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.

sorry! i thought you might want a little more practice. but you must be all studied out!

are you excited about tomorrow?

[strewn]

I like to practice, but I don't know what I'm practicing here.

Or what tomorrow is. I'm sorry, did I forget something important?

[cordiformed]

don't say that, you've done great!

did you forget something important - you're so funny!

[strewn]

That's nice of you to say. I'm still sort of confused.

How should I be getting ready?

[cordiformed]

by packing! and making sure you have your passport. and maybe picking up some motion sickness medicine, just in case. i guess people can take that for plane rides.

I'm going on a plane?

[cordiformed]

we have to! we can't drive to japan. i don't think we could even take a boat there, the trip would be long and dangerous.

dal, have you changed your mind about going?

[strewn]

No, I want to go. Really badly.

I just don't remember when we planned all this. Something must be wrong with me.

[cordiformed]

we've been planning it for nearly a year... you learned japanese and everything.

don't worry! i'm sure it's just the excitement.

[strewn]

I've never heard of someone being so excited they forgot something that big.
