[ Perhaps in a sudden melancholy brought on by the disappearance of so many in recent weeks, and of the aging shift that took place, Vanyel has had a particular question on his mind...]

I know this might seem to be coming out of nowhere and perhaps a bit dark, but, please indulge me if you will.

I have heard the stories and the theories and assertions that when we are sent home, if we are sent home, we are returned to the time and place at which we were originally taken, as if our worlds had stopped in our absence. How many of you believe this is true? Can something truly be so powerful? And do you fear what has happened in your absence, if it is not?

[peacockherald]

Heh, you would think the opposite would be true.

[waterproofed]

Nope. We've got monsters hunting us all the time, and we sometimes go on dangerous quests. It gets rough.

[peacockherald]

Oh, yes, I can see how that might lower the life expectancy. Heralds are not much different, except we often go hunting the monsters.

[waterproofed]

Yeah? Do the monsters stay dead?

[peacockherald]

Generally, yes. Admittedly, wyrsa are... legion, but they are from another realm so there is nothing to do for it but confront them when they are summoned.

[waterproofed]

Then you're better off than me. Our monsters keep coming back.

[peacockherald]

That does not sound pleasant in the least. Who would want to hunt you anyways? You don't seem the sort to cause any sort of trouble.

[waterproofed]

I cause plenty of trouble. Plus, apparently we have a smell that attracts monsters. So we can't catch a break.

[peacockherald]

Oh. I wonder... does it effect you much here in Paradisa? This scent?

[waterproofed]

Well... sort of. [except it's aliens and not monsters, sob] I'll probably still attract monsters if they show up here.
