Destroyed in its entirety?

Earth takes in people that way?

[ Did Earth ever come up on that mission? It must've, at least in context enough. Or is this a coincidence? ]

[Lex thought about highschool. He had never gone to school himself but Earth was the only place he heard it called that. Maybe he shouldn't have said anything. He hoped to let Lex know he wasn't alone, but maybe he was projecting his own loneliness onto him.]

Yes. It's hard to describe how I know it's gone, but it is.

Not normally no. Earth's connection to my world is complicated. In the past people from Earth were banished there but that truth was buried. Any connection to Earth that carried over was cleverly hidden as stories about the ancient gods. Me and my friends happened to find an ancient portal in time.

[ ... Sheesh, what an amazing story. It's hard to describe how he knows it's gone? A portal that connects Earth and there? There's so many ways that can play out and this guy happened to be at the center of all of it? Lex was unsettled enough to have the experiences he'd had back with switching with Mitsuko, experiencing Gojo's memories... to have this guy know so much and have some inverted tale. ... Mmm ]

Ah well.

I'm sorry for you have experienced some stuff like that then

[For better or worse Altair was used to having glimpses of other lives in his head. Lex's memory had been more intense though which is why it was harder to move past it.]

Thanks, it was wasn't all bad. I met one of my best friends on Earth.

Well, one would hope you met at least someone nice there. I'd feel more bad if you didn't.

I could say the same about you.

[ . . . ]

There were and are some precious things for me there

I'm glad. I found some precious things along the way as well. I guess this place isn't bad either. Well, most of the time.

Well, I'm still getting used to it.

[ After all, it's barely been two full months as of this thread. ... Maybe threeish? I forget if the may trial ended at the end of may or beginning of June. Either way TI M E ]

Yeah I don't blame you. I still don't trust the relative peace here but I'm glad I was able to meet some of the people here.

[Lex included. Thinking about it that way made it easier to quiet the fears he had about this place. He had been here longer than Lex though, so he has had more time to adjust.]

Heeeh. Is that just in your head, or do you think there's some specific reason to be wary?

Mostly a past experience with a 'helpful' god who I thought I could trust, but she had her own agenda. It's why my world was destroyed.

I doubt the fox wants us to reach our potential solely for our sake. Some of the trials are also proof that she doesn't care about what she puts us through to reach that goal. Take this one for instance, sure sharing memories could bring us closer together but at an unfair price to you.

[ Well.

He doesn't disagree with that. But at the same time, hey, he... yeah. ]

Oh I don't think it's for our sake, I agree. Still working out all the details here for myself. I don't have an idea for its agenda, just sort of the idea of it being a Conceptual being.

Yeah that's the problem. There is too much we don't know about Thirteen or this place.

[Which is what worried him the most. Ignorance cost him too much in the past and he didn't want anyone here to have their world shattered by the truth like he did.]

Well, you'd know better

I'll see where I end up in a while

[ After all this thread is in the ancient times ]

I wish I could tell you more. If I find out anything I promise I'll tell you.

Yeah! I'll be counting on you
