[Pft, smartphones, at least this is someone that actually understands how these things work and doesn't seem too annoyed to be here. Since, uh, kind of better than the alternative at this point.]

So, other than the whole spiel from the hologram there, someone mind answering the question on if, oh I don't know, time continues to move on while we're here? Because that would kind of be a problem I'd rather not have to deal with. [Not that she could do a damn thing if she could go home at this moment, but better to know and deal with the consequences later, right?

Probably.]

Also assuming that any sort of... legal issues stay away from here? Asking for a friend. [Not remotely subtle there, Jolyne.]

[Action]

[Really, it's not that uncommon to see someone like her in the streets normally enough. But seeing someone looking over their shoulder constantly as they move through the streets with definite purpose probably does.

And, for anyone that might happen to have some inclination to seeing things connected to a person's being/soul/whatever, totally might find the blue humanoid figure following behind her a little strange or suspicious, not that she seems to be paying it any mind.]

[ Suddenly, a small French vampire! She looks kind of... worn down a bit, it's been a busy few days with all of the chaos going on in Everglade. ]

From what I hear... if anyone leaves, they're sent back to the exact moment you left.

If you're planning anything, though... don't. I've already got manifestations of people's worst fears to be concerned about already without anyone adding to it! [ About as subtle as Gungnir to the face. ]

[Somehow nowhere near the weirdest thing she's seen, so she's merely raising a brow at the most.]

Wonder if there's a way to make it a bit earlier than when you got here... [She's just going to let that thought wander before finally addressing the second part and snapping out of her thoughts.]

What, the whole record thing? Nah, that was all something I didn't do, so we're fine. Not too interested in ending up behind bars or anything. Just didn't want to have to do the whole song and dance explaining what happened again, gets old after the first couple of times.

[ She should count herself lucky she never had to fight a vampire... unprepared, at least. This one even has her own fanatical minion in the form of Sakuya. ]

Ah, you're in luck since this... place is a little bit outside your home country's jurisdiction. Being a separate dimension and all that. Ah, might I suggest steering clear of Fayren and Everglade for the moment? They're both in a crisis, with those... spirits about.

Hello, miss! Welcome to Genessia!

[Someone's perky.]

As for your question, all I know for certain is that no one's ever expressed having that problem yet. You see, some arrive as you have, vanish, then arrive again with memories further advanced than before. During their second time, they've never reported Genessia or its advents as interrupting things.

Said another way, this world and others, as far as we know, don't appear to intersect, so there's no cause for worry.

[Genessia will provide plenty of those on its own.]

Ah, might I have your name? Mine's Ted.

[Perky people are weird, but answers are things she wants so she'll tolerate it, at least. For now. Don't screw it up, Ted.

Though she can't help a bit of a frown, it's not as if she could really go back, that was... mostly impossible at this point, she's pretty sure. But she's thankful to be in one piece right now, so there's that. But maybe there was some sort of hope to be found here... Who knew.]

That's probably better for all of you than it is me at this point.

Jolyne. [He's not getting her last name, oops.]

[Well now that you jinxed it he totally will.]

That's a nice name...

[Some variant of John or Joseph tailored to the feminine, he recalls vaguely. The ellipses are because he's pondering what in the world she means by that. If time did move on, it'd be trouble. If it didn't, or functionally didn't, it'd be...better for them? ???

Backstories are frustrating, not least of all because he's both curious enough to want to know yet mannerly enough to avoid asking.]

Well, nine-tenths of the time this is a tranquil place. Oh, and no, most don't take criminal pasts seriously. Reputation's another matter, but if no one else familiar shows up, you're in the clear.

I think it's more like you're taken from one point in time.
To your home world, it will seem like you've never left.

Whatever record your friend has won't follow them here.

Good to know, on both points. [Not that the first really matters that much, but the last part at least puts her at ease. A clean slate, huh? Better make the best of it.]

Anything else this thing didn't say that I should know or are we... good?

Weird stuff happens sometimes beyond showing up here and interacting with all sorts.

Usually during holidays.

