And now, I present to you, my kind readers, a preview from the first chapter of my brand-spankin'-new, hArtists-exclusive story: Tales from the Nexus.
-----
Carl Jung, a famous psychologist, believed that mankind is bound together in an unconscious world, which he logically named the "collective unconscious". This unreal space, according to his theory, is the plane upon which all human minds are bonded; by exploring the collective unconscious, it is possible to gain knowledge from the minds of others, regardless of the real distance between them, by experiencing them in that unconscious space. Personally, I believe that Jung's beliefs were not that far from the truth. The plane mentioned in his theories has appeared to me as an impossibly complex labyrinth of endless blank corridors; I have spent hours at a time (or so it has seemed, for it exists outside the limits of normal space and time) wandering these hallways, opening each of the thousands of doors that line their walls and exploring the "Blank Rooms" inside. Every door is marked with someone's name, and each Room I have seen has differed from the one before it; some have been larger than others, some have sported rich decorations where others have been left bare, and some have been crowded with masses of people while others have seemed utterly devoid of life. No matter how many times I have tried to stay in one spot, I have always found myself in the Room bearing my own name whenever I have drifted off into this beautiful, desolate place; it is for this reason that I am sure this world, this "Nexus", must be the collective unconscious Jung spoke of.

My ideas about this story may create opprotunities for my mental self to go to unique places and meet people in a non-canon environment. Let me know if you want to know more!!

Ok.. so from what I understand.. this guy will go through doors of the Nexus and run into different worlds.. like say.. hang with Usako and Kitty in 'UsakoLand', chill with Delilah and Fatima in 'Mansiniland' and watch out for the sexual antics of Kristy and Rita in 'Weissfishland'?
Sort of, but not different worlds. Every room appearing in the Nexus represents the mind of some person; the room is not so much as that person's world as it is a representation of their unconscious self. So, DapperDan's room might be where one would find Shurene and Karina, Fatima and Delilah would be in Mansini's room, and Rings and Ruby would be in Rings' room.
As far as what happens in each room...I have yet to figure that out yet. Right now I want to set up the narrator and his female counterpart (who is introduced in the full first chapter); once that's done, I'll worry about the specific scenarios with each included person/character.
