How familiar are people with the multiverse?

Any tips to spare?

Give it another month.

[anewhope]

I'm hoping to pass on it.

[ been there, done that. ]

[cesspit]

Hope doesn't get you that far.

[anewhope]

It doesn't exist just to get you far.

[cesspit]

No, it exists to screw you over. I read Pandora's tale.

[anewhope]

that's an interesting interpretation of the myth.

[ very . . . edgey. ]

[cesspit]

What's your take on it then?

[anewhope]

That is beyond curses or blessings.

It simply is.

[cesspit]

Wrong.

The box was full of evils. She slammed the lid before the last evil could escape - Hope.

It's pretty clear it wasn't a blessing.

[anewhope]

Hope is the only good god remaining among mankind. Theognis of Megara.

Greek texts are subject to interpretation. You have yours and I have mine.

[cesspit]

All text is subject to interpretation.

Hope is a waking Dream. Aristotle.

What people tend to forget is that nightmares are dreams, too.

[anewhope]

Then I'm not sure why you would say it was wrong.

Unless you prefer to grind interpretations down to the bone? A singular truth.

[ You got him there. Now, he's annoyed. He could debate it, but really, he doesn't care enough. Maybe if he was trying to get under his skin. ]

Probably because you annoyed me.

Me and Hope. We don't get along.

[anewhope]

I had a feeling it was a personal bias.

[cesspit]

I've got a lot of those.

You're new here, aren't you?

[anewhope]

I just arrived. Among many others.

[cesspit]

You're the second batch. I was in the first.

Welcome to paradise.

[ That sure is sarcasm there. ]

[anewhope]

It's not quite what I expected.

[ silence. quiet. peace.

perhaps this is better. perhaps it isn't. ]
