Okay, so, we're all from different places! Which is pretty cool and all if you think about it objectively and ignore the fact we're horribly stuck on a floating island with a tendency to plummet into the ungodly seas and leave us potentially scrabbling at the shore while the icy depths pull us down aaaaaaaaaaa

where was I er

What this means is that everyone's seen and experienced different stuff! For all I know, your home world might be a technological marvel that puts even me to shame! For all you know, my home world might be covered in bees. But we don't know because we all just potter through classes. Show off a little! What's the coolest, neatest story you've got? There's bragging rights in it and a little reminder of home never hurt anyone.

My home world's here.

Sorry, that's not very exciting, is it?

[vocaloidiot]

Ah, I didn't even think of that.

I guess you've got giant floating islands with a tendency to etc etc etc, though!

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

And just what "bragging rights" are there?

[skeptical girl is skeptical]

[vocaloidiot]

Well, you never know what'll tickle people's fancy! It's not like I'm the judge or anything.

We had materia. That's something different.

Other than that... lots of similarities.

[vocaloidiot]

Maybe you're from a close-quantum-fold universe!... I've got no idea what one of those might be, but the word 'quantum' makes it sound a whole lot cooler.

You weren't supposed to tell anyone about the bees, Kaito!

[vocaloidiot]

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.

[eggplantallergy]

This is a really nice topic!

My home world is known for having people of multicolored hair. Only royalty had brown or black hair. It's still strange to see a color that isn't pink, yellow, purple, orange, white, green, pink, blue, etc on people...

[vocaloidiot]

Aah... that seems kind of backwards, until I think how it must have looked there.

[macgyvered.livejournal.com]

You worry too much you do.

Also: bees would make beebots.

[vocaloidiot]

Water's about the one thing that could actively damage us for long! It's the silent killer.

Also beebots are vetoed as seen up-post.

Hahah, but no-one else who sees this does! Brag away so people get to know!

--ah, and are you up for a trip out of Garden at the weekend?

I have little in the way of grand tales.

[At least, any that she can share. Some are a bit too personal. But she tries to think of some interesting snippet.]

...I recall seeing a device within Rabanastre, called the Moogling. It was run by moogles. Through magick, it transported citizens to various locations within the city.

[vocaloidiot]

Hold on, hold on! You're two steps ahead of me. Moogles?

[vocaloidiot]

Uwah! At least it's a classy location for one!

[dawningrain.livejournal.com]

I have a pet Panda back at home!

[vocaloidiot]

Uwah... they're seriously rare, where I'm from!

[waitings4wimps.livejournal.com]

Boy, do I have stories to tell! My home world is the Special Zone, and we have everything! Time travel, monsters, people that randomly turn into threats, super powers, a sky that changes color, you name it!

I think the best stories so far are the ones where Sonic came to visit.

[vocaloidiot]

How do you stay sane?

... ... do you stay sane

[fierybluebird]

Well, let's see. My world is mostly ocean and anyone with flavor is a pirate. The boring people tend to either stay boring or become marines, which are even more boring. If Ace ever tells you otherwise, he's lying, he's supposed to be a pirate. There's special fruit that turns people into having superpowers or monsters or whatever you want to see it as, except then they're doomed to never be able to swim.

I spent most of my childhood thinking I was a phoenix, not a human, and living alone like a bird until the greatest man in the world found me. He's about twenty-five feet tall and he was the strongest man in the world. He was a pirate, of course, because he was awesome like that. So I agreed to be his first mate and look after his crew because they were all idiots. Still are, but they're fun.

[Is he serious, is he lying? Who can say.]

[vocaloidiot]

... sadly, that's not the least believable story on the post...

[roadrolling.livejournal.com]

You're going to make people think we really live in a bee world!

[vocaloidiot]

I fail to see the problem here!

[cadetshota.livejournal.com]

[vocaloidiot]

Covered.

In.

Bees.

[dysley.livejournal.com]

[vocaloidiot]

... ... ... ... ... hold on, let me find my trauma whistle first

[dragalongtwin.livejournal.com]

Bees? Seriously?

[vocaloidiot]

It's as likely as anything else!

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

Stories? Well, I come from Sylvarant. I've been on a really long journey across Sylvarant, visiting all the major pilgrimage sites and large towns. The last place I was before coming here was a place called Hima! It was somewhere for travelers to rest. In the morning, I was going to ride a dragon!

[vocaloidiot]

--!! ... now I want a dragon to ride.
