2: Alternate reality

[samuraiprosecutor]

Tonight, I had a disturbing conversation over at that strange community. Many of the members make claims of being from alternate worlds or realities. The possibilities, if true, would be staggering, and there is some basis in current scientific thinking that would allow for such theories. This conversation brought up a claim that puts a sinister spin on it all.

The repercussions of this, if it's somehow true...I can't begin to comprehend the why and how. I refuse to believe anyone in such a world would have any controlling influence on my life, but having my decisions and experiences subject to scrutiny, exploited for entertainment...

It's a decidely uncomfortable thought.

The worst part is that some part of me wants to know. There's some morbid curiousity that would be served by actively looking for this content, but I am absolutely certain I'd be horrified by the majority of it.

More and more I find myself giving credence to the possibility of these other worlds. I've been invited by maraihi to visit the zoo on one of them, so perhaps I'll have my answer soon. An answer that will merely lead to more questions, but it would be a start.

...zoo?

[samuraiprosecutor]

Yes. Zoo. They generally have animals in cages or enclosures. Sound familiar?

[attorneyatlol]

I... I know what a zoo is.

[samuraiprosecutor]

Good.

[attorneyatlol]

...why are you going?

and

compromising pictures?

Um. You probably don't want to look at DeviantArt.

[samuraiprosecutor]

I'm afraid to ask, but what is DeviantArt?

[re-formed.livejournal.com]

It's a site where people post artwork. From what I've heard...a lot of people on the comm have pictures up there, and most of them aren't accurate or flattering.

[samuraiprosecutor]

Given what I've already seen, I'm sure I don't want to venture there. Do you also have 'fans' on some other world?

[re-formed.livejournal.com]

It seems so. From the little I've seen they're thankfully subdued.

[drcuddles.livejournal.com]

This place does have that affect you.

[samuraiprosecutor]

The effect of driving one slowly insane?

[drcuddles.livejournal.com]

That's the one!

[samuraiprosecutor]

Wonderful. I thought it was just me.

[wannabesanta.livejournal.com]

Well, where else would we be from if we wheren't from different worlds, eh? Or prehaps you're not use to being called "fictional" like I am. Oo

I'm glad no one's put me in a skirt >.>.. but why can't I have the fangirls? D: [[hackable if you want]]

[samuraiprosecutor]

I am not fictional.

[wannabesanta.livejournal.com]

I didn't say you are. Just said you where never called it before is all.

[samuraiprosecutor]

Generally, real people aren't called 'fictional', so no, I haven't.

[samuraiprosecutor]

Some people's motives are unfathomable, Jeeves. And the clothes seemed designed for the maximum level of humiliation and bad taste. If they are 'fans', they should at least realize my sense of fashion is better than that.

I hope your experience is pleasant, at least. There does seem to be some good to be found here. Perhaps we can compare notes when our respective visits are concluded.

Indeed it is, Jeeves.

[samuraiprosecutor]

I think I would be disappointed in myself if I could understand their motives.

Hm... With both you and the good doctor in attendance, the invitation is tempting. I am still catching up on my workload, though. I think I shall have to decline, but thank you.
