Weapons experts.

Kind of without a weapon right now and not even sure if I should get it out of the stupid rock.

[His poor family heirloom. Even if it's probably safer in there than in his hands.]

I'm looking to build my own. It's a tradition where I'm from. I'm also wondering what made you choose yours? If it works for you, there must be a reason.

[Maybe not one of the more hopeful reasons he would have believed in the past. He's done with that. But one that makes sense.]

Stay on topic.

My answer is yes.

i mean probably
lbh
mine is a little different since it was on a planet specifically meant to fuck with me
but thats definetly whats happening here

bet youre actually heroic right
youd pull it out with your pure heart and all that jazz
a heavenly choir starts singing out of nowhere
you lift it up and inspire awe to literally everyone
thousands of bitches instantly at your feet
then theyre like
ok now
slay this dragon you are in no way prepared to actually fight
what are you like ten ???
sounds good
lead this army

[aurabble]

So you traveled different worlds?

I



No. [he's not heroic Dave he's just a dumb person who thought he could be]

I'm almost eighteen.

[stairsbro]

yes
at least eight give or take four moons
well two moons
i mean i never actually bothered with the other two
oh and the sun
cant forget that time i was literally in the sun
i am an astronaut
a three year mission hurtling through space at light speed
touring all of the fucking universe
then creating the universe
suck it captain kirk

right so what
magic swords dont give a shit how old you are

[aurabble]

So you're like some sort of god?

My sword isn't magic. It's just a family heirloom. And it only got stuck from my own stupidity.

[stairsbro]

damn
hit the nail on the head
just swing that hammer down

this i gotta hear the story behind
howd you get it in the rock
thats got to be all kinds of stupid

[aurabble]

...You didn't really create a universe, did you?

It's not stupid. The idea wasn't. Asking me to do it was kind of stupid. It was supposed to be a knightly attack but we went too fast charging at the rock and now it's stuck.

[stairsbro]

are you calling me a liar
do you know how hard it is to make a universe
fucking hard man
2/10 would not recommend

thats so fucking backwards
the knight is the one who put it in there
god damn
good job

[aurabble]

So you're powerful enough to make a universe.
That isn't exactly a small feat. Why are you here?
For a creator you're kind of all over the place.

I told you it was just a story.
I'm not a knight.
I just wore armor.

[stairsbro]

ok look
just because i did that
doesnt mean i control all of paradox space
im just a guy

right
why are you making a weapon

[aurabble]

Paradox?
Was that awkward? It sounds awkward.

Because I need a weapon.

[stairsbro]

its hella awkward
you want to avoid paradoxes
always
but thats just what we were calling the collective existence
or whatever
the universe
but theres more than one
what are we calling that here
multiverse ???

yeah i guess we all need one here
have you tried learning kung fu
and BEING the weapon

[aurabble]

What's a paradox?
I thought there were different worlds, not universes.

No. You mean like using your fists as a weapon instead of relying on one.
Maybe. I've never tried before.

[stairsbro]

jesus fuck
do i really gotta go into this one
ok paradoxes are contradictions
like
wise fool
fucking technically impossible right
but in terms of time
its when something happens that cant possibly happen
because then shit that already happened cant happen
like if i get a scar on like my hand or something right
but then go back in time to prevent myself from getting it
i made a paradox
because it i dont have the fucking scar i never would go back to prevent myself from getting it
and my existence is now moot
my timeline ceases to exist
i fucking die
are you following this
and theres different worlds in different universes
its this whole thing comprised of multiple alternate realities
and theyre all destroying themselves to make way for better ones
its this whole thing

could be worth a shot ???

[aurabble]

So time travel? I'm not sure if I follow everything but I guess I kind of understand.

Maybe. There's that gym that teaches martial arts or whatever.

[stairsbro]

just for me though
youre probably not going to be causing a lot of paradoxes
since you dont time travel
presumably ???

hey why not
better than sword fighting imo

[aurabble]

I know people who can bend time but nothing like that.
How long have you been at it?

Yeah. I guess it is. Less likely to stab yourself.

[stairsbro]

what kind of person asks the time guy how long theyve been doing time shit
dude come on

yep

[aurabble]

What
Did you lose track of time or something?

[stairsbro]

fucking hilarious
no
listen anon
i aint gotta tell you shit
and nobody needs to know the real answer to that fucking question
i dont even want to know the answer to that fucking question
but i do
thats for me to know and everyone else to stay blissfully fucking unaware of
i made three days last four fucking months one time
and that wasnt even in the current timeline
if were talking the full accumulation of collective paradoxical bullshit then youre going to shit yourself
so
in conclusion
a while

[aurabble]

Fair enough.
Sounds exhausting. Like you're looking forward to something, then some paradoxes happen and by the time you fixed everything you don't care anymore.
Are all time users and travelers cryptic jerks who think they can control everything.

[stairsbro]

that is not how paradoxes work
but it does in fact suck major
exhausting as fuck
i told you i dont control everything wtf
but yeah sure
were all assholes
im a cryptic jerk

[aurabble]

A paradox would lead to a new outcome? Or a new universe...
I know you don't. I said try to.
But you said you're just a guy so you're not as pretentious about thinking you can get away with everything like the other time bender I know.

[stairsbro]

right
ok
but i can just walk into a paradox
you have to force it to happen because your current timeline went to shit
what the fuck other time bender do you know
i bet the other dude probably is a prick
if hes fucking with time like its a god damn pogo stick
just hop right on and jump motherfucker
nbd
but no dude you dont realize that aint a pogo stick
youre riding a god damn jackhammer and now the sidewalk is in fucking pieces
and everyone around is covering their ears because the noise is making ears bleed
the god damn babies are awake and crying so the dogs are barking
noise everywhere
but this asshole is deaf so he doesnt even know the shit hes causing
leave it to the professionals asshole
you need a permit to use that jackhammer
he better not be doing that here

[aurabble]

But people who aren't time travelers can't force a paradox to happen, can they?
We're kind of stuck here.
I don't know the extent of his abilities.
Like I said, he's very cryptic. More cryptic than you. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what he was doing.
He was our headmaster. Out of the job now.
Would you be able to tell if he was?

[stairsbro]

they cant
but if you fuck up so bad that i have to go back and shove you in a better direction
its totally your fault
technically
huh
kind of ???
i mean i would feel it
things ticking out of order
but not know where it was coming from
