What path was that?

Well. By the time I talked to them face to face, I'd already gone on it. They'd given me a hint through someone else, first. [ complicated... ]

More like a time, really. I didn't know what it meant, but it was a start.

What did you have to do, on this path?

... Find a way to recreate the circumstances where I'd first heard that date on the date itself, to make it simple.
configurer: (Maddie_PSD (162))

[personal profile] configurer 2025-03-10 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, I don't think explaining it more would be clearer. It was just--recreating the day I first heard them on the date they gave me.

[ ????? ]

And... what did that achieve?
configurer: (Maddie_PSD (8))

[personal profile] configurer 2025-03-10 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Ultimately it gave me the power to change the outcome of that day.

[ dont worry about it. ]

To redo events that had already occurred, you mean?
configurer: (Maddie_PSD (34))

[personal profile] configurer 2025-03-10 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Sort of. More closer to undo, but. Close enough.
trifocal: (pic#17652567)

[personal profile] trifocal 2025-03-10 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
... Then, there was something you needed to undo? Did something bad happen?
configurer: (Maddie_PSD (5))

[personal profile] configurer 2025-03-10 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
... Someone close to me died.
trifocal: (pic#17652497)

[personal profile] trifocal 2025-03-10 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...

[ a sympathetic look. ]

... Then, could this power be used to save that person?
configurer: (Maddie_PSD (110))

[personal profile] configurer 2025-03-10 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I was hoping for. I didn't know for sure it'd work. But it did.

[ !! ]

That... that's wonderful! It must be a miracle.
configurer: (Maddie_PSD (68))

[personal profile] configurer 2025-03-11 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I think miracles are usually less work.

[ but it's teasing ]

In my religion, they are not.

The... sacrifice thing?
trifocal: (pic#17614725)

[personal profile] trifocal 2025-03-12 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Well... I mean, more generally. Our god is not one that grants miracles, but instead grants us the strength to make our own miracles.
configurer: (Maddie_PSD (177))

[personal profile] configurer 2025-03-12 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
What's the difference between a miracle and doing it yourself in that case?

[personal profile] trifocal 2025-03-13 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
The source of the strength, and the odds of success, I suppose?
configurer: (Maddie_PSD (78))

[personal profile] configurer 2025-03-14 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think it worked that way for me.
