How are you thinking of this place?

Do you think you're a prisoner of some sort of powerful magic or do you think you're dead? Or is it something else?

If it's death, were you close to dying when you then woke up here? Because I know I wasn't. I cannot die so if this is death, I have some questions.

A simulation?

So, we're prisoners being subjected to something technological?

[janescayre]

It makes a lot of sense if you think about it.

What's more realistic? That we're all dead? That we've been whisked away to another reality?

Or someone uploaded our consciousness into a fake one? The technology to do it wasn't so far off where I'm from.

[dreamlords]

I suppose it wasn't that far off from mine either. Though, I would wonder why they would go that route.

[janescayre]

It's the easiest way to control the setting for one.

And I imagine they'd be able to mess with our data in all sorts of nasty ways.

That said, I can't say with certainty that it's the truth. It may explain the strangeness of this world, but in that case the outsider participants shouldn't be equally strange. What purpose does making someone imagine they're a Greek God serve?

[dreamlords]

I have no idea.

Whatever the aim of this place, it's a mystery to me. But I just cannot believe that I'm dead. It wouldn't be possible.

And this doesn't feel like any afterlife that I've heard of.

[janescayre]

Why wouldn't it be possible?

Though I agree, it's a ridiculous premise for anyone to believe. Something else has to be going on here.

[dreamlords]

Because I can't die. That's why.

[janescayre]

[Stares at this]

Are you going to tell me you're another god?

[dreamlords]

An Endless.

[janescayre]

[LOUD GROANING]

I may be a novelist but I'm dead sick of all these fantasy tropes.

Fine, what's an Endless?

[dreamlords]

An Endless is an Endless.

I don't know what else to say to it. I've dominion over dreams and nightmares.

[janescayre]

So like a Yume no seirei? Or are you like Mare or Morpheus?

[Lit and myth nerds rise]

Can you prove it?

[dreamlords]

Why should I have to do that?

[janescayre]

Because it sounds ridiculous.

[dreamlords]

That isn't my problem.

[janescayre]

People can say anything online. How am I supposed to take such a harebrained claim like that seriously?

If I told you I was Princess Kaguya and shot lightning bolts from my eyeballs, wouldn't you be the slightest bit suspicious?

[dreamlords]

You can do whatever you want to do. I don't care. I know what's true just as you would know what's true.
