[003] ☿ Studying

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

[Ami, untransformed for this, smiles softly at the video feed. Her voice is calm, and she seems to be ready to take notes; she has a pen and paper in hand.]

I have a few more questions, please.

I wondered whether there was a registry or list of people who've arrived in Traverse Town. [This one's for you, Magus.]

Also, whether the discrepancies in timelines between people of the same world have been investigated or researched.

[Filtered to the Senshi | Unhackable]

Hades has asked me to return Triton's trident, which he says belongs to Neptune. I don't like to say it, but I don't trust him, especially after the nightmares.

I'd like us to go to Atlantica to investigate the situation to be sure, but I wanted to speak with everyone about it.

[He will be listening to most of the answers in this. Why should he trust that the girl is going to give him the answer he wanted?]

[But as to her question... He lived the same point in history twice and it was different the second time. WHOLLY because of that fool Crono and his friends. His influence had no effect. His influence would have seen it done properly.]

Time is malleable. Discrepancies in a timeline should be expected.

But when we all come to one point, like this? If my world was put into the Darkness by heartless, it seems we should have arrived at the same time, being from the same timestream.

Why should we involve ourselves in this? [She means the whole situation with Hades, not helping Ami, of course.]

Possible victims include our princess. [She shrewdly puts it into terms Haruka will respond to best.]

Besides, we live here now. We have a responsibility to the people here.

I don't trust him. He has no problem with using others to further his goals. It is possible he is looking for a way to get rid of us.

We've just arrived. Could he really have that sort of grudge against us?

[ This would be the video feed blipping on, but Usagi is not at the hotel! She's currently out getting groceries to not subtly hint what she wants for dinner tonight for the group! ]

Dis.. crepe.. ansty [ Usagi is sure she's heard this word before. Hold on. Give her a second. Just forget that she totally butchered that word! ] You.. mean problems and stuff, right?

[Note to self: begin vocabulary lessons as soon as possible.]

It means 'differences'. If Heartless came to our world at the same time, we should have arrived here at the same time; but Setsuna-san has been here awhile already.

[And once they get to know it, Haruka's memories of events will be different from theirs, too.]

I don't trust Hades either. He hurt all those people with that prank of his... What's to say he isn't trying to hurt us, too?



But if we go together, we should be fine.

I agree. But if that trident is Triton's and not Neptune's, Triton should know that Hades is trying for it.

Time discrepancies...?

[He wasn't too sure what Ami was talking about here, but Kotetsu certainly was intrigued.]

Are you sayin' that some of us are from the same world but from different times, maybe?

[video]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

That seems to be possible, too; but I was thinking of my friends and myself, and of you.

Think about it. If the Heartless put our worlds into Darkness, we should have arrived at the same time as our friends and comrades. But we've arrived at different times, seemingly.

Uh...I thought the Darkness just spanned different uh... timelines at once, like it's apart from time or something.

[ He's from the 19th Century, so these concepts are a bit beyond him.]

I think I'm from the past compared to a lot of the people here.

When we arrive here, it's because we were saved when our world fell to Darkness. If we're here, then, until it can be restored, we have no world to return to.

How can someone from that world arrive from a time after that point, unless time is manipulated?

[iscursednomore.livejournal.com]

I don't think there is, but I think that's because there are so many. Although maybe this communicator might have something, I really haven't checked.

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

I'll try to search through its functions once more.

[musketmagi.livejournal.com]

Have you... met with a situation like that?

[ video ]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

My friend was here for awhile before I was. If our world was ended at that time, without some form of instability in the timestream, this would be impossible.

[wingless-heart.livejournal.com]

A registry? Maybe the moogles has a list? They seem to always be the first to greet newcomers!

How are you holding up, Ami?

[ video ]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

That's a good idea. They report sometimes, don't they? I can try to ask them next time.

I'm doing well. Are you alright?

Video

[no-souls-here.livejournal.com]

I don't believe there is a formal list.

[Yes the moogles always seem to know whose arrived but they seem... incapable of having that much forethought]

I've looked into the discrepancies myself but the information is far from enlightening. Those drawn here seem to come from any time..... or place without any sort of pattern.

[Ami warms immediately to an educated, thoughtful voice and theory.]

I see. Do you believe it's possible, from what you've seen, that the Heartless are simply able to travel through time? If someone behind them has allowed them to run amok, they might do so at random.

[luvnbeautyshock.livejournal.com]

I'd trust Hades as far as I can throw him.

Have you looked into Atlantica?

[Venus the Irritated. Mercury can't really blame her. She tactfully shifts the subject to the latter.]

I'll admit it's somewhere I'd like to go anyway. It's a world under the sea.

There is no formal method that I have seen. Perhaps the moogles keep one, since it is they who distribute the communicators to the new arrivals.

As for the discrepancies in timeline... whether we are saved from the destruction of our worlds directly, or drawn out of the darkness, may have some effect on it.

I'm curious about the timeline problem, myself. My friend and I both came here from the same world, but from vastly different points in time... I was wondering if anyone had any clues about an explanation for that.

[Video]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

It's possible the Heartless are moving through time. It may also be simply a natural result of so many worlds coming together; their separate timelines are skewed because of it. Alternately, the forces that rescue us from the Darkness may be the ones moving through time, to find us before it happens.

These are only theories, of course.
