Tenth Unused Utility Belt | Video

[hellofist]

People keep showing up, with memories... that don't match up. Happening a lot, lately. Guess it happens... all the time, but... seems like more, now.

[Cass stops a second, not looking into the feed but at something past the comm, jaw clenching and relaxing as she thinks.]

Know I did... something. Or... something happened, to me. Made me... someone people don't like? Or are scared of. Don't know.

[It's a little terrifying, to talk to Tim and see him be relieved she's not whatever she becomes in his future.]

I guess, want advice. Want to know... if you did something... bad, or wrong, would you... want to know? Want someone... to tell you, so you could stop? Or just... let it happen, hope you... do right things?

I'd want to know so I could change it. Being here allowed me to change a couple of things in my future.

[youwillgotohell]

Knowing what's to come helps nothing, Cassandra, believe me. [The future's haunted her since childhood, she would trade that gift in a heartbeat, still.]

[wedonot]

I would rather know, especially if there's the potential to change the future for the better.

[love_slave]

Knowing the future became a self-fulfilling prophecy to some people I knew. As much as you know about it, you can't know all of it.

[He's tempted to go audio on this one because it's way too close to home, but that's what she needs right now. He remembers what it was like when people who knew him from further down his own timeline casually mentioned things he didn't know about, things he thought he'd never do, things that someone he never thought he'd be was doing; he'd been angry, and maybe panicked a little, and hurt beyond belief.

And now he's determined not to be that person, and she needs to see all of that, so he clicks on the video.]

Future's not set, sweetheart. If you start believing that, might as well quit while you're ahead, and don't you dare.

Only if there was a way to stop it.

[ She has thought about this. Extensively. ]

[burnmythoughts]

...I saw the future once. Or - one future.

There was - the Professor called it a nexus point. Some of us got sucked into...different times, alternate realities.

[theonlyresponse]

Yes.

If there was a way to stop it. [Years ago he'd have wanted to know about killing the Joker. Made someone stop him.] But sometimes you can't.

[deadliestviper]

Bad or wrong doesn't mean unnecessary. It's better to be feared and disliked than to lie about who you are.

[Have an unusually serious Iris.]

I were there when I did it. Find out all you can, Cass love. No bugger can stop you goin' wrong better'n you, can they?

[fearthepackingchips]

Ehhh I do bad and wrong things all the time. Nobody's ever had a problem saying something, so...sure, I guess? Gets kinda annoying after a while though. I know people don't approve, yanno? You don't have to keep SAYING it, not like it's gonna change or anything.

[...right up until he decides MAYBE IT SHOULD but that's not for at LEAST another few issues, he's not there yet.]

I'd like to know to have a chance to avoid it, but wouldn't let it get to me.

That's wouldn't be me anyway, not really. Not yet. And if I don't let it, not ever.

In my opinion Darlin', I'd not want to know. I'd rather just live it out and have what surprises come my way. And this is coming from someone whose been sorta given that ability. If I could have seen my future, I would have ran from it. It's just better to take life as it comes, the good the bad and the ugly all the same.

[maidtoqueen]

I do not know, really.

[darknessb4me]

If they tell you, you can stop it.

[thirtyfiveminutes]

There is no such thing as destiny. We make our choices, and that shapes our future. That said, now that you know, you can most likely make a different choice.

[Private] - man I thought I tagged this, I'm sorry :<

[peektuttut]

I...[He trails off, cupping his chin in one hand. This is like picturesque brooding right here.]

I feel like I should say something, but I don't know what.

[She's been keeping to herself a lot, lately, but their snowball fight is an odd, bright memory for her, so when she hears the question, she pauses, tries to find an answer. She's sitting cross-legged on her bed, back against the sky blue wall. She chews the inside of her cheek, nervous, hoping she can somehow be helpful.]

I'd want to know. But I always want to know things, even if they're awful. And if it's not something you remember...is it still about you? But knowing might still be worthwhile. Just for...navigation purposes, I guess?

[hetrustsme]

I know quite a few, I was a bit of a Mythology nerd when I was younger. Do you want me to come by and tell you Hadrianus' story? Or Croesus'?

[hetrustsme]

Come over anytime you want. I'll try to think of all the histories you might like.
