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.

hojin. you know me better than anyone. do you think i'm delusional? or worse, lying?

[foxtwo]

i think... maybe... you're going through something? i'd never think you're lying, but neither am i.

[ to prove it, he sends a picture of himself, and his currently male-presenting body, no pregnancy and no boobs anywhere in sight. ]

i'm not trying to upset you. i'm telling the truth.

[foxone]

oh. i guess you're not pregnant with the twins yet.

sorry. i'll text again in a few years.

[foxtwo]

twins? really?

joonie... really?

[ someone might be feeling suddenly emotional. ]

[foxone]

don't let it go to sungki's head. you're the one who gets the credit for that, not his happy little seed.

[foxtwo]

how old are we?

[foxone]

you're really going to do the math here?

how old was sungki when you met him? he just turned twenty-seven.

[foxtwo]

it's not like it's that hard

he's 19 now

damn

is he still as handsome as he is now? no, wait. i'm sure he's even more handsome.

[foxone]

he still looks a little fragile.

but he must be strong. the two of you have been mountain climbing, white water rafting, long hiking trips. you get out of the house together a lot.

well there was one night when you didn't. unless

no, nevermind.

[foxtwo]

does he really, or is that your assumption, because you like to think he's more frail than he is.

that sounds... yeah. perfect, really. and you realize you sound like someone who's never had sex outside and i think that's really sad, brother

even if i don't want to think about your sex life much at all

[foxone]

he might've grown a little bit.

look, there's adventurous and there's 'was going over niagara falls really the right time for it?'

anyway, the two of you have a lot of fun, spend a lot of time together, and then you decide that you're ready for this.

[foxtwo]

if i didn't think this is breaking all sorts of like, space time continuum already, i'd ask you to send me a picture of him

there's never a bad time for it if you're really in love, joonie!!

well. i'm sure we didn't make the decision lightly.

[foxone]

you didn't. that's what makes it so great. these babies are so wanted. even before they existed. i've been to japan three times personally just to thank inari.

[foxtwo]

i have a million questions but i don't know that i'm supposed to ask them.

[foxone]

maybe sage has something to help with that.

otherwise, just know that everything is wonderful again.

[foxtwo]

what, to make me forget i even know about this?

[foxone]

would't it be more stressful to remember?

[foxtwo]

stressful? i'm not stressed about this. if anything, i'm looking forward to it

[foxone]

as long as you don't try to rush it. i think your little boyfriend wants you all to himself for awhile.

[foxtwo]

oh, i'm not ready to be a dad, either. i want him all to myself too.

it's funny that you still give him such nicknames, apparently years in the future? do you ever call him by his name?

[foxone]

it's our tradition. you know how much i like tradition.

[foxtwo]

i'm not complaining, i think it's cute, that you're creating traditions with sungki.

we're both glad to have you as family.
