Ain't gonna lie, no idea the hell that was. It ain't my thing, but I trust Summers, so I went on his request.
(although the rest of the conversation is more interesting. no fate of the world for manjiro, but the fate of his own existence and the bonds around him. he too was tired.)
[Charles went because someone asked him to go, too; Junpei kind of tuned it all out after all the arguing on the network when the AI popped up. Eh.
Anyway, fate of the world... okay,] And it's, you know, "find the right timeline to stop the apocalypse before it happens" kind of shit. I'm way under-qualified for it in the first place, soooo...
Oh. Mine was more like, undo the time-travel fuckery so no one dies and a curse dissipates sorta thing. Also not qualified, and real bad as a curse bearer.
[#Doubt, and so on, but he won't leave a toast hanging. He'll also contain his comment about how everyone he knows who has this ability, himself included, is absolutely mentally unwell, but only because they've just met. Maybe next time.
Anyway, he does the traditional thumb-slitting-throat gesture for Fucking Dying to explain,] Mortal danger is the trigger. Aiming's harder unless you've got a previous decision in mind, like "the history where we got heads instead of tails." Something like that.
Not really, but at least I'm not the only one who has to deal with this shit in this place.
(he had someone else, the time-leaper from his world who kept giving up everything over and over again for manjiro himself. he's gone, and at least to have someone who knows how weird the experience is feels quite comforting.
also, he's also mentally unwell, so it's fine.)
Oh. Shit. In my case, it's more like, if you want to change something desperately, and I want to change something desperately, and it's usually something horrible - then we shake hands and the leaper goes back to wherever this thing thinks it's the spot you need to be. Don't know about where it comes from, though. Do you?
[Junpei makes a noise, acknowledging but not exactly... there, with Mikey, when it comes to being glad someone else knows how it is. That doesn't really make him feel anything at all besides a little bit worse, actually, now that he thinks about it; what kind of camaraderie is he supposed to find in this particular thing? Hmm.
Well, whatever. He considers.]
You get to choose...? [Like, okay, he also kind of gets to choose, but not in a meaningful handshake way. And then there's the issue of "changing" things, but he's not going to start in about different histories existing independently just yet. Mmph.]
I, uh, I just assumed some people are psychic. That's the easiest to swallow, I guess.

What you mean, fate of the world stuff?

(less stakes. still trippy.)
The apocalypse though? Really?
no subject
[And he doesn't even know there's a third time, but he'd be just as dry about it if he did—]
The first time was more like yours, at least I think so. Just, uh, without a curse, and only the girl who didn't want to die was actually "traveling."
no subject
(to which, he will toast to. it's rare on its own, and to find a similarity like this from a whole other universe is mind-boggling.)
How does your time-leap work?
