Re: [267, 7pm]

[I *can't imagine the character doing it]

Yes, he's the protagonist.

Or, his vision guy is the protagonist. But he's pretty heavily embraced the visions.

Re: [267, 7pm]

[makedown]

...So it's like a story within a story? He's a fictional character in your visions, but then fiction becomes reality there, and so does he? And he goes from being the protagonist to becoming a support character in your visions?

Re: [267, 7pm]

[thefaultinthestars]

You've got it.

I don't know the full details, but my vision guy and his vision guy reach the end of the story together, somehow.

Re: [267, 7pm]

[makedown]

[the math is mathing while they talk]

The end of the story, but not the end of their story, right?

Re: [267, 7pm]

[thefaultinthestars]

...according to him, this is the sequel.

Re: [267, 7pm]

[makedown]

This, as in the non-vision you?

Re: [267, 7pm]

[thefaultinthestars]

And him, yeah.

Re: [267, 7pm]

[makedown]

[she closes her laptop and sighs]

That reminds me of a conversation I had a few days ago. I hope he doesn't find it offensive if you don't agree, at least.

Re: [267, 7pm]

[thefaultinthestars]

...did you offend someone by not agreeing?

Re: [267, 7pm]

[makedown]

Yes.

Re: [267, 7pm]

[thefaultinthestars]

Was it Yue?

Re: [267, 7pm]

[makedown]

Of course it was Yue. He's the one who has me in his memories.

Re: [267, 7pm]

[thefaultinthestars]

You were being pretty coy about him before.

Re: [267, 7pm]

[makedown]

Not coy. Respectful. You still knew, and I knew you knew.

Re: [267, 7pm]

[thefaultinthestars]

So now you're done being 'respectful'?

Re: [267, 7pm]

[makedown]

I heard those quotation marks.

Re: [267, 7pm]

[thefaultinthestars]

I wasn't being subtle. And you're dodging the question.

Re: [267, 7pm]

[makedown]

I'm done being respectful. Who takes offense when someone doesn't believe the unbelievable?

Re: [267, 7pm]

[thefaultinthestars]

[haha]

That guy is pretty delicate. Don't tell me he told you this was a sequel?

Re: [267, 7pm]

[makedown]

No, not a sequel. That would mean the previous story is over.

I don't fully understand what he thinks.

Re: [267, 7pm]

[thefaultinthestars]

He's not very good at explaining, either.

[Considers]

But there is someone here who apparently was badly hurt by the fact that when I first started getting visions, I was critical and suspicious of them. That person went on to completely abandon the life he's been living here to fully embrace what he saw in his visions, and claims to be ok with the fact that I haven't but also can't stand being around me because I'm not pretending to be the person in his visions.

So it might be a little like that. Some people get really attached to them really quickly.

Re: [267, 7pm]

[makedown]

That was the ex, right?

Re: [267, 7pm]

[thefaultinthestars]

That's the ex.

Anyway, Yue probably isn't as bad as Shasa but he's definitely attached to the visions.

I don't know what all he's seen of you in them, though.

Re: [267, 7pm]

[makedown]

I may never know either. I made it clear to him that I'm not whoever he thinks I am, so I suspect we won't speak again.

What did you do to him, by the way?

Re: [267, 7pm]

[thefaultinthestars]

You're trapped on a boat with him now, you'll definitely speak again.

What did he tell you?
