Soo... I've been back home before. About a year ago, I vanished from this place for a month before coming back. I only spent a few hours in Arendelle, but a lot happened, and I guess I just... I was wondering if it's possible for things that you've already experienced to go different ways for different people.

I don't know if that makes sense. It's one of those things that would sound insane basically anywhere else, so it's hard to tell what's realistic and actually possible.

For the sake of clarity, uh-- Just. Something important happened, in Arendelle, and it saved somebody's life, and I just want to know that it can't undo itself. I can't see from here, from right now, so... I don't know. It's been bugging me.

I haven't been back to Gotham for quite some time. At least, from my perspective, your recent experience is somewhat foreign to me -- but from what I have observed, no. These things are not undone.

[malodorous]

Yeah. I don't think anybody's said anything about it. Even when it happened to me, it made me sure that everything was going to be alright back home, but... Maybe it's just pointless fussing, now that I'm stuck here while everybody else from my world isn't.

[enigmaestro]

It can be annoying, that feeling. Of being left out. [A beat.] Or left behind. I'm not sure what additional soothing you'd need, however, seems like you've figured out the more important pieces.

[malodorous]

I wouldn't say soothing is what I needed in the first place, but... Okay. Yeah.

I guess there's really no way of knowing anything, either way. There's just what already is, for now.

[enigmaestro]

Somewhat zen of you, I guess. Would you rather endure it here, alone? Assuming that indeed everything is fine and dandy back home for you -- and, statistically speaking, it probably is.

[orions_shadow]

Timelines are confusing and weird.

If you get stuck in a timeline that is altered there's going to be another one with events that happen like you remember anyway.

[malodorous]

... What?

[ More worlds? Multiples of the same? Is that what's being said here? ]

[orions_shadow]

This world we're in now is a separate timeline from my earth. From yours, probably.

But even in this world there's different variations of it out in the multiverse.

We have a company called 'Portal corp' in my world. They have mapped some of the multiverse out.

There's a whole world ruled by werewolves, if you can believe it. An' that's just one other version of my world.

[malodorous]

So there's different worlds, and then there's different version of those individual worlds? Is that it?

How do you know which world you're going back to? What if they send you to the wrong one?

[wasnever]

Oh yeah, things can be real different. Keep hearing all these different things about Thedas that aren't like the Thedas I know.

[malodorous]

Geez. I was hoping that sort of thing didn't happen at all. I hadn't really heard of anything like this until now.

[wasnever]

Maybe it won't be a problem for you. Other people I talk to don't seem to have the same problems with their boss suddenly being a male elf instead of a Qunari woman or anything like that. But my friends from home and I, we're all constantly confused.

I'd bug your friends if you have any from home here. Or wait until they show up.

[malodorous]

I don't, right now. That's kind of the problem. Maybe they'll crop up again, though.

Is everybody who comes in from your world like that? From somewhere slightly different?

[acclimatized]

Apart from getting pulled here, I'm pretty sure anything that happens back home is set in stone, Kristoff.

[malodorous]

That's basically everything I've heard and experienced so far, just... I'm trying to make sure.

I'm probably just over-thinking. First time for everything, right?

[acclimatized]

You said it's about saving someone's life, right? It's only natural to feel anxious about something like that. Especially if it's someone you care about.

[ john does not miss being in this position. ]

[malodorous]

Yeah.

I mean, I already saw what happens, and she was all right the last time we were actually in Arendelle, but... If things turn out a little different, that'll be that.

[boobwindow]

I think things will be just fine back home, Kristoff.

[malodorous]

Yeah. I hope so. You're probably right.

[boobwindow]

Are you that worried?

[malodorous]

I don't know. I mean, I guess, or... Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked, right?

voice

[glitchinthesystem]

Why worry about it at all?

[ Hi, he's here to be pretty unhelpful. ]

I mean, if you're just going to wind up right back where you left off nothing can really change, can it?

voice

[malodorous]

I don't know. [ And that's the answer to both questions, really. ]

It's pretty futile, but... It's just one of those things that doesn't make sense, but you can't help but to keep following through.

voice

[glitchinthesystem]

So, your answer to this is to just sit here and worry about something that's likely not going to change because it could somehow magically get changed?

[ Kristoff....really? ]

Maybe you need some kind of hobby if you're thinking up stuff like that.

voice

[malodorous]

Well, it's not like I can do anything either way.

And I have hobbies. I don't need more.
