This is getting ridiculous, I had wanted to make a post of asking whichoutfit to choose, as my current attire is still very bloody and quite frankly I don't think anyone wishes to see that any more. Even if these are work clothes...


However. [Kanaya clears her throat.] This isn't the time for rambling--which I don't do but that's obviously beside the point.

My point is, actually, fate. Some people here are not content to let things be; to interfere in things that are not theirs to interfere in. Is the idea of everything having a fated outcome so distasteful to the members of this community?

I may be mistrustful of Scratch but I know better than to interfere. Some things are meant to happen. Both ill and benevolent. (And I know you'll see this, Scratch. I'm not defending your behavior, okay?)

Uhh... I don't know if I want to ask, but is something else going on now?

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

Some people have taken it upon themselves to try to anger Doc Scratch because they wish to create a doomed timeline, Jade.

[carryarifle.livejournal.com]

Why would they do something like that? That's what we're trying to stop, isn't it?

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

Because they're acting like a bunch of damned idiots? I don't know why people do stupid things--I wish I did so I could stop them from making complete and utter fools. I know I've said that Scratch is not to be trusted but I never said that people should purposefully antagonize him.

To your second question, yes, that is exactly what we're trying to stop.

I think Mister Kefka just really, really hates destiny, no matter whose it is!

I just hope we aren't already doomed.

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

Then he is more of an idiot, then. Without destiny, where would we be? He is acting in such a manner that cannot be condoned in any way, shape or form.

We probably aren't. I mean, we'd all be dead by now if we were.

[carryarifle.livejournal.com]

I think not all other worlds are as predestined as yours and mine! Or at least you don't die if you change something. Maybe he doesn't get that it's the same in reverse too?

Hehe, you're right! We would be.

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. Quite frankly, this all would be much easier if they had the same kind of faith that you and I share in destiny.

Well, I am technically dead but I am pretty sure that was supposed to happen. Probably.

[carryarifle.livejournal.com]

What are we going to do now?

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Hey, hold on! If I make a doomed timeline, it will be to get everyone out of there! If it's doomed, their fates don't matter. And paradox space can't reach outside of that set of universes, I think!

Reds and blacks look good on you with you current complexion. Green would bring out the color in your cheeks.

And! I'll interfere in what I want to. And if what I'm trying works out, no one dies and no one gets eaten by paradoxes.

[carryarifle.livejournal.com]

I do not really think it works that way!

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

I don't know, Jade. There's about four hours or so left in my timeline at least...

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

I always look good in green and...I have green still left in my cheeks? Oh, dear...

It's probably not going to.

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

They will probably fall prey to idiotic deaths, then. Like falling furniture and the like... Not murder but not exactly the best, either.

[carryarifle.livejournal.com]

At least we all still have a long time to think about it in stretched-out time.

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

I suppose that is true. It feels like sweeps have passed in this place already.

always video;

[hugmyscythe]

[okay, she's going to you because Doc Scratch is dodging whatever she's asking as usual] Perhaps you can answer my question.

If you were not to

meddle,
or help,
or guidethis timeline,would those that are to die soon

still be fated die at that time?

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

Kefka's being an idiot, but if they want to find a way to change things themselves, they can. It's already happened in some ways; I haven't seen Eridan kill anyone yet.

[carryarifle.livejournal.com]

Do you think we're still moving at one month to five minutes?

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Yes, but it's worth investigating.

[To see if the community would let it happen. To spite Scratch. Because he feels like it. Because he's having too much fun with these people to let his fun get ruined early. Because he likes the trolls, dammit.]

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

Eridan hasn't killed anyone because it isn't time for that yet. If he is to do it, it will be after Aradia's robot body explodes for no reason. Not everything went sour right away.

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

And if he doesn't do it?

Aradia's working on a way to keep from exploding.

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

I think? I'm a hero of Space, not time.

[carryarifle.livejournal.com]

Investigating is good, dying is not so good!
