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.

that's what you can give me. that's what i want.

[braced]

my honesty?

[foxtrots]

yeah. i want you to give me your lies, no matter how long it takes.

[braced]

youve already seen a more honest me than most people have

[foxtrots]

i like the honest you.

but...i probably make it a little harder to be dishonest. sorry about that.

[braced]

ah

you know things.

[foxtrots]

i know.

i don't blame you for being scared.

[braced]

im sorry.

i pretend with everyone i meet. i dont tell anybody.

[foxtrots]

don't be. it terrifies me, thinking about if i'd know for sure from the beginning.

that's why you ended up there in the first place though.

[braced]

would you have...?

shows how much id rather lie.

[foxtrots]

i don't know. i can't rule it out.

but because creatures like me exist, you had to lie.

[braced]

oh.

its so... so i can feel a bit safer. but you never scared me like that.

[foxtrots]

if that's true, it's only because we were already out by the time you saw how much i could really eat!

and i already liked you by then too.

[braced]

how much you can eat doesnt scare me. i knew you werent going to hurt me because you were keeping your distance from the guards. you didnt even want to eat the ones trapping you there. you thought it was safer for others that you stayed in jail

[foxtrots]

ah.

that's good. i don't want you to be scared of me.

[braced]

i trust you, minsu.
