Eighteenth Transformation [video/action for Ecruteak]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy switches the video on to show himself sitting in what look like some of the higher branches of a tree, although not so high that he's in danger of his perch breaking. Someone is obviously enjoying the sun and warm weather Johto is having right now

I wish I knew.

Do you think you can change someone else's future?

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Someone else, huh? If you know their future, I'd say it shouldn't be impossible.

[video]

[justicereigns]

You think so?

What if you thought this person would continue on that path no matter what you do?

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

[He pauses to consider.]

That depends on how much you're willing to manipulate them.

[Oh boy, that's one question Crow doesn't need to think about before answering. Especially since he was kinda busy changing his own world's future before coming here.]

'Course it is. The future ain't set and can be changed.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

You sound pretty sure of yourself.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

That's 'cause I am. As long as something hasn't happened yet, there's no telling how it'll go. Sure it's changeable.

[video; private]

[sharkfoodbound]

No. 'Cause you won't remember it when you get back.

[video; private]

[exeggutorhead]

People have come back remembering, how are you so sure?

[video; private]

[sharkfoodbound]

Because I went home and had something I wanted to change or prevent, and I didn't remember Johto at all.

[video; private]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy is quite for a few moments, considering this information. He's heard a few other people say similar things, or question the possibility of remembering.]

[Fuck that.] I'm going to remember.

[video]

[boldandresolute]

Have you had a few disturbing revelations?

[He's had the same problem.] I can't speak for anyone who has gone back, or for whether or not we will remember things when we do. Regardless, I still intend to change my future, whether or not it's possible.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Wouldn't be any of your business if I had. [Liquid will get a completely insincere smile.]

[Envy definitely does look more interested at what Liquid says next, though.] Well, aren't you determined. Sounds like your future prospects are about as sunny as mine.

[video]

[boldandresolute]

I wouldn't have pried for details. [Envy's problems were his own to deal with. Liquid was the last person you wanted to come to for counselling.]

I am nothing if not determined. [Understatement. Of. The. Year.] My "future prospects" involve a failed attempt at world domination via giant bipedal nuclear tank and death by heart attack. Bollocks to that. There are better things for me to do with my time.

[dead_black_eyes]

I'm sure that simply having knowledge of a future event would change something, whether an individual meant it to or not.

[video?]

[exeggutorhead]

That's true, but to really change things one would have to actually do something about with that knowledge, wouldn't they?

[video!]

[dead_black_eyes]

Mm... I'm taking subconscious actions into account. For instance... if one found out that one was going to get flattened by a truck, whether they believed it or not, whether they tried to change it or not, they would cross the street differently.
