      @saigayatrivemuri9034 7 лет назад +217

      Yes. Although it's legal, I was still visited by the Sheriff's Secret Police for interrogation. Naturally, each time they arrived I simply returned in time and left before they arrived. However, I accidentally created some kind of quantum disturbance. I now exist only as a RUclips account, formless, composed of electrical signals on a server, only a memory of what I used to be.

And stumbling again away.

    • @thejasminedragonmerchant6843
      @thejasminedragonmerchant6843 9 лет назад +42

      The Fear Channel I'm guessing they either get stopped by the secret police and end up reprogrammed/thrown in jail/thrown into the pit in the Nightvale zoo for sensory deprivation experimentation/sent to the Dog Park OR one more of the abovementioned....
      Or maybe all the roads leading out of Nightvale lead back IN to Nightvale, so you can never really leave (which might explain why Cecil's trip through Europe was through palces that don't appear to actually exist. He coul've been given false memories by the City Council).
      Or perhaps they get transported through a portal when approaching the Wastelands, and end up in another alternate dimension.....
      No, wait, that's not it. They'd just get transported to Desert Bluffs.

      "Hey, Julia and I were gonna go to the library and we wanted to know if you wanted to come? ...hello? Sarah?"
      Meanwhile Sarah is rocking back and forth in the corner trying to unsee whatever horrific vision of a librarian entered her mind.

      I was thinking the same thing. He acknowledged that _one_ mountain existed, but said it was possibly man-made and doubted the existence of _multiple_ mountains. Yet here, when he says "a mountain top" rather than "the mountain top", the implication is that there is more than one mountain!

    I beg to differ - true nostalgia IS for the person you once were - younger, with all senses yet to be desensitized - more vibrant, with so much strength to fight the battles ahead - actual and imagined.... No, I only feel nostagia for what I once was. Roads not taken can keep themselves trimmed and litter-free without my help.But then, *I* wasn't lucky enough to get a "Continental Tourr" - I just sat at my parents' & played FF7 for three days after I graduated.
