We've all seen that going back in time and changing history is possible. So, if you were given the chance to pick anything, what would you change?

The event that forced mankind to flee this planet several thousand years before my time.

[breakin_ur_lore]

That sounds like a story.

[knightoflight]

I think the changes I would make would be too big to be possible.

anontext

[breakin_ur_lore]

Well...let's be hypothetical about it. What if they weren't?

For myself? Nothing.

If I could prevent the extinction of a handful of species, that would be quite worthwhile.

anontext

[breakin_ur_lore]

That would be. I had a couple of similar ideas...but I guess there's a few for myself that I'd do first.

If I could change anything, no matter how selfish it might be?

[breakin_ur_lore]

[Oh it's his bro...]

Anything.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

I already did, once - to stop the rise of one of the worst conquerers Earth has seen.

anontext

[breakin_ur_lore]

You did that? On this planet, or another one?

[weapabilities]

Everything.

anontext

[breakin_ur_lore]

That's what I started thinking, too, but I'd be busy for a long time then. Do you have anything that might come first?

[minded]

I would have been more careful.

anontext

[breakin_ur_lore]

That's probably something we all would do.

Careful about what?

[demonbloodblade]

Keep my mother from dying. She died in childbirth.

I'd have liked to have known her.

anontext

[breakin_ur_lore]

[Oh :( ]

I'm sorry for your loss. I never got to know my father...did you ever hear what she was like?

[satsujinki]

Nothing.

As far as I know, the world is bad enough. There's no need to add anymore screw-ups to it.

anontext

[breakin_ur_lore]

Well...does it have to be a screw-up? What if you knew you could fix something and not make it worse? [Geez, not a lot of confidence there, huh.]

[does she really want to talk about this?

... yes.]

I would try to save my family.

anontext

[breakin_ur_lore]

....me too.

What happened to yours?

[painfeels]

It'd try not to get kidnapped and turned into an experiment.

anontext

[breakin_ur_lore]

[Oh hey its Painwhhhhhoah that's an interesting thing to say. Should he....stop...hiding who he is for this? It sounds kind of personal. And yet she's not saying it to him, really, just to this anonymous person on the network. How do anon?]

You were experimented on? That's terrible.

[dawningsun]

Little point to changing the past. Why not focus your efforts, instead, on your present?

Or are you, perhaps, too cowardly to face your reality and would rather fill your mind with "what ifs" that do little to change your current situation?

anontext

[breakin_ur_lore]

[wow rude.]

The whole reason we're here is to change the past. Isn't it?

And you don't even know who I am.

[chittybang]

maaaaaybe whatever my dad used to cope after my mom died. there's no way he's naturally this crazy.

anontext

[breakin_ur_lore]

I'm sorry.

What sort of...crazy things did your dad do? Or is he just always crazy?

[Someone has finally found the button that reads text messages aloud to illiterate feudal Japanese teenage girls! She has been fascinated by this feature and is using it on any old posts she can find, but this one gives her pause.

There is so much she would change. So she says, with dark conviction:]

I would kill a terrible man in his sleep before he had the chance to become what he is and do the things he's done.

perma anontext

[breakin_ur_lore]

That's not always the unreasonable choice.

[He would rather not kill anyone, if at all possible, but he knew enough about the world to know that sometimes it was necessary. The hero always had to slay the villain, after all.]

What is he? What did he do?

[perdre]

Falling in love.

[And yes, he does sound bitter. Woe.]

anontext

[breakin_ur_lore]

You would change that? You regret it?
