Of course. Here's one!

"Thank you!  Umm, what should I call you?"

I'm Bar.

"Thank you, Ms. Bar."  And she pages through to the entry on her geminis.  (It's easy; it's the first one.)

 

....Hm.  She is not sure she likes what this has to say.  But it should suffice for evidence.  She hands the book to Mr. Doucet open to the page on summer solstices.  And then scurries away.

Huh.

"...what was that," Haru whispers to Kennedy.

Permalink

"It's a book with the basic astrological correspondences for each date, on my world."

Permalink

"...ohhhhh cool okay. Maybe I will read that if he takes his phone."

Permalink

"I don't know how it would work, but I think he might be one of them."

Permalink

 

"I am not doing especially well at guessing, apparently, but that doesn't make very much sense. Why do you think so? We just barely met him."

Permalink

"His initials are J.D., and he has curly hair, and... he really might not be, but if he is then he should really know.  They tend to make tragedies."

Permalink

"...there have to be millions of people with J.D. initials and curly hair on my Earth. Not in Japan because Japanese people have straight hair, but - wait, how does that work, are there kinds of people in your world who always have straight hair like that, do they just never have babies on that day -"

"It's a tendency."

Permalink

"Anyway he's from an Earth like mine, so it can't have lots of this going on, someone would eventually notice if J.D. initials people were causing a lot of tragedies even if it was a standup comedian before a scientist. So it would be..." sigh, "even more of a coincidence, but I guess it is not impossible."

Permalink

"When there are already things that look so much like enormous coincidences, it makes me think more of them may be more likely than things that don't."

Permalink

"Yeah. There is some kind of Coincidence Engine."

Permalink

Julien is kind of staring off into space.

Permalink

"Mr. Doucet?  Um, I don't know that you're one of these and also this book really isn't very nice.  It said some very unkind things about my geminis."

Permalink

"Did it say untrue unkind things?"

Permalink

"Ummm.  I don't know; I'm only eight."

Permalink

"...I'm going to lean into the side of me that finds that not worth trying to unpack, at the moment.  Did mine sound true to you?"

Permalink

"Ummmmm.  I didn't notice anything wrong with it but summer solstices probably would."

Permalink

"You already wanted to call the grownup me anyway so probably you should just take his advice when he gets here because I bet he is right about everything," comments Smol Haru.

Permalink

"That's cute.  - Uh, sorry, by which I mean he's really helpful, yeah.  He just got me through my awakening and it would have been, really just so, so much worse without him."

Permalink

"Ohhh you're a new esper."
