Members of Drama Drama Duck, it's been a while. I must apologize for my lengthy absence here. There has been a great deal going on, and I'm afraid haven't had much time to look into this place myself.

But now that everything is in order, I come here with a question: to the people of other worlds, what are your views on prophecy? Do you consider it to be one absolute path, or one of many possible futures? Most of all, do you believe it's something necessary? I am curious to know if there are any other worlds that are similarly built around prophecy like ours; and if so, I wish to know what the people's views on it are.

For those who don't know my name; I am Ion, Fon Master of the Order of Lorelei. I am pleased to make all of your acquaintances. If there is anything else you wish to know, please do not hesitate to ask. I am willing to answer any questions that you may have.

Oh! Anise once asked me if I was Ion! I think she thought you were me!

Or I was you ...

Do you like sheep? They're fluffy!

Did I say something weird?

[infinite-paths.livejournal.com]

Er, um... no, of course not. You say Anise confused you for me?

There's no such thing as Fate, my beauty. Certainly water flows down a hill, but we can still change the course of the current. Even a single human can possess great power for change.

[infinite-paths.livejournal.com]

Er, beauty...?

In any case, I must agree. I believe that fate isn't absolute, but simply one choice out of infinite possibilities. People do possess the power to change and choose their own paths, just as you say.

[the-air-corsair.livejournal.com]

Hm? My apologies. Am I being too familiar, my lady?

I've made a career of it.

[infinite-paths.livejournal.com]

Er, no, it's not that at all, but... I'm a boy, sir.

A career, you say? Is that so?

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

I see you've decided to give the internet another try.

[infinite-paths.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've been meaning to look into the internet for a while now, but I lacked the time until recently. But now that I do have the time, I think I'll be able to look around a little more.

How have you been doing, Yuan? Are you well?

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. And yourself?

[darkling-wind.livejournal.com]

Interesting question. I have always viewed prophecy as foretelling of the most likely course of events. My experience to date has supported this conclusion.

[infinite-paths.livejournal.com]

That seems to be the most widely accepted views the people of my world seem to hold, even considered an absolute future by some. But would you think it's a necessary thing?

[darkling-wind.livejournal.com]

That would depend on the world, and how far along it was in its development.

[anti-existent.livejournal.com]

...Fon Master. I shouldn't be surprised at your arrival... or is it return? Doesn't matter, most of your little entourage are already here after all. I'm sure they'll be happy to fill you in.

And I think you know my answer to your question.

Sync... so it's true...

[anti-existent.livejournal.com]

You think they'd lie about whether I'm alive or not? ...Well, I don't entirely blame you for doubting them.

[tokugirl.livejournal.com]

We still don't have much time, Ion...

[infinite-paths.livejournal.com]

I'm aware of that, Anise. But given how things have seem to be going, I don't think there's any harm in looking around this place during the spare time we have.

[tokugirl.livejournal.com]

Just remember to be careful, okay? This place is full of weirdos.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Ion. My name is Karen Minazuki.

As far as the future goes, I seem to fall somewhere in the middle. I'm sure it's not entirely up to chance, but at the same time, I'm also sure that our choices make a difference.

[infinite-paths.livejournal.com]

Perhaps so. I do agree with what you've said. Perhaps it's not completely left to pure chance, but I agree that it's the choices we make that truly matters.

My world has many great prophets. The most important prophecy is called the JuMeSyn prophecy. But nobody understands a word it says...

I don't believe my fate is preordained, though. I forge my own future. Only I can decide it.

[lolcrayons.livejournal.com]

There usually is one main path, but you shouldn't have to follow it if you believe something else is better. You should still do what makes you happy, even if it does mean going against what someone wants...
