It's odd the way people come and go from this place. Oftentimes, it doesn't even seem to be of their own will. I've noticed that when someone suddenly stops being able to access the community, they disappear from their home worlds, as well- it's a bizarre phenomenon, and I don't like it. If I were to suddenly disappear from my world, there's no telling what sort of chaos and anarchy would descend upon it. And there are other people that I don't want to disappear, either. It would be a complete disaster.

Those who have left do occasionally return, at least, though it seems to come with a price- except for a few rare cases, they return with their memories completely wiped of any and all time spent here. All that experience, and knowledge gained... lost, forever. The thought is almost disorienting.

I wonder if there's a definite way to prevent this from happening.

Aw. I promise, I won't ever leave. You can stop worrying.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

That wasn't the point of this entry.

[sunao-punch.livejournal.com]

Of course it was! You're worried that I'll leave and forget all about you.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You're delusional.

[sunao-punch.livejournal.com]

You're just too shy to admit it~

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Go away.

[sunao-punch.livejournal.com]

I can see you're very embarrased that I figured it out. I guess I'll leave you alone, while you try to get over this.

[pandorabox]

... I wouldn't like that either.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

At least you're not important on your world.

[pandorabox]

...

See? I try to be nice to you and you act completely rude! Geez!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I was simply stating a fact.

[pandorabox]

In a rude way.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Fine, then.

"With all due respect, while your concerns may be passably valid, mine are of much greater concern considering my status."

Better?

My understanding was that it just wiped memories. If something as unpredictable as this community has the power to potentially erase someone completely from existence...

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

They certainly don't just disappear from the community- people from their home worlds wonder where they are, as well. I believe there was a case a month or so ago where someone with the ability to "sense" the presence of the missing person at all times suddenly lost track of him entirely, as if he didn't exist at all.

[oceanicbutterfly]

It might be that it happens in different ways sometimes. I know Nozomi hasn't disappeared, even though she hasn't come back since that one time.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Well, that was different, wasn't it? She wasn't actually here.

Besides, the fact that it "might not happen" doesn't change the fact that it still might.

[oceanicbutterfly]

...how so?

But it might be that it depends entirely on the person in question. If the possibility doesn't actually exist at all, there's no sense in worrying about it. You can't really tell without more information.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She only came once. She never had a journal. If a virus had been going on, it's likely that she would have been immune, because they only seem to affect people who are active participants of the community.

Perhaps. Perhaps not. We really have no way of telling whether the possibility exists or not.

... And I'm certainly not worrying about anything.

How have you verified that beings actually do vanish?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Those from their world verify it.

[createdpower.livejournal.com]

Interesting. Who disappeared, and who can attest to it?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I don't remember their names. I've just seen people talking about it.

[createdpower.livejournal.com]

I see.

What lead you to believe that his or her disappearance is related to the community?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Because it's happened more than once, much in the same way each time.
