The universe has seven levels
Ohhhhhkay. *deep breath*
This all started when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
miss_gate disappeared. Given the, erm, altercation she was involved in, I suspected the Dream Police at once. Problem was, those guys are notoriously vicious. If I was gonna go after Them, I couldn't put anyone else at risk. That's why I had to get lyndawithay out of the way, hopefully where nobody would go looking for her. (Still sorry about the punch, Lynda - you didn't trust me an inch, with good reason, and there wasn't time to convince you.) Didn't quite work, though, since you all basically invaded arthur_gate's house, which ended up with him getting kidnapped too - even though he hadn't broken one of Their arbitrary "rules" about non-fraternisation between levels of reality.
*puts on Power Point presentation*
You can imagine the different levels of reality as floors in a building. Everybody thinks of the guys in the floor above as being more "real" than they are.de_seingalt is less "real" than, say, pfred, who is less real than agentcompassion.
(Anybody not following? Questions at the end.)
I tried to make a deal withthem_from_there to find out what Their ultimate plan really is. I said I'd work for Them - turns out that meant They made me into a fictional character, like de_seingalt. If you like, they demoted me down one level of reality. It was like being a puppet. I keep my eyes and ears open, though.
Their mistake was that because Giac and I were now equally "real", he could swap himself for me. He couldn't tell Their plan without dying - They'd written that into him - but he knew I could, so the swap would be worth it.
He's one hell of a guy.
Anyway, their plan is this: They want to capture a "real" person, someone on the level of, say,qthewetsprocket. They think this will allow Them to break through the Fifth Wall and take over LiveJournal. It's a crazy plan, but it just might work.
Somehow, together, we have to think of a way to stop Them.
OK, questions.

The problem is, They're some kind of group intelligence. Shoot one, and it'd be like killing off one brain cell.
...aren't you going to answer my other question?
Not in front of everyone, no.
