How familiar are people with the multiverse?

Any tips to spare?

[anewhope]

How many versions of yourself can someone run into?

[wiccant]

I lost count of the other mes I ran into.

So a lot.

[anewhope]

I'll make a note of it.

[wiccant]

Also if you see anyone you know, don't be surprised if they aren't quite who you knew or don't line up timeline-wise.

I have a friend here who is apparently from way in the future compared to me.

[anewhope]

I'm not terribly worried about that.

[ haha what friends. ]

But we'll see.

[wiccant]

I'm glad you're not worried.

What kind of tips were you looking for specifically?

[anewhope]

I wasn't searching for specifics. Just a feel for what others knew of it.

[wiccant]

I've been around the block a time or two but never really trapped like we are here.

I'd say just to try not to worry about it but I know that's impossible.

[anewhope]

What part worries you?

[wiccant]

We're here for one of two options, right?

Either we are here to try and prove our universe is worth saving, or we're here because someone is playing a sick game. If we're here to save our worlds, that's a huge weight to put on anyone, and definitely isn't something I feel like I'm up to or would ever be. And if I am, what if I mess up? What if I'm the reason everything falls apart? Or worse: what if I do prove my universe is worth saving but it ends up killing countless other universes because theirs wasn't also saved?

[anewhope]

[ hm. ]

You're not wrong in that it's heavy. But all the more reason to seek answers, isn't it?

[wiccant]

It's a work in progress.

I just mean, I get it if it feels like a lot because it definitely does feel like a lot.

[anewhope]

It is a lot and we're allowed to feel that way.

[wiccant]

So are you

[anewhope]

[ is he?

he's not sure. ]

Maybe.

[wiccant]

It's natural to feel overwhelmed when everything is a lot like this is.
You're allowed to feel that way, too. You were asking for tips, right?
Feel how you feel. Don't try and push it aside because then it'll only get worse.

[anewhope]

I'm all right. I can cope.

[wiccant]

I'm sure you can. Like I can, too, but it's still a lot.
Just don't feel like you have to take it on all by yourself, yeah?

[anewhope]

[ ha ha ha. ]

I'll try my best.
