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 doubt Echo is really a "person." Not in the way anyone here would understand it.

[Maybe it could be reasoned with. But this level of optimism gives Amy a headache.]

there is a lot of us.

( and is there any guarantee all of them are who they say they are, hmm? hmmm. )

I'd be wary about taking too much of what we're being told by Aurora at face value.

Hi, Vash! Welcome. I suppose. It's not great to be here, but... well, we should help each other, right? My name is Rin.

No sight of Echo on my part so far. I'm not sure they're really one to be discussed with.

I can't say that I have, and none of us appear to be well-informed.

It sounds to me like Echo is some kind of extraplanar being or deity, to have the kind of power that they've been demonstrated to have, in bringing us all here. Whether that means they actually have the power to do what they say they're going to do, and destroy multiple universes that haven't proven themselves "worthy" by whatever standards Echo has presented... Well, I think that remains to be seen.

Oh, and I'm Adaine. Hi.

Sou Hiyori. It's a pleasure.

Are you certain that they can directly communicate with us? I have to wonder myself.

un: blake

[plangona]

no one has.

so far, aurora is the only one we've been able to communicate with.

I think we're all — echo included — operating on limited knowledge and some faith.

I think from the get go there was always the general implication that Echo isn't really a person as such
but that's just the feeling I got

proper nouns tend to give things more power than they'd hold otherwise anyway

why would I? she's just a fancy computer. probably just following whatever instructions she's been programmed with. she's not gonna say anything useful.

are you sure echo is even necessarily good at all??

[ Of course Fabian is operating under the usual Bad Kids standard: suspect every single adult you ever come across. ]

what if we are just being lied to

I feel the same. There must be a way to save all worlds... Though I admit I hadn't considered force of numbers in this approach.
