So. The universe.

Big place. [He smiled, though it almost looked like more of a smirk.] Huge place, really--even I haven't seen all of it. I might never see all of it, I doubt anyone can see all the universe.

Especially not now that I've really thought about it. Ever do that, just sit there and think about things? I do, all the time. Only with less 'sit there' and more 'run around being brilliant'. But that's not the point, this is the point. We're all from different worlds, all different parallel worlds with their own...their own everything, really. It's like someone photocopied the universe and stuck it up all over the place.

But what does that mean? Where do all of them cross, that's what I'm stuck on. What makes Johto special, what makes it the one point where so many endless universes--possibly all of everything that has ever existed or will ever exist--overlaps?

That is something that doesn't make sense. So I'm going to poke it with a stick until it does.

[He went to shut off the video, but his Abra tugged on the fabric of his jacket to stop him. There was a point to this call, remember?]

Ah, right. Nearly forgot, thank you for that, Adric.

Has anyone heard of a planet called 'Alternia'?

[The talk about parallel words piques England's interest, because it still sounds so bizarre, like one of America's pulp fiction books, but it might just be the closest to reality right now.]

I try not to think about it too much. It gets in the way of things.

[He looks shifty for a moment, while he tries to work out what a photocopier might be. The word is obvious but he wonders if it's one of those bits of technology he doesn't have yet.]

Never heard of Alternia though. It sounds like something from a science fiction book. It probably has robots and scandalously clad women on the cover.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

But it's brilliant, don't you think? All this space and all these worlds with so many different people in them?

...You know, I kind of liked the name. Alternia. Sounds kind of catchy. Well, sounds like 'alternate' which just makes me think whoever named that planet was having a laugh about all these universes.

[somanytosofew]

It seems rather... untidy to me. [And possibly threatening which he never takes well to.[ Can't deny that it is interesting though. The time differences are frustrating.

I never said it was a bad name, just that it sounds like it's from an American pulp fiction book. I'm not one to complain about women in steel brassieres.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

The name doesn't sound familiar.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Doesn't it? Ah, well. I was hoping to get in touch with some inhabitants, I'd heard they were around here.

[whimpering.livejournal.com]

[There's quite a bit of hesitation, but eventually...]

A... Alternia? N-no, I've never heard of anything like that.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

You haven't? Quite a shame, I heard there were some otherplanetary residents in Johto. I'd quite like to get in touch with them.

...Otherplanetary, is that a word? I'm not sure, but it should be. Well, it is now.

[psychunaut.livejournal.com]

...I've never heard of it - Alternia, I mean. It must be from another universe - or I just haven't heard of it.
But... you've got a pretty good way of looking at all these universes, y'know. After all, I've been thinking about everything for most of my stay here, but I haven't thought of it from that angle. [Maybe... Maybe...] Maybe if we discover the why, we'll discover the how!

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Well, I hadn't heard of it which in itself is a very telling thing. I'm told it's meant to be something almost like an alternate Earth.

That's possible. I've usually found that poking the 'why' until it gets quite cross with me usually leads to the 'how' of the whole thing.

[pluckapeach.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of Alternia, but it is a very pretty name.

[Video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? Alternia, quite the clever little thing. Never heard of a planet with a name like that, but I do like it.

[Hawk's not sure whether this guy is completely nuts or incredibly brilliant but either way he likes him. Maybe. It's refreshing, whatever it is.]

Is that the way you usually solve philosophical conundrums? Poke it with sticks?

[voice]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

[The answer would be an even amount of both, leaning towards one or the other depending on the day and if there are any fishsticks with custard around.]

That's exactly how I solve all my problems. Sometimes even with literal sticks.

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

Alternia?

Hnmm... no, I'm sorry. I can't say that I have.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

It's starting to seem like few people have. I'm sure someone around here knows-

-...oh hello there, you have pink hair.

[Big case of Attention Deficit OOH SHINY going on here.]

video.

[reveiller]

Ah, that must be some stick you're poking at it with. What if it explodes?

video.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've seen some pretty serious explosions in the past. I think I can manage.

[lunarbonds.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's the only place that can fit them all?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

But why take them in the first place? Last I looked, we were all fitting quite well in our own universes.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

[oh, he likes the way you phrased that.] I think you'll probably need a very special stick to figure that one out.

And I've never heard of it, sorry.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

I'll find one. Special stick for a special problem.

[Shrug.] Well. Rough luck, but I'll find someone.

video; late because i just...missed this entirely somehow.

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

[Most of what the Doctor said kind of made John's head spin, that last question though...]

I have heard of Alternia, yeah! A couple of my friends are from there, actually.

video; and i'm late because i fail 8D;;

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Are they really? What can you tell me about it?

[video] ffffffff, late

[0kwithalot.livejournal.com]

[Well, consider Aradia's curiosity piqued.]

That's an interesting way to look at it... How much of the universe have you gotten to see?

And as for your question, I have! I'm actually from Alternia myself.

[video] also late 8D;;

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Quite a bit. Certainly not all of it, and hardly a percentage of what's likely out there.

Are you really? Do you mind if I ask about it? I do love hearing about other worlds, and one like yours sounds fascinating.
