Did you get engaged to a serial murderer?

[quickbuck]

no and i ALSO didn't get KIDNAPPED BY A GHOST so stop telling people i did

[jumpcut]

I am sorry, I didn't mean for people to think you got kidnapped by a ghost!

[heathclifflacey]

How do you figure?

[quickbuck]

have you ever predicted anything good?

[heathclifflacey]

NO. But that stuff's going to happen anyway. Divining just gives you a heads up.

[sheepish]

Is it really better if it's a surprise though?

[quickbuck]

ignorance is bliss

[sheepish]

I don't know... I'd rather be prepared...

[lilwitchhazel]

Nobody divined any of the crap last year and that totally worked out.

[nothalfplaid]

Are you suggesting the hypothesis that divination is in some way causing the events, rather than predicting them?

[quickbuck]

i don't KNOW, fern. i'm not a man of science

[quickbuck]

or whatever divination counts as

[heathclifflacey]

Magic?

[nothalfplaid]

Definitely not science. But we can still study it. Scientifically.

[odder]

What if the people divining these things are the ones doing them?
Was Paige the 6 foot man in the forest?

[quickbuck]

Oh my god. Heathcliff locked me in the closet.

[jumpcut]

That would make for a thrilling movie!

[insightfulness]

I kinda like knowing when I should be extra careful

[quickbuck]

always, apparently

[evercreep]

I almost prefer it back when I thought Divination was nonsense.

[quickbuck]

i used to not even know magic was real at all and my biggest problem back then was that my mom wouldn't buy me lunchables

[sylla]

It usually is a form of self-fulfilling prophecy after all.

[nothalfplaid]

So are you currently a supporter of the "prophecies cause the outcomes by their existence" theory, or the "diviners cause the outcomes intentionally to prove their prophecies" theory?

[heathclifflacey]

NOT REALLY. The predictions we make aren't always great because we're still learning and not all of us are natural SEERS but that doesn't mean divination's not legit. I mean, look at Mr. Chettri.
