So
How many of you have people from your own world here?
Because it's me and two of my friends
Only the three of us didn't die at the same time
And I'm just wondering how often this kind of thing happens

Comments

[broplaints]

Might be kind of freaky though
Meeting someone who looks exactly like you
That kind of thing is supposed to only happen in the movies

[broplaints]

[You can't just keep things bottled up inside of you forever, Prompto. Sooner or later they're going to explode.]

Right
I'll be there soon

[Soon, as it turns out, is fifteen minutes. Because first he had to find Ignis, and then he had to explain to him what was going on. And then once that was over he was finally given leave to go find Prompto.]

[broplaints]

Oh-kay then
Gonna pretend like you don't sound like a conspiracy theorist for a second

What should we believe?

[broplaints]

Yeah
Apparently I still was when he came here

[steadfastjewel]

The what?

[This is just his life here, where the fuck are all you people even from]

[broplaints]

The movies?
They're like moving pictures

[Because obviously you know what those are.]

[steadfastjewel]

[.........oh, oh cool, that's the entire explanation]

span style="font-family:courier new;">Like drawings?

[paletteswap]

I've seen similar in my world, but it was due to someone meddling with the sands of time. She was able to fracture timelines and bring younger versions of existing people forward into the future.

I don't know that she had any hand in shaping this place, but maybe something similar happened to your friend as well.

[knifecollecting]

You were alive? At home?

[What the hell?]

[taintedone]

Do you follow blindly without thinking for your fucking self?
That is how you die.
It is how those you hold close die.

You believe what you know to be the truth.
But it isn't always obvious.

[broplaints]

So I gotta ask
If you were so good at thinking for yourself
How did you end up here?

[taintedone]

Am I now responsible for the actions of others?
If someone kills me, slips a poison into my food, I wasn't thinking for myself?

[broplaints]

[He's real good at explaining things.]

Yeah
Kind of
Like a moving drawing
Except instead of art
It looks like real life

[WHAT.]

[broplaints]

Never heard of anything like that happening in our world
But it really wouldn't be that hard to believe with everything else going on

[webshoots]

Right.

So we're clear, 'theoretically' means 'may not actually be true'.

[carriedbylight]

I died before they did. But they seem to be from sometime after I died. It's kind of weird, but I don't know how time works.

[broplaints]

Actually
Just so we're clear
'Theoretically' means that it relates to a theory instead of an experience or practice
The theory is what may not actually be true
But thank you for dumbing it down for me
I appreciate it

[NOCTIS.]

[broplaints]

Pretty sure I'm the one that died first too
But my friend says he remembers me after that
I just
Don't want him to feel like somethings wrong with him

[broplaints]

I guess that depends
Why would someone have wanted to poison you?
Because of your own actions?
People usually have reasons

[carriedbylight]

Well, reassure him that there's nothing wrong with him. Back where I came from, there was this gross old guy that was hopping through time to collect different versions of himself. I think pretty much anything is possible, when it comes to time.

[webshoots]

Sure, but I wasn't clear on how much you were struggling with the term, so I'm glad we've established it was actually 'not much at all'.

[taintedone]

Their reasons are no concern of mine.
Did you die heroically?
Is that the cause for your disdain towards someone who did not?

[broplaints]

Yeah.
At least, he says I was
And I trust what he says

[broplaints]

I have been
But
I'll keep trying

Gross old guy, huh?
Tell me more

[broplaints]

You're not real good at sensing sarcasm, are you?
