[...He'd picked his username when they pulled him here because superheroes and people on the internet have one thing in common: secret identities. He'd also kind of assumed there wouldn't be any actual Avengers here. So he'd given them his wiki-editing handle, and he maybe regrets it a lot now, but at least he can make this post without his real name attached, or he probably wouldn't make it at all.]

Just a question, but if you knew someone here could tell you about your future... would you ask them about it? Would you want to know, or not? Would it make a difference if they seemed pretty uncomfortable about it?

[He's not sure he does want to know, honestly. But at the same time, Billy is being just a little weird about it, and maybe knowing would be better, in case he lets it slip later anyway. He just can't decide.]

I suppose that would depend on your preference for spoilers. Personally I am fine knowing or not knowing.

[There was nothing he could do about OFF's plot. It was what it was.]

What about you, my friend?

[notasaviour]

Well, I'd rather not be spoilered for movies, but your own life is kind of different, right?

[catdits]

Perhaps I am speaking in terms of my own world, ah ah ah.

[Video game and all. Spoilers are a thing.]

But that aside, it may simply come down to how one takes the news. And if the person you learn it from is dead set against telling you or not. It may be a sign of a particularly nasty plot twist, after all.

[notasaviour]

He's pretty set. If I kept asking, I don't think he'd be able to say no forever, but so far he's been working pretty hard at not telling me

But... your world has spoilers?

[catdits]

Then I suppose at the end it comes down to whether or not you find the information useful and if it's something you will or will not regret learning.

And yes, it does. Players tend to not enjoy a video game if they already know the twists and turns of the plot after all.

[notasaviour]

Which is something I'll only know if I know the information...

Sorry, I'm kind of confused now. You're talking about plot twists in real life, but then you're talking about video games. Unless you live in a video game...

[catdits]

It truly is a conundrum isn't it?

And yes I do! Quite a fun game, if I do say so myself. But that is why I use those sort of terms, so I apologize for any confusion.

[notasaviour]

That's one way of putting it.

You don't have to, it's my fault. It was just hard to believe, that's all. Would it be weird to ask what it's like?

[catdits]

Regardless I do hope you find your answers my friend.

And not at all. I am coming to the conclusion that it is unusual to claim to be from one. Although I do not find much difference personally, I do not mind any questions you may have.

[It's Zacharie's part time job to answer them, so to speak.]

[notasaviour]

I don't think it's the coming from the game thing that's weird as much as knowing it, maybe?

Does that mean there's a bunch of mechanics you know about too?

[catdits]

That makes sense. Although I hope the player finds some level of entertainment in my jokes.

And yes! I cannot make much use of them however, as I am just the merchant.

[No fighting for him, for example.]
