time travel texting.

THE BIG FAT TIME TRAVEL TEXTING MEME.

How does it work?
- You post your top-level as usual.
- People reply, but the catch is, magical shenanigans intervene and poof! You're getting a text from someone you know, but it's 3 years too early or 10 years too late! What spoilers will you learn? Will you accidentally reveal some of your own?
- You can use this to explore forward-dated scenarios or have characters interact before they "met," or at least before one of them knows they met.
- When you reply, notate in the header when your character's tagging from.

do you still have the rings?

[squelch]

rings? rings, rings, rings...

which rings?

[gunflowers]

what do you mean, which rings? the wedding rings!

[squelch]

oooh, who's getting married? yes! i've been waiting for this!

[gunflowers]

ten. tennie. ten darling. are you kidding me right now? i don't need this today, seriously, i'm anxious enough as is!

you told me you'd keep the rings safe, and all i had to worry about is writing my vows

[squelch]

vows?

myung? myung's vows?

wait, you're getting married???? i have to tell everyone!

[gunflowers]

yeah, my vows, who else's?

!!!! why are you acting so surprised? it's been in the works for like, a year! everybody already knows, everybody's already coming, you've been helping decorate all of yesterday! are you having amnesia?

[squelch]

a year?? you've only been dating like, a few months! four? five? how many is it...

i forgot. maybe i really did hit my head! but i didn't forget a whole wedding being planned!

[gunflowers]

What? We’ve been dating for like, three years now. We’ve been engaged for ages, Ten, what’s with you? I really don’t need this right now, you know, I’m nervous enough as is.

[squelch]

i must've taken a really long nap.

you and dal have definitely not been dating that long! and i definitely didn't know you were getting married. i mean, i hoped, because you're perfect for each other, but i didn't know anything about a wedding!

i would've gotten a new suit.

[gunflowers]

but we have, though. and i talked to you before i proposed, you told me to go for it. and then i asked you and minsu to be my best men, and minsu cried? do you really not remember?

there's no way you'll remember where you put the rings now, shit

[squelch]

ahhh, this is terrible! i got amnesia at the worst possible time!

okay, let's think. where would i put them? even if i don't remember things, i'm still me. i must've put them somewhere i knew they'd be safe.

they're probably with kwang.

[gunflowers]

with kwang? can you make sure? they're very special rings, you know, sage made them for us

[squelch]

i'm going to check right now!

sage makes nice things. that's a good choice! kwang does too though, you know. he made me bernard.

[gunflowers]

kwang's helped with the decorating and he's made us some special flower crowns, so yeah, i know

ten, are you sure you're okay, you're good to do this? you can just sit with everyone else if you don't feel too hot, i won't get offended

[squelch]

that's so good of him. he's the best! i love him. and i love you and i wanna celebrate with you!

i dunno what's up with my head, but i wouldn't miss your special day for anything!

now, let's see, where in kwang's room would it be...

[gunflowers]

ten

a little question

what's the last thing you remember? like, about dal and i? because i still think it's weird that you've forgotten all of this, we've been talking about it for so long

[squelch]

um, let's see. well, you left and he was really, really sad about it. but then you came back! and he was really happy again.

[gunflowers]

that's the last thing you remember???

[squelch]

yep! you just got back and dal is smiling again. well, you know. he doesn't smile a lot, but you can tell he's happy. it's in his eyes.

[gunflowers]

actually you can see it with the hair, since he takes my power. but... yeah, in the eyes too. he smiles a lot more these days.

but that was a while ago, now

[squelch]

i used to think i knew all your hair colors, but since i started looking at them on dal, i'm not sure! maybe his emotions are just a little different to yours. i guess that'd make sense.

i must've hit my head really hard. something weird's going on, for sure.

[gunflowers]

he's created his own. my hair was never that golden honey blonde that he has when he's happy. that's all his.

it feels like it. i'm sorry, ten, i want to help you understand whats going on, but i have to get ready...

[squelch]

it's cute on him. but your happy hair is cute on you, too.

right, of course! i'll find kwang. he'll tell me what i did with your rings!

[gunflowers]

i prefer when he wears it

okay!!!
