memories? Do you know how many times?
4. Do you suspect a certain event could have triggered your porting-out?
5. When Ported-out, did you return to your world?
6. In your world, did you remember being in this one?
7. After being Ported out, have your powers changed?


As for myself, I have been in this world for a total of 3 years and 7 months - I arrived here in 2nd September of 2014. I have been Ported-out 4 times in total and I never forgot my memories of being here when I returned, even when I was amnesiac. My Port-outs seem to happen every 6 to 9 months, and usually they happen when some sort of stress is involved. Every time I was returned to my world I remained there for a while before I was returned here; the time I spent in my world is random at best since the least I've spent there was a week, and the most I stood there was 4 years. My powers have changed every time, but only to match the abilities I had in my world.

2. yes, once
3. not that anyone's told me
4. really don't think so
5. yeah, though i was only there a few hours ( 3 days on this side)
6. nope. not a thing.
7. yeah

[ghoulking]

Few hours only? Can I ask if something very important happened during that time?

[flightforfreedom]

not that hadn't already been happening

we were prepping evacuation, but that was the same from the time i left the first time

i fixed a jacket?

[ghoulking]

[ UH. That's... what was even the point? He knows there are some people who don't go home and just stay gone for a bit (or rather, are sent to a future date, that's how kaneki sees it), but why send someone home for a few hours?) ]

Was it an important jacket?

[flightforfreedom]

i mean

it was finn's jacket

but he was still in a coma when i left again

[ghoulking]

Did the jacket come with you?

[flightforfreedom]

nope

look i get trying to make sense of it but

i really think the porter is just random
if there is a pattern to it, it's not one that's going to make any sense to us

[ghoulking]

It doesn't hurt to try. We can at least try to see what pattern happens more often.

Though, being only in your world for a couple of hours is new to me.

[flightforfreedom]

the thing that really tripped me up was that even only gone a few hours, three days passed here

hey i'm not saying to not try

but i feel like every time we try to do something about the porter or figure it out, it just changes shit for the sake of it

[ghoulking]

Lachesis can easily send us back and forth in timelines, so it doesn't surprise me, though I can see why it feels - aha- "trippy".

Yes, I do feel the same. Or that there is always someone different that will just break most "rules" we made about how things go. [ like you Poe!!! ]
