that's ok-- tbh that's kind of the point. it's more about keeping in mind what reality means to you, based on your experiences. i'm as real as i need to be.
cogito ergo sum

[waverides]

I know that I'm real, and that my life was spent on the Waverider.
How real are these other lives? Are they possibilities or simply fabrications?

( she asks because she doesn't know. she has nothing to judge it against, no similar experience or other point of reference )

[shrinkage]

is there any real difference between them?

[waverides]

The experiences.
The length of my life.

( the fact that she was human, which gideon had already mentioned. her relationships, too. in some cases even who she was as a person, how she acted. so much was different )

[shrinkage]

right but i mean quantifiable. if that event never ended, you could argue the same point from that perspective.

[waverides]

If it never ended it would be the only reality that I remembered. This question or conversation wouldn't have happened.

[shrinkage]

and these are all questions i never thought of when i went home from wonderland.

[waverides]

You returned here.

[shrinkage]

that's true. do you think that factors into it in some way?

[waverides]

It is an event that distinguishes between the two lives.
Or multiple, with other events.

[shrinkage]

what if i don't actually view it that way? as coming and going, i mean.

[waverides]

How do you view it?

[shrinkage]

i'm not sure. it just seems like a bad system, especially if time really is wibbly wobbly.

[waverides]

I'm not certain that there is a good system to this.

[shrinkage]

idk seems like some parts work very well
even if they're part that we hate

[waverides]

Which parts do you believe work?

[shrinkage]

for one, the memory glitches seem regular despite feeling kind of chaotic.
the influx and release of people seems random, but reliable.

[waverides]

Random and reliable are not synonymous.

[shrinkage]

i didn't say they are
