<Snipped quote by Artifact>

You mention that because it’s a possibility?

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Raises an eyebrow*
That's not what you said. You said everyone has to have a why.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I doubt it. That would match the theme it's chosen, but that's about it.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Doubt isn’t definitive denial. We should be cautious. If caution makes this quick, then so be it.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

It is a why. As much as spite, or enjoyment are. And just as tangible.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Crosses my arms*
It's not much.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*Speaks to one of your copies that has already been relegated most of the info by Grandfather*

Hey... uummm... Prism? Your Misty is about to commit Seppuku and drag this whole new multiverse into oblivion with her... now i can either pull a piece of her sane soul from the depths of her unconscious, or i can telepathically connect you, more specifically you as this copy to her mind and watch where this is going?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Agreed. If that were the case, there must be limits given that we're currently alive.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Raises an eyebrow in return*
You think so?

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Contact based like the gold dragon, maybe.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

If anything, yes. To that effect, is Chickpea still with us? I haven't heard much from her since we left its domain.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

She is. Mostly helping our eyes in the sky follow around at the moment.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Returns an incredulous look*
No, it's not. It's just "since I can."

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Anything is just "since I can" if you're reductive enough about it. It's the substance that matters. Even to a why as trivial as doing things "just for fun."

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

You're all here on a whim is what I mean. In a dream. No stakes.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

So you two don't work alone all the time? That surprises me.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

That’s not really true is it? You know who I am. You could come try to hunt me down in real life whenever you liked, if you liked. Especially now that we’ve spoken.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Just most of the time. We help people out independently of our own volition, and very occasionally, we ask for help ourselves. In oarticular when dealing with unknowns… Been a lot of those lately.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Scrunches my lips and eyebrows into a doubtful expression*
I have no clue who you are.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You’ve seen me. I don’t try to hide myself in the real world. You know enough to find me if you wanted.
