[since robin has been around for a few days she has already gotten a grasp of this place. she had been asking certain questions to the right kind of people- but now she wanted to address everyone entirely.]

Hello everyone- I suppose I'll start this off with an introduction. My name is Robin, I was a tactician for a group called the Shepherds back home. I won't be asking very much about this place- I luckily gained all the knowledge I really needed from that girl back at the bay. [ty based hologram.]

However, I still have a few inquiries. How many of you were aware of the Outrealms before initially coming to this place? I believe the worlds out there are just other forms of Outrealms, if my terminology is confusing that is.

And.... I suppose I am curious about the timeline involved in this sort of place. I understand there are those that have come back from the dead here- which only leads me to believe that this space is working with time completely differently. Perhaps it reverses time for those that have passed-? ....Just a theory, really, I don't mean to become too much of a downer.

One last thing- I hear there are weapons here that don't break after a certain amount of use? Fascinating, I must know the secret, I would love to strengthen my Levin Sword and tomes that I have with me.

...wait, weapons just... break for you?

[thorons]

It is a bit of an inconvenience, I'll admit. They're made to break.

[bawww what a world she lives in!]

[ruby_roses]

[A look of abject horror settles in on Ruby's face.]

MADE to break!? Those poor things! The blacksmiths in your world ought to be ashamed of themselves! I mean, I've been using Crescent Rose since I forged her back in Signal, and I know people like my Uncle and Dad have been using their weapons since before I was born!

[She shudders.] Don't think I'd last long in your world.

[Ike casually listens to the conversation as he works at cleaning his home. It's a thing he inherited from a friend after he vanished, and it's unusual architecture, so he's paying little attention to the broadcast.

Until the woman speaking says one word.

Outrealms.

Ike immediately drops the broom he was using and runs over to the table where he set his device. After some fumbling, he turns it on and responds.]

You said "Outrealms," right? I didn't hear that wrong, did I? Because if so, I know exactly what you're talking about.

[Video]

[thorons]

[whoa! this guy seems to be a bit frantic! robin notices the way he is speaking and it seems as though she may have found someone else that knows about her outrealm, or rather- other outrealms.]

No, you didn't hear me wrong. Admittedly- I don't know everything about all of the Outrealms, but I do know of some. [future past being one of them.]

I take it you are from another Outrealm as well?

[Video]

[blue_flames]

Well...that's a matter of perspective.

[Ike naturally doesn't think of his own world as an Outrealm. Just as he's sure Robin doesn't think of where she comes from as one.]

But my home is connected to the Outrealm, and I've spent some time exploring it. Are you familiar with Tellius at all?

Okay, good theory but it's definitely not reversing time on the dying. Shit's impossible. It's probably more of a freeze and remove before the death kicks in one-hundred percent kind of deal. Steal your on-the-brink-of-death body out of a timeline right before you go brain dead and do whatever healing magics without changing the alpha timeline where everyone definitely knows and remembers you kicking the bucket. If they put you back, you'd go back to being a corpse. We're in a totally different universe that's snatching from our various ones without being chronological about it, that's all.

[thorons]

....I see. A little winded- but I see. I'm just one of those that... should have died, so I'm just trying to put the pieces together.

[she should be dead. she hopes she is dead. so if 'the death' really hasn't kicked in, then her world is in big trouble.]

video;

[stairsbro]

Yeah, sorry. The words just keep happening. ...That sucks for you. Sorry about your demise. [ blunt but the apology is clearly sincere, at least. there's a ghost of a frown on his face. dying definitely does suck and he knows it. well, not in a permanent sort of way. ] For some pieces, as far as my understanding of it is using my sweet credentials as a literal god of time, you're totally dead back wherever you turned up from and this is a bonus level that doesn't change that. So. Enjoy your temporary state of living, I guess?

[This is the face of someone who isn't happy to see your face, Robin: the only way Lucina remembers you is as Grima's vessel and she's quick to switch to defensive mode.]

What are you doing here?

[Yes, she ignored all your questions, sorry, she's not trusting you. But then again, considering how she acted when she thought you were flirting with her father, even if in another world, it shouldn't be a total surprise how she jumps to conclusions sometimes.]

@Video, Private

[thorons]

[initially, robin was extremely happy to see lucina's face... however, as soon as she realized the hostility, she knew that this wasn't the lucina from her own timeline.

she had mentioned outrealms-.... so was this lucina from the timeline where grima destroyed everything?

robin shook her head slowly, her eyes focused entirely on lucina's.]

This isn't what it looks like. We haven't met before, right? Not like this? I'm not your Grima, I'm not from your timeline. It may sound crazy but- you have to believe me, Lucina.

[fallsuccession]

[Oh man... Uhh....]

Uhm... Well yes... That's true... although I don't think that... it reverses time. I still remember everything that lead up to it....

Video;

[thorons]

No, not a time reversal exactly, but only takes the person and puts them in another time and space.

Although, talking about it out loud does make it sound far more unbelievable than I initially meant.

[gohomeivar]

Those must be some pretty poorly made weapons if they break after a while of use...

Video;

[thorons]

They are of the highest quality. They just.... seem to stop working over time and need to be switched out for another weapon.

[it ends up costing her so much money. it depresses her, especially when talking about the shepherd's finances with someone like laurent- it's just not a good time.]

[inhisdebt]

You're probably the most well informed new comer here that I've seen. The dead don't stay dead here though.

Video;

[thorons]

A good tactician should always remain well informed. I have been here for a couple days already- so I definitely had time to ask around.

[but yes, back on topic-] Do you have any idea why the dead can come back to life?

Video~

[skilledwithwords]

It's nice to meet you Robin. I'm Levy McGarden. Outrealms isn't a word that I am familiar with but I am familiar with the existence of other worlds.

[She pauses remembering each point that Robin had brought up. As she thinks Robin might glimpse a collection of books behind Levy.]

Each person is part of their own timeline I believe. That probably isn't phrased correctly but there are others from my world here but they remember more than me and I have no memory of them disappearing and arriving here.

I don't know much about weapons, I use magic.

Video~

[thorons]

I suppose it must be common knowledge living here, right?

Timelines can be... tricky. I had only brought it up because I know others from the future that had come to the past.

[oh a magic user? interesting!] Are you a mage then?

video;

[pinklight]

I... don't think this place reverses time, even to revive the dead.

[That confused the younger girl slightly.]

video;

[thorons]

Time is a strange concept for sure. If not that, then how would someone who has died be moved to another world? I can't seem to wrap my head around it right now.

[youfool]

Hah, by now you likely know your brittle arms are the exception, not the rule. Welcome to Genessia! I'm Ted. Let me know if you need anything. I've even got an enchanted sword you can look at that's supposed to be practically invincible. Cool to the touch, too; handy for summer.

[thorons]

Hello Ted.

Enchanted? Truly...? How did you come across such a weapon?

video;

[livable]

Personally I'm hoping someone who was dead back home and not revived via mystical means before arrival actually comes forward. So far no one's really a fan of openingly admitting it without the veil of anonymous.

video;

[thorons]

I can see why it would be hard to admit, it isn't a topic that many would openly discuss. I am saying however that I know I died... and yet here I am.
