[tablescraps]

Two years ago, probably. I was thinking of getting surgery for it. But I also didn't like the idea of people knowing I'd done it.

Now I don't mind it.

[tinged]

[ thinking about how in another life, they would have met a mithrun with a different nose. wild! ]

I'm trying to imagine you with a different nose.

[tablescraps]

( mr potato head mithrun )

I think I wanted a more defined face shape. Kind of like a model. So I probably would've gone for a more prominent ridge. But then I'd have to change other things to make it fit.

[tinged]

Well, if it would've made you happy... but I feel sorry for all the versions of me that did not get to meet you with this nose or this face.

[tablescraps]

Would you say that even if you'd met me with another nose and face?

[tinged]

The other mes would have said the same about me. Maybe they are busy saying it right now.

[ if that makes any sense. ]

[tablescraps]

Then you'd be similar in character in every universe.

I wonder if I'd be the same in every one.

[tinged]

Similar, but not the same! You're the only version of you who is exactly like this.

[tablescraps]

Then the likelihood of these two versions of us meeting must be low, especially if you factor in universes where we've never met.

( But they did, somehow. )

[tinged]

[ there's a long pause in messages. then: ]

I poured one out to all the alternative mes that might never meet you or Justy-kun. Should I do the same for the alternative versions of you and Justy-kun?

[tablescraps]

( oh )

You would enjoy drinking that, right? For my share, you should drink it.

Tylor would probably want you to drink it, too.

[tinged]

I'll tell him about this later. He might want a moment to feel bad for our alternative selves, too.

[tablescraps]

Do you think they feel bad for us in the same way, the versions that know each other?

[tinged]

If we're similar enough, then I think so. There's no guarantee because they aren't you or me. Maybe... they wouldn't be just right for each other in the same way Justy-kun is just right for us!

No matter what, I'd like them to be happy. And not empty. Or at least, not too empty. A little is fine, to make room for other things.

[tablescraps]

What would you put in the empty?

[tinged]

Justy-kun. Mithrun-kun, Morgan-kun. Gani-kun. Kara. Winter-kun. Vogel-kun is nice and warm, so I would make room for him. Hien-kun's dog. Oriade-kun's forehead kisses. Master's smirk. Justy-kun says a lot of compliments, so I need to leave some space for those.

And you, Morgan-kun, Mithrun-kun?

[tablescraps]

I don't know. My empty is broad and deep, so I don't know if all those things would be enough to fill it.

Who's "Master"?

[tinged]

Oh.

I didn't know we needed to fill it. Hm... that's hard...

@ fandaniel.

[tablescraps]

( ewwwwwwwww )

Why do you call him that?

[tinged]

Why not?

[tablescraps]

Do you like him?

[tinged]

[ well, it's hani. ]

wwwwww

I guess you mean outside of what I normally feel for everyone?

[tablescraps]

If you think it's notable.

[tinged]

[ mmmmmm. ]

Maybe a little notable. I don’t know him very well, but he’s unrelentingly himself. Unrepentantly so. I like that about him.

[tablescraps]

I guess so. I don't know much about him. Just that he seems to like it when people get angry at him.

Is that what you like about Tylor, too? That he's "unrelentingly himself"?
