Uh.

How would one go about... uh. Unparadoxing someone without doing any lasting damage to their psyche/memories/etc.

[Private to Kaz]

[theheadmonarch]

Why do you ask?

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[ogrewarrior]

I'm gonna bring Gwen into reality.

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[theheadmonarch]

If you pull the ring off roughshod, she just turns into a Japanese-American cousin of mine.

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[ogrewarrior]

Yeah, we figured that out already. I really like the super vicious witch lady who can keep up with me when we play fight, and my last Japanese-American wife didn't go so well. So I aim to keep her.

... Uh. May sound weird, but I'm a suspicious bastard. Eden of the Dirac Sea sound familiar at all to ya? One of your names, maybe?

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[theheadmonarch]

Euphie has it right, I'm pretty sure.

I've heard of her. She was a founder of the Illusion Witches who disagreed with the rest of the order and got ran off for having a concreteky different view of how to deal in Illusion/Dream Magic.

Why do you think she'd be me?

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[ogrewarrior]

She was apparently charming, didn't agree with the direction of what sounds like a way to help out people who're struggling, but the whole foundation blew up in her face and got chunked out?

It sounds like you or Sullivan's 'best intentions' sort of thing. And then watching something you made slowly go to the dogs? Yeah. I'd have put good money on this.

Regardless, Gwen's origin sounds like garbage and the world she's from sounds like shit I don't want back.

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[theheadmonarch]

Just because she was a good-intentions type of person, doesn't mean she was me. There are plenty of people with the best of intentions.

You need her origin or she stops being Gwendolyn.

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[ogrewarrior]

Yeah, yeah. Suspicion is still there.

Ain't worth it.

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[theheadmonarch]

You're too suspicious. It's making you conspiracy theories where there are none. What evidence would there even be besides those hunches.

Then enjoy fake Gwendolyn. Deleting your own origin is dangerous. Frankly, the fact her and Euphemia hold together as well as they do, despite being walking errors in reality, is frankly incredible. Steel wills.

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[ogrewarrior]

Well, they wanted you dead. There's, y'know, that. Ya took pity on them when ya didn't have to. You've taken both of them into your house as 'family.' You're working on making Euphie little you, like, I dunno. Master and apprenti-... Oh god I need to apologize to my son.

She ain't fake. Just got a few... problems. I'm helping sort out. Just wanted to replace that ring on her finger, is all.

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[theheadmonarch]

Have you considered I'm just charitable. Besides. Why the hell would I call myself "Eden", instead of "Noriko".

I'm saying.

You need her origin point to tie to her current self. The sum total of Gwendolyn the Wave-Function is her origin and her circumstances from the origin. Without an origin, reality has to correct a massive series of errors regarding "A non existent person who appeared out of nowhere". It hates that sort of nonsense.

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[ogrewarrior]

Yeah, but...

Fine, I'll drop it for the moment.

Right, which is what the ring is doing. Which means I DO have to track down Eden, because I may just break your super computer or it's gonna break me and that's not gonna be productive either way.

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[theheadmonarch]

Well, I can tell you what I do know from stories:

Rumor has it you can find her if you're willing to walk down into hidden dimensions, with bravery. That she hid herself in the echoes of nonexistence the Fallen Sea of Stars, and beyond the Grave of the Apocalypse of a Thousand Weapons. Far beyond the stars.

She passed down all the roads of time, twilight and dreams long ago, and she threw away her mask to conceal herself.

Then again, others say the rumor was put out there by Jezebel the Higgs-Boson, her chief rival who had a completely different view of how the order should of gone.

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[ogrewarrior]

Sonnuva...

Fine then. I'm brave and I'm mean and I'm god damned determined to help the woman I love. You seemed pretty dead set on me being good to her and I'm pretty sure this is the best thing I can do. I don't wanna make her just a cousin or something ridiculous, that ain't the girl I fell in love with. Which, thank whatever's looking out for me that Sullivan doesn't have the ability to do this.

I'm gonna get my shit in order and I'll take this horrifically dumb, eldritch quest. But I'm gonna need one thing from you, since you seem at least kinda interested in me succeeding and I'm gonna try and travel light.

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[theheadmonarch]

Which is?

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[ogrewarrior]

If I'm heading into parts unknown for a long amount of time, I'm gonna want some weapons. And since alot of things out there use dueling as battles, a little birdie told me that ya can make decks outta souls.

And I'm gonna trust that more than I'm gonna trust anything. I ain't ever found a deck that I trust. But I do trust myself.

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[theheadmonarch]

Get me the Deck you like most.

And bring your soul.
