If everyone from one universe disappears almost at the same time but one person, what does it mean?

[ prax has been feeling a lot steadier as of late, but this is throwing him. how can he be the only one left? where did the others go and is it a good thing they're gone or a bad thing? ]

Difficult to say. Poor luck, perhaps.

Know that you are not the only one in such a circumstance, at the very least. It is something I have been processing as well.

But you are not alone.

[contorta]

I didn't know there'd been more people from your world.

[ but then, he doesn't know alucard. not really. ] I'm sorry.

I hope [ the breath he takes is probably audible. ] that it's just bad luck. That they're back home and all right.

Yep.

[Peter's gone. Ricki is aching.]

Meet for a drink?

[contorta]

I don't know if I would be good company.

[ they say misery loves company, but prax isn't sure. besides, there's - he's changed into something between tree and man. after his conversation with jasnah, he worries how others will perceive him now. ]

[rickitikitarr]

Me neither. And I suppose that sound makes me rather lousy company right now.

[contorta]

Who left that was from your world?

[rickitikitarr]

Peter Guillam. The spy.

The graceful one. Tall fellow.

[contorta]

I don't think I've met him.

[rickitikitarr]

You missed a great chance. He's spectacular. And now I'm fairly sure we're all doomed- or maybe I'm just used to him shaking me out of my self-pity.

[contorta]

I don't think I can help you with that. The self-pity, I mean. If that's even what it is.

[ right now, he's pretty much right there with ricki ]
