Vol. 1 #104 -- [Voice]

Ugh, I never know how to start one of these things.

Is um. Is anyone familiar at all with a robot by the name of Robo-ky? I fixed him up recently and well, I'm not exactly a robot expert, but I think I did okay. If anyone who is more knowledgeable could take a look at him just to be safe though, I'd appreciate it. [...] As a warning, he can be a little hard to deal with so keep that in mind.

...

Actually, while I got this up. Have any of you guys ever noticed how obsolete the journal system is? It looks technologically advanced sure, but as far as a socialized network goes, there were far better ones back where I'm from. What are you supposed to do if someone is harassing you with dozens of filtered messages? Go over to them and beat them to a pulp? Put a paperweight on the journal and hope they go away? There's no way to block communications with a single person.

....and there isn't a precautionary measure put forth for this kind of thing is there? Is everything in this village ran by ear?

[...]

If I start gettin' filtered messages about a treasure in Nigeria, I know who I'm blamin'.

Well... at least it would be a nice momento of back home right? [Right? =Dd]

I ain't really interested in those kinda enhancements.

[Oh-ho-ho, see what she did there?

Also, how very seriously she is taking this topic? Don't be fooled, that could change in a minute. Snark is just the X-Man way.]

[You... did NOT just... Ugh.]

You-- ... did you really just say that? [WHY! Whyyyyy.]

[Pfff. She smirks at the journal, almost laughing.] You're the one who wanted ta be reminded of home.

Yeah... I think I'm starting to regret saying that now. [Sigh...]

[And then Rogue lets it drop.]

If there isn't any way to filter your journal away from someone sending you messages, then people should show it to someone they trust. That sort of thing shouldn't happen, especially in a small town like this.

[If only Bruce was better with jooookes.]

It shouldn't. And it probably won't, but figured it'd be something to at least keep in mind. I'm going to try to see if it's possible though. Although I'm not used to dealing with a system quite this... unique. [As in no REAL technology attached. Most/all magic.]

[She smiles a little.] Let me know how it works out, huh?

Yeah, sure. Hopefully I can even make progress with this thing.

Hey, so. Tony Stark. He's not the Tony Stark from your world either?

[The tentative opening up of a quasi-serious and possibly personal dialogue? Will wonders never cease. Apparently the fact that you knew Logan means something to this girl.]

[Geez Rogue that filter SUCKED. How long have you been here again? =|a]

Afraid not. He acts and sounds a little different from the one in my world. [Though he never met him PERSONALLY, but if he were to go off news articles and television...] He... also doesn't seem to be aware of any other heroes from my world.

[Well if the whole him not knowing Hulk is any indication of that. He really doesn't want to play a thousand questions with the guy.]

[She just doesn't care that much, okay?]

So that's... four, no five, different versions of our Earth.

[Isn't that a little weird?]

Isn't that a little... weird?

Sounds about right...

Yeah. It is weird. And it's not something that seems to happen in Luceti very often. Rarely does it pull people from different dimensions. Different times maybe... [And then there's a pause here.] It seems like genetic mutation isn't the only thing that makes our worlds unique.

Hmm.

[...oh, what the heck. She'd already made the snap call of talking to him, may as well go for more.]

There was another version of me here before too. So that's six.

...seriously?

[Oh wait. Rudeness. Right. Sorry he's just finding this all so scientifically intriguing.]

Uh, anyway. It seems like The Butterfly Effect is something that is a common theme in our world. Have you ever noticed that despite all of our dimensions being different, the same people appear to exist in each one?

I'm not exactly sure, but... as far as our worlds are concerned, this all seems like a sort of... natural occurrence. [So natural that Luceti might can't even tell what's supposed to be the "main" universe.]

[She follows that as best she can and then just... shakes her head.]

Yeah, I noticed that. [Hello, young!Charles.]

Ya don't think it's... hurtin' our worlds any, do you? Us being here?

Well the people here don't seem to think so. From what I've heard time just freeezes back home when we return so there's really nothing to worry about.

...

But what do you think?

I think you'd be better off askin' Dr. McCoy.

[It's a very passable attempt at not being concerned. But when it comes to things trying to destroy the world? Rogue's turned into a pessimist.]

[Wait... who? Ah, nevermind.]

Well if I was going to give my personal opinion on the matter... I think it's something we're not being told. You can't just take hundreds of people from different worlds and universes and not have consequences.

Then again, it's not exactly something we can do anything about right now anyway so, it's probably best not to worry about it.

Yeah? Then what exactly should we worry about?

[Considering she's been here for what seems like FOREVER and no one seems to be able to do much of anything anyway.]

[He was just trying to help you feel better geez. =|]

The same thing we've been worrying about since the beginning: the barrier. Finding a way through that is the main thing that matters. [Oh and a MILLION other things he won't go into details with over the network.]

Oh goodie.

[She's pretty sure that even if her power would work on the barrier, she'd never be able to absorb that much energy and live.

...huh, might be worth a try after all.]

I'm sorry. I wish I could offer more than just that but--

[Oh what the heck he could at least hint at one of his theories here.]

...

Okay... there might be a direct way of escaping. But to do that I would need someone with very specific powers.

[Ping.]

What kind of powers?
