Does anyone else kind of want to stay here instead of go home? If there was a way to make it safe to live here, would anyone else stay?

[[Well that's a good question. She thinks a bit about it before typing up her response.]]

um maybe...
at home yuka was dead.
i don't really want to be dead anymore.
but my brother isn't here...
why do you want to stay?

[animusnpcs]

There's not a lot waiting for me at home. I guess if everybody else wants to wreck this place getting out I'm not going to stop them, but that's not really fair if a lot of us want to stay.

How about we turn it into a giant theme park?

[Neal, sarcasm doesn't work well in text.]

We can have rides, and mascot characters in those big suits!

Are you joking around?

[halfpintsorceress]

Heck no, I like actually physically existing.

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

I guess that's fair, but some people are dead or going to die right away when they get back, aren't they?

[anontext]

[bloodyashes]

Define going home. I don't think anyone wants to go back to ruins.

If it came to the choice of going back to our worlds restored and staying...

I would stay. There are people here who think I'm worth more than a tool.

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

Well, a lot of people want to rebuild their worlds, don't they? Even if my world was fixed there wouldn't be anything for me, though, so I'd like it better if I could stay here.

... I would... like to go home, but all that would await me is parting with my closest friend forever. ... I am not sure I would not want to stay here. But this place is so unnatural. It will never not be.

You don't think there's a way to fix it?

i want to go outside1 i cant stay in doors frever

[animusnpcs]

There's an outside of the tower, isn't there? Maybe everyone could go there.

text

[morituramfides]

Is it philosophy time again?

Even if our worlds are out there, I've got nothing to go back to. I'd be here either way.

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

I know people want to get rid of the admins, and I do too, but I don't want everyone to wreck the entire place when I don't have anywhere else to go. I just wanted to know if anyone else felt like that, because maybe then we could try and make this place safe instead of just ruining it.

[puppy_lancer]

get rid of most of the administrators, and yeah
i'd wanna stay

...Only if the worlds outside could be restored and I could have my friends here with me.

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

Do you think there's really a way to fix everything? I want there to be, but I've never been downstairs like some people here have. It would be nice if we could fix things and stay here, too.

[She has too many friends in the Tower she doesn't feel ready to explain this to yet to do it un-anoned]

Maybe.

Back home something's going to happen. Something really bad. And I don't want it to, but I'm not sure I could change it. Lately I've been wondering if I should try anyway, but what I do could really hurt the people I care about most, and I could never let that happen. Ever.

But things can't stay the way they are now. I don't think the admins understand that they're hurting us. Even if we can't die. Even if these aren't our real bodies. The stuff they do hurts us and feels real. That's why so many people want to leave even if they'd want to stay otherwise.

And if they do understand that, then they need to be stopped even more.

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

I know we have to get rid of the admins, but I'm kind of worried that the people who are most interested in doing it seem like they'd destroy this entire place to do it. I mean, I know why they'd do that! Maybe it's selfish of me, but I want somewhere to live, too, and at home there isn't anything even if it gets fixed.

No way in hell.

I guess that's fair. I want to, though.

The Shepherds need their tactician.

I, for one, intend to return home.

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

I can't blame you, if you have something important to do at home.

[ text ]

[immortalia]

No, I still have work to do back home.

anonymous

[animusnpcs]

It seems like that's why a lot of people need to go back. That makes sense, I think.

[risingshepard]

[This is a question that sounds undeniably stupid to Shepard.

So the answer, to her, is as obvious as it gets.]

No, and no.

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

Okay, that's fair. I'd rather stay, though.

[irreverence]

On the one hand, it beats being dead.

On the other hand, I'm not really digging the 'collar-and-experiments' imposition.

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

Yeah, I don't like that either. I think I just mean that if we could get rid of all that, maybe we could make this place livable? Not if everyone trying to go home destroys it all, though.

[Text]

[doc_brown]

Great Scott, why would anyone desire to stay in this tower?

