Paradisa certainly has its terrible downsides, but who can deny its charm? It seems that one plague on the mind are the questions: why have we been taken here, and perhaps how, and where is here?

Why: certainly there must be a purpose to us being here, or to being removed from our previous worlds, no? If there were no purpose then it would not have happened.
How: there must also have been a means, but what it was, we can only begin to speculate.
Where: while we hesitate to assume our world is the one most similar to Paradisa, forgive our bias; it's inevitable. It makes the most sense to us, understandably. How else could such different realities converge if not through virtual reality? For that matter, how else could we - my twin and I - exist?

When it comes down to it, it seems how might be useful: then one might return home, or bring their family here. Where ties in much the same. But what about why? Why do we care why?
We're asking you: what do you think, residents? Does why matter?


...On an equally curious but perhaps less dreary note,
Soren, did you enjoy the tea?
And Aeris, the cookies? Check outside your door.

[ooc: Aerismun, cookies are in a basket outside her door. Lawl. Also, Paradisa, pretend post this was a touch earlier, thanks.]

You haven't figured out the reason yet?

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

Which? The reason we're here, or the reason "why" matters?

[notsomuchakitty.livejournal.com]

The purpose of our being here. Why this world has seen fit to draw us in. Why it steals things from us.

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

We think that, perhaps, Paradisa i

[notsomuchakitty.livejournal.com]

Then it would appear that you are correct.

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

[a pause, and then chuckling]

So very similar. We've become t

[more chuckling]

[windtactics.livejournal.com]

The 'why' has potential to matter, I think.


...

And yes, I enjoyed the tea.

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

Why?


Certainly sounded like it~ We're glad.

[windtactics.livejournal.com]

If we were brought here for a purpose, wouldn't it do well to know what that purpose is?

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

We suppose it depends on the purpose itself. If knowledge of it could aid us, of course. But what if it's something that leaves us in the same place we were before, except now burdened with knowing something we'd rather not?

[windtactics.livejournal.com]

Disliking information isn't an acceptable reason for not finding it out.

Knowledge of why could lead to new possibilities. And besides, having gained something doesn't leave you in the exact same condition you were before. Place, yes, but the situation has changed.

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

Why not?
What's that saying, ignorance is bliss?

You've a point, Soren. But what if the situation is worse now that you know its nature? Or perhaps you believe any knowledge is good knowledge.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

Personally, I don't give a shit about anything except how.

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

Oh? Why not?

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

Why and where are irrelevant as long as I can get the fuck out.

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

But motive and location can drastically alter the circumstances associated with escape.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

I personally don't need to think about this shit, anyway. If I keep an ear to the ground long enough, I'm bound to hear somebody's little eureka, and then I'm as good as gone.

[a surprised noise is transcribed, followed by a long pause as she goes to check]

.. I didn't know they were there..

[another pause]

Thank you.


((OOC: ... just because I have to ask, will they do anything strange to her? XD or are they just normal cookies omg?))

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

You're quite welcome, mademoiselle.

[protegerai.livejournal.com]

[Rustling is recorded as she picks up the basket and looks through it]

.. why?


((OOC: 8D OKAY. .... rofllll I might do that, not sure. XD ♥))

[Aeris]

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

An apology, of sorts, on behalf of our apparently very negative reputation. We can't change our nature, but we can be sorry it discomforts someone such as yourself.

[Two]

[protegerai.livejournal.com]

[Another long pause]

.. that's very kind of you. Though you might have to forgive me~ Reputations don't just grow out of nowhere, you know. So I'm still going to be cautious.

The cookies are good, though. [scribbled smiley]

[littleblackcait.livejournal.com]

And here I didn't think either of you was capable of rational thought. Hmm... the why matters. Usually when one finds out the why, the how and when fall into place shortly thereafter.

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

Why would you think such a silly thing? Logic is all we have, as programmes.

But we beg to differ: the why may influence the means, but generally is not enough to imply substantial details from an outsider's point of view.

Misa doesn't mind this place so much. Well, except for the part where it killed me and stole stuff from me, but yeah!

Misa thinks this place just makes no sense. &hearts
