I AM SO GLAD I TYPED ALL THIS OUT WHEN I WAS SOBER

[omniscientdog.livejournal.com]

I know you weren't expecting to see me again so soon, but frankly, you should just consider yourselves lucky and leave it at that.

I've always had something of an interest in time travel. Never wanted to try it myself - after all, there's so much that can go wrong. But once again, you heros have been given a higher purpose! My attempts to meld two parts of the timestream appear to have been successful!

So there's now not only your normal, 'gamecanon' selves wandering around, but now you've got to deal with these 'ten years later' nutjobs.

One small stipulation: past and future selves can not speak to each other. I talked to the lovely lady who assembled you all, and if two copies get within twenty feet of each other, one of them will be 'ported' off and away. If it happens repeatedly she'll send one of you home.

[TL;DR it's an open RP post that allows characters from capeandcowl and cnc2020, just don't talk to yourselves and break the timestream.]

[ Pause. ]

...

[ Long stare. ]

[long stare, meet long stare. make friends now.

okay so unless Scarab's pranking me again, that's an Abby. an older Abby. like, ten years older.]

Y--

You're back...?

[snipette.livejournal.com]

Back from-- from where?

[ She's watching you. Warily. If only because it's been a very, very long time since he's looked that young. ]

Are you...? [ She hesitates, then shakes her head. ] You're from the past?

[scarabsuited]

No? I mean. I'm from now, here. Oh-nine? [grimace.] You. You left, like last week. You remember?

[snipette.livejournal.com]

No-- I. [ She lifts a hand to her forehead, scrubbing hair from her face. ] It's been at least ten years since the last time I was ported out.

[scarabsuited]

Wait--what? That kind of. Uh. Are you saying it's been ten years since you've been back, or...ten years since you ever left, or...?

[snipette.livejournal.com]

No, no. [ She waves her hands, palms out. ] It's-- It's been ten years since I left. And came back. And stayed.

[scarabsuited]

Okay, now I'm confused. Does...that mean I am from the past? Or. Whatever you said? 'Cause I'm not getting a readout about timeframe here for some reason.

But. [hesitation.] You come back, right?

[snipette.livejournal.com]

Wait. You--

[ She has to stop, because she's confused now too. She pauses, then makes a little erasing gesture in the air with her hand. Start over. ]

I think. You're from my past. Because-- I. I left, but. I came back. And... It's been a long time since then. A lot of things have changed.
