[Public. Except for T'Pol. You don't get to see.]I got a question, maybe it's a weird one but. You gotta friend here from back home. Maybe they're not even a friend, just someone you work with or know from around the place. Hell, maybe you even hate that person. Say you're both from different points in your life, you're from one year, and they're ( Read more... )

It happens more often than you may believe.

I'm in the same boat, myself--I'm years ahead of the two people from my world right now. We know we're from different times, but we don't tell those who are behind in some aspects what's going to happen. It's just...wrong, telling someone what's going to happen to them before it unfolds.

It's not like I wanna know what happens. Kinda like ruining the ending of a book by flipping to the last page, you know?

I just think it's decent to tell people when you ain't really the person they're used to seeing.

I used to be the furthest behind until very recently--well, recently for here, apparently. I more or less knew they were past my time once I saw their first entries, but we did discuss it later.

Of course, I'm dead in my world. It didn't make a difference that they told me about what happened after I was killed, because there was no chance I'd mess up their timelines. But now that I'm from years into their future, I have to keep quiet on the details.

It's complicated. There's really no "right" way to do it.

So if you're dead back home, how are you years ahead of them now?

I recently went to our afterlife, at a point when everyone in our group had died and gathered together. I know what's waiting for them on the other side, and how everyone's going to end up there.

As you can imagine, that's some rather heavy information. But it isn't the point I was trying to make.

Yeah, that's not something any man should know about.

I get the point. My point is that a colleague kinda owes it to another to give a heads up on that kinda thing.
