There are more new faces here than I've seen in a long time. Let's keep introductions short. My name is Bruce Wayne, multi-billionaire who now works on the board for Mr. Wechester's company. I'm sure you'll have heard of him at some point the longer you are here.

You're in a reality known as Haven. It's a desert filled environment with people who seem to believe in survival before anything else. Given the state of this outpost - city? I can't say I blame them. It seems like they'll let us take up odd jobs. Most of us have our current jobs in tact, even if the buildings outside have changed in appearance.

Your phone will allow you to contact any of us who are your fellow reality travelers. We seem to flux into new realities every few months, but, there's never any guarantee how long we're in one place for. Magic exists among your fellow travelers - so do superpowers and superheroes. We all come from different realities. Some of us come from the same ones.

I'm starting a project... a team. If you're willing to help gather information on the realities we traverse to and keep an eye on things? Get in touch with me.

For everyone else that's new? Introduce yourselves to one another.

( threadhop all you'd like! bruce will be keeping an eye out on things. )

You just want a reason to call me Choir Boy again 🙄 lol

First thing I'd think of 😘

[menarebrave]

You've never encountered imposter syndrome on social media?

[ it's totally him throwing the fact he wants people to think he's an ego playboy lbr ]

[menarebrave]

I'm guessing you can throw it pretty far too. [ /smooth ]

[menarebrave]

Craters deep enough that there's no way anything could grow in them again?
This must be quite the change for you then.

[menarebrave]

I'm guessing the danger is too great for people to want to create families.

[ What A Pair. I dig it. ]

What happens when your Extinction Entity goes off? There has to be a way to restart life in your version of Earth. Things are... persistent to say the least.

[ Unfortunately, Bruce has no idea about the Mother Boxes. So there goes that idea. ]

[menarebrave]

That's a possibility as well. Something tells me he won't just tell us even if we asked.

I had that thought as well.

[menarebrave]

If you think we could make donuts in this environment. I doubt baking is going to go well.

Not that I've seen. But, it's something to be aware of. We were in the high altitudes of snow and now in the bedrock of a desert.

[greatdeliverer]

As far as I know, the land's pretty much salted and burned.
There are still places that weren't hit by the blasts where things grow.
Forests -- I visited a wheat farm once.
But yeah, it's been weird. Seeing all these people just walking around outside.

[finalrequest]

It's more like nobody wants to bother getting close enough to even attempt to procreate. Most people live alone, even in the cities.

In the past, life has survived. Mammals emerged from the extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs, for instance. That much is true.

In this latest case, though... well. Maybe the Earth will start over with bacteria, but even that is doubtful. Sea life was completely wiped out by the Stranding, and that WASN'T the Extinction Event that's to come.

The Extinction Entity isn't a hypothetical for the record, She's a person. I've spoken with Her on multiple occasions. She's had a whole plan cooked up for decades. Likely longer than I've been alive.

[wantadistraction]

Yeah, which goes hand in hand with making it hard to figure him out.

Which makes me feel even better about being brought here now, let me assure you.

[crazy_white_girl]

If you put it like that, I probably don't want any donuts from him.

I wonder where they'll put us next. Undersea or something?

Please don't let it be that.

[crazy_white_girl]

I don't need a reason for that 😍

That I'm not the first thing you think of when you say 'divine'? 😂

[too_honest]

I can't with you lol 🙄

[crazy_white_girl]

And yet you constantly do!

[too_honest]

True
Good to meet you, Sir :)
And look forward to meeting you

[menarebrave]

I'd rather avoid living Ariel and the talking crab. Don't give them ideas, Tandy.

Maybe Mars. Although Haven is pretty close to that.

[menarebrave]

Any special skills you have? We might as well discuss baseline information.

[menarebrave]

The end of the human race comes down to fear as opposed to a disastrous event. Fitting.

A person that can't be reasoned with? Made to see the value of what she destroys? Or, is it, something she can't stop no matter what? Sounds like a rather infuriating god-like being to know.

[crazy_white_girl]

Shit. What if I just did? Oh crap.

Okay, let's hope for somewhere nice and friendly. More like the beach again?

[finalrequest]

it's both.

You can't reason with a force of nature, after all. There have been other Extinction Entities in the past, five, to be exact. The whole gradual or sudden changes in environment stories they tell is because the truth, that one Entity has the power to wipe out all life on a whim, is incredibly frightening.

She'll feed you a lot of feel-good lines about how helping Her is the right thing to do, but at the end of the day the Extinction Entity doesn't care about anyone, and likely never has.

[too_honest]

I can teleport

/slides in like a million years late

[menarebrave]

...Teleport. Not running at some hypersonic speed.

[menarebrave]

We know who to come talking to if we end up in the ocean next time.

I could use a trip back to Beachville after everything.

[menarebrave]

[ You can't reason with a force of nature? No. But, argue and try to stop it? Bruce Wayne certainly would. This is the man that found a way to bring a near-godly like being to a mortal level for a toss around an abandoned building. ]

Did you fall for those feel-good lines? Or, did the possible extinction and resetting of life on the planet just sound like a good idea? I'm guessing that the idea of it all ending when the world is in a dire place seems more appealing.

[finalrequest]

I was told I had a part in it. I just didn't realize that my part was "be turned into a villain against your will to manipulate a man She had wrapped around Her finger his entire life".

I did horrible things, because I was so taken in by something I couldn't even begin to understand I thought I was the one in control.

I wasn't.