The honest answer to your first question is no one knows for certain. As far as we know it's as if we're just plucked from various points in time and space. If you go to the Dream Docks, apparently you seem to 'go home' or experience time as if you had. Including growing up or new memories. From what's been studied, it seems as if you were never gone from the perspective of how those memories and experience happen.

[There's a half-smirk, half-smile.]

If you haven't figured it out, there are many more things we do NOT know about our circumstances here, than that we know for certain. Why and how we're taken, or how we go back--besides involuntarily--is one of those mysteries. Most people seem to settle in here like it's a 2nd chance in a way.

Which includes legally. If you had a criminal record back in your world, it's not carried over here unless you bring it up and make a deal. Much the same with any grudges, although there have been people who've tried. But as long as you behave yourself here, in terms of not endangering everyone or breaking the laws--you'll be fine.

[The Dream Docks is certainly a curious thing and she's moving to find a place to sit down and put her chin in her hand to address this screen some more. It's kind of nice to have some down time and not be behind bars, so she's not really going to complain.]

So what happens if someone goes to these Dream Docks and they're someone that died in their world? Has anyone tried that? [Because if not, she absolutely would. Look, it's not her fault she can get bored easily enough.]

Had no intentions on causing problems here, lots of stupid shit I did when I was younger, you know, that kinda thing. Teenagers do stupid shit, right? [Especially when rebelling against someone, but we won't talk about that.]

If anyone has, I don't know about it.

[There's a shrug.]

I haven't gone to them m'self, and they're on my list of things to study eventually. And as long as you're not planning on doing stupid shit that causes trouble or endangers people, you'll be fine then.

[Well, damn, that's on the list of things she needs to do almost immediately. Probably a bad idea, but that's pretty much her middle name at this point.]

I... see. And nah, unless someone gives me a reason to do something stupid, I'll just... take this opportunity to chill. [It probably won't last long, but it's okay.]

Good luck with that. Also depends on the 'stupid' that you're worried about. Sometimes this place springs different effects and stuff on us all, and it's not always necessarily caused by someone here. You just missed this thing where people in Fayren and Everglades had to face nightmare-monsters.

[Eh, that sounds like something she's glad to have missed. Though she can't help a small smirk as she's settling a little, this idiot right here.]

Believe me, I can hold my own well enough if I have to. Let's just say I've... seen some shit. Like invisible zombies, that was something. [Limp Bizkit was a trip, okay.]

You'll fit right in then, although I'd avoid Everglades if you don't want spooky stuff happening. Has anyone given you a primer on the cities? The hologram is good, but not everyone pays attention to it.

Nnnnope, other than the hologram and the info around it, haven't been given much otherwise. [She's quiet for a moment, just humming a little after that moment.]

Everglades? What, is it like some kind of horror movie shit or something?

One of the 4 main cities, through the different archways, connected to Genessia City. From where you wake up in the Bay, facing North--it's the gate to the West. For some reason, each city seems to be themed? Or something--and there are reasons for it, although we don't always know why. Everglades is friendly to monsters and supernatural beings. Fayren is more pastoral and old-fashioned villages, with castles and stuff. Nova City is very high technology with robots and rocket-delivered mail. Attleton is like a small town, but also has the Coliseum. Which is the one place where death and 'coming back from it' does not have a price.

Each of the cities has their own rules, and feel to it.

Plenty of people seemed to have answered your questions, so I will not add the list of exact same answers.

But the closest I got to know it personally is from people from your own world coming in and they didn't realize you were gone. I put that down to proof that time doesn't seem to move forward.

[Now that is actually valuable information and she's honestly more curious about it than she really should be.]

Is it possible for this place to bring people here from a time earlier than you are? Or is it, like, some sort of you being taken from an important point in time kinda thing? Just... curious.

Always a possibility, I am sure. Cannot use my example to prove one way or another however since the people I knew were from around the same point as I was at that time

Which is to say that was a fun moment when one in particular came. [he loved Hikari dearly, but honestly that was not an easy thing to deal with for him.]
