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.

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

[waitings4wimps.livejournal.com]

I remember Sonic and Knuckles calling us all crazy. I guess for non-Special Zone folk we were never sane. I suppose some are just crazier than others, like my dad.

[vocaloidiot]

Compared to all of that, falling through a whatever into this world must be pretty standard, huh...

[waitings4wimps.livejournal.com]

It actually is. In fact, we kind of do that on a regular basis. Our pal, the Omni-Viewer, brings us to all sorts of worlds! I wouldn't be surprised if he's my way back home.

[vocaloidiot]

...... what are the chances of a lift home if that happens, exactly

[waitings4wimps.livejournal.com]

Pretty good, as long as the Omni-Viewer could figure out what world you're from. Omni's pretty good about being able to teleport others to different worlds. If he knew of our problem, I bet he'd bring everyone home!

Problem is, he still hasn't found us yet.

[vocaloidiot]

... huh! It's worth bearing in mind at least, though... I guess until the problem's actively fixed it could just happen again.

[waitings4wimps.livejournal.com]

I suppose we should find a solution to the continuous newcomers first. If Vector were here, he'd find a solution. HE's the brains of my group.

So anyway, you wanted to hear a story?

[vocaloidiot]

Not specifically, I was just looking for world info! I won't turn one down, though.

[waitings4wimps.livejournal.com]

Now that I think about, the story I was thinking about is a little long for the BBS. Mind a shorter story about an army of robots attacking?

[vocaloidiot]

......... ttttthat depends how much you enjoy punching robots as a rule.

[waitings4wimps.livejournal.com]

I love punching robots! It's just that there was an army of them, so it wasn't too fun that time. Besides, they were evil and wanted to destroy the world. If they're evil, they have to go down.

Thread jump ahoy! \o/

[fierybluebird]

Sounds like a tamer version of the Grand Line.

[waitings4wimps.livejournal.com]

Special Zone? Tame? I have to check out this Grand Line if Omni can get me there! It sounds better than a world covered in stupid bees. That's for sure.

[fierybluebird]

I'm pretty sure there is a bee island on the Grand Line. There's pretty much an island for everything. Dinosaurs, monsters, okama, underwater breathing, pineapples. You name it. [... Honestly those listed ARE all canon islands...] But the ocean starts with a mountain where the ocean currents form a rushing river up over the top and stuff. It gives you a hint of what's to come.

[waitings4wimps.livejournal.com]

Dinosaurs and monsters? Now, I have to check it out. I just never want to see the bee island. I know one bee, and he's the must annoying person I ever met!

I never heard of an ocean coming out of a mountain of all places! your home sounds nuts all right! I'll take the super villains and even the stupid "Charmy wins" any day.

[fierybluebird]

Does he buzz a lot? [He couldn't resist it.]

Charmy? What's that?

[waitings4wimps.livejournal.com]

Charmy is the bee I mentioned, and yes, he does buzz a lot! He buzzes in our faces, every time he flies - pretty much all the time!

But the worst thing about him is every time he opens his mouth. Just a few words and a ton of gibberish. "Diddley-Doo" and "Yippity-Yays!" Sometimes I just want to sock him for it!

[fierybluebird]

Wow. That... does sound really annoying. Eh, luckily most of my crew is pretty awesome. And the annoying ones I just avoid.

[waitings4wimps.livejournal.com]

I have to admit that you're a lucky one. My crew only had six members members. One became a traitor and sold us out for money, and two I want to punch regularly.

[fierybluebird]

You'd be amazed where traitors can hide.

[waitings4wimps.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. Nack caught us all by surprise that day.

[fierybluebird]

Having a best friend turn on you is never something someone would expect. It'd take an extremely suspicious mind to always be that wary and they wouldn't make many friends to begin with.

[waitings4wimps.livejournal.com]

Well, I would call him my best friend. He had more in common with the others. Still, you're right. I wouldn't trade any potential friendships for potential traitors.