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

Not the way it is now! But some people are dead at home, or nearly dead, or a lot of other terrible things. Can you be mad at them for wanting to be somewhere where they can avoid that?

text

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

One of the anonymous responses says it well. It depends on how you define returning home.

I want to go home to my people, my family and friends, the the sounds of the forest and of life. I want to go to the land that is promised to my kin. Now especially.

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

If you have things to go back to, I understand why you'd want to fix everything at all costs. But if this tower is the only place where you're not dead or dying or maybe worse things, then it's different, I think.

[Anon Text; Though we know Jason totally knows who this is.]

[no_longer_a_king]

This is the reason I wish to keep the Administrators from using us.

Every day I wonder if I should stay here or not, and take into account those who wish to stay here. Even should my world be fixed my fate back home is not one I would wish on others. [And she spends every day in fear of returning to that, even if she knows it's either that or wandering her dead world as a spirit.]

If we were treated like human beings rather than something no better than toys or insects or if we were being told what the progress is on the research into restoring our worlds, there would be less objections to staying here. As it stands right now, it feels as if several of the Administrators live in fear of one another and withhold knowledge that could be useful to all sides. How can they expect to lead if they do not even trust one another?

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

I don't know a lot about them except what they say here. Maybe they can't help it for some reason or maybe they just like being mean, but I think we should get rid of them. I just don't want this place to be destroyed doing that. I guess that's kind of selfish.

[Text]

[evokingfool]

No. There are things I must face back home.

[Even if he dies at the end of his journey.]

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

I understand. Some things are really important. But I still want to stay...

[averytinyparticle]

I can't stay! Not when my Grandpa isn't here with me!

Even if it means going back to that scary Nonary Game I was playing...if that's where my Grandpa is, then that's where I want to go.

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

Then you should go home whenever everyone figures out how. I don't think everyone should have to, though.

text;

[megazero_to_superhero]

Not me.

I heard somebody was looking into fixing this whole dimension-killing crap. Whatever it is. If it can be stopped, or better yet reversed, I owe it to the people of Primal Earth and all the countless dimensions out there to help with that.

I'd never be able to forgive myself otherwise. I didn't become a superhero just to save my own butt.

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

Do you think it's selfish if people want to stay here?

[falseidentity]

[She'll thank Link later for the basics. She's... Figuring out the rest.]

But are our homes not destroyed? Is this not some punishment for our sins?

[...Yeah new resident doesn't get this.]

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

I don't know if it's a punishment or not. People want to fix our worlds, but some of us don't have places to go back to even if they're fixed.

[anon]

[brbtalkingtogod]

Why yes, let's all stay here as Ruana's fodder and Jason's guinea pigs. Abandon our worlds and leave everything as it is, destroyed, and enjoy the illusions of the glamour.

Oh please.

I'm aware some have it better in this place than in their homes, but in the end it's just another hell. We are being told half-truths since the beginning.

Tell me anon. What do YOU think would make this a safer and better place to live?

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

I don't know 100%, but do the people who are trying to destroy everything know 100% what to do to fix everything? I want to get rid of the admins and I want this place to still be in one piece so maybe we can fix it.

text

[warriorscribe]

I know there are people who would be better off here. I'm arguably one, myself; if I return to the world I had been before, I will be thrown to another world at random, and I don't know if I'll ever see my home world again. But I know there are those who have even worse fates in store, and I'm hoping that this place can be stabilized, somehow, for them, but not if it means leaving hundreds of worlds of people dead.

I want to try to make everything all right. I don't want to destroy this tower because even IF all of us leave, there are still people here, people who, while others may not think so, deserve to live as well.

anonymous text

[animusnpcs]

I just want somewhere to stay, and this place is better than home. But now things seem even worse than they were before the power cores broke, so it's a little frightening.

text

[gottabebrave]

No way! I'm leaving the first chance I get.

Geez, how bad is it where you're from that you'd want to stay here?

anonymous text

[attheclocktower]

Some people are dead back home. Or know they will die soon, or there's something worse, like hurting your friends by existing.
