Trente-cinquième Grimoire [phone]

[wizardoftheweek]

Some have probably asked and answered already, but I still have to wonder just why so many of our former fellow captives have returned. It's disconcerting.

Things have been quiet. Very quiet. Too quiet. I know I'm not alone in this sense of dread. This town always offers up its worse at times like this. I know it. And as bad as things have been lately...

I've been jumping at every little thing. I just want it to get it over with at this point. I'm tired of being afraid.

We've been flying together so long I can basically hear his pessimism about the situation without him actually being here to say it anyway.

[tenderoblivion]

Potentially a matter of convenience.

......I have been informed of the occurrences of the carnival. It is ill-boding.

[selematpagi]

Since when the heck have they cared, though?

[wizardoftheweek]

I will certainly try.

[wizardoftheweek]

I can relate, to a degree.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Defintely glad he's not here though. He'd fare poorly without bacta.

[wizardoftheweek]

Don't lose your mind in the process.

[wizardoftheweek]

They don't.

[wizardoftheweek]

... Is that our fate? To perish as this world crumbles around us?

[wizardoftheweek]

Your perception of time isn't off. It is simply that time is relative.

[wizardoftheweek]

Give or take.

[wizardoftheweek]

An effort at what? Stabilizing a doomed world?

[tenderoblivion]

If consciousness is preserved as data in a simulation, erasure is the likely result.

[wizardoftheweek]

... Without what?

[wizardoftheweek]

But data can also be copied.

[endlesswitch]

How rude. I was praising you, was I not? You should be happy.

[selematpagi]

So their definitions of "right" and "wrong" must be different from ours!

[ Patch, do you also know that people die when they are killed? Yukko knows... ]

[imoutos]

[ her tone turns slightly dejected at that. ]

And.. t-that's.. a bad thing?

[ex_bloomnobly385]

Well, that's somewhat reassuring.

So you're saying that if we were to go home now it would be like no time had passed there at all?

[little_thief]

Geez, I'm sorry. That must be rough.

[cabbagehead]

Well, yeah. I mean, maybe this is all that they have? When you've got something that's precious to you, you'll try anything to save it, right? I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to turn all of us into batteries. That is, if we aren't already.

[adropofjupiter]

Love, I lost that years ago.

[wizardoftheweek]

By pointing out the obvious?

[wizardoftheweek]

...

You're a slow one, aren't you?

[wizardoftheweek]

If they had truly changed their minds, we wouldn't be here at all.
