Whatever you think is going on, you are wrong. Unless, by some strange twist of fate, you think you have been supposedly rescued from the destruction of your world and brought to a ship called the M.S. Elegante, en route to a place called the Golden Shore.
However, considering it is highly unlikely that you think this, I am just going to assume that whatever you are thinking is wrong.
That is one of the most confusing parts--if I am not mistaken, one of the other passengers brushed on a theory that whatever destroyed our worlds shattered them so completely that it twisted time itself around them.
[Erol's smart and Razer totally trusts his judgment, but he won't call him by name because they're supposed to hate each other.]
So we may have been selected from the same moment, but because that moment has been distorted, we are physically and mentally from different times.
...What makes you believe time distortion is impossible?
[Honestly curious. Dude, Jak can do that shit all by himself. Razer doesn't KNOW this, but historical records and religious stuff back home--which are actually close to the same thing, actually--make it pretty clear that time distortion is very possible.]
Even in theory, the most anyone can do is change the way time affects things, not the flow of time itself. It just doesn't work that way.
There are plenty of video games and books that play with the idea of time travel, but it's all just fiction.
[Haseo is such a good student. But also, he's grasping a little (if his world is destroyed, Shino's gone too, after all - meaning he's failed to save her).]
The person who founded...well, the better part of my planet was capable of manipulating time and space as necessary to continue his work.
Or he will be capable, I suppose, considering he is apparently on this ship and has yet to actually achieve any of that founding and building nonsense.
[And again, it sounds like Razer is roleplaying something. Whatever.]
...That just sounds like old religious backstory to me. If time could really be slowed, stopped, or accelerated, then everything would be slowed, stopped, or accelerated with it.
And bitchy Razer is bitchy, so it works! :DfarfairersoulDecember 23 2009, 21:24:05 UTC
Oh, I am certain I am in a couple of those as well, but that is hardly the point.
Unless everyone on your world has pointed ears longer than your forearm and are familiar with a war against biometallic monsters, I think it is probably safe to assume we come from different planets.
Hooray! Balance! Kinda!ineptrogueDecember 23 2009, 21:27:49 UTC
...Wait, how long are your ears? Damn, are you some exaggerated elven anime character? [He couldn't get that out without laughing at Razer a little. Damn, ears that long have to be really inconvenient.]
Hooray or...something!farfairersoulDecember 23 2009, 21:31:16 UTC
...I have no idea what in hell you are talking about, but if you wanted to see proof in-person I would be happy to oblige.
[It doesn't sound like "happy" is the right word, honestly Haseo is frustrating him like you would not believe, but Razer's had more than enough people claiming he and his entire species don't exist; he's used to offering proof in-person at this point.]

Have fun reconciling fact with delusion, hm?

[Even coming from a place in which online games put people in comas, it sounds way too sci-fi.]
I mean, in theory, time can be manipulated in certain ways, but not like that. Are you sure you aren't being lied to? Maybe nothing's destroyed.

[Seriously, Haseo, why is this hard to get.]

Even if someone could stop time, they'd stop themselves, too. It couldn't benefit anyone.
But it's impossible anyway.

Precursors, go back to school or something.

And I'm an Honor Student, thanks.

You know what? Just...ask Jak sometime, after you meet him. He should be able to explain it better, being the one capable of such things.
