Honestly, we might not even be from the same world. And whoever is behind all of this could be from a whole different world altogether. Or a different plane. Probably lower planar, based on the while kidnapping thing, but I haven't ruled out any higher planes yet either.

Nah, I get that. But some folks here don't have anyone back in their home world that could pose a threat to someone who can kidnap folks from all sorts of world and hold them captive here. Plus, it seems like nobody knows we are here in the first place. Whoever is doing it is pulling some chronomancy bullshit to keep our disappearances hidden. My friend didn't know I was gone until she got here.
