I know that there is a lot unknown and unexplained. There are a lot of questions that we'd like the answers to. I'd rather focus on what is known.

[ Who wouldn't? But she's information collecting. Maybe get enough questions together and take them all to a god. Maybe ]

I'd like to know what your experience was like arriving here. From the amount of people that have mentioned feeling sick after arriving it's clear that something has changed. Is there anything specific that you remember? Has anyone reported similar experiences before?

[ The sickness. Drowning. Seeing the sight of burning cities... people. She's felt it all, remembers it. And now she's hearing things - cries, feeling emotion that she knows she isn't feeling herself. What is it? ]

Has anything out of the ordinary happened recently? Anything that could cause the change?

[ Out of the ordinary for war, anyway. She's been going over the information but there is a lot there. Any filling in would definitely be appreciated ]

It doesn't matter what it is, anything could be important.

I have arrived long ago and at the time, I didn't experience anything specific.

As for what have changed, I'd say this world has. Of late it become more unstable; in other words, it's slowly dying.

[brainsqueeze]

It might not just be this world that is.

[5thchild]

According to the gods, all worlds are at risk.

I have a memory of a burning city. I can't be certain that I saw it but I didn't have it before arriving here. There could be truth to it.

[ Text ]

[5thchild]

I have no reasons to doubt the gods regarding that. And so far, much of what happened has shown us this world is indeed collapsing, and that this one and ours are connected.

To discard the possibility of this world's death influencing our worlds is not very wise.

How many different worlds are we looking at?

[ Text ]

[5thchild]

It's hard to tell. If you read Loki's guide, they compare it all to a tree and each universe would be a leaf.

And there are many leafs. Hard to count, too.

[ Text ]

[brainsqueeze]

Essentially any possible existence whether or not people of that world are here to do anything about it.

Do you believe the explanation? That it's a tree?

[ Text ]

[5thchild]

yes, that is what they have claimed. And if their words are indeed true, it's a good analogy to compare it all to a tree.

However, I cannot be certain it is true. No one can. But are you willing to accept the risk that your world might be destroyed if it's true and you did not believe it?

War on Asgard could easily spill across to other worlds. Whether ours would be destroyed with it, or the war would move to it later doesn't matter. We can't just let the war go on.

[ Text ]

[5thchild]

That is also a possibility.

We already have the proof they can indeed reach our worlds somehow, either to pull us from them, or even to bring other things from there here.

[ Text ]

[brainsqueeze]

What other things? Anything that could help?

[ Text ]

[5thchild]

Sometimes to Asgard arrive more than people; creatures, beings may arrive as well. Some are dangerous, others not so much.

In any case, they are not part of this world. They are part of our worlds.

When was the last time this happened?

[ Text ]

[5thchild]

50 days ago, give or take. They were singing flowers that time around. They are still there, at the park, mostly.

[ Text ]

[brainsqueeze]

So it's not often at least. How many times has it happened?

[ Text ]

[5thchild]

Seven times, if I recall correctly. Me, and several other people, were killed during one of them.

[brainsqueeze]

The gods revived you?

[ Text ]

[5thchild]

Gods try to revive any traveler who dies in this world.

[ Text ]

[brainsqueeze]

How many have they been unable to save?

[ Text ]

[5thchild]

I can't tell you how many or if it ever happened.

I simply said "try to revive" because I also can't tell you for certain they revived everyone.

[brainsqueeze]

We can hope. Someone mentioned that one of the gods died. Odin's asleep now and something has changed, what happened then?

[ Text ]

[5thchild]

That happened some time ago. One of the gods sacrificed himself in order to tilt the tides of the war in the gods' favors. He was revived after, however, thanks to the travelers efforts joint with the gods' help.

[ Text ]

[brainsqueeze]

How soon after was he revived?

[ Text ]

[5thchild]

I can't be certain. There was much discussion about if the god should be revived or not, for getting it soul back was a very difficult and dangerous mission. So it didn't happen immediately.
