skonen_bladesThere are beasts that lie at the center of probability webs called Jarrows. They are many-armed beings that straddle possibilities. They lure victims to them. They live off of quantum energy.
A Jarrow finds a prey, someone who has a capability for greatness and a willingness to change the world. They isolate several probable futures and pasts of that person and then go to work.
By plucking the threads of an octave of dimensions, they can vibrate objects out of one dimension and into the other.
This means that the person that the Jarrow is focusing on will maybe find a photo album on their bookshelf that they’ve never seen before. Inside the photo album will be pictures that the person doesn’t remember taking, perhaps hugging or kissing people that the person has never met.
The person will be very confused. This is how it will start. The person will start to question his or her grasp on reality or at the very least, his or her ability to remember things.
Reality is perception so after that one reality is softened up by this questioning, the Jarrow gets to work. That reality string becomes malleable. It becomes a thread with which the Jarrow can start to weave, knit or even tie knots.
The Jarrow can shake more bits and pieces into that reality, maybe even an entire person. These objects from other timelines are called Jarrowbait. They are bread crumbs for the victim to follow, a path to danger instead of safety.
The Jarrow can weave into the next reality over. Maybe the neighbouring reality thread is where because the person was five minutes late catching a bus and the person met and married a lovely significant other.
By weaving the person that has no knowledge of that reality into that reality, the fun really starts. The person doesn’t recognize the significant other. The significant other is horrified and worried. They go see doctors. The person is diagnosed, medicated, possibly even institutionalized.
Other realities are woven in as they are unmoored from the stream and become tangible playthings for the Jarrow.
The person becomes a person living eight lives simultaneously, whipping back and forth between the familiar and the strange until all belief in a knowable, linear life vanishes. The person is insane by any measurable means usable in a non-quantum state of being.
The person perhaps does horrible things. The person perhaps becomes a drooling patient. The person perhaps becomes a genius. The person perhaps does all this and more simultaneously before……
…...popping out of all of the eight realities altogether like an eyelash blown off of a cheek. The person floats, free of linear time, pregnant with the possibilities of eight possible lifetimes, warm with the ability to touch thousands if not millions of lives in some small way.
The person can see all of the paths available shining below him or her.
The person is eaten by the Jarrow.
The Jarrow moves an octave down in the multiverse and seeks more food.

Date: 5 Jan 2008 06:43 (UTC)Pretty neat stuff indeed and I think a pretty cool way for my half-awake mind to make sense of the images my sleeping mind was producing. At least, that's how I see it now in the light of day.
