[Early December]

[ghostharasser]

If I had a nickel for every time I've woken up at the end of the month with a full set of memories from another version of me that's just a little to the left


I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, I guess, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

[ She frowns at him. Cosmos? Planet? Universe? 'Planet' is... the world, if she remembers the translation properly. 'Universe' seems familiar, but...

She shakes her head. ]

I'm afraid you've lost me.

[ghostharasser]

Oh.

[He assumed wrong! Welp!! That's what he gets for assuming!!]

[He pauses for a second and then snaps his fingers.]

Okay, let's try this at another angle. Does your world have a concept like the spirit world? Or maybe the land of faeries? Or maybe even just the concept of The Veil.

[alphacraft]

[ Okay, she's read enough fairy tales that she's more familiar with the concept of faeries than anyone raised in Ka Bue has any reason to be. ]

In some cultures, yes.

[A starting point, awesome, Dipper can work with this. He grabs a clean sheet of paper from ??? somewhere on the table and starts to draw up a diagram. It's a circle labeled world and another circle labeled "Spirit/Fae" and then he draws a line between them.]

So, the idea is that these worlds are totally separate, yet still thinly connected through the veil. You can't travel to them easily and they exist on top of each other while not being able to see them, right? In some cultures they're even considered mirrors of each other.

[He draws again, this time a circle, and then another circle, and then another circle, and he draws lines between them all.]

So, the idea is that there are more worlds than just the one you know and the spirit world. There are in fact, a near infinite amount of these worlds coexisting beyond the veil. Some of them are super similar to the world you know, where the difference could be a world where your favorite cookie is different, to being so different that everyone in the world is a cookie. Do you still follow me?

Infinite worlds...

[ She's staring at the drawing as if looking through it, gears turning and thoughts arranging themselves in her head. ]

Infinite possibilities. All connected... by what?

[ The idea of the Veil is pretty limited. There are only two sides. ]

[ghostharasser]

That's what we call the Multiverse.

[Dipper's drawing of a circle and a line and a circle, and a line becomes a grid of lines and circles. He taps those thin lines dividing everything up.]

Think of it as an In-Between realm that thinly connects to each world. This is what my Uncle got lost in for thirty years. It's also where I posit places like this world might exist, as nexus points that sometimes draw in people from other worlds.

You don't think this is a world unto itself?
