[Keeping this audio for now- he's not the previous iteration of him who was here before, he's the older and improved version.

Thank Aurora for that.

But he's going to play it carefully for now, not tip his hand just yet to see what he can find out about whatever trouble his past self was getting into.]

It's a pleasure to be here again- I've been told it's been a few weeks but apparently, time doesn't work the same way. If my math is correct, what has been weeks here has been years for me.

[And there is the whole different timelines/worlds thing but the one reassuring thing is that his alternate self is out there somewhere also making stupid reckless life choices.]

But I'm curious if anyone has experienced anything related to alternate timelines and parallel worlds- bonus points if you've met an alternate version of yourself either from another world or time.

audio _ un: castiel

I've had a similar experience, except that my counterpart was from my future. There was also another, different Castiel, from a branch timeline that was accessed by another angel in my time. I didn't meet either of them, but a friend of mine met them both.

He's here. And also from the same future as the former Castiel.

I wonder if Aurora likes to change out the versions of us to get the ideal version to try to save our worlds. Like we get a do-over to get the best version of ourselves here.

[It was a little worrisome if he is the best version of himself or just the best option across some kind of multiverse.]

In my case, I can understand the switch- at that age I wasn't exactly the best choice to try to save our world.

If I'm the ideal version of myself, the future must be bleak.

[ambitiousblond]

I know the feeling, my past self would say the same about me.

I haven't been able to figure exactly how they choose particular versions of ourselves, perhaps it's just a matter of who Aurora or someone thinks they can put through trials and missions and not just sit things out and let the world burn.
