To: All Summoned

[itookashot]

This is the most important question I've had since coming here. I need to get opinions from the rest of you, for science.

Why are all of the Summoned attractive? I have not met a single ugly Summoned and while I do love looking at your gorgeous faces, it seems unusual. Is there an attractiveness requirement? Do they take that into consideration when plucking us out of our universes? Could there be deeper reasons or do they think 'well if they don't help us out, at least they up the beauty curve of our world from a four to a seven'?

I mean, that's what I would do, but I'm interested in other thoughts. Please do not respond to this with false modesty; I know you're pretty, you know you're pretty, this is serious. Unless one of you truly thinks you are unattractive in which case show me a picture if you can and I'll tell you why you're wrong.

I wonder how it is they know before they pull us through.

[itookashot]

I don't know. It's magic. I know they're capable of bringing people here who have died, that's fairly impressive.

[chosenfordarkness]

Have they really?? That is..quite the valuable skill. You have to wonder what it takes to learn such a thing.

[itookashot]

Yeah, my friend is dead back home, and he was here. My guess is they pick a timepoint rather than from the afterlife, but I don't know for sure. Could be more than that.

[chosenfordarkness]

You know, putting it that way, it does make more sense than going through the trouble of bringing someone back. Just pluck them from before so they don't have to deal with the mess.

[itookashot]

Yeah so maybe not the power of resurrection, otherwise I assume no one would ever die here, but it's still an impressive spell, pulling through time and space and all. Far beyond any magic I've seen.

[chosenfordarkness]

It makes you wonder though, doesn't it? If they can pull us from our respective places, what else can they do?

Yeah, you're telling me. You're getting back missing time with your dead friend and I met my grandson. Not quite the same, but still absurd.

[itookashot]

Apparently not demolish one another yet.

What? You're old enough to be a grandfather? I don't know why but I didn't see that coming.

[chosenfordarkness]

I'm barely old enough to be a father! I only just found out about that part the day before I got here.

[itookashot]

Okay two things.

1. Yikes, I guess that would prove the time theory.

2. Also are you sure he's not lying?

[chosenfordarkness]

1. yeah, weird is definitely a word.

2. I'm positive.

[itookashot]

Surprise you're a daddy and a granddaddy. Congratulations?

[chosenfordarkness]

I'll be honest, the second one came as more of a surprise than the first?

[itookashot]

Well yeah, if you knew you might've been a dad soon that would make sense. Saints, I really hope I don't turn around and have a sudden kid.

[chosenfordarkness]

That was definitely a no, but I don't really think that far into the future?

Is it a possibility? It could be cool?

[itookashot]

It's unlikely since I have a boyfriend, but who knows in the future, I get around.

[ Literally no shame about being a player, he's proud of it! ]

[ Are you glad? Is he a decent sort at least? ]

[chosenfordarkness]

[ Hey man, whatever floats your boat, there's no judgment. ]

I mean nobody said they had to be biological, right? Sometimes you just end up adopting people.

whoops that second part was supposed to be actual text damn you dee

[itookashot]

Oh sure, my whole gang is more or less family.

So what's your grandkid like? A chip off the granddaddy block?

lol it's all good!

[chosenfordarkness]

Honestly? I don't see much of myself in him physically, but I can find it in other ways. We're still getting to know one another.

[itookashot]

Genetics can be like that. I don't look a thing like my father, outside of the eyes. Mum's blood ran a little stronger.
