What about universal wear and tear? Kind of like how jeans get holes in them after a while?

[convents]

Wear and tear from what, though? There's no cause without an effect. Jeans get holes from being worn, from the things people do while wearing them. What — you ask yourself — has the universe been through to cause this kind of wear and tear?

[ he misses fred. fred would understand the physics part of this. angel just gets the mystical, the theoretical almost physics but not quite. ]

[ There's a pause as he considers this seriously for a moment. ]

Well, I'm not a quantum physicist. But say there isn't just one universe.

If there's more than one universe maybe they happen to exist next to each other. Maybe they even move. Things wear away from erosion, so maybe the holes are just part of the natural erosion of the worlds moving against each other. Eventually they move too much and then things fall into each other and they usually eventually wind up in the world where I'm from.

I know there isn't. I've been to a few of the others. Not all of them are as pretty as ours — if you're from Earth, I don't want to assume. My next question was going to be which one do you think this is? Not all alternate realities pass through the same interconnecting revolving door. Sometimes the book is out of batteries and you need to find another hotspot.

I'm from a Earth. Chicago, actually. And I honestly have no idea which one this is, but it's definitely a hub of some kind.

My world isn't really a hub. It's more of a lost and found box. People fall through holes and they somehow wind up there.

[ THE BOOK WAS OUT OF BATTERIES caritas was broken. they had to use his car. it was a thing. a thing he doesn't want to do again, but is pretty sure he's already doing again. ]

I'm from Los Angeles. Not originally, but I don't think any of our originallys count for a place like this. Might just be a lost and found box like your Chicago, but with a smaller box.

[undermyfeet]

Maybe. It's kind of weird to be bouncing from one lost and found to another. And usually when they come to ours they can't go back.

We can go back and forth here.

Means there's a wedge in the door. Lucky us.

[undermyfeet]

There's a wedge in a lot of doors then. There are a lot of different worlds here.
