I have been until now, but he does need rest after everything that's happened. [ she's familiar with his sleep schedule since roomies. but also, her son needs Rest ] So I'll check in on him again when morning arrives.
[ however she nods with his decision, it is an interesting pick, but off they go! lucky for them being deities capable of flying, huh? minus the obvious ferries. she doesn't mind the silence that fills in- moments like this where she is just content with the company.
once they arrive, she admires the sights and sounds first. ] It's been a while since I've been here...
[ she meets his gaze when he does, smiling a little before she turns back towards the rest of the biome with easy light steps. shoeless... as always... ]
Mhm. When I sent you a message, I was wondering if I could hint at you about the area. "How do you feel about animals?" But we know how that went. [ she peeks up at the scenery, taking it in more. ] I've visited the home biome a few times but not much else outside that.
Like the onsen! Before our trip a while back with Date, I'd never been to one.
[ i still think it's funny that they all went to the onsen together and probably just chilled in the waters and pingpong'd. "chandra didn't pingpong" they pingpong'd. ]
What else, um... Ah, it isn't as if I've experienced things like the aquarium and carnival either.
That's right, we could not descend so willingly whenever we wanted, back while Eden was still around. You witnessed a few times I did from my memories. But as you know, I did undergo some punishment for it.
[ she perks her head at the sound of rustling, a light pressure emitting from her as she searches-- but it settles after a moment, passing it as ambiance sound. her gaze fixated in the direction. ]
After Eden's destruction though, I did spend some time on Earth. Had been until we decided as a group to regress to another turn-- a different timeline.
I'm not overly familiar with the way it works.. [ that's kdj's knowledge but ] From my understanding in observing, they all happen consistently and then... somewhere along the lines they branch out into different turns.
I do know that when a regression happens, it goes to the beginning of it, a particular point in a new turn. Where the story all began.
... It's not too odd. Traveling through timelines is possible in my universe, albeit rarely done—you'd need the backing of one of the few beings capable of "Time".
Though if someone goes back and alters history enough to create a branching route, it typically leads to the death of everything in the path that was no longer chosen.
You would be more familiar with it than me then. Since I hadn't even been aware of timelines until I met myself of the 999th turn. And a bit more later when our group regressed.
I suppose... the difference in that being the timelines move on, rather than lead to death, as they branch out. And we did have the available means of returning to our original turn.
The other gods just thought I was talking bullshit when I attributed things to Time, so it's definitely not something that most people think about a lot.
[sometimes you get dismissed as a silly conspiracy theorist...... but you're RIGHT.]
Makes sense, I guess. The primary issue in my world is that when a timeline only becomes a "possibility that could have happened", it's often discarded by the Primeval Gods and left without the energy it needs to sustain itself.
Mm. Well, in their case, it's less about being preoccupied with the present, and more as you saw in my memory—Visnu believes only in reaching for what he considers to be the single "best" future for the world.
And because the other gods naively believe Visnu's insight and judgment to be infallible, they all work towards that future.
[but for chandra, who would almost always choose to sacrifice the minority for the majority, letting so many worlds die just for the one is unacceptable to him.]
[ there's some familiarity on her face at the words. ]
The alignments were the same way. [ ancient evil and ancient good only cared for themselves in the end. they cared for nothing else outside that. matters outside the current world would not mean anything to them. ]
... And you?
[ tell her this bracket lore OUT LOUD. she steps closer to his side, gaze observing, looking to meet his own. it's implied, but she wants to know what chandra thinks, feels, rather than these other gods she is unfamiliar with. a story hums softly. ]

[ their outings... a certain story stirs happily. ] If there's anything you want to know, I don't mind sharing. What with all the time we have.
[ she glances outwards, curious. ] We should be seeing a new island by the time the new day comes along too.

You're not interested in spending it with your former roommate? He did just arrive here.

All right, then. You prefer to stay here?

I don't mind going elsewhere if you'd like. Which do you prefer?

It doesn't matter to me as long as it's not annoying.

So no beach! I'll let you decide. There's a lot available to us.

... Well, they're not really the kind of things deities would experience unless they were observing or mingling among humans.
I guess that'd be all the more so for you, considering the restrictions Eden seemed to have.

How do timelines work where you're from? You spoke of a 999th—do timelines only occur one after the other, then?

If it is a fate of another's, why concern themselves in sustaining it. [ it is a bit sad but... she gets it. ]
