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.

no, i mean you're acting like you're just following my latest flight of fancy

you realize you'll need a suit too, right

and what about the rings? i want to wear a ring. do you want to wear a ring? damn, jun, we're doing this and we haven't even discussed the logistics

[shadework]

tae, i'm not complaining. whatever you want to do is fine with me. suits, rings, whatever-

hold on, what is 'this'? exactly what are we doing today?

[shineplay]

i love you with my whole life, and i truly think you're funny, but this isn't a funny joke

we're getting married, seojun. stop fucking around and let's make some decisions, here, i can't believe i'm the groomzilla of this relationship

[shadework]

[i love you with my whole life...it'll take him a minute to read the rest. seojun just focused on those words, wondering if tae has any idea how much his whole life means to him.

enough to upset the balance of life and death, you betcha.

but he finally goes on to read the rest of the text, which is definitely confusing. but.

it's tae. that's all that matters.]

sorry. okay, suits and rings. dark suits? silver rings?

[shineplay]

did you actually forget? you're impossible!

dark suits. black suit, black shirt? should we wear different colors? maybe we should ask dash, he is good at this stuff.

white gold? whichever. i'm easy. i just want a ring.

[shadework]

no, i-

it's not like that.

black for me and white for you? or is that a bit too on the nose.

white gold it is.

it's a good thing i applied for that other credit card.

[shineplay]

what is it like?

black for me and white for you. or would that impede your image too much

i mean, i'm paying for half of this, too

[shadework]

i didn't forget.

you would look good in black.

what? where did you get money?

[shineplay]

i feel like you're hiding something from me, which is kinda against all the rules, you know

??? jun, are you sure you're okay? did you forget when i started freelancing?

[shadework]

i didn't forget because you didn't tell me. i just didn't want you to be upset with yourself.

when did this start, you were just dreaming about it the other day?

[shineplay]

me upset with myself? why would i be?

okay, you ARE ill. right? because i started freelancing like, three years ago. we've been saving since. i even have a bit of a following on twitter now even if i barely ever say anything on there, but people like my writing. i haven't dreamed about it since you got me my computer.

[shadework]

[oh.

seojun hasn't bought the computer yet. it's why he got the second credit card. he planned on surprising him.]


taeyang. don't tell me anything else.

[shineplay]

[ tae stops, blinking at the screen. ]

what's going on?

[shadework]

i'm not sure. but i think we might be from different timelines.

[shineplay]

oh

oh. that'd explain why you don't remember the wedding stuff. but... you totally went along with it anyway?

[shadework]

there's no reason not to. no matter how far apart we all time-wise, i'd marry you today if you wanted to.

[shineplay]

oh. that's very sweet of you

how long have we been together, in your timeline?

[shadework]

you opened your eyes 6 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days ago.

[shineplay]

the way you say that. you always say that like the day i opened my eyes again is the first day you opened yours, too

like in that song, do you know the song?

it's been 2 years, for me.

[shadework]

i know the song.

so, in another year and a half, we're doing this?

[shineplay]

are you looking forward to it?

[shadework]

i don't know how i'm going to be able to wait.

[shineplay]

let's see...

you could sex me up a lot

[shadework]

i see that you haven't changed in two years. i like that.

[shineplay]

i don't think you want me to change, do you

i also take cuddles. grocery shopping. night-long chats. anything, really, as long as it's with you
