( what up, futuro. the message comes in the form of video transmission without preamble or introduction, but he doesn't really need that, anyway. )

Looks like ALASTAIR's assembled a whole collection of characters from across the universes, huh? Pardon my asking, but what're your homelands like? Figure if I'm not gonna go elsewhere anytime soon, it'd be interesting to hear about yours. Since, you know - we've got a bit of downtime.

I'll admit I'm curious to hear about other worlds as well. There seems to be a number of humans here, and it's strange to think that they're on so many worlds.

I come from Thedas. [And he's a little stuck on where to go from there. It occurs to him that he doesn't know what's 'normal' for other worlds and not worth mentioning and what's strange.]

There's... humans, elves, dwarves, and Qunari mostly? We don't really have much of the technology that others here seem used to. Otherwise I'd say we don't have anything that I've noticed as strange to others, but I haven't done much asking either.

Do you have magic and demons and spirits in your world?

[meramera]

Tell me about it. Wouldn't exactly call myself narrow-minded but it's kinda incredible finding out about these other places all the same.

'Bout your question, though - I guess the devil fruits would count as something 'magical' - assuming y'mean some special ability that regular people don't have. As for demons and spirits, well -- haven't seen any of those yet, but they exist somewhere, I'm sure.

[strikingtwice]

I suppose it might, although in Thedas magic is magic and people sometimes have other strange abilities as well that aren't magical exactly. But they come from training and hard work, not a fruit, so maybe it's not that different.

What makes you so sure that demons and spirits exist if you've never seen them? Do you have the Fade as well?

[He somewhat doubts that's the case considering the Fade's origin as he understands it, but perhaps it's possible.]

[meramera]

You've gotta go somewhere after you die, right? ( somewhere not here, he almost adds, but thinks the better of it. the pirate's beginning to think his case in particular might be a little special. ) As for demons, s'just a thought, I guess. Haven't seen anything proving their existence - besides the fruits themselves, though there might be a chance they aren't responsible for those - but I haven't seen anythin' that completely disproves it, either. What's the Fade?

[strikingtwice]

That's true, although I'm not quite sure how the two relate? [Wait, he thinks he has heard something about human beliefs there but it seems like it wouldn't apply to other worlds...]

Those who believe in Andraste in my world say that the soul travels through the Fade to the Maker's side when they die. My people believe that we pass through the Veil into death, and that Falon'Din used to guide us on the path.

But if you don't have the Fade or the Veil in your world, I'm not certain what would happen. It would have to be different on different worlds, wouldn't it?

[meramera]

Iunno, thought the idea was somewhat the same. I mean, what those two beliefs have in common is that you don't just disappear into nothing when you kick the bucket -- even then, y'can't really confirm it's completely true unless someone who's experienced it says so -- maybe that's how it generally works? ( nevermind the fact that he of all people should know; after all, the last thing ace remembers before waking in oska for the first time is dying. )
