Round 2 [open]

characters: Cao Pi and everyone who wants to show up
location: town hall
date/time: Dec. 8, starting at moonrise
content: Community meeting, take 2! After the Dreamer/Defender incident, there's a lot to talk about and Cao Pi has encouraged everyone to come and publicly share what they learned while asleep or what ideas they have to make the next massacre less massacre-y. Feel free to handwave catching his post or hearing about it from a friend.
warnings: none likely but lmk if that changes. Threadjacking likely; if you don't want to be threadjacked, make some sort of indication.

As before, Cao Pi arrives ahead of time to ensure the town hall is ready for a session, righting any chairs that might have been thrown about in recent melees and checking the logbook for recent information. When a fair amount of people have arrived and he can see the waxing moon rising through the leafless trees outside, he rises to begin with a short intro.

"By now we know that those who succumbed to the food at the feast had a strange experience - they shared dreams with each other, in which they found themselves seeing Beacon as it was in the past. I encourage all those who dreamed, and remember it well, please tell us all what you saw. There may be considerable clues to our purpose and progress in even the smallest detail.

"The rest of us, well. We managed to make it through and I believe those who were killed are whole again, but for our part we can go over what worked and what didn't. Defending ourselves isn't merely a matter of being trained to use weapons. The spirits which attacked were formidable, powerful. We will need more than just our strength to outlast another attack. Ideas are welcome, as is any new information we have on everything from communications to threats."

That's all he'll ramble about this time, he'll take a seat and allow others to have the floor before he makes any more grandiose speeches.

Really? This is the first I've heard of that.

[He'd been about to question Dr. Lutece on how she could know that, but immediately the General adds that information and man, is that a lot to consider. Lutece had told him about alternate realities briefly once, but somehow he hadn't thought that would mean there could be more than one of himself.]

So... then this portal pulls not only from other worlds, but from mirrors of them, if I'm understanding it right.
originallutece: when you've already got freckles but what the hell (robert; the umbrella's useless)

Hm. More that it simply pulls from any universe it may encounter. You're thinking of it as though one version is the real version, and the others mirrors, but each is as valid as the last.

If--

[Hm, no.]

If another version of you was brought here-- well. I'd be fascinated to see if either of you would effect the other, but that's neither here nor there. Neither him nor you would be more the original than the other.

Chances are no.

[ seriously, how does he know this ]

Should've just stuck with the infinite universe theorem.
originallutece: lowkey so you keep talking and digging yourself in (talk; unimpressed but like)

[personal profile] originallutece 2019-12-10 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
I beg your pardon. Chances are no what?
mind_blown: (With a blindfold on.)

[personal profile] mind_blown 2019-12-10 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
That other versions would affect each other.
originallutece: no, please, touch the boiling beaker, it'll be fine (talk; doing science work)

[personal profile] originallutece 2019-12-10 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Good, and some of her hackles settle.]

Possibly. Possibly not. Perhaps this world is the original for some version of him, come a hundred resets ago, in which case it very much will affect them.
callada: (this is definitely going in my writeup)

[personal profile] callada 2019-12-10 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[His eyes follow them back and forth, and he shrugs. Another version of himself? He's not sure if he'd want to meet himself or not, honestly. He knows himself well. Doesn't much like the guy.]

Well if somehow I find myself in that particular situation, I'll let you know so we can be your guinea pigs.
