[sets down various weapons as stolen from Minato's under-the-bed armory. It is worth noting that he's chosen to relax at the bar, and that there is an opened bottle of whisky on the counter]

House fire in Kingston upon Hull, six-year-old boy dead. It's considered an accident.

Ethics in altering the past you know as a fact while back in time: discuss.

[drinks from his glass of whisky]

Or don't.

[and another drink!]

A word, Guv.

[raises his eyebrows]

Yes, actually.

[didorothy]

...Oh. Thank you.

Do you have any idea how we could go about it?

[he grows pensive, fingers lightly tapping the bar]

Your situation is unique - the very fact that the time line hasn't yet collapsed means that your presence was predetermined. Of course, if your mind dictates, in some part, the world you're in...

It's possible you're starting a new time line altogether.

[didorothy]

Is starting a new time line a bad thing?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Not always. Some...are infected, and need to be cauterised. Generally, those that don't occur naturally.

Others simply stabilise and keep on.

[didorothy]

Then I might be able to change things?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[a slight nod]

Yes.

Sam. What have you changed already?

As far as I know? I... stopped Vic Tyler from beating Annie Cartwright to death in the woods. I, uh, put Tony Crane away thirty years early and saved Eve's - his wife's - life that way. I hope. And, uh... There was a man. Edward Cramer. I think he was meant to get put away in a mental institution, but I had him sent to prison instead.
