What would you do if you could change the world?

I mean, if you could LITERALLY change it. Not just make small changes by doing something, or saving someone.

If you could write something and have it be true, what would you do?

Do you mean this world, our homeworld or one of the parallel worlds?

[writtendestiny]

Any of those things. But this one and your own, for clarity.

[tsuyoi_ame]

This one I would turn it into what it was. Clean up and repair all the buildings. Secure the dome so there are no more leaks. Make sure everything is available that everyone here would need to survive. And make a way for those who want to go home and those who want to come here instead could.

At home, I'd change it so I wasn't so carefree and followed through, then everyone would be safe and Tsuna could take over and change everything. There wouldn't have to be a second battle.

[writtendestiny]

So you'd want to make things better for other people, not just for you.

[tsuyoi_ame]

Yes, why wouldn't I? It's better if everyone can be safe and happy. It'd be selfish to think of just me.

[writtendestiny]

I suppose it's just surprising.
I don't have a very high opinion of humans on the whole.

[tsuyoi_ame]

Now now, we're not all so bad. Sure, there are bad guys out there but they can change. A lot of the guys we've fought have ended up allies.

hmmmmm thats a really tough question

[ She's never really thought about it, but whoever was in charge at Retrospec must have had to ask that question at some point, right? Since, you know, they could rewrite reality. ]

i guess the first thing id do is make sure everything is stable
so that my alterations dont break a bunch of other stuff
and then second i would get rid of seizure apples

[writtendestiny]

Seizure apples??

[livingdeadgirl]

yeah you know
those apples with the stupid grins
that jitter all over the place like theyre having a seizure

[ They have them here! It's just one of the many weird fruits you can find growing in the AZ. ]

ive never understood what the point of them is
theyre from my world did you know that?
some guy wrote them into existence as a marriage proposal to his coworker

[ By "my world" she of course means Recollé, she has no idea they're from Homestuck. ]

[writtendestiny]

Oh, those creepy things. I've seen those.

People could write things into existence where you came from????
I've never heard of that being true for anywhere else.

[livingdeadgirl]

wellll it might not have been writing exactly?
i never found out how they did it
but basically yeah
there was a company called retrospec
who had the ability to change reality to a limited extent
although primarily they had to use it to fix things that broke on their own
or that got broken in "reality storms"

[writtendestiny]

I've never heard of another place where something like that could happen.

What if we want to do the opposite of saving someone?

[writtendestiny]

What if you do?

[vosseeker]

Curiosity. Some people get up in arms at the mere suggestion.

[writtendestiny]

Yes, well, you could say I'm used to being disappointed.

So, go ahead. Be honest.

[vosseeker]

I would have snuffed Megatron's spark a long time ago, crushed the Autobots and led us to victory eons ago. Everything would have been different.

Literally, on a cosmic scale, it would have been different.

[writtendestiny]

And then what?

[Text]

[mustact]

I would make all of mankind truly equal. No one would have the power to exploit or mistreat anyone again.

[writtendestiny]

That sounds like a nice idea.
How would you do it?

[mustact]

Free all people kept in chains. Give everyone a roof over their heads and food to eat. In the village where I grew up, we shared everything. I don't think that would be impossible for the rest of the world.

[writtendestiny]

So, in short... you would get rid of greed?

[mustact]

[ Well ...

Thinking about it, a greed for money or power was the common denominator among those he opposed. ]

I suppose so, yes.

[writtendestiny]

[Hmm...]

Do you think that people can understand what generosity is if greed doesn't exist?
