This has probably been covered a bunch of times already and everyone's probably sick of people asking, but is there any way to know for sure - 100% sure - that someone's gone home and isn't just missing somewhere?

[ Allison's not entirely sure what sort of answer she wants here, honestly. ]

If someone leaves Asgard, their name disappears from the list on the network. Other than that, I don't know if there's a way to tell.

But that doesn't prove that they're home, right? It just means they're not here anymore.

[ Someone said it's possible that they'll end up in a completely other universe when they leave here; how does she know her dad (and Stiles, for that matter) didn't end up in one of those? ]

[forgotthemonster]

That's true. I guess I don't know for sure. I've never returned to my world yet, but everyone I know who left and came back said that they went home.

[gymnast]

How many people do you know that have done that? And did any of them remembering this place while they were back home?

[spaghettiokay]

Is their name on the list?

[gymnast]

No.

[titties]

They say that it's a matter of others not answering their devices, but I don't like the idea of limiting it to just that.

[gymnast]

I've heard that if they're not on the list, they're not here anymore. But I definitely agree; if they're just not answering, how do we know they're not just busy?

[titties]

Wha--seriously? ... Did you take a look?

[gymnast]

Yeah. I was kind of hoping it was a hiccup with the system or something. But even if it's not, his name not being on there doesn't mean he's gone home.

[ Paranoidville, population: one. ]

Missing someone?

[gymnast]

Yeah.

[ She considers leaving it at that, but then she figures that it's probably not the best to be short with Jackson just because she's worried about her dad. She's the one who wanted him and Scott to work together, after all; she can at least be nice to him, even while she's freaking out. ]

It's my dad. Stiles disappeared recently, too.

[bitofajerk]

Disappeared.

Like missing?

[ just say yes to that and that their belongings are still here or something allison. OR ELSE HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO COME TO TERMS WITH THE FACT THAT SOME PEOPLE GOT TO GO HOME AND HE DIDN'T. ]

[gymnast]

We haven't been able to find him/get a hold of him at all. Scott said something about his room being empty, too.

[ Stiles, she means. She hasn't gone to check out her dad's room, but it's not like it would make a difference since he probably didn't have much anyways. ]

[intenses]

I heard their name drops from the network's list, but I don't really have any experience with it. [ oh nooo, did allison lose a friend... ]

text

[gymnast]

That's what everyone keeps saying, but even that doesn't prove that they went HOME, it just means that they're not HERE.

text

[intenses]

Do you think they got sent somewhere else?

text

[gymnast]

It's possible, isn't it?

[ This place makes her believe that anything's possible, unfortunately. ]

Lancelot told me people have gone home and returned here. I know that's not solid proof but it's something.

I'm guessing you lost someone... I hope I didn't jinx you.

I talked to someone that had been here before, but he didn't remember Asgard when he got home. He wasn't even sure if he HAD actually gone home.

[ So while that's likely supposed to be comforting on some level, it's not really working for her. Sorry, Sam. ]

A couple someones, and I seriously doubt it was your fault.

text;

[whitechocolate]

Really? We don't remember anything? [Sam doesn't know how he feels about that. He doesn't want to forget the friendships he's made here.] I guess that's good for the people who've been through trauma here... Sorry about the people you lost.

You're a friend of Jackson's, right?

[formercheerio]

I don't know. Some people that go missing lose their bracelets. I think I'd rather they went home.

[gymnast]

Do they disappear from the list if they lose their bracelets?

1/2

[formercheerio]

I don't know. It was Sam that checked on Rachel and Kurt.

[formercheerio]

[ Just after the last one came in: ] Who is it?
