You're welcome! Read what wrong? I thought you just wouldn't have heard of her before and would want to know.

I guess I just interpreted the sentence wrongly. It just needed to be explained to me differently, that's all.

Eeee! Thank you!
Oh man I want to give Hadassah a hug. She has to put up with so much shit and she's so calm about it!

I’d wanted Andrew to do an introduction post and a magic post for a while. Then I read about how Andrew forgot to warn Leaf about the language thing, and I realized I needed to put that in the magic post.
If this isn’t outweighed by the infosec thoughts (Andrew was careful! He just didn’t realize how much people would be able to pull out of thin air!), what is Leaf’s reaction to finally being told about daeva getting languages?

I'm rather new to RPing (although I've lurked quite a bit around various communities for a while), and as such wanted to introduce myself OOC first.
The character I'm thinking of does not (initially) believe that the forum really allows them to talk to other worlds (and there are no other intelligent species they know of). Would this be OK?
Are there any other guidelines/suggestions about RPing on the board that I should know?

Welcome to the forum! That should be fine, Nik-ka, there have yet to be established rules on any sort of character limitations, and that sounds like it would be fun.
The closest thing we have to a solid rule is that we recommend everyone change their avatar from the default, just so we can tell people apart.

Leaf's reaction is somewhat muted by the fact that he already hit this revelation (so to speak) with Cam - he just sort of went "well, it sure would've been useful if you'd told me that ahead of time".

So yeah, "the keeper" is young admin. She doesn't call herself "an administrator" yet! She has nothing in her domain but air and rock with a flat horizontal boundary between them! She isn't overwhelmingly fed up with people complaining at her yet!

I didn’t realize that the admin used to be alive and used to have a name and all that stuff!
Was the first question about her domain in general or about the forum in particular? If the forum was already connected to her domain before she was, she might not yet realize those two places are fundamentally separate.

Oh, she's been in her domain for centuries already, or she wouldn't have figured out air and rock and gravity yet.

A couple of possible events I'm not going to do unilaterally: The Foundation should really have shut down QDS by now, because they are going around handing out plane shift to people like Gabrael. Or anyone else. They should probably have already teleported in to stop them by force, then went all "anyone with interdimensional travel want to find out what happened to QDS?" But I'm not about to just announce that they've done that. The other thing is, if they want to verify that these are definitely real alternate universes without relying on Dungeon magic, on of the obvious/reliable ways to do that is SCP-1985. A side effect of that method is finding out a possible apocalypse for the universe they visit. So if they try priming 1985 with what they know about Haywire, they'd acquire certain plot-important information. Or if they try sending her to the keeper's world, it doesn't work because there's no apocalypse possible. They'd eventually conclude that there is no such universe. If anyone wants their universe to be tested this way, tell me out-of-character and the Foundation will pick that one to try. Probable results are a warning about something that could end up destroying the world, so, only interesting if your character doesn't already know about it.

Andrew already knows about the most likely apocalypse scenario for his world.
What would happen if the Foundation tried sending 1985 to a world without an Earth? Since 1985 has always appeared near the Earth’s crust, they might conclude that the failure to work in the keeper’s domain might be because there’s no Earth.

How would they get to Dungeon?

"Or if they try sending her to the keeper's world, it doesn't work because there's no apocalypse possible. They'd eventually conclude that there is no such universe."
...What, as opposed to concluding that based on the keeper's statements about her world, it's at the very least highly unlikely for her world to ever enter a 1985-compatible state? XD

I assume they would gate to Dungeon. And I think they might also get the keeper’s original world, which does have an Earth; can priming partially work, or does she go somewhere random of priming doesn’t completely work?
