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.

most probably

Grey would mean you’re feeling depressed.

[strewn]

I guess we'll get used to it.

Oh, right. I hope neither of us gets grey hair then.

[gunflowers]

it's okay if i get grey hair these days. i rarely ever have my power, i don't feel like it belongs to me anymore. in a good way. it suits you better anyway.

[strewn]

It's okay?

I didn't mean to make your power mine. It does feel pretty familiar now though.

[gunflowers]

yeah, for me, without power, it just means i'm getting older. don't you think i'd look good with grey hair?

i like it. it makes me feel right.

[strewn]

Are you okay with that? Aging? I've never thought about it.

I promise I'll take good care of your power when it's in my hands.

[gunflowers]

yeah, i'm okay with it. i feel like i've needed it, too. I'm a better person now than when I was in my twenties. and hopefully i'll keep on becoming better.

i know you already do, baby

[strewn]

I could have told you that. You're a better person every day, because you're always trying to be.

I like having it. I like that you trust me with it. And that I can protect it whenever we touch.

[gunflowers]

honestly, were it not for you, I wouldn’t have been trying so hard.

I trust you with everything. My power’s really the smallest thing I trust you with, you know.

[strewn]

Does that mean I helped you?

I think I do know. Maybe it's a symbol of that. I think it helps me understand it.
