[ Soon after LILITH hands the decision to Outsiders, Ratio makes a post on the ocular network. ]

I hope you have all had ample time to rest from the aftermath of the kaiju's attack. However, it is time to turn our attention to the future. We have been given an opportunity to decide our next step.

1: Stay in Seoul and assist the city.
2: Chase after the escaped Imugi.

[ SIGHS as usual, forums always generate absolutely useless comments. He should have expected it smh. ]

Hence why I provided space for it. Though I see most did not bother adhering to the format provided...

You seem to have history with him. Were you acquainted prior to arriving here?

[fursuit]

quicker to just toss your thoughts out there without it. ease wins

but yeah, I am. me him and that guy Silco, we all had a stop before coming here. place called kenos. similar catastrophe that needed people from all over to solve it, just bigger scale. I wasn't there all that long, but the other two were there for way longer

[curingidiocy]

I suppose I must resign myself to be content that people are willing to discuss their thoughts.

Yet another planet that summons individuals from all over the cosmos?

[ Just how many planets have that kind of technology??? ]

[fursuit]

planet ain't exactly the word for what it was, but for simplicity's sake? yeah

imagine an end of the world scenario kinda like this but rather than fighting together, you're fighting each other. that's pretty much the deal. two sides that had two different ideas about how to continue civilization

[curingidiocy]

And they summoned people to combat each other instead of using that technology to rebuild their world?

[ There's more to it, right? He's learned not to make assumptions, though his current opinion is that those people must be idiots. ]

[fursuit]

did both, technically. the place had been around for a real long time, so they'd established themselves decently well there over generations, but still not ideal. imagine a buncha islands just floating in space. could magically traverse them, but still limited by the chunk of land. big conflict between the two sides over the one that was farmland, for example

the people that got summoned were for the next steps. the pitch was that our worlds were destroyed, and there was some truth to that, pretty sure. so, you try and reset the clock and bring back those worlds? or you look to the future and try and make something new?

was on the latter team myself with silco. set was on the former. we're all buddies, but that was NOT the case for pretty much anyone else. lots of fighting. lots of death too. but hey death didn't really stick unless you were hardcore enough to crush someone's soul so wasn't so bad. I'll miss the free revives

[curingidiocy]

I see. A difference in vision that fundamentally incompatible would naturally lead to conflict.

[ And he can't fault them for warring over limited resources. That was the origin of war, after all. A desperate struggle to survive, even if it means trampling on others. ]

Interesting. We've yet to confirm the existence of the soul, so such revival technology would be impossible in my world, if it truly involves the soul. Is it possible that they were merely copying your memories and inserting them into a newly created body?

[fursuit]

exactly. not exactly middle ground between bringing back all worlds or creating a new one, since it was one or the other. so, nice, juicy conflict as a result

functionally, that could be about how it worked. other thing was that our souls became a physical object. nice, pretty gem that was embedded into ya somewhere. that's what you popped into the ground at a world tree kinda deal. definitely regrew a new body every time.

but it was the real deal, can tell you that. I can see a soul for what it is. no faking that
