So there's another version of me out there in the multiverse?

...I need a drink.

How heavy is "far too heavy?"

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

That's an oddly specific question. I wouldn't know.

. . . I haven't heard anything about your counterpart, Sir Lyle. Did he come from an interesting place?

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

Well, ah. It was...right after World War II. Apparently the other me got a Victoria Cross for his sniper work during a siege in northern Africa.

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

I shall go out on a limb and assume the Victoria Cross is a medal awarded to excellent soldiers. Congratulations, Sir Lyle. Or rather, Other Lyle.

. . . But wouldn't that make him from your past?

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

The Victoria Cross isn't just a medal. It's the highest honor that can be awarded to a soldier fighting for the British Commonwealth.

Maybe, maybe not. I mean, sure, it's possible I had an ancestor with the same name almost 300 years ago, but I think I'd know about it if he got the Victoria Cross. And we've got plenty of alternate versions of Earth, and World War I occurred in at least one of them, so saying that most or all of them went through World War II wouldn't be a stretch.

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

Even more impressive. It seems you are fated to accomplish great deeds in any world, Sir Lyle.

That's very true. It seems strange enough that there are other worlds in existence, but the thought of several Jugdrals existing simultaneously . . . In my mind, I tend to compile all the Earths into a single world.

Hey, come on! A red face won't go well with my jacket.

Well, I guess anyone not from some version of Earth would do that. Though to be fair, there are so many versions of Earth that I have a hard time keeping up.

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

That's quite alright. Your hair already clashes.

If there are multiple Confuto Ordinatios scattered throughout the dimensions, perhaps it's simply that this one is, er. Somehow connected to the multiple Earths to receive the majority of outbound agents there. Or something along those lines. And it does seem like the majority of those who recognize others as fictional characters hail from an Earth, as well.

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

...Ouch.

Whoa, whoa, wait just a second. There are worlds that other people recognize as fictional?

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

. . . You may wish to speak with Councillor Kazumi. She has identified at least six or seven worlds as fictional media on her Earth.

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

That's...geez. I can't even wrap my mind around that.

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

Mine was luckily not among them. But surely you've noticed already? Those vile publications in the Marketplace, and the models and figures that they sell as well. There are even manuals for things called 'video games'.

I suppose it doesn't make much of a difference, anyway. It's simply ridiculous to claim tell someone that they're fictional, regardless of their standing in your own world.

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

Actually, I haven't been to the market too much. I did notice a model of Cherudim, though -- I thought they were just for military nuts who didn't care what side a machine was on as long as it was cool.

Yeah, that's kind of...uh...tactless to say to someone.

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

No doubt that's wise. The next bill I propose will be to censor any of this 'doujinshi' nonsense from the eyes of the innocent.

There are giant robot fans in your world? I'd have thought it would simply be considered a normal occurrence.

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

Well, there are weapon enthusiasts, right? Mobile suits are just another kind of weapon.

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

I suppose. But we don't usually make tiny models of our swords to display on the shelves.

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

Not in my world either. Stuff like swords and guns get replicas made of them. It's things like ships, fighter planes, and mobile suits that get models.

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

Hm. Of course -- That's an obvious point. My apologies. From time to time, I am contrary simply for the sake of being contrary.

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

Hey, I do it myself from time to time. No worries.
