(This post is made purely for the sake of curiosity. And to distract herself and others from feeling ill.)

How many worlds do you think exist? Infinite? What about galaxies?

(Her Peko-Peko makes a soft sound, wings fluttering as she lands by Padmé for a treat.)

I accepted that other galaxies existed before I came to Avalon. I never considered a number, however, or how different they might be from the one I knew.

My home world is called Naboo. I've heard a little about Earth, but are there other planets that you call home?

[Magical flu be damned... Keith was stuck trying to recover and bored. So, here he was on the network for once.]

I think this place goes beyond just different planets being 'worlds'. More like different universes or realities.

(Hello there, new face. Padmé is always happy to talk to anyone willing.)

I had wondered about that. Time is very fluid. There is someone from my... From the future of my galaxy.

(Oops small slip there.)

Anything is possible.

[tempredmental]

I have the same situation... except I've been the one from furthest into the future.

[Keith nodded.] Different times, different realities... it's a lot to consider.

Infinite. Practically, if not literally. That includes parallel dimensions and alternate universes.

I'm not sure how to feel about any of it. I believe we can find common cause and do something good for this world. But I admit I feel overwhelmed.

[song_princess]

I would not know... Before coming here, I only know of Tellius.

[politicallyinclined]

What is Tellius like?

It's amazing to think about, isn't it? There are so many worlds out there -- with things that we haven't even dreamt about seeing before.

I'm from earth, too -- my home is in a place called Japan. May I ask what Naboo is like?

video

[politicallyinclined]

Of course. You can ask me anything you like. (What a sweet girl. Padmé can't help smiling.) If you tell me about Japan I will consider it a fair trade.

(But she doesn't wait for assent.)

Naboo has mountains, lakes and meadows. It even has a swamp. To me, there is no planet more beautiful, though Avalon is a bit like it.

[asaviorshand]

It's hard to grasp, but I really do think there are an infinite number of worlds out there. It's the only conclusion I can come to after learning that there are multiple versions of history of my own world after arriving here. Though...I'm afraid I don't know what a galaxy is.

Prior to coming here, I only knew Fódlan. But it isn't the entire world -- merely a single continent. Other lands exist, but the people of Fódlan know little about them. We've always concerned ourselves more with internal affairs rather than exploration and trade from outside.

[There's a hint of regret in his voice. Not that he's responsible for the state of affairs, but that he considers his homeland's insularity to be a missed opportunity.]

A galaxy is thousands or millions or billions of stars drawn together by a gravitational pull. The galaxy that I call home is composed of four hundred billion stars. Within those stars, there are planets that are habitable and each one has races or species that are particular to it.

(As for what he said...) I agree with your conclusion.

(She can perceive that regret and she understands it to a certain degree.)

I wanted to venture out further; there are so many planets and stars I will never see.

My home is wherever my fiancee is. The world I originally come from can fuck off.

I know what you mean. Love makes it possible to live almost anywhere.

Well..

[ Minako pauses, unsure whether she should talk about this or not. It still feels weird to do it too openly, which is why she kind of waffles, before deciding to go for a more indirect route. Then she can still decide for herself whether to talk about it or not along the way. ]

You say you've heard about Earth, but.. what about the other planets around it? Or the solar system it's in?

video;

[politicallyinclined]

I have not heard of them or Earth's solar system. (She is intrigued and it shows.) I take it these planets orbit a large star?

video; un: no

[pridefulness]

I hadn't really thought about it before I got here, but I guess anything's possible. I'm from Earth, but I'm not sure if it's like the one you know.

[ Everything here is weird, he wouldn't be surprised if there were as many Earths as there were other worlds at this point. ]

What's Naboo like?

video

[politicallyinclined]

Then tell me about it. (She wouldn't be shocked at this point. If multiple dimensions exist, each dimensions needs its own version of Earth and maybe Naboo too.)

Beautiful. There are mountains, lakes, meadows and even swamps. Milla... (She shows her Peko-Peko who is sitting peacefully beside her.) is from there.

I'm from Earth. It seems that there are multiple versions of Earth, with different countries in some of them.

[politicallyinclined]

Which country do you call home?

[Oh, what an interesting subject! And one she has personal experience dealing with, no less! But first things first: Mash gives a little nod of greeting.]

Like many of the others who have replied, I am from Earth, though it is most likely a different one from theirs. [And that’s probably for the best given the state of humanity in her world ahaha :’)]

As far as galaxies… other planets and galaxies are known and studied on my Earth but things like traveling to or living on them haven’t been accomplished. Is it the same on Naboo?

Video

[politicallyinclined]

That seems likely, though difficult to tell unless events vary wildly.

(Exactly. That. Mash has all of her sympathy where that is concerned.)

I have traveled to many planets. The galaxy that Naboo inhabits is incredibly large, so I have never left it. I have often thought about what might lay beyond our stars and planets.

[doctorintern]

I'm another person who comes from a version of Earth, but it's different than other Earths out there.

And honestly, it's hard to say just how many worlds and universes there might be! I once heard about a theory regarding multiple universes that says "if you can imagine it, it exists in another realty", or something to that effect. But it's near impossible to really test that.

Video

[politicallyinclined]

I would love to hear about it.

(They should probably just settle on "infinity" at this point.)

Do you think minds and hearts can be connected across worlds and universes?

[The topic comes up a lot here, considering the situation they're all in—not on the network so much, but in Kadoc's mind, and some of his conversations. He dwells on it often. This is the first time he's ever seen anyone ask openly like this, and . . . well, why not jump in?]

Before all this, I knew there were alternative realities, or timelines. But I was under the impression they were finite. Now, I don't think there's any reason to believe they're not infinite. Every universe may itself be finite, and every world in that universe may have a finite capacity to branch off into alternative selves. But the number of universes . . . I dunno. There's no reason to think they can't be infinite. . . . Does that make any sense?

[Naboo, huh? That's new.]

I'm not sure if it's an actual name, but people call the planet I'm from Gunsmoke sometimes. [He's heard No Man's Land proposed, too.]

Humans were never meant to live on it. But colonists from Earth crashed there and had to make do.
