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]

[skyagain]

Don't tell me some guy wants to end all things for you, too?

[ TIRED? all ff villains are the same ]

[ktiseos]

A creation of his does-- but he is complicit in allowing her and her sisters to do so. He means to allow them to make their attempt at bringing the end, believing that should we fail to stop it, we are unfit to exist.

...at the moment I was brought here, he was preparing to remove our memories of this knowledge, so that we cannot use it to prevent that end.

[skyagain]

How's that fair, if the entire point is to see if you're "fit to exist" by stopping it?

[ he does not expect it to be fair but he can still think that's bullshit ]
