I was going to give a written post a go, but I have completely forgotten how to use a quill. All I managed to do was upset the ink pot ( Read more... )

Ah my - father posed us a similar question once.

The correct answer is that one must see it, and accept it, and move forward with the certainty that the path we walk towards it is an inextricable part of our own identity.

He himself ... did not react so well to the revelation of his death, though. It drove him a bit insane.

That's a very interesting response. One of the few I've had in favour of learning the future ahead of time.

Doesn't everyone die? Was it the circumstances of his death that drove him insane?

That I can't say. I haven't seen what he saw, nor did he share it. He simply vanished, and came back... willing to prevent what he saw at the cost of tearing causality apart.

Blimey. What happened?

What do you mean?

Oh. The battle with the faction he created is still in progress. That is why I made my deal.

I see. Do you want him to die as he's supposed to, or do you want the fighting to be over, or both?

I am hoping the Admiral can pull him out of his madness and end the fighting on both sides.

And for that to happen, you need to graduate an Inmate, right? Is it always just the one Inmate, or is it sometimes more?

Just one. That's the deal.

I would appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone from my world what I've told you about my father. That would be... Highlord Tirion Fordring, Arthas Menethil, Vanessa, and Lady Sylvanas.

He's a very respected person, and it wasn't his fault - if I do this correctly, there's no need for any of them to ever find out.

I won't tell anyone. I've only ever talked to you and Arthas. But I'm not in the habit of sharing things I'm told in confidence.

I hope it works out for you.

You as well. Do you want to talk about what's going on here in particular?

It's incredibly complicated and most likely boring. I'll try to sum up. I was in prison for crimes I didn't commit. I ended up here, as an Inmate. Someone is here from my world, only he's fifteen, sixteen years older than me. We were the same age. So, there's a future he knows about that I don't know about. I supposedly escape from the prison I was supposed to be in for life.

To further complicate matters, all of this has been written in a series of books about my godson. There are seven of them and they exist in at least two worlds.

I believe I'm here for a reason. I'm being told by others that what I want is impossible, due to events in these books, and in the future. I'm just trying to figure everything out. I know I die in the books, but as Arthas so kindly reminded me earlier, I'm dead now.

[Light laugh.]

Well, I wouldn't trust anything Arthas says about causality. Or death, for that matter.

All inmates arrive here dead and return home anyway if they graduate, if they want to. I don't think anyone can make this choice for you, though, Sirius. What you learn could give you great hope... or force you to proceed towards the inevitable while dreading it the whole time.

Is Arthas from your world? Tell me about him. He's an interesting fellow, what little I know of him.

No, no one can make the choice for me, although that are those who desperately wish they could. I believe this future in the books is a grim one. I'm almost certain of it. A part of me wonders if it would be a relief to know. At the same time, I'm a stubborn git, and I don't want a set of ruddy books to make my decisions for me.

[This is her Remaining Professional voice:] Yes, he is from my world. He is probably best avoided. His reputation shows that he doesn't need much provocation to turn violent.

It's also entirely possible that what you learn here about your future you won't be able to carry with you. You may forget it all so that the timeline won't be altered by this divergence.

I'm not looking to get into any fights. If I was, I'd pick a different target.

So, in short, there's no bloody point. Is there any bloody point to the Barge? Will I remember being here if I ever leave?
