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.

Is he talking time travel? Because I think he is talking about world hopping and time travel.

Not that I wouldn't mind doing that, but wouldn't visiting our "alternate time lines" as he puts it screw up the time line? Meeting our other self? If anything, I wouldn't mind meeting the person who I keep seeing in my memories.

[blondferret]

The alternate time lines is interesting to think about. This might be an opportunity to actually meet the person in our memories. IF the laws of time and space allow of course.

Ugh. Just when I thought this Retrospec couldn't stress me out more, anon posting gets added.

Also I agree with that someone? I'm not ready for the power of messing with alternate timelines. That just feels like a disaster waiting to happen.

At least there's no missions. Finals are daunting enough.

[blondferret]

Good luck with finals! Were you ever able to take any early?

And yeah, that person has a point. There are enough sci fi shows showing that messing with a time line, even unintentionally could have really bad consequences.

But if you could meet your other self in his original time line without screw up time, would you?

[fiddlestick]

Thanks. I was able to turn in my music project early? But that might've been a mistake.

Meet my other self? Well, I don't know... knowing myself, he'd probably freak out a lot.

[....]

Or worse, he'd demand to find out which one of us is the better violinist. That could get really ugly.

You figured it out, huh?

Guess we're gonna get into what I talked to you about sooner than we thought. Don't worry. I'll save the deep stuff for when we win.

Buckle in, everyone.

[hauntedsavior]

Bandmates think alike.

[blessmefather]

I've been saying from the start Retrospec had the power to play god but time traveling and world hopping takes the cake. Honestly I haven't put serious thought into where I'd go if I could go to the past, there are people I miss but I always get sidetracked worrying about what damage could be done to the timeline.

It's also harder to consider going back once you're a parent.

[fiddlestick]

Really? Oh cool! So you could say we're

N-sync?

[hauntedsavior]

Guess what?

I quit the band, we're finished professionally, you ruined it with that pun.

[fiddlestick]

What???

Oh no, please! I'm sorry! Don't quit!

[hauntedsavior]

Oh my god. Don't worry, dude. I'm not going anywhere. Not now that my fingers are literally robotic. No callouses, no oil, deadly precision -- I could be the best bassist in the world.

Will be, once we're done kicking ass.

[godcards]

Ok, that vague bullshit aside, someone answer me instead... Are doors presenting an issue to anyone else? You know how this company likes doors, and with this magical timeline nonsense, I need confirmation that it's not just me.

[ it's just you, malik ]

[those that have met Tatsuo's dog will know who he is. otherwise, enjoy the pic of a good boy.]

Before we all embark on this journey of meddling with time, we should probably all watch Back to the Future as a reminder of the hazards of time travel.

[standalonehuman]

Whoa whoa, no. You want to look into the time lines of the people we're seeing? It's going to be hard enough to untangle-

I can't believe I'm saying this. Untangle Recolle's timeline. This world.

I don't know how any of this really works.

In Alice in Wonderland, she finds a bottle that says 'Drink Me.' How many of you would drink it, not knowing what might happen to you? Only, you know that if you don't take the risk and drink it, something really bad IS going to happen and you'll have no chance at stopping it?

Brought to you by me remembering my weapon turned itself into liquid, which I apparently took as an indication to drink it.

[As Togusa feels a knife absolutely twist in his gut from this comment.]

Parent. Is that how..

Is that how Vanderweele did it, then? When he showed us that alternate version of events? Time travel.

Re: anon ... sort of

[standalonehuman]

First off. You mean Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah.

And second off, I desperately hope neither of those movies are instruction manuals.

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah. He's talking about time travel. And it depends on how alternate the timelines are. If it's something like last summer? It might not change anything here. Or maybe it will.

I think the plan is that it does. Otherwise why would he be sending us back to fuck with Clarence?

[fiddlestick]

Oh whew. I was scared for a second there.

But that's so cool. With fingers like that, it wont be long until I'm the one working hard to keep up! 🎵

Hehe, right. You're always so good at cheering me up Anna.

Re: un: malik

[standalonehuman]

No more doors in places they aren't supposed to be, not that I've seen.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, I agree.

I mean, not about the parent part because I'm not one (obviously). But going back with time traveling feels like we could stand to lose more than gain.

[hauntedsavior]

That's me. Regular ray of goddamn sunshine beaming down over the city.

Not gonna lie. This is one of the things I'm looking forward to once we win. Just getting back to normal, being friends, not having to worry about so much. Giving A2 a break.
