devourthemfirst | Second Misfortune

[After a short trip to the grocery store, Czes comes back to the fifth floor of building seven and sets out the box of spaghetti and can of tomato sauce out on the counter. Despite how Firo made him paranoid about eating the food here, the kid has to eat something.

So as he puts a pot of water on the stove for himself then sits down at a near by table. He stares out the kitchen window for a few minutes, watching the storm outside when boredom strikes him and he pulls out his journal]

You know, it's strange. To think that a lot of us are from 'Earth' and yet they're not the same 'Earth' that each of us are familiar with. For example, someone could be from... I don't know, let's say Tokyo since a bunch of you appear to be from Japan, but it won't be the same Tokyo you know. In some way, it'll be different.

Things never happened the way one person knows it did in their version of Tokyo.

What would that be called again... parallel universes, right?

[He places some of the spaghetti into the pot of boiling water and turns down the stove a little]

So do you think that there might be like... another version of us on our different versions of 'Earth'? It's kind of exciting to think about actually. They'd have different memories, friends and maybe family...

I wonder what would happen if we ran into our other selves on this trip the Malnosso were talking about.

Would the universe just go BOOM? [He throws his hands into the air then chuckles a bit to himself]

Well, it was just a thought. [ ... ] What would you do if you could meet another version of yourself? Would you envy them for having a different life--for being set on a different path?

...Askin' the tough questions, aren'tcha?

I don't think they're that tough. I think it's just you who believes that.

[Seriously, Czes? Remember who feeds you back home!]

...Oh, c'mon.

[He sighs.]

Why're you thinkin' about this stuff, anyway?

[Please he can make his own food]

That Malnosso entry a while back got me to thinking about this stuff I guess.

...You're not plannin' on goin' are ya?

I might. I haven't decided quite yet. Are you?

Really?

[He would have thought Czes wouldn't want to trust himself to the Malnosso. But now that he thinks about it... It could be nice to get a chance to continue his search for Ennis. Now he feels like a hypocrite for considering it after freaking out at Seto.]

...I'm not sure either.

Yeah.

[He's surprised you didn't immediately take the offer to go home, Firo. especially with Ennis back home]

Well don't you want to go home and see Ennis at all?

Of course I wanna see her!

[Why is he yelling? Firo has no idea. He sighs and lowers his voice to its normal volume.]

But I still gotta find her first... I don't trust these guys. Somethin' bad'll happen, if I even made it home in the first place.

I see. So you don't even want to take the chance and try to find her. I'm surprised at you, Firo.

[Trololol]

[There's the sound of Firo's fist slamming on the desk.]

What I don't wanna risk is leadin' these bastards right to her! What if when I find her they just drag her back here with me?

[Surprisingly, he's actually thought about this. No matter how much he wants to be with Ennis, he doesn't want her subjected to what goes on in Luceti.]

I highly doubt they'd do that. Their intention for this little experiment is to send us home for sight-seeing. They don't seem to like it when more people get dragged here.

Besides, if they wanted to take people from our world at random on this trip, it wouldn't be someone that they can't find.

That's just what they say. Who knows what they really want from this?

They want information, if anything. Not people.

I still don't wanna give 'em any help.

[You can practically hear the pouting in his voice.]

You're such a child. [He chuckles]

A chi-? I am not!

Then stop pouting and being a baby.

I'm not! Don't tell me you actually wanna help out the people who kidnapped us.

The more information they get, the more information we get in return.

What makes you think they'll share it with us? Just 'cause we help 'em find stuff out doesn't mean we'll know enough to piece it all together.

I didn't mean that they'd be the ones giving it to us. Going to another world means we get to experience new things first hand, we gain more knowledge and information that way.

[...Why does Czes have to come up with all the good arguments?]

...Maybe. I still don't trust 'em.

Suit yourself then. [More information for him]

Fine.

If ya do decide to go with somebody, tell me, okay?

[It's probably too much to hope that Czes will specify who, but at least Firo knows if Czes will be gone or not.]
