[ 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. [

[It takes him quite a while ICly to chime in on the conversation.]

This...person...I became, this mortal, had little connection with me aside from superficial appearance and military background. I have never been so pathetic.

[fivestepsahead]

[ Pause. ]

Because you were mortal?

[feels_no_love]

...no. I dislike the inherent vulnerability of being mortal, but I do not consider mortality itself inherently pathetic. [A lot of individual mortals, yes...]

This man, however...he was pathetic. He showed a few glimmers of becoming less so at the very end, but I...did not appreciate being forced to ride along on the train-wreck that was his life.

[ Pause. ]

I find it interesting, that the people who deny that their counterparts during the breach are alternates of themselves are the ones who find said people to be... disagreeable.

[Avoiding all things ever too. She's in shock about it all.] Wanna come see if I can snap some big trees in half by hitting them? Could be fun.

Are we betting about it? [ HE GETS IT. And goes along. ]

[ Pause. YEP. ] Alright.

CES in ten?
