How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,

[He normally would try to lay low in a given world. Faust, too, has suggested he's should. Brining attention onto himself is a bad, bad, very bad idea.

But he can't help it. There's working internet. And he has the power of typing and bad ideas on his side.]

Hey new world! I'm Teo! Just got here. I'm from Earth, but from my last world, I learned that's pretty common, and every Earth seems to be different from the others. Who's from somewhere new and who here's from Earth? And for those from Earth, what's the thing that makes it different?

Alternate introduction question: What's everyone's favorite thing to do here?

That was kinda weird of me to brush over it, huh? ^^;; Sorry! It just wasn't directly relevant to your question.

But yes, it's true! Giant worms burst up out of the ground and started eating rocks and metal, and it seemed like they really had a taste for robots! To be honest, I'm not clear on what all that was about! But in the end they got turned to stone, and it's been pretty calm ever since.

[ghoulserrand]

It's okay.
It probably would be old news after living through it.
It just took me by surprise.

I'd say it's better they eat metal than people but I think the robots would beg to differ.
Are the defences around the city to keep the worms out?

[daikonrose]

No, that's a totally natural thing to be shocked by!

The barrier is keeping out all sorts of things, it seems like, but it's hard to give a comprehensive list of what all those things are. I guess there could be more worms out there? It would make sense. But even just the air is toxic, from what I understand.

[ghoulserrand]

[The air is toxic. That news chills him. If he'd been unable to get anything substantial from the replicators, he would've tried going over the walls, which might not have done anything to him... but it would've done something to Faust, who might've followed.]

So no one's been out there?
It's just a toxic monster wasteland?

Geez.
It really is just another apocalypse.

[daikonrose]

A few people have! But they had to wear special suits, and they couldn't be out there very long. The locals kinda don't like letting anyone out. I don't think they could help us if anything really bad happened.

I guess it is, huh? Sorry. You were so excited before.

[ghoulserrand]

That's understandable.
A special suit can only help so much.

Don't worry. I'm still excited.
This place still has everything I've missed.
People, electricity, internet.
Even a bed of my own.
Things are good here.
It just means being ready.

[daikonrose]

I guess if you've got that kind of spirit, you'll be fine here no matter what. But you can definitely ask for help if you run into something beyond undead adept level! Or even if it's just something like clothes or food.

[ghoulserrand]

I hope so.
Thank you.
It's really nice to get a welcome like this.

[daikonrose]

This much is only natural! We're stuck here together, so let's all get along!!
Or something like that. ~_^

[ghoulserrand]

I guess I've gotten used to apocalyptic paranoia.
A lot of jaded people in situations like that.
If there's anything I can offer in turn, please let me know.
:)

[daikonrose]

I wouldn't say nobody's jaded or paranoid at all here, but... well, I guess you'd be the best judge in comparing apocalypse attitudes.
We all have to rely on each other in one way or another, so don't worry about it!
