Can't say I've ever been in a position where there were doppelgangers of members of my team. Well, save for that one time. But then again, there's just some alien species were it's impossible to make heads and tails of between them, I don't care how "open minded" you are. But let's stay on point, yeah?

This..."altnerate universe" theory that's all ( Read more... )

Okay, just. Take it from me, Bandit Guy, don't even try to understand alternate timeline bullshit. Seriously. Soooooooo not worth the hassle. All you have to know is that when there are two of the same person grubbing around thanks to weird time shit...

[Vriska holds up two magic eight-balls to the camera.]

One of them is a paradox clone. And the universe haaaaaaaates those. So much. And it always finds a way of getting rid of them! In the most fatal and messy of ways. [And... SMASH. One of the eight-balls is now a shattered pile of plastic.]

So I guess what I'm saying is - relax! That little problem of yours is totally going to solve itself before you know it.

Dude, do not listen to this troll, she's an idiot who doesn't understand shit about time travel.

Seriously, Vriska. Paradox clone is not the correct term here. Or I sure hope for your sake it isn't, since it would mean that as a paradox clone you'd be doomed yourself.

Not like that matters here.

Huh? What, no. I didn't mean we were all clones! There's two of that Shepard lady running around, right? They can't both be real! So. One has to be a doomed paradox clone. Come on, dumbass, you know this shit.

Oooooooobviously.

Yeah, I know this shit, but obviously you don't because apparently my point passed several miles above your head.

A paradox clone is someone created through ectobiology. That's why the word clone is included. I really hope you know what ectobiology means because I sure as hell am not explaining that here.

Multiple versions of the same person existing through time travel are not clones. They are simply different instances of the same person. Whether they are doomed because of unstable time loops or not, only a complete moron who doesn't know how time works would think they aren't all equally real.

Did you get any of that? Maybe I should draw you a fucking diagram.

See, Space Bandit Guy? This. This is why you should just stop trying to understand time shit. Because everybody who does understand it turns into a giant smug oversensitive douchey dopey nookstain.

[SRS THOUGHTFUL FACE.] But yes, actually, I would loooooooove a diagram. I mean, obviously you explaining this shit with words just isn't working! Maybe because every time you speak all I hear is "bluh bluh I'm a big dumb stupid featherbeast bluh bluh look at my shitty wings bluh".

[ What is life even. Zaeed can only stare, hoping the abyss will not stare back. ]

All I'm getting out of this is one of these supposed universes have a lot of you noisy gray kids and not one of them like to make a whole lot of sense. Damned glad I wasn't born in that one.

Clones I get, but what's this "Doomed paradox" the black-haired one went on about?

Vriska. My name is Vriska. Not bluh-bluh-black-haired-gray-kid. Jegus, Space Bandit Guy, not even asking peoples' names is so rude.

But okay. Time. It's like... Okay. I'll put this really simply so you can understand it.

[SHE WON'T. SOB.]

Right. So there's a real timeline, right? The alpha timeline. The timeline where everything happens like it should!

Now. Say in the alpha timeline you were supposed to... I don't know. Make a sandwich. But you decided to say "fuck this predestination shit, I'm going to eat some grubloaf instead".

That would take you off the alpha timeline and into an offshoot timeline. And offshoot timelines are doooooooomed! So you'd eventually end up dead. I dunno, maybe your grubloaf was poisoned or something. It's not important ( ... )

If you're going to get all hung up over names, kid. Then I suppose you ought to know "Space Bandit Guy" is hardly an alias I'd employ. I get called a lot of things, but Zaeed is the one that usually shows up on the hit lists. You might want to start using that one. I rather like it.

"Eventually end up dead?" Shit, well in that case I guess I've been living in one of your offshoot timelines, considering my track record. You got a hell of a way of explaining things, though, I'll give you that much.

Can't say I buy it, but, beats nothing. A for effort.

Wow, Vriska. Nice job with making a perfectly simple issue completely nonsensical.

Anyway, Zaeed, just because there are two versions of the same person running around doesn't mean one of them has to be doomed. That's only in case the timeloop isn't stable. I don't know the details so I can't say for sure what you're dealing with.

Bright kid.

[ At least he thought it was a kid. Of indeterminate species. ]

Damned if I knew what I was dealing with, myself. All I know is the chain of command just had the nastiest hiccup.

Well, normally time travel etiquette is that in stable timeloops, the future version calls the stops, and with alternate timelines the alpha version is in charge once the branching point has been dealt with. But if you don't know which is which...

Never brushed up on the subject. But I can at the very least figure their isn't a lot of etiquette involved.
