[ Someone is avoiding the crap out of issues and not telling anyone anything important. So. Philosophical discussions! ]

I'm starting to wonder - how do you tell if someone is an alternate version of you, an alternate version of someone you're related to, or they only have the same face?

Because it doesn't seem to be easy to differentiate. [

Nygma. Don't talk about it.

But rest assured, that 'breach' serves as a reminder for me to shave every morning.

I was making sure that your punishment is fair, Nygma.

[ichoosefight]

Does it make a difference? Even if it's another version of you, they still have a different life. That makes them a different person, doesn't it?

[fivestepsahead]

The connection is the point to the question, actually.

[ichoosefight]

I just don't really see the point, I guess.

[fivestepsahead]

Then why even respond?

... This latest one- 'Ironside'- how old is he? Do you know?

[fivestepsahead]

Simply that if he reminds you of your younger self, then he might have been just that - an alternate version of yourself, younger and in a different time.

[ He taps his lip. ]

Because the similarities of every occurrence is too regular to not have some kind of a pattern.

It's possible that all these things are true, from a certain perspective. It's a question of degree, scale, and metatemporal distance, with a bit of coincidence thrown in for good measure.

[fivestepsahead]

You sound like you're speaking from experience.

[mrs_persson]

Quite a lot of it. Which is not to say that I have the answers to your questions; merely that I have asked them myself and come to only the most relativistic and temporary conclusions.

[fivestepsahead]

Which isn't an answer that applies across the board. [ Pause, then he sighs a little. ] Quantum physics have never been my strong suit.

Not only was my name the same, my personality wasn't significantly different, either. My appearance changed, though, but I don't think green skin would have made sense in that world.

[fivestepsahead]

If you don't mind me asking, which bits of your personality did change?

[vinkus_witch]

I didn't notice any, but I'm certain there must have been something with my history being different.

[fivestepsahead]

You don't remember it?
