[Text/Anonymous]

[Text! And completely anonymous; although Dorumon is doing the writing, he really doesn't want to be easily identified. Other people used anonymous posting, so he can too!]

Is the future for other worlds predetermined? Is it for the Digital World or the Real?

Does knowing what happens, mean it will now always happen?

If you meet someone from your future, does that mean you can't change it any more, since it's their past, and the past can't be changed? If changing your future to help you, might hurt other people and their past, or maybe even remove entire people from existing, do you have the right to try to change anything at all?

Sorry. That doesn't help, does it?

Hope is really important. Sometimes it's good to be reminded of that.

I'm glad more people don't have to deal with this sort of thing.

~~They will if we don't stop this~~

[This anonymous person JUST SAID hope was good and here's Cam, being cynical.]

Yeah. It's weird.
Are you asking for people who know someone from their future? Maya came from my future, sort of. Not too far in it. It's kind of different though.
Sorry again.

It might be similar. Has she told you anything really alarming about your future recently?

It's kind of different.
I didn't want to just say it, but back home I'm dead. It doesn't really help your question. I probably shouldn't have commented.

Actually that's pretty much the exact possible situation. I'm not certain but for that level of upset I think death is involved.

I'm sorry you're dead. You're not dead here, so there's that much; are you going to try to avoid being dead?

Really? I guess we have a lot in common then.
This is for someone else, isn't it?

Yeah. I don't want to be dead anymore and I want to keep it that way. When we fix everything, I want to choose to go back and not wind up the way I was.

It involves a lot of questions and few answers. The people affected are my friends. Thankfully I am not time traveling.

With the information she's given you, you should be able to avoid dying that way, right? Nothing strangely good has happened because you died, did it? Lives saved, or sudden world-savings due to your sacrifice, and similar things? It's an odd question I know, but it might change things.

That's good enough. I understand.

It's not that simple. I died, then I came here. When I got here, I was dead. This world had to reconstruct me.

To answer your question, she said nothing good's happened even then. It'd be better to live.

Bad part: dead before getting here.

Good part: survival probably won't radically destroy the future.

So for you there's no reason at all not to do your best to remedy the situation and keep on living. That's nice and clean cut.

Exactly what I was thinking. There was a girl I was talking to with a similar problem. We were going to try and find a way to get home ourselves so we could make sure we were alive. I haven't seen her around though. Not since December.

I think she's probably gone.
I want to help you and your friends. I don't know any answers, but I don't want to go back to being dead.

[Dorumon won't admit that Sora technically might not be a friend, and Terra was still standoffish - all that mattered was he cared about them and this whole timey wimey bullshit. At least ONE person out there actually understood what he meant through direct experience! Not quite as harsh, but experience!]

Do you remember her name? Maybe I can ask around. She could be on another continent or island... or maybe she told someone about things.

It's good to not give up, especially in your situation. I'm sure a way will be found to save you. It might mean staying in the Digital World at the worst, but even that's better than dead isn't it?

I want to help my friends too. I'm just not sure how. I think if one survives in the future, the other might poof out of existence.

Rin Tousaka. Blonde hair, sharp tongue. She's actually kind of sweet though.
I really hope she's still here.

It'd be better to go home. My girlfriend won't go home without me, and she's got family and friends and a future back there.

That's tricky. I don't know about that. Maybe that's not how time travel works. I've never been good with it. Movies always confused me.

I'll keep an eye out, and let you know if I see or hear about her.

You have a future back there too. A way will be found.

Time itself is pretty tricky. You can't change the past, it's already happened. The future's supposed to be changeable though. I don't think the two were ever meant to intersect like this.

Thanks.

[He's just going to...ignore the second point, even though it's true. Cam knows as much, he really does. Heck he even believes it, which is a far improvement from a year ago. But he still wants to go back for Maya more, and he doesn't feel like discussing that much. Especially with someone anonymous.]

I don't think worlds were supposed to merge either. Maybe we have an entirely different set of rules now. Maybe we can keep some of the rules and still put everything else right.

[Dorumon will just happily assume he's good friends with Maya and that's all that's required. People had to be with their friends. What else was there to know?]

My friend had an interesting story about that, that all worlds were once the same world, and it broke up a long, long, long time ago. It's why humans are everywhere you go, and things like trees and cats are recognizable. I don't know if it's true, but it's interesting.

Do you think putting all the worlds back together, if this really happened before, would fix the time weirdness? Then everyone would be on the same schedule, and alive.

[YEAH. LET'S GO WITH THAT. Ha...]

That's a cool way of thinking about it. What about aliens then? I had a friend who would've loved to talk all about this when she was here. [He very much misses Jane Shepard.]

Maybe. I hope as much. Either that or we can control some of what happens to us. If being alive here cancels out what happened back there.
Dead people turning up would be weird for some, but it would be a lot better than us just being dead.

'Alien' just means from somewhere else. Technically every single one of the Chosen are 'aliens'. So it's all the same.

I think I've heard of dead people turning up here, not dead. It's strange but it's already happening. Anything's better than being dead, but it makes me wonder what happens to them when the Digital World is saved.

You know what I mean.
Or maybe you don't. Do Digimon know the kind of aliens we usually think of?
They're living things that are from other planets. In my world we didn't know of any, but there were some here before. They came from places other than Earth and could make contact with it and everything.

Oh. Wait. I see your point. Alien's really relative.
I think I just gave myself a headache.

I'm proof of that being the case. Some of my friends are too. None of us want to g back to being that way. That's why we have to find out or find a way to keep ourselves alive.
I just have no idea where to start.

Edited (font...) 2014-02-23 05:52 (UTC)

It is, yep. You're the space aliens now. You come from another planet and everything.

I think first.. saving the digital world should happen, as a primary goal. Not because the goal of living is any less important, because it isn't, but perhaps on the way of trying to save everything, a way will be found. We'll probably need strange and wonderful powers to do it, maybe one of those will help save you too.

You're right. We gotta have somewhere to go back to first so saving this place and everywhere else first is the best thing to do. And we'll find something to help along the way.

Hey. I know you probably don't want to say who you are since you're anonymous. But my name is Campbell.
