There are a lot of questions and interests about other worlds lately. I have one question that I'm interested in right now. [ Alright, Ankain you can do this. Forget about that scolding Obi-Wan voice in your head telling you that the future is always changing. ] Does your universe-- do you believe in fate?

[ Oh, great. It sounds like a load of bantha dung when he actually hears it out loud. Awkwardly: ]

Destiny.

[ That doesn't help, which is fine. It's fine. It goes against the Jedi teachings and feels wrong just saying it. Nevermind that things are different with each universe, so it can't be really applicable, right?

Whatever, roll with it.

He adds, without pause, a completely unnecessary definition. ]

That certain things needs to happen in the future.

[Furiosa's first instinct is to scoff, but she does give him the benefit of thinking about it, about the course her life took, and what she'd seen in the Wasteland, before responding.]

I think if you started thinking like that in my world, you'd be dead. There's too much chaos, too many things trying to kill you, that if you start assuming there's a specific path already set up? You're going to get cocky and you're going to lose.

If you want to live in the Wastelands, you make things happen. [One way or another, whether it's adapting to fit in or tearing loose and running like hell.]

[ He shrugs and jokes, a cocky smile shows up for a second before it sours and drops. ] We're all destined to die. That's a path.

What's the Wastelands like?

[kill_switch]

Harsh. Hot. Everyone's fighting over resources. The world itself is dying; we're pretty familiar with the concept.

[sandhate]

[ The world. As if there's only one. That's giant hint to what world that is. ]

Let me guess. Earth.

[She just looks at him blankly for a moment. Yes, one world, but only a small corner of it. It's hard to think about life on a global scale when you can't even communicate reliably with the oasis next door.]

Sounds about right.
