Twentieth Theory [Voice]

[i_speak_softly]

To all of you from post-1776 America, happy Fourth of July. [Thoughtful pause.] Well, I suppose it's the fourth of July for everyone else too... I hope you're all having a nice day.

Um. [A throat-clearing, a clanking of metal.] If anyone is interested in current events from - October 9, 2006... I found a newspaper.

[Long pause.] I'm not the only one - seeing things, am I? I thought I was just hallucinating, but the newspaper seems pretty real...

... I'm beginning to suspect our worlds don't have a lot in common.

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

I haven't met anybody who's world was like mine.

[i_speak_softly]

That's strange. If the all-possible-worlds theory is true, then no world should be an outlier. Unless... It would be fascinating if there were such a world!

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

...Fascinating..?

[i_speak_softly]

Yes! If your world is possible, but all similar worlds are impossible, well... isn't that fascinating?

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

Sounds more confusing than fascinating.

[i_speak_softly]

It's hard to think about, yes. But if such a world existed, and we could study it, it would tell us important things about our universe.

Although, I guess that's not everyone's idea of fun...

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

[Thanks for breaking his brain..]

...Huh?

[i_speak_softly]

[Sensing that he's lost either your interest or your capacity to follow - maybe both.] Never mind. It's very theoretical.

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

[He can barely understand/follow cooking instructions, how do you expect him to understand something like that.] O-okay..

[i_speak_softly]

Um... so what are your interests, Raenef?

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

Uhm...magic, I guess? Since I've gotten better at it.

[i_speak_softly]

[Yeah, nothing in common.] That's not really a subject I know anything about. What kind of magic can you do?

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

Mostly bad magic...but I can teleport.

[i_speak_softly]

That sounds useful!

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

It is! I don't get lost because of it.

[i_speak_softly]

How far can you go?

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

I can go anywhere, as long as I know what the place kind of looks like.

[i_speak_softly]

That's amazing. Do you need to have seen the place, or is a picture or description good enough?

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

Seeing the place is usually the best, but the others aren't always perfect. If the picture or description aren't good enough, I could end up somewhere that just looks like it.

[i_speak_softly]

So then I guess you can get lost.

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

I can just teleport back though.

[i_speak_softly]

Good point!
