Genesis is gone now too.

[ he pauses, then adds the same message in text format for those who can't see him for lack of belief. ]

The Winds can't find her at all.

[ which might explain any sudden breezes that Pepper, Jack, Elissa, and Christine may have been wrapped with momentarily shortly before his announcement. just checking in on his friends and important people. ]

So many of the friends I've made are disappearing. I'm sad they're not still here, even if it's selfish.


[ he ends the video feed and switches entirely to text. ]

I think I would like more things to fill my time with.
All I've been doing lately is training and training
But it gets tiring after a while.
Are there any good books or movies here people can recommend?
Or small mechanical items that need fixing?
Or anyone that would like a drawing of something?

The part of them that counts the most is back at home.

[ he has to believe that, otherwise he doesn't think he could handle his friends leaving at all. ]

What evidence do you have of that? What proof?

[akito]

Apparently our bodies are in some kind of stasis while in those pods??
But I was at home until I woke up here
Which makes no sense if my body had been in there for a long time right??
So there is no proof
But it would make sense if it was the mind that was freed while the body remained trapped.
Kind of like astral projection?

[genoshas_general]

Mental projection to another universe would require massive amounts of power. Not to mention the amount of equipment needed for anyone who wasn't naturally psychic. And I can't imagine much of a benefit from the perspective of the people who designed the ship.

It's more likely it's some kind of simulated reality to keep the people in stasis from causing trouble.

[akito]

Nothing in this entire situation is something that could be considered likely.
If anything is a simulated reality it would be this place.

[genoshas_general]

Is that what you think, or just what you wish?

[akito]

I don't know what I think.
It's a possibility though.

It's not what I wish.

[ because that would mean the friends he made aren't really real, in a sense. ]

[genoshas_general]

[There's no response from Wanda for a little while. After her initial impulse to be miss reality-check fades, she just feels tired. It's been months since she got here. And people have disappeared to the pods. People who are important to her.]

What I think is that there's every possibility we'll see everyone in the pods again. Wherever their minds might be while they sleep.

[akito]

I don't know if I will ever see the friends I made from other worlds again.
I'll see the ones from my world again though
Definitely.
