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.

you've not done that here. as far as i can tell, you've not been that way since you met dash. probably before that, even, right, you've lived a long time. what matters is now, making amends, making things better.

isn't that what you've told me before? that, and that the voices in your head are feeding you lies.

before dash. i met someone. a human. and he changed my mind

theres only one voice

[gunflowers]

that's what matters, i think. the fact that your mind was changed.

your own, right?

[osmic]

i guess.

no. i think it likes to disguise itself as my voice. but it isnt mine

[gunflowers]

[osmic]

[gunflowers]

You’re royalty

[osmic]

[gunflowers]
