...How do you keep things from happening just by knowing about them?

If we believe that time is a web of interconnected events, different strands ever stretching outwards from one starting point-

We exist along a particular strand, that is always duplicating splitting because of different decisions we make.

If you can see those strands- perhaps you are also able to cut them. Thus- if that strand is cut- it can't ever proceed to exist.

Are you sure that's how it works? Or are you... guessing about it?

It doesn't make a difference either way, but- I'm curious.

Its possible.

An educated guess, because magic is capable of great things sometimes.

And people usually have a reputation for a reason.

And when you're a criminal that's never caught- and if that Alias means who I think it is- that means you're a man who escaped The Holmes family whilst they were at their prime.

Three of the greatest detectives- one of whom was Psychic- and none of them could pin down an identity for the man. All suspects were cleared as innocent.

Jack The Ripper- The Whitechapel Butcher, was never found and never caught.

Despite one of his victims being Enola Holmes- the younger sister of those three detectives.

He would've had to been good- or he had an advantage, where he removed the possibility of being caught.

Is there any way to actually... beat him, then? He probably isn't very good in a fight, but that doesn't matter for much if you can't corner him.

I am probably able to best him in a fight, if he hadn't cut out all the probabilities of me winning.

But then- I don't know what he would or wouldn't have cut.

Generally, he'd probably have to be incredibly thorough to look at every single point of divergence.

There must be some that oracles tend to discard because they believe that they are too unlikely to happen.

He's only human after all.

Unless he's spent all this time hiding away, making sure that every single chance that he loses is gone.

Awfully rude of people to make fun of you for it, then.

Well, that's... one way of trying to deal with him. Try to come up with something outlandish he'd think was too stupid to be real.

I suppose he wouldn't expect me to turn up with my only weapon being an over-sized rubber mallet.

Rubber chicken could also work.

Of course- I may as well just arrive with an assortment of clown shoes and gag items.

Fight like that old vigilante from the 50s- The Clown of Justice.

Maybe I'll even dress up like a clown.
