Obviously we've all been pulled in from different worlds. Or different points in time, I guess, for some of you, and I've been wondering, where is everyone else from? What's your world like? That sort of thing.

[Infirmary Filter]

My name's Will Parry, and I've volunteered to assist in the infirmary with the rest of you. So, who else is working here,

Ordered.

[Not this non-Euclidean insanity Users call a real world. :c]

[becauseheswill]

So, structured?

[ifightfor]

The Grid was created using known rules; rules maintain order. Disturbances to the System are eliminated to perfect it.

[becauseheswill]

I'm not familiar with the Grid.

You know, I've never had to explain the modern world. We've got all the perks, I guess. Internet. Indoor plumbing. Electricity. It's pretty easy, for most people.

[becauseheswill]

What year are you from?

[worstsongever]

2010. You?

[becauseheswill]

2001. I guess you've probably got a decent leg up on technology.

[thegooddrjones]

My world's like the modern world you've heard of, only we've got the Doctor and aliens there.

[becauseheswill]

The Doctor? As in, The Doctor?

[thegooddrjones]

Yes. I'm guessing you've got the show then?

[becauseheswill]

Yeah. I didn't exactly watch it, but everyone knows Doctor Who.

Oh Heroes. xD

[becauseheswill]

Is there anything unique about where you're from? In coming here, what's the biggest difference between your world and someone else's?

Does it involve a complicated math equation? xD

[becauseheswill]

So, like, American comic book characters? Superman and things like that?

[jurisfictional]

My world seems slightly different from most of the ones I've heard about here. Early twenty-first century, computers and cell phones and all of that, but we preferred airships to planes until the very end of the last century.

And England's a republic. It appears to be a monarchy in most of the other worlds represented here--correct me if I'm wrong.

[becauseheswill]

Well, in my world, there is a Queen, but she doesn't exactly run the country anymore, and hasn't for a while. Most of the governmental stuff is handled by Parliament and the Prime Minister.

[jurisfictional]

So a nominal monarchy, then. Is the United Kingdom still--united, for lack of a better word?

[becauseheswill]

Yes. What happened to it where you're from?
