Do you think time still moves in our worlds?

[prophylactic]

Pretty sure it already has. I don't see the point in throwing a tantrum about it, so yeah. I'm okay.

If things were different back home... I dunno. Maybe not.

[iravehementi]

Ah.

May I ask what was happening back home?

[prophylactic]

Just personal stuff.

You'd want everything to wait for you? That busy, huh?

[iravehementi]

Who is to say time moves in our worlds at the same pace it does here?

[prophylactic]

Dunno. Nobody, I guess. I wouldn't be surprised either way, just... think it's moving just fine without us back home.

[iravehementi]

Perhaps. Or perhaps not.

While we're here our worlds may be marching toward their deaths. The universe will be littered with one planet graves.

[prophylactic]

So what, you want to do something about it?

[iravehementi]

Everyone should want to do something about it.

[prophylactic]

You don't know what to do, huh.

[iravehementi]

I am new to this world. It would be foolish to make plans blindly.

[Which is to say no he does not, but he won't plainly admit to it.]

[prophylactic]

We all are. Makes sense. Do we even know if there have been "Chosen" before us?

[iravehementi]

Those Who Were There may be the first Chosen.

[prophylactic]

What? So why are they fucking with us now?

[iravehementi]

No. If they were, I doubt the locals are aware.

What they see as gods may have been a precursor people. Ones who found themselves stranded in this world... much like ourselves.

[prophylactic]

Well, it's a theory. But if they're stranded, aren't we just as shit out of luck?

[iravehementi]

Are we?

There is wisdom to be gained from past failures.

[prophylactic]

If they're still stuck here, I doubt they're gonna let us go that easily.

[iravehementi]

They might not be here anymore.

They might be long dead.

[prophylactic]

Then whoever's bringing us here and the Those the locals are into are two different groups. Sounds like a problem getting worse to me.

[iravehementi]

It could be. If so then waiting around for our sentencing would not be in our best interest.

[prophylactic]

Yeah, well, when you've got a plan that's more than half-baked, let everybody know.

[iravehementi]

Oh, I shall.

In the end, I hope to save us all but there is still so much to be done.
