Something I've found myself quite interested in over the last few weeks has been a question of...well, I suppose our existence.

Pardon me if this question has been asked before, I haven't seen it. I'd appreciate a summary of that particular conversation, if it has happened before.

Now, as a bit of background--I am from...a fairly significant amount of time in the future. I state that vaguely because there are rules against discussing it, we accidentally time travel often enough that there's protocol in place. But I feel fairly confident after my research that I am also in what I would consider a parallel universe. Those are also fairly well-documented in my time. (I must say this is far more pleasant than the last one I was in.)

Anyway. If all that is the case, I have to wonder: why do the divisions of god and shinki fall as they do? Whatever power brought us here evidently can reach through time and both physical and metaphorical space. Infinite realities mean infinite possibilities that in one or the other reality, we are either alive or dead.

Please keep all specific instances and examples private if you wish to give them. I don't want this discussion to be the cause of harm to anyone.

And that is why there are those like you, who focus on what is within reach, and those like me, who are not satisfied with such limitations. Pioneers of your own world are likely also of the second category. Others who will seek to break those limitations, reach every barrier modern knowledge has, and shatter them!

As I understand it this world is absolutely riddled with terrible diseases. Since doing so will not affect your timeline or world in any way shape or form, and thus not invoke the wrath of your temporal agency, do you intend to apply your area of expertise to the best of its possibility here?

There's only so much a cure spell can contend with.

Ones that we've largely eliminated by my time. So much so that I don't even know what we did to cure it, it's been so long.

[That's only partly a lie. Lots of genetic engineering. He is definitely not up to playing that much at god.

He could do it, theoretically, but opening that door would be too much.]

That isn't a flat 'no,' if you were about to interpret it as such.

It might be a worthwhile endeavor to attempt to reproduce those cures. After all it won't affect your timeline.

We're assuming, at this point.

Though we're forced to assume a great many things.
