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.

oh

you know if you don't want to, just say so. it's okay.

[foxtrots]

i wish that was it.

...wait, that sounded weird.

you have no idea how much i want to. you're always nice to me, and you're so beautiful with the cutest dimples, and you smell good.

you smell...really good.

[gunflowers]

You make all of that sound like it’s a bad thing.

Is it a bad thing?

[foxtrots]

i don't want it to become a bad thing.

if it got control of me, what would you do?

[gunflowers]

Tell me what I should do, and I’d do it.

Are you worried you can’t control it?

[foxtrots]

i'm always worried that i can't control it.

because sometimes i can't. sometimes all the food in the world doesn't help. sometimes i'm sick, like someone with a fever. sometimes i have to leave the house because the day is too warm and i know exactly where everyone is. if they're alone. if they're asleep.

i let you think that you were just bringing home some awkward, defenseless boy, but he was a monster all along.

[gunflowers]

I don’t think you’re a monster. If you were a monster you wouldn’t care about hurting us, but you do. You’re too good to be a monster.

We can work together to help you control it. I always want you around.

[he hasn't always been good. he wants to tell myung this and doesn't at the same time. maybe he's still a clever creature - maybe instead of trying to fool them, he's really fooling himself.]

do you still have that ring sage gave you?

[gunflowers]

[ The past is in the past. What happens now is what matters. ]

yeah, of course. I never take it off.

[foxtrots]

good. don't.

[minsu can absorb a good bit of magic, but the witch is strong, and he's in his element. any spell of his should be enough to get the fox to back off.

should be.]

i guess i could visit for a little while. see how it goes.

[gunflowers]

if you'd rather, i'll keep my hands to myself. but honestly i'm

i'm not going to lie, minsu, i'm into you.

[foxtrots]

i think i'd be hurt if you did.

i know.

i like you too.

[gunflowers]

Oh. Well then I won’t. I’ll touch you a lot. Put my hands everywhere.
