(OOC: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=150671.msg6222580#msg6222580)

The howling wind over the twisted fragments and desolate ruins, and the distant sounds of battle, all interrupted by the resounding

*Chooom*




"...it's basically known as an ultimate prison, somewhere that certain multidimensional groups in this particular branch of reality use as a dumping ground for entities that are otherwise hard to contain. Nothing's ever come back out, hence "The legendary Event Horizon." Make sense?"

"Yes, I see. So, whence do we travel next?"

"Always open to suggestions. Like my own, if no one can think of anything good. So, "gang", any ideas?"

[~Neri]

"We could visit literal Hell. I imagine the sensations would be fascinating."

[armach]

"I dearly hope you're joking."

[~Neri]

"I am not."

[WillowLuman]

"Goddamnit Koi, we were just there. Miss it already?"

^{"I thought it was rather nice..."}

[~Neri]

"You and I know that I was referring to the Hell with pain. Not the one with Amish twats."

[armach]

"Don't be rude Koi."

[~Neri]

"They were amish. Ruled by an amish falsegod. Lived in amish houses. Had no Mem. And they had severe memory issues and erosion of personality as well as quite literally memetic behaviors. I believe that fits the definition of 'Amish Twat'"

"I'm not one to judge what you do in your free time, Koi, but let me tell you that 8 million times out of 8 million and 1 times, Hell is not a place you want to be. Whatever version you find, they're very often run by someone like that smiley little shit, except they're intentionally giving you a bad time."

[~Neri]

"Statistically likely."

"On an unrelated note. What was with the men with colors and hats and pens? They seemed amusing."

[WillowLuman]

"They were representatives of an organization so pretentious, they make post-human space empires look humble. Their idea of their own prestige is so massive, they don't even think their organization needs a name. Some call 'em Black Hats, White Hats, The Agency, The Bureau, The Omniscient Council of Vagueness, and so on and so on. They're dedicated to the utterly futile mission of bringing law and order to the totality of existence, mostly by trying to regulate travel between other universes and dimensions. Of course, since the totality of existence is friggin infinite, however many branches they manage to control, there will always be an infinite number that they don't..."

The Traveler seemed to realize that he was rambling.

"...Anyways, naturally they're not fans of people who hop around willy-nilly and don't play by their rules, so..."

[~Neri]

"Infinite universes means infinite potential employees means infinite capacity to maintain blockade over said infinite universes. I do believe it's an entirely mathematically feasible goal."

[WillowLuman]

"And that's your limited understanding of totality, grasshopper. Among many, many other things, the infinite meta-timeline problem and the turtles-all-the-way-down problem. Which are both actually the always-bigger-fish problem. Which is to say, at whatever level you happen to exist at, it will always turn out to be a sub-level of something else. So, for instance, say you conquer an entire multiverse. Congratulations. Now there's an infinite number of alternate versions of that bubble of existence where you didn't. And where you did but differently. And where someone else did."

Jaden, lying on one of the sofas recently installed in the control room, seemed to momentarily return from spacing out. "Woooah, man."

[~Neri]

"That just means there are theoretically infinite more available additional existence instances to conquer with your theoretically infinite quantity of people. Some might take that as a challenge rather than an exercise in futility."

[armach]

"The real challenge is me having to listen to both of you arguing everyday without feeling the need to wring both of your necks."
