Introduction
Where the time is always...
The people are there but not here...
And fate and love are found...
Hello there. If your reading this welcome... Welcome to Here. The current time is Always and the temperature is a mild nothing. Here is a strange place. It is a building or place that simply keeps going on and on. Every door and window every place or piece of wall is covered with a painting. So it's very easy to get lost. In Here there is no pain, aging, time, place, space, need for food air water. It's a strange and wonderful place. And your here simple because Here has decided to let you in. Back in your own realm or planet your loved ones will awake to find you in a deep sleep. But don't worry you wont age here... or there. Because really your no where until you decide where to be.
On your own home planet or realm well... Your really quite broken. Are you blind? Paralyzed? A mute? Deaf? Maybe your missing a limb or people simply think there's something wrong with you. Well that's why your Here. In Here you are just like anybody else not blind or mute or anything isn't that great? And guess what there's a bunch of other people here also. I bet your wondering whats the catch well.. There is none... Not really. Only a condition. Simple right? The condition is your only in Here for 30 days. And when those 30 days are up 3 things can happen. You can stay in Here forever YAY. You can go back home but end fixed and brandnew. Or you can simply fade from complete existence. How do you get the happy ending? Well there's no way to be sure.
Now that you know about Here... Let me tell you some more about Here. Here is a place that appears to be just a large series of mazes and rooms. There are no doors or windows only paintings. There is no night or day well there is but there's not. See Here is an endless place each painting is a room. Sometimes they lead to a place, time, day, memory... Sometimes they lead to some more Here. It's like one big endless maze. The paintings vary in allll sizes and shapes but don't worry i'm sure you can fit. Sense there are several of you there the first thing to do might be to identify which painting lead to more house like places and which ones simply lead to strange rooms. Make yourself comfortable cause after all your time here might never end. It's also good to note that once you enter a painting or place you can easily go out the same way you came from. (Note there is no night or day in here but you may still feel tired at times when you do that probably means its night in your own world)
Now let's talk about you. Not many people will know who you are. See the Here pulls people from all different worlds, realms, galaxy's and places. But the one thing to note is you all look somewhat humanoid. That's good right? Another plus is in Here no matter what language you originally speak each person will be able to understand you in there own. Awesome right? Well everything that's been said has been said are you ready? Good lets go.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 6 authors
"Actually now that I think about it, who cares where here brings people from. I just want an excuse to explore things I've never seen before. Imagine this we get a chance to see many things the people on our home worlds would only dream of seeing. " Daniel thought about something deeply. " Perhaps we should set up a painting to meet at in case we get split up? Or to meet up with each other to discuss things we found out, heck I could even make a place to write down our discoveries in case we find something we want to share with each other. It's too bad some of the things I wrote down were ruined and turned into a blob of ink. This is no time to be sad though, we should see what here has to offer to us. " Daniel ruffled his hair trying to get the bit of water that was in his hair out of it. He had some scissors so he cut off some of his hair that was bothering him. Daniel got out his Ipod, he was lucky he didn't bring it out in the water or else it would have been short circuited. He then put on his headphones and started listening to music with a smile on his face. He then remembered there were people next to him and offered to put his Ipod on speaker. " Do you guys want to listen to music too? "
And as if to break the subtle tension in the air, Eden came rocketing out of the picture and faceplanted the floor, a tiny ouch coming out of her. She got up quickly and began explaining her thoughts on Here and what the purpose of it was, going as far as to mention that she still wasn't sure was exactly wrong with Nathan. A perhaps not so subtle attention grabber. As she began drying out here hair, the other boy began to speak again. He asked Eden about her home world and, yet again, changed his mind about knowing. Not saying a word, Nathan listened as Eden and her new friend make plans for if they wanted to meet up again or they got separated. When Daniel offered them music, Nathan closed his eyes before he spoke. "Of all the dead age technology you could bring Here, you brought a pretty useless one," he muttered, not really giving an answer.
"My home planet is a terrible place... everyone judges each other by what flower they are... I'm just a sunflower... Nothing special they always said... And I could not even talk so they labeled me an idiot... I never learned to read or write or... or anything... All I ever got to do was watch other people fight the bugs and die... or I got to look as they judged me... I'm not sure what your past was like Nathan... But if you wanted I bet you could have a really good happy future." She softened and sighed heavily. "So do me a favor? Try and smile and lighten up because even when a forest burns down the trees and the world around is covered in ash... Someone has to be the stronger person and push through." She frowned again. "So stop being so hostile to other people who just want to find a tiny piece of hope to grow also.." She rung out her hair and started walking down the hallway. "Il... See you guys later maybe..."
Eden walked down the hall barefoot. Her fiery anger raged for awhile before slowly dimming down. She frowned upset with herself. Was she too harsh? Had she just snapped and ranted out of her own anger and sadness bottled up for years... Maybe it was that and actual anger? Probably... But maybe it would make Nathan stop looking at her like she was some airhead idiot. Eden wasn't stupid even if people called her that... She was just... Lonely, angry she could never do more. And a little frightened. She turned down the hall and kept walking. Her heart and mind felt like a fire that had been drowned then half sparked to life. She hated getting angry but... Sometimes she needed it? She stopped took a deep breath and exhaled. A smile gently formed on her lips. If she stayed positive and apologized later... Maybe things would be alright... But not now... For now she just needed... To walk. And so she did.
