Hello, everyone! I hope you've all been doing well. It's strange to think how long we've been here already, isn't it? But I feel like that's a good thing, too. Like we're finally getting used to living here... That kind of feeling.
[Speaking for himself, anyway - but then, Atsushi has his reasons for being happy with his life for a change. In fact, that's why he's making this video.]
If we haven't met yet: my name is Nakajima Atsushi! Mr. Evras has hired me to collect flora and fauna samples for the Simwe Institute. [That sounds nicer than it probably is: Atsushi's just a gopher, and he only works on commission. No interesting samples means no money.
But Atsushi could care less about that! He has an actual job, that he got all by himself, and he's so, so proud. It's that, rather than a desire for assignments and hence money, that makes him put himself out there.]
I know the Institute has hired more people, so I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself to everyone working there. If you need any samples, please don't hesitate to contact me! Whatever you need, I will do my absolute best to provide.
I look forward to working with you! [And he bows at the camera before turning it off.]

If this trend continues and you get caught up in our apparently endless pattern of apocalyptic scenarios, then I'm sorry.
no subject
Besides, now that we've all survived the end of the world at least once... I feel kind of encouraged. Like even THAT isn't really the end.
no subject
But the optimism is nice.
no subject
Excuse me, but.... did you just suggest that you may have ended the universe?
no subject
The second time, at least.
The first would have happened no matter what we did, I think.
And in either instance you come to the same dilemma where fate is involved and somehow averting those scenarios likely would have only doomed the entire timeline anyway.
It's complicated and I doubt this is a subject you were looking to have a chat about when you made a post to introduce yourself to your coworkers.
no subject
It's probably bad that it feels easier to logic these things when it involves other people...]
No... It's interesting to think about.
And if you're comfortable with your own role in that apocalypse - or the lack thereof - I can't really judge.
That said, I'd rather you not do it again if you can avoid it, fate or otherwise.
no subject
I've had a few years to come to terms with it all.
But yes, I think that's something we'd all prefer to avoid.
And I'm better equipped for such avoidance these days, so I can safely say that I will not instigate any additional apocalypses unless it's for the greater good.
no subject
Then, on behalf of all us refugees and the natives alike, I thank you for not destroying the universe again.
no subject
But you're welcome.
no subject
I don't mean to judge you at all, I just find that a little hard to understand.

I could theoretically foresee the end of almost everything and know it to be the best possible outcome, and that taking any steps to avert it would mean diverting from the alpha timeline.
And all alternate timelines, everything and everyone in them, are doomed by nature.
no subject
Regardless of what's right or wrong, I don't envy you having to make any choice like that.
no subject
It isn't what happened in the past and with any luck it won't be a situation that arises in the future.
Let's just go back to the part where you wete being optimistic and I hadn't dragged the mood down so much, hm?
That was nicer.
no subject
Even if it's not a very cheerful topic, it's interesting to talk about... and possibly important to talk about, too.
I'm glad you told me about it.
