61st Transformation [text]

[exeggutorhead]

So we're all from different worlds, right? Whole planets full of millions of people.

So what are the odds that people who know each other show up all the time? They've got to be astronomical, but we can almost EXPECT it to happen.

I'm from one of those worlds that isn't one with Europe and America and all that. And almost everyone who's ever shown up and heard of my country? Either I've known them or someone else here has. And every single one of them has been from the same time period of a few years. Nobody I only knew from, say, a hundred years ago ever shows up.

[Random Joe Notinvolved from Amestris should by all rights appear so why doesn't that happen? This is something he thinks about on and off, but after his conversation with Jimmy the other day, it's itching at his mind again.]

Has anyone else noticed something like this?

I'm from Japan in 2009, so that's close. And yes, Europe definitely exists.

[... Oh. Well then.]

You must be bored. I imagine you've seen quite a lot.

[exeggutorhead]

Just wondering. People from worlds where it doesn't tend to be the weird ones for things like this. So, is anyone else you know here?

I've seen all kinds of things, but I keep myself entertained well enough. Progress is always happening, and there's always changing culture to learn.

And this place comes with all kinds of new experiences.

[crouching_sin]

Yes. Apparently he's been here for four years.

That's true. Still, history tends to repeat itself, doesn't it? At least in my world.

[exeggutorhead]

And is he from a time before or after yours?

Of course history repeats itself, humanity never really changes no matter where you go. But that doesn't mean I have to get bored.

[crouching_sin]

Roughly the same, as far as I can tell.

True. There's always more things to learn. It depends if you're the type to seek it out, but it seems like you are.
