So how has coming to Milliways changed your character's view of the universe? Their own or the multi-verse in general?

For example, Ultimate Ben Grimm already knew his universe was ape sh&t insane but by seeing others within Milliways (especially that of Ellen and Fawkes), he decided the whole multi-verse is ape sh&t insane and takes a sort of comfort in this as it proves he isn't being targeted by the ASI. I'll tag in with my other pups once I get to work.

And May the Fourth be with you!

Well, Ellen for one has been firmly convinced that screwing around with events in the time frame of 1945-1950 produces alternate universes in which someone named Neil Armstrong becomes important and people develop tiny computers instead of atomic power. She views the vast majority of Earth-based universes as 'weird alternate universes' and her own as the original, because nobody thinks of their own universe as an alternate unless they're rather badly written. Given the sheer level of weirdness her world is prone to, this does not really surprise her.

Will has learned that he's stronger than he knows and suffering isn't something you have to just accept. Also that people in the future have odd ideas about how much you can change your life.

Charles has learned there are other mutants and if all those futures give hints then he will be able to make a difference.

William has found out the world is stranger than he ever thought and Ben Wade can charm anyone and seems to have charmed most of Milliways.

Moist has discovered that other worlds hold wonderful opportunities and a change of scenery doesn't really change Lady Margolotta.

Jane has learned that the world will change in amazing ways and in time she will be a known author.

The others haven't really learned anything that I can think of.

So finally to the rest of my pups...
616 Ben was really and continues to be unfazed by Milliways. It's hard to beat canon in weird worlds in his case. Same thing with Val and Mars really.

Julie has learned more about what it means to be a hero.

Thalia hasn't really seen much of other realities aside from conversations so she hasn't learned anything.

Kate Kane is still figuring things out and is still pretty new. The idea of other realities isn't anything new for her world though.

Raph's atheism has been harder to maintain now that he's met, and had the crap kicked out of him by, actual gods.

[kensei_geijutsuka]

It'd be hard to stay an atheist when you've had a god beat the crap out of you. =D

My Tavi was eleven when he stumbled in. As such he was astonished--for all of about an hour. After that it became entirely "Ooh shiny let's learn everything about all of them ever." Once he started growing up, he took comfort in the many places that work without furycrafting--but, uh, he's still on the "learn everything ever."

Lois... ahah. She's still not 100% convinced this isn't some recurring dream or hallucination (for which she will find a way to blame Clark). The thing that disturbs her most is everyone knowing more about her than she does, and her future, and what is going on argh.

Of my extra-credits these days, you get one very easy potential, a past pup, and the two consistent MM pups:

Henry Mills would be shocked, then totally take it in stride. After all, this might help prove his evil-spell theory somehow, and help break it!

Giles was disturbed to say the least--but he lived in Sunnydale, and his beloved library was the Hellmouth. Other dimensions? Feasible. Just shocking that this one wasn't trying to eat his face off.

Desiderius grew up knowing about it and sometimes playing in it. Nothing interesting.

Jason Lane... was surprised, and a little confused--but then he's got close ties to Superman, and alt universes are not unknown in the DCU. He got over it quick.

[bjornwilde]

Desiderius? Who's that?

[student_of_impossibility]

Tavi's son, a week old on the last page of canon.

[bjornwilde]

Ah...still need to finish that series. I've only read the first.

[student_of_impossibility]

Yes, yes you should. They get more and more awesome. Book six is easily my favorite, closely followed by book three. The rest it all depends on my mood which I love most.

But book six--the guy who runs my local gaming/sci-fi/fantasy store isn't fond of Alera, much prefers Dresden, and he read Alera six the night before it hit the shelves (he has that power, damn him). His words were "Other than one or two minor snags, the book is flawless."

Leela (eyeeyecaptain) hasn't been affected all that much. She's been to the end of the universe. Milliways is a step up from the crappy gas station souvenir shop in her universe.

Porthos (srspirate) ... actually, I think Porthos is still in denial about the place. Which is the most epic case of isolated PTSD ever (or complete mun fail, either/or). All he knows is there's a brothel and a bar that produces as much wine as he wants. The rest of it gets ignored. idek.

Grace Augustine (donthidemycigs) is, predictably, suspicious that the whole place isn't some elaborate psych-experiment constructed by the RDA. It's increased her drive to study everything and run extensive tests, Iiiii just haven't gotten around to it yet. See: complete mun fail.

Ray Carling (flickedmethevs), oddly, doesn't seem all that bothered by the idea at all. It could be due to his complete faith in the Guv, who both comes here and doesn't seem worried by it a bit; more likely, it's residual from his world. He doesn't think about it, doesn't obsess on what it means, pretty much ignores there being other worlds until out-and-out confronted with it, and even then he meets it with a sceptical eye-roll and a grunt of disdain for foreigners.

Renee Walker and Regina Mills have only been in the bar a small number of times, so they have yet to form real opinions on things. But believe you me, it will be INTERESTING when I play through the first few dozen plots I have planned. Plans I have plotted? Something. Same goes for Lily Bell and Zoë Washburne, who should be getting proper intros soon.

Late, but... Enzo has met Users. He has been transformed into matter, and visited worlds which operate on completely different physical principles (which is to say, they operate on physical principles, period). He knows that his reality is not only the norm, but apparently is decidedly abnormal. His horizons have been exploded.

I reiterate his six-word story:
One world just isn't enough anymore.

[havetubawilltravel]

Clementine's learned that elves and sprites exist, just like she believed when she was a teenager.

Juliet's learned to follow her lack of skepticism even more strongly.

Dixie's learned that the world's got many stages.

Annd Pinkie just thinks everything's shiny ;)
