*shrugs* When you meet the Transcendent Pig, you ask what's the meaning of life. Besides. Knowing what can't be known seems to be your thing.
hehe... well, I'll give you a hint. its a number larger than infinity.
That's the most non-answer answer I've ever heard.
*he does this thing where he laughs without sound* Well, infinity is a concept. you can comprehend it. the number of sessions in absolute total... well its far, far higher than the number you would get if you took the number of molecules in the human brain, and timesed it by the number of molecules in the human brain, over and over again a number of times equal to the number of molecules in the human brain. exponentially increasing exponents. it could not be comprehended.
I used to think a lot of stuff was incomprehensible. And then, I learned to comprehend it.
well then, take a perfectly isolated only 3 dimensions of space molecule, and then compare that to the difference of everything within a universe with every instance of every single moment possible spread across the 4th dimension, and thats about equal to the number of games in total there are. lots of people, lots of games, lots of universes, lots of realities.
Enough to make our own circumstances seem not particularly special.
ah, only if you choose to think of it as not special. its an important power everyone can possess. if you think of something as special, then it becomes special to you. its a simple, yet important thing to understand.
Yea. So, you planning on taking with the Page when you get back? Or will you do some more sightseeing first. There's a lot of places you could visit. Maybe the zoo, that could be fun.
Why should I tell you? I don't know you.
hehe... didn't stop you from talking with me. hmm... I'm half tempted to make you an offer I once half proposed to Sophie... about, 'if you could have anything be changed,' what would it be? i could certainly aid that desire. bring it to Light. hehe... Sophie refused by the way. a chance to not have been through the game at all with a 'normal' life...
...I'm leaving. *looks into the hourglass*
alright. sorry to have made you uncomfortable. say hey to everyone for me.
*he leaves as well, folding down the middle till he vanishes*
*he leaves as well, folding down the middle till he vanishes*
*Abby returns to the Capil world... and a little while later, relatively speaking, sends the following messages to Sophie's computer, for her to see next time she checks her laptop*

II: hey so...
II: before i left your world, i ran into av.
II: the lord of void.
II: i'm alright, everything's fine. he's a bit weird, that's all.
II: he started asking me about kyle and whether i thought i'd really made the right decisions and would like to change anything.
II: there's...really no point in thinking about stuff like that now. i mean, we can. and, i do. i have. for several years, if i'm reading my own timeline right.
II: don't worry, it hasn't been several years for you or anything, or even for the guys. just... just me.
II: because of time shenanigans and all. you couldn't tell looking at me--i don't think any of us are aging "right" anymore.
II: i guess that's why i wanted to get away for a bit. to pretend i'm as young as i look. to see new places and meet people who have no idea who i am.
II: there aren't any strangers here. even the capils know me, or at least, they have their myths of me.
II: i know i shouldn't be burdening you with this stuff. it wasn't all that long ago, for you. maybe a year? a year and a half, at the most?
II: you know. when we hurt you.
II: when we saved you.
II: when i killed...
II: ...
II: heh. we all caused so much death back then. but even from a distance, that one still stands out.
II: not sure why. maybe because...that was the end?
II: ahhh, why am i saying all this? i didn't mean to say so much.
II: i guess it's easy to just type to a screen.
II: you used to carry a notebook around all the time at school, remember? you just sat there in class and wrote in it. we all thought it was so weird.
II: maybe you had the right idea though.
II: maybe that's why you were the only one of us who thought twice about it all.
II: ...
II: i should just sign off.
II: tl;dr, lov is a weirdo, and thanks for the vacation!
II: til whenever, i guess.
