You know, when you sign up for a blog or journal-type website, aren't you supposed to be able to choose your username?

Or for that matter - the actual website you sign up to? Well, it seems like I can't delete this account, so I might as well use it.

So, let met pose a question. Who here believes in aliens, time travelers, espers, or sliders?

[croibhristeoir]

I'm not sure I know what an esper or a slider is, but I think I could believe in quite a lot.

[facepalms]

And why is that?

[material_guy]

What's a slider?

[facepalms]

slider, n. "humans who jump through different dimensions".

At least, that's the online definition for them.

[darklycharming]

There are many things that exist that people don't believe in. Does it matter more that they believe or that these things exist?

[facepalms]

Both, I guess.

Some people can believe in things that they haven't exactly seen.

[sandinmyboots]

...I'm pretty sure there's at least one time-traveling, dimension-hopping alien psychic running around. Who is also a ghost.

[ARADIA...]

[facepalms]

You're kidding, right?

[sosbrigade]

KYON, YOUR FIRST POST IS TERRIBLE.

[facepalms]

Who said it had to be any good?!

[pinkishgray]

Depends on how you'd define belief, I'd say. For instance, can you believe in gravity?

[facepalms]

I believe there's gravity on Earth, yeah.

[brokethecamera]

I'm not really sure what a slider is, but after being here long enough I'd say any of those things are possible.

[facepalms]

'Being here long enough'?

Does that mean that this website is, well, different?

[mayonaka_idol]

I do now. There's tons of that stuff on here!

Welcome to the community. I'm Rise Kujikawa!

[facepalms]

Thanks, I guess.

... Just call me Kyon.

[philoxidizes]

You're late, Kyon-kun.

[facepalms]

I'm not the latest though, am I?

[stapitsenpai]

That was a really boring intro... aside from the aliens part.

[facepalms]

Guess I'll have to try to do better next time.

[cattish]

[this girl sure does look about ten years old!!! also she is staring at him a little bit too intensely for it to be normal.]

And what if I do believe in those things?

[ text ]

[facepalms]

I won't judge you for it. It's not my right to do that sort of thing.

[ video ]

[tenminutes]

All of the above and then some. This place opens you up to a lot of possibilities you never thought were even an option.

[ video ]

[facepalms]

Guess I'm about to be dragged into a new sort of 'supernatural'.

[ text ] of course you post this just when I can't tag with ange since she's dead!!

[selfished]

Idk, this place likes picking them out for us, do you hate yours that much?

And I don't particularly believe in any of that crap.

[ but she does believe in magical girls. :)) ]

[ text ]

[facepalms]

Not really, but I'd rather pick my own username.

[ifbymyhands]

Most of us, really!

[facepalms]

You're kidding, right?

[makewayforroze]

I'm not sure what some of them are but they may be some here.

[facepalms]

Yeah, I figured.

[masked_god]

Why believe in them when you know them to be real?

[facepalms]

Because some people can believe in them and have never seen them.

[precursorstone_gun_nest]

Okay, let's see...

- I've fought aliens. Sort of am an alien, if you're from Earth, I guess.
- Am a time traveler. Both directions.
- Don't know what an esper is.
- Don't believe in sliders. Burgers are supposed to be bigger than that.

[... That last one may or may not be a joke.]

[facepalms]

I've never tried a slider.

And the definition of an esper is, according to Wikipedia, at least: "An esper refers to an individual capable of telepathy and other similar paranormal abilities."

[oceanicbutterfly]

I'm a magical girl. I realize that isn't on your list, but it seemed relevant.

[facepalms]

A magical girl.

Like on those shoujo anime?

[amomentofsympathy]

I think you'll find that a lot of people--in this community, at least, believe in a great deal of these things. Even if they hadn't before showing up here.

[facepalms]

I see.

[whitechocolate]

I'm totally a believer.

[facepalms]

Of all of them?
