OOM: The World We Live In.

Fury is out back doing sit-ups. Rather more specifically he's got his legs hooked over a tree-branch and is doing sit-ups from that position, curling up toward the sky until crossed arms touch his knees and then relaxing until his head is again pointed at the ground. His sword is hung within easy reach of him, and there are several knives strapped to visible portions of his body.

He has a modern shirt draped near his sword, as purple as his armor, but his boots and trews are proper garments for a man of his time and place. He only wears modern clothing when he must.

"I would have thought so of myself," Teja says, "but what I found myself missing was not war itself, but the purpose that had driven me to it -- my people! It was always only the end that called for the means -- any means necessary!"

[hermajestysfury]

Fury pauses for a moment and then says very clearly, "I am not you."

[ostro_goth]

"No," Teja says. "And not much like me -- I never lived to be your age, for one thing."

[hermajestysfury]

"I am like unto only the other Furies of other worlds." Fury says, "None of me seems to die young, and all of me walk a path of blood and death."

He doesn't mind.

[ostro_goth]

"You know of other versions of yourself, in other worlds?" Teja asks, astonished.

He has heard of such things, and indeed, they make much sense, considering the shape of the many worlds -- but a man that would speak of them so casually, he has never met.

"I am mistaken for other Furies nearly every time I am here." Fury states with a shrug that doesn't stop him from his curls, "All of them named Nicholas, or Nick."

[ostro_goth]

"But you have seen none of them, yet?" Teja asks.

Pause.

"I have met men that share the same face, as if they were the shadows of the same thing, in different lights -- but not with the same name, or similar stories!"

[hermajestysfury]

"I have not, nor care I to." Fury says, "One of me is enough for any universe."

[ostro_goth]

"One would assume so," Teja says, with the earnest admiration for one that is much more dangerous and ruthless than himself -- himself, Teja, the most feared fighter of his people, among their enemies!

"Also, as long as universes do not cross, and none cross their boundaries, there would not be more than one of you in an one universe," he then adds.
