[IC] Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Sadly...
*Sighs*
That’s the worst part about the whole thing, from where I stand.

@Intrepid

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

@Legend

No matter what happens, all the people I care about will still put their lives on the line for everyone else when they don’t have to. And one day, there won’t be a miracle quite like today’s when something happens.

@Intrepid

Oh...
*Places my hands next to me in the sand*
Yeah, you're right. I think that when someone tries to carry the weight of the world, it ends up being too much. If everyone protected what they really cared about, we might all be a lot better off.

@Legend

Exactly. Then, people would overstep their boundaries less, and there would be far less conflict. But it was my choice, that’d be the world we live in.

@Intrepid

What do you care about enough to protect?

@Legend

Family and friends are all that really matter to me that much. I’d never let anything happen to you guys.

I like that. That's how we were raised.

@Legend

I can’t protect Isaac, or Dad, or Ruby, or Techi or anyone from what they want, though. I can’t stop anyone from fighting the good fight for all of Existence, even though I wish I could.

@Intrepid

My dad says that his priorities are us, then the Earth, then Existence. If protecting the latter would stop him from protecting the former, then it's not worth protecting.

@Legend

I suppose they have opposite philosophies then. For mine, it’s, “If there’s no Existence for us to live in, what good do my efforts do on Earth?” Earth being metaphorical, here.

@Intrepid

Sometimes protecting us necessitates protecting Existence. But it doesn't have to. He doesn't go to a lot of battles.

@Legend

I’d much prefer that, honestly. Any amount of compromise is better than nothing.

It's much quieter than you might expect... A lot of days just like this one is now.

@Legend

That is my dream, you have no idea. I wish we weren’t already multidimensional, so I could do one of those classic “In an alternate reality...” statements. About how everyone I care about just lives peacefully somewhere in Suburbia, happily ever after.

@Intrepid

Maybe there's a you out there who lives that life.

@Legend

If there is, wherever they are, I hope they cherish that gift.

@Intrepid

Wasn't your dad going to retire soon?

[Intrepid]

@Legend

Something, at least. But apparently something came up that was life-or-death. Still not sure what it is.

@Intrepid

Maybe you'll get that kind of life after this, then.

@Legend

I’m at the point where I’ll believe it when I see it, unfortunately.
