Action / Everglade

Uhm... I don't, like, even know who is Hitler. But I, like, get what you mean.

[The time traveler paradoxical dilemma isn't a new concept, sure, as far as she knows in her world there's no time travel but there is fiction that has dealt with it. And it's not exactly the same but the new Prevention system that some are trying to push for basically presents a similar dilemma as it pretty much revolves around arresting people before they even commit a crime.]

[As Rose speaks, it calms the initial fear that had set on her mind. The Doctor certainly seemed like a special case. And when the other says that vampires don't work the same way, Angelique releases a deep breath. And then...]

["Time doesn't loop their DNA to create a recombinated burst of energy to turn them into a different person with the same memories".]

[Isn't that, basically what she is? Except that she doesn't even have the same memories, because Angelique died. She has Angeliques body but... She's not Angelique and even this isn't really the same body, not with how it changed and recombined to become what she is now.]

So, if it's a different person with, like, the same memories, their past self could come? So, if I was, like, someone with different memories and a different body from before... The person that was before could come, right?

[The idea is simply terrifying. Not because of some idea of being "exposed as fake", that doesn't bother her, not here. It does worry her more in her world, because of the pain that the revelation would cause to Angelique's family, though if the revelation came through Angelique somehow appearing and being able to live with them... She could accept that.]

[No, the really scary idea is that Angelique was so different from how she assumed her to be through what little she could gather, that everyone actually knows back in her world that she's a fake and that they are just playing along. Because that would mean that all the posing, all the efforts she has made to avoid them pain were pointless. Maybe even that she only caused them even more pain.]

[As the conversation moves to Carver, she tries to focus on that. Remind herself of how nothing has really changed from the way things have always been since she exists. Ever since the police "rescued" Angelique and sent her back home, she had been having to cross bridges as they basically materialized right in front of her. This one is scarier than anything else so far... But it's also still one that isn't there yet and maybe it will never be.]

[No point in panicking over it. Even if the idea makes her feel as if she's lacking air.]

He did, like, seem happy when I told him I would stay even if things didn't work. I'm not, like, worried that he pushes me out, more, like, worried that he thinks that he's forcing me? Even if, like, I tell him it's not, I feel, like, he may fear that. Or that he's, like, taking advantage of me.

[She blushes slightly and looks away at the question about his age.]

I think he's, like, forty or so. He has a seventeen years old daughter so, like, he can't be any younger than thirty-six. I didn't, like, actually ask him specifically because, like, I didn't really care about his age.

[Rose really is an interesting person, she knows many people and she thinks a lot. And here she is, talking with her, trying to offer some help with her relationship when they have basically just met. And she's soothing as well, somehow, so Angelique leans back against Rose as well. Relationships are complicated messes.]

[And she's not even sure how she ended in one now. But there's no mistake she is in one, she never called Gaff "her boyfriend" and she knows he never called her "his girlfriend", it's always "partner". But she knows that Carver has called her that way and the mere idea makes her feel all stupidly giddy somehow.]

I don't, like, really think that hiding things is the answer for things to, like, be better. I don't even, like, have reasons to hide those things to begin with. Not here, you know?

But I just, like, don't know when to tell him and, like, start to get worried about all this stuff. Like him leaving and all that. I never, like, really worried about that stuff before. But he, like, makes me worry about those things.

It's, like, weird and I don't even know what any of this really is.
