[Well. The previous night's sleep was absolutely hideous, for reasons that Kimblee really doesn't want to discuss, especially not with the network as a whole; however, the lack of contact with people is possibly the last thing he wants.

So. Polling the audience time again. Let's do this thing.]

While I know that this world has a tendency to pull some strange sorts of mayhem when it comes to bringing people here, have any of the rest of you found people from a different version of the world you came from? I'm not talking about different points on the timeline - though if any of you have experienced anything particularly strange on that front, I'm interested in hearing about that as well. What I'm referring to are instances of the world being identical up to a point, and the subsequent differences led to the timeline of your world and the timeline of this alternate version being entirely different.

From what I understand, this can lead to things such as another version of you living out an alternate version of your life; an example of what things might have been, if you made different choices. I know that it's a popular theory, philosophically, but have any of you received irrefutable evidence that that's the case in whatever reality you came from?

Because I have.

I don't really understand why they'd want to turn lead into gold to be honest. It'd be more useful if it was melted down for bullets and other necessities that we need. Wasting it like that just seems... well, stupid. Even more if it's illegal.

But gold aside, does that mean you could take anything else and turn it into a weapon? Like a slab of steel into a sword? Or into cables?

If there were enough materials and you had enough of an understanding of what you were trying to do, then yes. Some people actually specialize in the creation of weapons like that.

I won't say I completely understand it all--I probably wouldn't even understand if I had it explained to me like I was a little kid, but it sounds... I don't know. Interesting and terrifying. I wouldn't mind seeing something like that with my own eyes, but nothing like that would ever exist in my world.

_{[But it'd make so many things much easier if it did. A boy can dream!]}

What else can people do with it?

I hadn't heard about anybody being deceased, yet. Just about bad situations.

What if someone has a penchant for remembering things they aren't supposed to?

But that's the rub. How do you know if it was Fate's calling for you to embark on your journey, or an action you made out of your own volition. You could even say that Fate had placed you in a certain household, to live a certain upbringing, all so that once you were grown you had come to adopt a certain mindset and outlook on life.

What we perceive as 'challenging Fate' is actually nothing of that nature at all. You merely swim against a current set none other by your fellow man. After all, who determines the limitations and possibilities of man, but man himself? Fate said nothing of what you can do; she merely nudges you in her own subtle ways of what you were meant to do.

I'm not in any position to know that.

I guess time will tell, then.

[saxsongs]

I guess anyone could start thinking theories like that after spending quite a while in this world.

What is your opinion on the matter?

Oh, most certainly. The existence of infinite parallel worlds is actually proven fact, as there's an individual who has learned to travel between them.
