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.

every day

yes. i asked if you wanted a family

im obsessed.

[hapertas]

good. he has cute cheeks. i'd want to be kissing them constantly!

and what did i say? i mean, i know what i said. i think i know. but can you tell me anyway?

you're his parent, i think you're allowed! plus, he's clearly the cutest kid that ever lived, so it's perfectly understandable, i think.

[osmic]

you do. he likes that

you said you did, but you wanted to be sure i did too. i think i really... surprised you

youre always enabling me. we had to make a pact not to go check on him every 2 minutes when hes sleeping though

[hapertas]

does he laugh a lot? it looks like he laughs a lot. i hope that's true.

really? i can imagine. i've not thought about it much as of now. maybe a little, since sage and minsu are having their baby soon. but i didn't think of it for us.

are we even sticking to that at all?

[osmic]

yeah, hes very giggly

hmm. i know. i was really scared, when their baby was born. that it was something i couldnt do. that its something you deserved. that it might make things hard between us in the future

...we have some trouble

[hapertas]

is it the best thing you've ever heard?

i'm sorry you were scared. i wish i could've taken some of that fear away, but i probably made it harder, didn't i?

don't be too hard on yourself, my neve. don't let me give you a hard time either.

[osmic]

[ instead of telling him about it, neve sends dash a video of baby minsu laughing. it's a bit older, neve is filming, and dash is playing peekaboo and the camera focuses entirely on minsu's delighted laughter and shrieks. ]

you didnt make it harder at all. you made it easier

i think youre too lenient actually

[hapertas]

he looks so happy. because of us?

i hope i do that here. when it's time for me to find out about this, you know? when it's time again.

well, you never do anything wrong, so how could i chastise you fairly?

[osmic]

yeah. because of us. he loves us.

you will

stop. i break the pact so many more times than i even tell you. i should be chastised

[hapertas]

and we love him. we're all really lucky. having a family is the most wonderful thing.

i promise i'll work hard for our family.

i'll give your butt a little smack next time i see you, how's that?

[osmic]

thank you for teaching me that

i know you will.

is that meant to deter me? or be punishment?

[hapertas]

i think i need to say the same to you, neve. but if i did, then thank you for letting me.

and for having faith in me.

well, i'll be honest, part of the reason i said it was so you might get a laugh out of me randomly spanking your past self.

[osmic]

it would work. and get me flirty

flirtier than normal

[hapertas]

i was going to say, aren't you almost always being flirty with me?
