Jumping into every conversation he had was getting old, so I'm saying this here:

If any of you come across a boy named Zuko, anything he says about me is likely to be lies, exaggeration, outdated, or all three. He's from an alternate version of my world, and he's over three years into my past-- and no matter what he says, he doesn't know anything

So who's the Zuko kid to you, then?

[voice]

[emberandash]

Ex-brother.

[space_klepto]

...I don't think you can actually 'ex' that particular relationship.

[emberandash]

Yes you can. On my world he was disowned by my father and I was disowned by his mother.

How's this sound: I'm not picking any side other than "THIS CHICK IS STILL A GIANT BITCH."

Alternative universes happen. A shitton. Nothing you can do about it. For all you know, there's a universe out there with you as a lumberjack and your right hand is a chicken head.

Just saying; it's probably out there.

[emberandash]

I already know all that. I've been dealing with alternate universes since I was fourteen.

[cousinisdeeeead]

Well good for you. Then why the fuck are you asking?

[emberandash]

Because I want to know if things are different here. I don't need to know how they operate out there.

[survivethesiren]

Well it seems I'm not the only one with trouble like this.

[emberandash]

Who's trying to cause trouble for you?

private; unhackable

[survivethesiren]

My former leader. He is called Castor.

private; unhackable

[emberandash]

I don't think I've spoken to him. What's he doing?

[...Wait. Wait a second, Ross. Years? This bears more observation.]

Alternate-universe theory is a broad subject. If you want relevant information, you're going to have to be more specific.

[There is a brief, awkward pause.]

...I, uh...I met. A version of you. Before. Sorry.

[emberandash]

[OH LOOK IT'S THE SKITTISH GIRL]

I know quite a bit about how alternate universes work in general. I just want to know how they work here.

When did you meet a version of me? Are they still here?

audio;

[robodidactic]

Alternate universes work the same everywhere. They're universes, each one operates differently, but that doesn't effect the others. Are you familiar with the Heisenberg Principle?

And no, they're in the universe I visited previous to this one, I hope. She was fairly...

[An awkward pause, while Kimiko's brain tries to come up with the correct response to give someone who can roast you alive, slowly.

be tactful. Be Tactful. FOR THE LOVE OF SCIENCE BE TACTFUL.]

...destructive.
