Time. A weird kind of concept, isn't it? I've been thinking about it a lot lately…this whole "time" thing, the way the map's been laid out, and how this project came into fruition. I've been able to get a read on some stuff, and I've been transcribing notes from the company. Your app should have some new upgrades now thanks to a handful of factors none of which were my own ideas. I did the legwork, but the groundwork was provided. Thanks, you know who you are. We're rerouting for higher security, anonymity and the chance to overlap. Which means…what…? Here's a question for you. Where have you wanted to go more than anywhere in the worlds? A time, a place, anything like that. There's a theory about alternate timelines I might be looking into based on company research. What've we got to lose at this rate? Strip the defenses in the past, unveil the man behind the curtain in the present, secure the future. Someone told me this kind of thing was a lot of power to trust on you guys…but isn't that all we can do now? Trust each other and test the waters. No missions this month. I checked out everything in Respatrum and Bosuma and it seems that the people there are more self-sufficient than I anticipated which was nice. The subway's still up and running though. Coordinates will be incoming in a few days. I'm testing them out myself to make sure they're stabilized. Stay sharp.

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling CONCERN about this whole time travel thing. Though it's also kind of reassuring that people are concerned?

ngl... There are times I'm curious to see. But I don't know if learning something in particular will help or hurt.

it really could go either way
but it'd be pretty cool to see how things could've turned out
i guess we'll see how it goes once we've got more information
seems like it could be a pretty fun adventure though!

it's bad enough i'm envious of my past life in certain ways, because i usually not the envious type.

[mostly because she's never had anything to feel envious over. she's always had more than enough of everything.]

i'm fine with going back to try to weaken vanderweele, but we should really be careful when it comes to ourselves.

[morgrim]

yeah that's what i'm thinking
there's probably some stuff i could change if i really wanted to
but who knows where that'd put me now?
so it's best that we just focus our efforts on him
and figure everything else out as we go with as little changes as possible

[psykick]

what would you change? if you don't mind my asking?

i kind of want to find out who my father is.

[morgrim]

i always kind of wonder how things would've turned out if i'd stayed with my grandparents in japan
or if i'd done what my parents wanted and followed in their footsteps
can't say i would've enjoyed managing a business all that much either way though

i think that's fair
it's something anyone would wonder about, i think

[psykick]

ah. family expectations. impossible to live up to either way.

i didn't used to think about it. at least not munch. then i started remembering my dad in my last life.

Time travel is as very tricky situation. I've watched enough sci fi tv shows to know.

Also it is really regulated in Draco's world. If the whole magical community has it controlled, it is something you shouldn't take lightly.

Re: un: rinkas

[psykick]

All of the theories from scifi are just that, theories. We could be completely wrong about how time travel works and we won't even know until we try it.

Whoa. So it was actually real on your world? That's wild.

Re: un: rinkas

[blondferret]

I'd like you to find a fandom where time travel doesn't have consequences!

Yeah, we have something called time turners. They are these small magical hour glasses, that when you spin it, you can travel through time.

Re: un: rinkas

[psykick]

I wasn't saying there were no consequences. Just that we could be completely wrong how it works.

A rather elegant sounding design.

Re: un: rinkas

[blondferret]

This is true. In this world, who knows how time travel truly works?

My other self has one. Saw it in a memory. Very shiny.

Re: un: rinkas

[psykick]

Just saw it? You haven't remembered using it?

Re: un: rinkas

[blondferret]

Well, he wanted to but they didn't know when to go. He was trying to track down his son and his best friend who were hopping through time for some reason.

Re: un: rinkas

[psykick]

Hopping... you mean they were making multiple jumps?

Re: un: rinkas

[blondferret]

That's what it seemed. I still don't know a lot about it yet.

Re: un: rinkas

[psykick]

Considering we might be engaging in some time travel of our own, maybe you should try to jog a few things loose.

Re: un: rinkas

[blondferret]

It's not like I can demand memories to come to my mind ya know.

Re: un: rinkas

[psykick]

Maybe not, but I've noticed a certain pattern. I can't backtrace for every memory I've gotten, but for most of them? Some conversation I had, or thing I did, is linked to the things I remember.

Re: un: rinkas

[blondferret]

So have you forced memories to come?

Re: un: rinkas

[psykick]

No, but I'm not the one who might have memories that could be extremely applicable in this situation.

I get it if you don't want to. I've been doing my best to not remember how I almost died.

Re: un: rinkas

[blondferret]

I really don't like seeing an evil wizard in my memories. One, he's creepy as fuck. Two, in the memories, he does some very awful things.

Re: un: rinkas

[psykick]

What do an evil wizard have to do with your past self time travelling?

Re: un: rinkas

[blondferret]

I don't like the idea of jogging unpleasant memories for the sake of preparing for time travel.

And the evil wizard is related to because this guy blackmailed my other self to kill a person or risk being killed himself, along with his parents. He was 16.

Re: un: rinkas

[psykick]

And what, he had to time travel to kill this person?
