[It's been a long time since Ice Bear visited the forum side of the Nexus, so today he's actually here to talk with other people and creatures. The polar bear is seated at a Nexus couch, cutting out coupons with a small hand ax. Yes, it look strange, but the bear cuts each piece of paper with an exceptional amount of accuracy. He looks up occasionally from his work to address the Nexus proper.]

Hierarchy. Ice Bear knows the definition of the word, however...

[Without unintentionally trying to scare anyone, he brings the ax down, embedding it into the indestructible? Nexus table.]

Ice Bear wants to know what you think hierarchy is and how it can be obtained. Power? Courage? Good Looks? Ice Bear is curious to hear your thoughts.

...

Ice Bear would also like advice on Nexus portals.

[The bear leans over and watches Rando write, but it isn't until the man is finished that Ice Bear is actually able to read what's on the paper. He blinks a few times, some of the words having a foreign meeting to him. Finally, after contemplating Rando's story, the bear looks up at his mask once more.]

Strength for survival? Ice Bear assumes this is what your world was like. Is Olathe your home? Ice Bear wants to know if you were a warlord too.

Rando nods again before writing on a fresh page. The last message took up a lot of space.

Olathe was my home, yes. The world I came from. It was very much for survival as well.

And yes. I was? Am? Was a warlord. I wasn't on the List, however. Me and my army were left alone by merit of me being one of the strongest.

I hope that doesn't sound arrogant to say. I only worked to protect people. To try and bring order and peace back to Olathe.

...Ice Bear wants to know if you were successful at bringing peace.

[Now the gear Rando wears makes sense. Ice Bear can't help but ask more questions about the world Rando emerged from.]

Ice Bear is curious to know if you'll go back to Olathe? To continue being a warlord?

[afaceisnothing]

Rando shakes his head. No. No, he wasn't. He then writes a further explanation.

No. I thought I was making decent progress towards peace, but unexpected elements came along. Things no one could have predicted that threw us back into worse chaos than before.

I don't think I want to go back. I have no place there now. And I hate to think of what could happen if the people of Olathe had access to the Nexus. It would not be pleasant.
