Yes. The future hasn't happened yet, so it can be changed.

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

so it's alright to change it?
even if something is predetermined

Yuuto Kidou ☸ Eligor

[kouteipenguin]

[Is this person asking permission to change something...?]

If you're not okay with something not changing, then work to change it.

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

i
don't know what i want to change

this is good to know though

Yuuto Kidou ☸ Eligor

[kouteipenguin]

What brought this question about?

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

thoughts
remembering home

thinking too much, maybe

Alucard ⚔ Marchosias

[draculabackwards]

The future is not set in stone, so yes, it is different.

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

stone

nobody can see the future
nobody here can affect the past
is that right

Alucard ⚔ Marchosias

[draculabackwards]

Generally that's how it works, yes.

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

that's good

Mukuro Rokudo | ☸ Andras

[possedere]

It depends on the order it's done in. Time travel can be tricky.

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

does the order matter
if you're time traveling

Mukuro Rokudo | ☸ Andras

[possedere]

Yes. One is more work than the other and the results aren't as readily obvious.

Though why the interest? Hoping to change your past or future?

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

which one?
i'm just thinking

you shouldn't change the past though

Mukuro Rokudo | ☸ Andras

[possedere]

The future. When you return to the past, you'll never see your handiwork.

Why not?

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

oh
that's because





it might mess up the present

[He hadn't actually thought that hard about it before...]

Mukuro Rokudo | ☸ Andras

[possedere]

And if the present isn't worth saving?

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

do you think it isn't?

Mukuro Rokudo | ☸ Andras

[possedere]

Sometimes. The world isn't always a nice and kind place.

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

that's true
it's the world we live in though

we'll survive the bad things

Mukuro Rokudo | ☸ Andras

[possedere]

So we should just accept those conditions? I'd rather change what I can.

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

i was told
the past shouldn't be changed

Mukuro Rokudo | ☸ Andras

[possedere]

By who?

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

someone i knew

Mukuro Rokudo | ☸ Andras

[possedere]

And they're worthy of such blind faith?

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

it's not my place to question them

Mukuro Rokudo | ☸ Andras

[possedere]

All the more reason to. What did they do to deserve such obedience?

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

gave me a purpose

Mukuro Rokudo | ☸ Andras

[possedere]

And what purpose was that?

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

does it matter?

Mukuro Rokudo | ☸ Andras

[possedere]

Humor me. I'm curious.

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

[........]

fighting

Mukuro Rokudo | ☸ Andras

[possedere]

Are you good at it?

[Because it might be good to know someone who is, if the coming events were as dire as everyone else seemed to say they were.]

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

yes

[Straightforward!]

Mukuro Rokudo | ☸ Andras

[possedere]

I'll keep that in mind. Take care of yourself, Nakigitsune.

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

you too

Yui Kanzaki ☸ Amon

[mirrors_wish]

I feel like I've had that question myself.

I don't know. The past creates the future.

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

have you?

the past creates the future
changing the past would change that future
changing the future...

Yui Kanzaki ☸ Amon

[mirrors_wish]

I don't know. But it feels very familiar.

I feel like if you can't change the past, you really can't change the future. So the reverse has to be true too, right?

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

i guess so
that makes sense
neither can be changed then?

Yui Kanzaki ☸ Amon

[mirrors_wish]

I don't think so. Maybe some details change but the overall picture stays the same.

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

that might depend
on what you do

Re: Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[mirrors_wish]

Maybe.

Chikusa Kakimoto ☸ Astaroth

[kokuyoyo]

That's probably for someone with knowledge of how to bend time and space in the first place, but the differences are less than you think.

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

they are?

[kokuyoyo]

It's still messing with the fabric of time, so probably.

[foxhands]

that's true

i wonder if time was messed with here

[kokuyoyo]

Or it might be an illusion... Or alternate universes.

Who knows.
