So they have. Still-- I would prefer to remain watchful, rather than simply assume there will be naught for us to see.

[skyagain]

Yeah. But I also don't want to immediately assume anyone acting weird is a killer. We never know what can pop up in these places. So... vigilance, not paranoia.

[ktiseos]

What, do I seem the paranoid sort to you?

[skyagain]

Pretty sure the other you was a little. [ it's said like a joke, though. ]

[ktiseos]

I assure you that we have our differences.

[kind of snippy, even if he can tell it sounds joking.]

[skyagain]

A lot of them, yeah. Sore spot?

[ that's the closest he'll get to apologizing ]

[ktiseos]

[his wings are very ruffled.]

He is not someone I would wish to be associated with, had I a choice in the matter.

[skyagain]

Fair enough. I'm guessing a lot of people here expect you to end up there no matter what, huh?

[ktiseos]

...some version of me must. Otherwise, he would not exist.

[skyagain]

A version, sure. But that doesn't have to mean you.

[ktiseos]

That may be so. I do not intend for it to be me, regardless.

[skyagain]

Then you might as well think of it like some weird mirror version of you.

[ktiseos]

-would that I could. But I cannot quite take it that far.

[skyagain]

Why not?

[ktiseos]

Because I have already been informed of that future, in my own home, from someone who has experienced it.

[skyagain]

... So... a time traveler?

[ktiseos]

Something of the sort. I had hoped they may still be wrong, but to hear others speak of this future self of mine they have met--

It lends all the more credibility to their tale.

[skyagain]

... Just because the future was written once doesn't mean you can't unwrite it.

[ktiseos]

-I hope that this shall be the case, yes.

[it's not looking good so far, but--

he can hope.]

[skyagain]

... We're trying something like that back home. Overwriting a predetermined future. I can't say it's an easy venture.

[ktiseos]

How did you learn of it, in your case?

[skyagain]

... Someone else was trying to change it. So I guess it's more of a race to see who can shape it better.

[ktiseos]

[final fantasies are the same game i swear to god]

I take it their aims run somewhat counter to yours, then.

[skyagain]

[ they sure!! are!!!! ]

... Yeah. He wants the end of all things. But the actual future that we saw... wasn't that much better.

[ktiseos]

...yours as well?

[what is with people wanting the END OF ALL THINGS]
