Ah, hello everyone! I'm Vash, one of the new arrivals. It's nice to meet everyone :)

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but has anyone actually met Echo or gotten a chance to speak with them? Because I was thinking, there's so many of us from so many different places, and between all of us I'm sure there's a solution Echo hasn't found where nobody needs to lose a universe, right? Echo's just one person, after all--there must be some angles to this situation they haven't even considered yet, and if enough of us approached them at once, maybe they'd hear us out.

Thanks for your time!!

I completely agree! It's nice to meet you, Rin. Thank you for the welcome :)

How long have you been here? It seems surprising that the one who brought us here hasn't shown themselves, yet.

[Like, if it was a kidnapping, wouldn't the person have shown up to observe their captives by now? There's no guards or anything, either.]

[revengeisalie]

It's no trouble!

I've been here for over a month now, since what I guess was the beginning of... whatever you want to call this. Echo is very hands-off, and Aurora is really the only representative we can talk to. It's all very confusing and mysterious.

[ And highly suspicious, but Rin wonders how much she should say on this strange "network". ]

[rootlessly]

That sounds...strange. And we've all been left to our own devices since?

[revengeisalie]

Oh no, we also get dubious "missions" where we are supposed to get to know each other, to which end some really weird methods are employed!!

[rootlessly]

[Yikes.]

Haha, oh no. How worried should a newcomer be about the weirdness?

[revengeisalie]

I'd be pretty worried. Once, there were duplicates of people running around. Considerably meaner duplicates.

[rootlessly]

Duplicates??? How....

[Oh, that's terrifying. He hates that a lot.]

[revengeisalie]

Don't ask me how anything here works, because I guarantee you I do not know.

[rootlessly]

They really don't want to tell us much of anything, do they.

[revengeisalie]

Not in the least.

[rootlessly]

It sounds frustrating.

[revengeisalie]

It is. Very much. As I'm sure you'll find out in time.

[rootlessly]

Haha well, it's like you said, we should help each other out, right? As long as we do, maybe it won't be so bad.

[revengeisalie]

I'd like to think so, too. Or rather, I think helping each other is the only way we can hope to do this.

[ At least Rin doesn't have the highest hopes of surviving on her own for very long. ]

[rootlessly]

If we all work together, maybe we can even find a way to save all of our worlds, eventually.

[revengeisalie]

You think that's possible?

[ Rin would like to think so, but she doesn't have a clue how to go about it. If someone else is hopeful, that would help her feel more confident. ]

[rootlessly]

I'd like to believe it is. There's so many of us, together we're bound to think of something that Echo hasn't, right?

[revengeisalie]

You're right. Especially since I think there are people who have the appropriate knowledge here.

[rootlessly]

I've seen a couple people talk about different universes, at least. It's definitely possible we could pool resources with them as we learn more about the situation here.
