26th feather [video/action] (locked from Aki)

[darkenedgales]

[hello Johto, how's it going? It looks like Crow has already gotten rid of Kay's and Kaito's ~*~beautiful masterpiece~*~ on his face! And he seems to be recording from his room again, although you don't see and/or hear his screaming this time. On the contrary, he appears to be... unusually deep in thought?]... Hey, Johto? I've got a question for ya

[... thankfully he's angled in a way that he can't see the Magikarp, but he does overhear Crow's question]

Change the past, huh...? [he actually doesn't answer right away, taking the time to really... truly... think about this]

[action]

[darkenedgales]

[and Crow just lets it flail on the floor for the time being.]

Yeah. You think you'd do it...?

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[There's a long, looooong pause before he answers]

I dunno. Why are you asking?

[action]

[darkenedgales]

Just curious what everyone else would do.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yes.

And you're supposed to either bear with it until it turns into something cool, or pass it off on some sucker who doesn't mind how lame it is.

[... She's apparently not going to talk about what it was she'd change about the past, but ... she said it with no hesitation whatsoever.]

[darkenedgales]

[not exactly the answer he'd like to hear, much less stated so firmly. But you won't make him question his decisions just yet, Heather.]

... Even if other people were to suffer because of it?

[subject (and tone) change!]

Tch, figured that'd be the case. Know anyone dumb enough to take it off my hands?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

I said 'yes'.

[And Heather's not going to be so easily swayed. Damn the consequences. She'd change that shit. Because it had all been so avoidable...]

And nah. Except for Jack. But I already gave him mine so he won't fall for it again.

[She speaks, of course, of the ex-skeleton.]

[Video]

[darkenedgales]

Huh... Got it. [doesn't every tragedy turn out to have been avoidable in the end? And, y'know, when the lives of a few billions of people are at stake, the consequences are pretty damn important.]

Skellington, right? [who else would buy that...?] Damn... Looks like I'll have to find it a home. Somehow.

[usedfacade]

Why would you want to? Changing the past ruins the entire concept of events happening for a reason. Good or bad.

[darkenedgales]

Heh, makes sense. That'd make what we've done so far pretty useless, right?

[usedfacade]

[She nods.]

Why do you ask?

video;

[darkenedgales]

Curiosity!

[video]

[overthedratini]

Ehe... I don't know-- I mean, just listening to you, ending something with "no matter what the price" is kind of implying it's a pretty big one, isn't it?

[video]

[darkenedgales]

Yeah, kinda. You think there's some limit to the price you could pay for that...?

[video]

[overthedratini]

I dunno. I mean-- First off, to answer you question, I wouldn't, but haven't you ever heard that even one little change in the past could wreck the whole future?

I read it in a book once.

[JOHAN BRO, YOU UNDERSTAND HIM! sparkles.gif]

My point exactly! There's no point in starting over, y'know? That way, we could never move on.

[video]

[sharkfoodbound]

So far? I wouldn't change a fucking thing.

Heh, and that's one fucking useless goldfish you have there.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

... You sure sound happy with your life!

Yeah, it's not... much of a fighter. Or much of use in general.

[video]

[sharkfoodbound]

I pretty much am. Or would be if I weren't stuck here.

Yyyyeah it looks pathetic. You sure it's not gonna die if you leave it out of the water?
