four - (video/action for Goldenrod)

[The video turns on, and shows Sissel leaning on a wall. This time, he looks rather pensive, as if he's been thinking about something for a while. His Wailmer is nearby him, and it seemed to have grown the last time he showed it to people- it's about as big as a ship anchor, now.]
You know, there's something I have to tell you guys. It's more of a ( Read more... )

[A guy who looks like Sissel...yeah, Byrne did see something like that in the feeds before, but at the time he didn't pay too much attention to it. Well, he'll keep the warning in mind. Goes on the list of 'Things to Protect My Daughter From'.

Byrne would be more than happy to lend a hand with you remembering how to read, Sissel, but first...there's something else he needs to address.]

Hey, Sissel? Uh. [Slight awkward pause. Uhhhh give him a sec to figure out what to say here...as he scratches the back of his neck and looks very sheepish. Yeah.]

[video] in_themachine March 3 2011, 21:06:35 UTC

Oh, hey Byrne. Is something wrong?

[video] corvus_veritas March 3 2011, 21:10:39 UTC

Actually, I uh.

[AGHFEJ WHAT TO SAAAAAY UM UM UH--]

...Sorry.

[what a brilliant choice of words!]

[video] in_themachine March 3 2011, 21:11:50 UTC

Huh? Sorry for what?

[video] corvus_veritas March 3 2011, 21:13:03 UTC

[Okay okay enough with the one-two word awkward responses, time to apologize like a MAN]

...For not believing you before. About you being dead, I mean.

I believe you now.

[video] in_themachine March 3 2011, 21:15:07 UTC

Oh. Hey, you don't have to apologize for that. I didn't believe it myelf, at first.

If you don't mind me asking, why the sudden change in opinion?

[video] corvus_veritas March 3 2011, 21:26:04 UTC

Because...I learned that before I came here, I'd been murdered myself.

So I guess I'm in a similar situation as you.

[video] in_themachine March 3 2011, 21:32:13 UTC

Huh? Really? You were murdered?

[Well, that's surprising.]

I guess we are. But you didn't turn into a ghost, I'm guessing?

[video] corvus_veritas March 3 2011, 21:39:33 UTC

Yeah.

Even now I can't remember actually dying because it happened so fast. It was like I was just standing there, then everything went black...and now I'm here.

And I'm pretty damn sure I'm not a ghost here.

[video] in_themachine March 3 2011, 21:41:50 UTC

So you didn't even get a chance to wake up dead, I guess...

Well, at least you're alive like me. That's got to feel good, right?

[video] corvus_veritas March 3 2011, 21:53:51 UTC

...

In a way, I suppose. But I'd do anything to go back to that day and stop everything that happened. [Brief pensive look. Well...in some ways it was true, but in others Byrne was almost afraid for how the future might turn out had he not been killed that day. Seven years of future would be altered, for better or for worse...kind of a scary thought.]

[video] in_themachine March 3 2011, 23:04:15 UTC

Believe me, if I had my powers right now, I would definitely try to help you. I could avert fate, you know, so I'm sure I could've prevented you from dying in the first place.

[video] corvus_veritas March 3 2011, 23:16:23 UTC

Sissel. [...Byrne's honestly not sure how to respond to that. His natural reaction is POWERS WHAT NO A LIE but...it's getting harder and harder to doubt anything he hears going on. So he's going to just accept it for now and stop questioning everything he hears.

That brings him to his next thought: would it really be alright to change the future like that? Sure, he doesn't WANT to be dead, but...]

But if it were possible to go back so far in time, what would happen to the future?

[video] in_themachine March 4 2011, 01:14:05 UTC

Your fate would be averted and your future would change, of course. Because you wouldn't be dead anymore. And then that changes the fate of others around you.

[video] corvus_veritas March 4 2011, 04:12:59 UTC

It's been seven years, though. That's a lot of future to change.

...I mean, it might work out for the better, I know. And I know I would never want my daughter to grow up without her father. But I'd also be afraid of what a new future might bring. Something worse might happen if I avoided one death. [They could've come after him...Kay might've been endangered...who knows what could've happened?]

That would be the only thing holding me back.

[video] in_themachine March 7 2011, 16:00:28 UTC

Seven years?!

...Yeah, I can definitely see your point. But then again, saving a life is saving a life. Would it be better for you to stay dead and be unable to do anything to help your daughter?
