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.

out of diapers? but we haven't even used any yet!

[osmic]

ha ha. could probably build a mountain if we'd saved them all

please dont forget. i dont want him to get a rash again from the washable ones

[hapertas]

well, i still don't know if i get the joke, neve, but i don't want anyone getting a rash, that's for sure.

[osmic]

i dont really get the joke either, baby. minsu needs diapers

[hapertas]

there's definitely a whole stack in the nursery right now. they haven't even been touched, i promise!

[osmic]

im standing in the nursery

i dont see diapers

[hapertas]

maybe minsu took them? though i don't know why he'd do that.

[osmic]

took them? to where? he can barely walk yet

[hapertas]

wait, did something happen to him?? what happened to minsu?

[osmic]

minsu's fine. he's playing right in front of me right now

[ have a picture of a baby in a nursery that is definitely not sage and minsu's and a baby that is definitely not minsu. a cute little boy holding up a toy with a smile proudly showing two lil front teeth. ]

[hapertas]

[ Dash's heart just did something funny. ]

neve... who is that?

[osmic]

are you ok? we dont make that kind of joke about our son

[hapertas]

our son. neve, i'm so confused. i swear i'm not kidding around here, i don't know what's happening.

[osmic]

where are you? are you hurt? whats the last thing you remember?

[hapertas]

i feel fine. i woke up this morning, i worked on the hat i'm making...

i only left our room once and then just came right back after breakfast. i feel fine. except for not recognizing our son.

well, now i feel sort of sick to my stomach.

[osmic]

dont, its... we can figure this out

maybe its a curse or a spell. you dont recognize him but do you remember him, and everything having to do with him

[hapertas]

that has to be it. some magic.

i don't remember us having a child. i don't remember how it happened. i thought you were talking about minsu and sage's baby.

[osmic]

[ GONNA IGNORE HOW PAINFUL IT IS TO READ "I DON'T REMEMBER US HAVING A CHILD". ]

how old is their baby

[hapertas]

not born yet. sage is still pregnant. neve, what's going on?

[osmic]

i might be from your future

[hapertas]

wait.

that means...

[osmic]

yes.

[hapertas]

oh my god. we have a child? you and me.

we're parents.

that's our son? how old is he? how... how did we meet him? we named him after minsu, that's so perfect!

my head's going a thousand miles a second.

[osmic]

yeah. we do. i... we did it the natural way. thats our son. he's 10 months old

we named him after you. and minsu.

you get naming privileges on the next one

[hapertas]

he's so beautiful. we did good, didn't we? wow.

i can't believe this. i don't even know what to say, really. i didn't know, i mean, i didn't want to assume anything. i guess i hoped...

are we going to try again? you want to?
