Idou waves a hand in front of his face, as if waving away a bad smell. "I really don't understand all this timeline stuff..."

"Really, it's a way of saying 'This universe looks a lot like ours, only different.'"

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"I barely understand it myself, but if one thing can be said, at least the worlds most similar to mine never had to use or invent the Hero System, a thing I'm thankful for."

[Sl4cker]

"...Why?"

[mcclay]

"Fucks a cellphone? Sounds dumb as shit."

[hector13]

"Fucks a cellphone? Sounds dumb as shit."

"You'd like it, as a mercenary. It allows someone to communicate with you, wherever you are, by connecting to the cell phone.

I have something else which is a little better because it's much more private, but works in more or less the same way."

"Huh. My fucking world needs to get its shit together then. My mage can do that but with birds and it takes a shitload of time."

[crazyabe]

"I had a cell phone, But I didn't have any signal on my home world, So I got a 'Universal' plan."

"Well, it's still limited to the speed of light, and then maybe wormholes or some sort of weird quantum trickery could... Later, when the planet's not liable to explode."

"...Why?"

Mio turns to Idou, with a serious expression on her face.
"In our world, the year of two-thousand and fifteen was the last year we count as Before Shinju Era.

This is because, in our world, a cataclysm befell us during that very year; creatures called Vertex, almost incomprehensible abominations, turned our world into a literal burning hell. They descended upon our world, and killed almost everything, and everyone, they could find. Had they succeeded, the entire Earth would have been rendered into nothing.

The Shinju I refer to are our gods, who came down in our time of need and formed barriers around certain places around the world, protecting them from the Vertex with their very bodies. It is to them we owe our lives, and to them we pledge our allegiance. This has been the way it has been for seven centuries.

Our gods need help to protect our world from the Vertex, and so the Hero System was created, in order to turn people like myself into Heroes to protect everyone, and help repel them from what little safe havens remain. And we've claimed back parts of our world, but not all of it- so there is work to be done.

But, I think, we'll do it eventually."

Alan blanches.
"Holy flying skeletal CARP.  Apocalypse Earth, check...D'you have a datestamp on that?"

Alan facepalms.

"If you do that much more, ye'll Leave a hand shaped print on ye face."

"Holy flying skeletal CARP.  Apocalypse Earth, check...D'you have a datestamp on that?"

"What do you mean? I did say the 'year two-thousand fifteen'...."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Month?  Day?  I don't know.  I'm irrationally worried about my timeline's immediate future."

[crazyabe]

"What do you mean? I did say the 'year two-thousand fifteen'...."

"I think he means month and day, not just year, Still its good to know when things will happen."
