I've been wondering, Scorched.

[ Arthur has been training since before the sun rose: it's visible in the flush across the bridge of his nose, the way his blond bangs are sticking dark to his temples, the slouch of his usually straight-backed posture. But he needs a break, a distraction from his own mind, from the questions that have been plaguing it without concrete answer. ]

Say that the Door started — temporarily — working the way that all doors should, and we could all trip merrily back to our own worlds.

[ A breath, considering whether he's really going to ask. Despite his slightly laconic tone, he knows how depressing some of the answers he'll get will be. But he still wants to know: ]

Would you stay here in Anatole?

Or would you go home?

As long as the choice was offered to everyone and not just myself, yes.

[No way in hell he's leaving his partner here all by himself.]

Yeah, open door scenario.

[He nods.]

Then yes, I would return to Sternbild--provided I can drag my partner away from helping everyone else, of course.

[king]

Of course. What's your world like, if you don't mind me asking?

[thejakeisalie]

Well... it is. Just a world, I suppose. Cities and villages... cars and trains. A normal world. We do have the NEXT, and Hero television, neither of which seem to be in other worlds, according to the people I've spoken to so far. Perhaps those aspects of my world are unique to it.

What's a train?

[thejakeisalie]

[That takes him aback a little.]

Ah... it's a machine that can go much faster than a car, mainly used for transporting people or goods.

You... don't have them in your world?
