Aurora and DJ (and non-evil future!Jimmy) : How did it feel to see and meet your younger, alternate selves? Was it like suddenly gaining a sibling? Or did they just seem like stupid kids, dead weight? I mean, I know that without them both of you would be dead right about now, but what did you think of the situation? And, specifically to DJ, on a scale of 1 - 100, how surprised were you to see the AU kids appear at the end of your battle with Aurora?
AURORA: Well, to steal a phrase from Nav, meeting those kids was like going on the world's weirdest acid trip. They weren't dead weight, certainly - having them in tow gave me the same sort of feeling you'd get if you were to find and read your own long-forgotten diary. Except in my case, the diary came alive and the version of me contained within its pages began to judge me on everything I've done wrong in my life.
DJ: I'd rate my surprise at about 70.25. The number would be higher, except that I was under the impression at the time that I was suffering from some sort of auditory and visual hallucination.
(Future Jimmy hasn't really had enough time around the kids to form a detailed impression - perhaps after the next chapter he will be more qualified to answer)
Another specifically to DJ: What would you have done with the alternate-universe Jimmy had you encountered him before you got dosed with the antidote to the megalomanium? Would you have tried to win him over, tested stuff on him, let him go, killed him?
DJ: I would have questioned him thoroughly, taken DNA samples, made a copy of his brainwaves and cerebral structure, and then I would have killed him. Not cruelly, of course. I owe that much to myself.
And one to non-evil future!Jimmy: Are you planning on actually being genuinely GOOD, like you were before the...incident...or are you just going to do what you have to do (for basically the rest of time) in order to appease your conscience? 'Cause if you're going to start being 'ACTUALLY GOOD', then you might want to start not using scare tactics on fifth graders. I don't really blame you, seeing as how you only recently regained control, but...you know.
FUTURE JIMMY: I fear that it might take me awhile to get a firm grasp on what "good" actually is. I've long believed that morality is relative, so I may have to approach it from a numerical perspective: namely, what improves the lives of the largest number of people. Beyond that, I'm not certain where my atonement will take me.
To normal-universe Jimmy (the young one): What sorts of things do you think you're going to try to change in your own life once you get back to your own universe? (In regards to doing things differently, treating people differently, etc.)
JIMMY: Well, for one, I'll try to be more careful about who I test my inventions on. I think I should keep closer tabs on myself, honestly - I finally realize how dangerous I could be, given the right circumstances. I need to step back more often and ask myself, "what are you doing?"
I guess I could afford to be a bit nicer to Cindy too. I mean, she's earned it.
And a random one to Future Sheen: If you've been pretty much just locked in a cell for ten years (or so), how have your muscles not atrophied from underuse? (According to reliable sources, you are, in fact, quite buff now.) I mean, did you run laps around your cell, or what? (Apologies if the question's a little traumatic. Y'know, bad memories and such.)
FUTURE SHEEN: I wasn't just lying around in a dinky cell the whole time. Jimmy took me out to exercise and do tests and whatnot. I guess I should be more of a wuss from sitting around as much as I did, but I think that's one of the effects of the gene alterations or whatever - I stay ripped even when I sit on my butt.
...speaking of which, who are these "reliable sources" that say I'm buff?