Nathan followed the trail that stuck to the air as he followed the route step for step, checking and double checking he was going the right way constantly. After a while he finally found her, wandering around blindly and apparently deep in thought. He waited a moment before speaking, thinking his words through carefully before he brought attention to himself. "I've never seen a forest. Not a real one anyway. In my home, trees are nothing but petrified hunks of dead matter poking out of the ground." He paused as he closed his eyes again and sighed before continuing, a hint of sorrow edging into his voice. "There was a war long before I was born. Before my father was born. Men and women tearing the world apart as they tried to take everything the world had to offer. In the end, they were all left dead and the world they wanted was broken." He began to pace around in a circle as he continued. "The land the war destroyed isn't able to handle even the simplest forms of life. Every acre of land that was even close to the damage struggles to handle grass. What crops we do plant, grow and harvest are only just barely worth the effort to get them... the seasons that they live through." His eyes opened again, an intense glint in them as his voice went cold again. "Long before I was even born, those seedlings were you mentioned were dead and gone. We never got a chance to regrow that forest. We just built homes atop the ash and pray that the wind doesn't blow them away." He suddenly stopped his tracks as his eyes fell to the floor as he spoke quietly. "Maybe you're right about one thing. I am negative. Maybe that's just because I've never seen any good in the world with my own eyes. But don't get me wrong." He pulled his head back up as he gave Eden an almost amused look as he shook his head. "You're still dead wrong about me. I'm not broken. Just a little damage."
It seems like the short time the two had spent apart was more than enough for Eden to get her spark back as she began to go on about bettering the world and one's self, ever the optimist. Though he kept his eyes steady, Nathan was frowning under the mask. Not because he was bothered by her continuing attempts to make him feel better but how wrong she was about so much of it. Even if Nathan had the will to change the world for the better, he knew that he didn't have the time to make any of it a reality. Eden still assumed he'd simply been injured or crippled in some way like her and the others. She didn't know that his burden in his own world was that he was dying. Somehow her not knowing made the words cut all the deeper. Luckily she managed to break out of her surprisingly dark speech with an utterly silly note as she pointed out his mask. Nathan lightly held onto one of the nozzles and tugged it lightly. "It's a gas mask. During the war people used a lot of bizarre weapons. Poisons transferred through the air was just one way. I scaveneged it when it was younger and I..." There was the briefest of pauses before Nathan finished his sentence. "I'd been needing it for the last few days before I arrived Here." The illness that had been - and was technically still in some way or another - eating away at him had been quick to do a number on his immune system. The mask had been there just so that he couldn't breathe something very common that would end up killing him. Of course he didn't need it Here. Or at least not for the same reasons....
Daniel quickly went back to the room he originally started in running past the two conversing quickly. "Sorry, I just thought of something intelligent and fun. " Daniel saw that he forgot to take his backpack that he was wearing on him when he came here. He quickly went into it looking to see if the stuff he left there would still be there. "Let's see, a flashlight, lighter, wire, tools, pencils, time capsule, seeds, and a pick. " Daniel went into his notebook to write down an idea he had. " Ok so I might be able to see what sense of time here has. " Daniel thought about asking the boy or girl for help, but he thought better of it. He then looked for paintings that looked to be the same but from a different time frame. He then stuck a piece of paper into the ground and went to the second one to see if it had any effect. "No effect, perhaps this painting is the later one?" He then tried the same experiment reversed. "Nothing new, perhaps here repairs any changed done to the inside of paintings? If it does then that gives me an infinite amount of material to work with, I'll have to ask someone with experience about it." Daniel returned to the painting of the jellyfish just sitting against the wall having another one of his shizophranic hallucinations. " Crap, can't let on that I'm seeing things again. " Daniel tried to keep his cool and closed his eyes. Ignoring his recent hallucination he thought of something. " If this kid is from the future of my planet then perhaps I can setup a laboratory that runs off of solar panel or biological waste and gases. Then I might be able to make his world run off of a clean and efficient energy. Or I might be able to put myself in a cryogenic state and meet him in the future and perhaps help him rebuild his society, I shouldn't get his hopes up though. I still don't understand how this world works. " Daniel decided to just daydream for the rest of the time unless someone wanted to speak with him. He then felt himself able to move in his homeworld.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What?" He thought to himself. "Was that a dream all along?" Daniel looked at his watch impossible this can't be part of the world he was just in. He then pinched himself. It hurt, so he wasn't in the strange world anymore. How could he have come up with the dream? He barely knows anything about the species he encountered. Maybe if he did enough research he could figure out what was happening. Daniel quickly lost consciousness in his homeworld.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daniel then opened his eyes in "Here" and noticed what he just experienced was nothing more then a daydream or so he thought. " So this must be reality then, crap I hope I can get back to my normal world soon."
