[ Hisoka has found something to entertain himself with, and that entertainment will probably only last for a few days at best. ]

Um, this is a little embarrassing to bring up at this point, but...

I've actually met so many people here in another world. I didn't know how to talk about it to them, so I just acted like we were meeting for the first time. I wonder, was that wrong? Should I reach out to the people that I knew?

But ... a lot of them did terrible things in that other world... would it be better if they never knew what happened?

[ Which is to say, he didn't realize the potential of fun to be had in pretending he knew people from another world when he has only ever traveled to this one. ]

I think I'd be tempted to tell them.

[nobodylikeshim]

Why???

The circumstances that I came from were difficult. I'm sure that they wouldn't do the things that they did there. So....... why tell them what happened???

[penpoint]

Because I'd want to know something about me. Seems rude to hide things you know about someone from them.

[nobodylikeshim]

[ Hmmm, hmm, hmm!! ]

Ok...
Then...okay. I met you in another world.

[ What would be the funniest? ]

We were brought to fight a war. That's why everyone...... you had taken over a city and controlled everyone to fight for you as you sat on a throne out of harm's way. It was really, really scary.... you wouldn't do that here. I know you wouldn't. You see! It isn't the same.

[ He turns his head and lets out a sharp laugh. ]

[penpoint]

You can tell who I am just from my screenname, anon? It means we've probably met before.

[nobodylikeshim]

Not only that, but I saw you post a few times, too.
I'm sorry I didn't say anything sooner. I wasn't sure what to say.......

If you're friends with them here, then give them the choice of whether they want to know or not. If you don't really talk to them here, then don't bother. There's no need to make things weird for them.

[nobodylikeshim]

[ UNACCEPTABLE ANSWER. He will drum up fun however he wants!!!!! ]

Maybe...
I've been wanting to live differently now that I'm in this place.
Maybe letting go of all that will be a good way to do it..........

[sheisthewind]

[Sorry Hisoka, she's too blunt and gives too few fucks.]

Probably. This world is an easy one to live in. You might as well take advantage of the freedom you have here and do something you've always wanted to but didn't get to try before.

[nobodylikeshim]

Right?
I feel like I'm returning to who I was.
Going to a world at war was really scary.
Everyone acted scary, too.
So being in this world... I'm sure... they won't become such people, again.

[ Hisoka snaps his fingers as he figures out who the person he's pretending to be is!! A otome protagonist!! Every-day girl with nothing in her head but beloved for her cute-pure-self. Ah, so, that's how it is. ]

[sheisthewind]

It's peaceful here and it's easy to get money from generating Chroma, and there are plenty of people who will volunteer to spar, so the only people who are going to do horrible things are the people who would do them no matter what the circumstances.

[mingyues]

Why would you not tell them? Surely they have a right to know and stop themselves from making the same mistake?

[nobodylikeshim]

But the events that lead them to make such mistakes... they may never happen here. So, isn't it better that they don't know??

Everyone's so kind here....... I don't want to hurt them........

[ Hmm? Is that too many ellipses? Eh, it's probably fine. ]

[mingyues]

Maybe. Maybe not, it is difficult to see how someone has changed or not.

I am not sure the decision should be solely in your hands. My future - the future I have back home - if I know will it change anything if I go back? I do not know, but I wish to take care of the people I love. If not knowing the future helps me do that then so be it but that is a decision I took. It is my future.

[nobodylikeshim]

Then, you're really REALLY of the mind to never tell anyone of their future or how they were in another time?

[mingyues]

Maybe. I think it should be the decision of the person whose future you know.

If it happened in another world, then the person you knew then and the person you met now might not truly be the same person. We're all from other worlds to begin with. It's not hard to imagine that there could be different versions of the same person out there who only share surface similarities.

However, for your peace of mind, I don't think it would hurt to bring it up to them. Even if they're not the same person, that past is still going to weigh on your mind. Talking about it won't hurt.

[nobodylikeshim]

Even if... they became murderers in another world? Even then, you think I should say something?

[winepouring]

You don't need to tell them everything, but in doubt, let them be the one to choose. You don't need to reveal graphic details just to find see if they're the same or not.

[nobodylikeshim]

Really? Why? You believe in people that much?

[winepouring]

Isn't it better to believe in them than to assume the worst? Besides that, if they haven't done anything wrong here, then there's no reason to think that they'll suddenly change.

[trivialization]

You remember them but they don't remember you? How one-sided.

It's pointless to worry too much about what happened or will happen in other worlds. You can find plenty to worry about without making people responsible for things they only did in another sequence.

[nobodylikeshim]

I think so, too... I don't know what to do. To know someone and have them not know you, to have memories with them but have them not share them...

It makes it feel like all of it didn't matter... you're right...

[trivialization]

If the material universe is cruel and uncaring, the greater extent of reality is a nihilistic infinitude of realized and unrealized possibility. It's all very sad. Maybe you can get some of your girlfriends together to watch a movie and eat ice cream.

[nobodylikeshim]

[ Blah, blah, blah. ]

That really won't solve anything...

You don't think any of this means anything... You've not been in this position so you can say these things, but... I'm the one that's suffering from it. [ Boohoo, boohoo!!! He thinks that being anon isn't that fun, though, and thinks he'll just get into posts later and act like he knows people. Mm! Act like a soft-hearted maiden is kind of funny, though. ]
