[Boy that sure looks like Xehanort (or Terra, just differently colored, one of the two is clearly a Shiny), just ignore the dirt smudges and the leaf sticking to his clothes, they mean nothing. He looks .. rather tired.]

Is there a list anywhere, or notices or a book or message board or something that one might peruse to find out what they've missed over the past couple of months? Has any progress been made on figuring out what to do about the pending world-ending problem?

[A small pause, and he frowns.]

Also, does anyone know where I might find Takeshi?

Repeating patterns?

How d'you mean?

[fixed_destiny]

Mmm. Mind you, I have little evidence to work with yet. Let me think of how to put this.

[And indeed there's a pause. Ponder.]

There are multiple versions of many worlds and universes, and certain events seem to take place in some of those worlds; the more similar they are the more events seem to ... for lack of a better word, repeat themselves from one version to the next. Not always perfectly, one calamity might differ from another, one universe-ending threat might not be quite the same as the other, but the basic pattern, if looked at from a distance..

[The surprise is obvious in Reno's voice, but it's a pleasant sort.]

Yeah! Actually. Wow. That's...

You've done this before.

[fixed_destiny]

Afraid not, truth be told. Not as far as I know. But quite a few others have, and I've paid attention over the past couple worlds when they begin talking about their homes and the people they've met.

The closest I get it seems, is my .. ahhhh, darker twin wandering around here. I'm uncertain if we're alternate universe versions of each other or something else, but one day I intend to find out for certain. When the world isn't trying to end and all.

finally getting my stuff together after hiatus

[shinra_dog]

Darker twin? You've met a version of yourself around here?

It ain't unheard of. I've seen a couple different versions of people I knew before, on other worlds. And I've had people tell me they've known different versions a' me.

good lord i forgot about this thread

[fixed_destiny]

That's something we're still trying to figure out. But we certainly do look very much alike, he's merely .. darker.

I've run into more than one person who thought they knew who I was and reacted accordingly. If that's anything to go by, in other worldlines I'm a very unpleasant person indeed. I hope revelations about alternate selves hasen't been unpleasant for you.

we can wrap quickly

[shinra_dog]

Uh... Nope.

[Well, in all worldlines he'd known so far, Reno had always been somewhat unpleasant. It would be more surprising to him if he found another reformed self -- or one who had never gotten into trouble in the first place. He couldn't imagine that at all.]

If you end up havin' any more epiphanies about co-existing worldlines an' stuff, though, I'd love to hear 'em.
