<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Tier Five is a class of beings that ensure that Existence continues to run smoothly. They make sure the timeline doesn't break down, that universe don't start engulfing others, things like that. I'm not one, so I don't have all the details that someone like my brother could give you.

<Snipped quote by Source>

Wait. There are people with the power to literally run parts of existence?

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

I guess it depends on how you look at it, but yes. It's called the System.

*Is just quiet and looking completely dumbfounded for a while before slowly grabing a cell phone out of thin air.*
Gai'thira idg halse...
*turns the cell phone on and calls someone.*
Hey Dead Rav, I need you to execute the plan.
...
Yes, I'm talking about that plan.
...
Thanks. I'll keep in touch if possible.
...
May the Abyss never catch you too buddy, Flatlining now.
*Ends the call.*

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Sorry, is something wrong?

<Snipped quote by Source>

No, just decided now would be the time to set that fake death plan I told you about into motion.
Because I'm in way, Way over my head at this point.
*Sighs, still looking relatively unnerved about what she's heard.*

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

I think you may be freaking out a little too much about this. You really shouldn't do that to your parents.

<Snipped quote by Source>

*I set my right alight with a black flame and put the cell phone in it with my left, it slowly turning into a pile of dust that spills onto the floor.*
It's a bit pointless for me to try and turn around now.
After all, the plan was made to continue on regardless of if it was a false alarm. I may not be in a situation where the call was necessary yet, but I am at a point where that might happen at any time onwords.
Either way, I'd rather put them through it once and be done.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

*Frowns*
Why do they deserve that though? You could always go back and visit them.

<Snipped quote by Source>

They don't deserve it, but I'd rather they think I'm dead so that they have a smaller chance of getting caught up in my problems when they should be living their lives as peacefully as reality will allow them to.
I have no plans to go back and visit them.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Isn't not getting them involved as simple as not telling them?

<Snipped quote by Source>

If this were at the scale of what I consider normal, yea.
But the last thing I want is to have one tiny connection that someone finds and uses against me by dragging them into it.
After all, I'm at a point where they wouldn't be able to deal with what I previously knew and I'm unlikely to be capable of dealing with what I now know.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

You mean Tier Five? They don't want to hurt your family. And isn't the chance of someone finding them the same whether or not you fake your death?

<Snipped quote by Source>

I'm not worrying about Tiers, whatever those are.
I'm worrying about potential future enemies.
The chances are much lower if you decide to burn the connections to your past life and scatter them to the wind.
Heck, Dead Rev was a temporary name that no longer exists, the plan kills me like any other person, and all my current connections only know of the entity called Flicker, with my past ones only knowing my dead names.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

I think you might be panicking over something that's not as dangerous as you think. Or, at least, isn't much less dangerous now.

<Snipped quote by Source>

I'm not panicking over now, at least not anymore.
But the plan wasn't designed for now anyways, it was designed for later.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Isn't it a little unfair to the ones you love?

<Snipped quote by Source>

Is putting them in unnecessary danger, disturbing their lives, and the lives of those that they care about because of your potential current and future actions any less unfair?

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

How would anyone realistically hurt them?

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Sighs*
How I plan to live my life and how you plan to live yours are two completely different things with different consequences. I'm just trying my best to midigate the potential consequences of my own. Besides, this is one of the kinder things I've thought up, and they'll probably be able to move on after they've grieved.
