Quote:I'm still trying to figure out general information about the whatever-you-call-it-verse as a whole. A lot of it, for obvious reasons, is inconsistent. I mean, take the Event. As far as I know, Twister's the only individual known to have interacted with it. And almost every story has its own means for travel between universes. Twister used magic, I believe, with botched demon summonings involved, Douglas Sangnoir has his magegift, the cast of The Number of the Beast used...er, whatever-the-technique-was-called...and I can't think of ANY story that's used the caveat mentioned in Sailor Moon Expanded, involving travelers taking on traits from the universes they go to.Yes, it's taken me more than a year to notice and respond to this query by Shay Guy...
Yes, interacting with the Event is unique to Twister's stories, but the "space" in which it resides shows up in several -- besides his own, of course. Fenris from "Wolf In Crisis" finds himself in a white void during his transition between universes, and actually spots Darlene and Ryoga's departure from the end of the BGC installment of TP. And every mention of the Void Between Worlds in DW is an explicit call out to TP -- Doug travels through it during his jumps between worlds, but he's unconscious during them so he never actually sees it. Legion's different in that he uses a tech device to directly transition from a point in one universe to a congruent point in another universe -- and even then he's often seen "travelling" in some unspecified medium before arriving. Presumably he's also in the Void. And since he uses the Burroughs drive from "Number of the Beast" that probably applies to them as well.
I'm not going to try to explain the adaptation thing from SME. Maybe it's something unique to folks from that timeline...
