[Ken's stopped for serious time. He's lying back in bed, in the room he and Youji are sharing--the other man's nowhere to be seen--idly scratching Ratty's ears. The little purple Pokemon is bruxing happily at the attention.]...so, I was thinking

I have a few.

... [... And that's it. She doesn't feel like answering the question about how much to tell somebody from the past. ... It's all still a little too soon at this poibt.]

[Voice]

[usedfuryswipes]

Hopefully they don't piss you off as much as Youji does me.

[He can tell she's not all that thrilled about this line of conversation, and is trying to lighten the mood somewhat.]

[Voice]

[foolishwren]

HEH.

Nah, thankfully, none of the people from the ol' homestead have been the ones who'd piss me off.

[She hadn't actually KNOWN any of them before meeting them here, as a matter of fact... Coincidences, coincidences...]

[Voice]

[usedfuryswipes]

See? Lucky break, there. I've been having to hold back from hauling off and punching the guy for weeks now. The way you've got it, no busted knuckles are involved.

[Could get a lot worse, though. Much as Youji could push all his buttons, at least he was a friend.]

There are a few people I've run into in Johto that are from my hometown, but there's only one I actually know personally - my daughter.

And it was quite the shock when we met. Last time I saw her back home, she was ten years old. Here she's seventeen. She ended up telling me about everything that happened back home those seven years. The details were...a little upsetting to hear, but I needed to hear them. [Because, well, Byrne died the moment before he showed up in Johto. There's no future for him after this place.]

[audio]

[usedfuryswipes]

Damn...that's hard. Would...there be anything that you wouldn't have wanted to hear?

[audio]

[corvus_veritas]

... Certain people dying, for starters. [Like himself.]

[audio]

[usedfuryswipes]

...don't blame you.

[Although Ken knows it's inevitable. He's playing that off.]

Think that we would remember? That there'd be anything we could do about it, when we go back?

{video} what are timelines

[used_glare]

I have two others from my world here, but...

{Sigh, rub forehead} They haven't posted on the network in quite some time.

And I'm not exactly sure about what times they're from.

[usedfuryswipes]

Just one, for now. Can't decide whether I want to celebrate or strangle him. It's equal odds, some days.

[He can totally comisserate.]

Might be easier, that way. Least you don't have to worry about it, if you don't know what to worry about.

[used_glare]

Hah, sounds a lot like most of my workmates from back home.

Mmm, I suppose so. It is my future, after all...
