A warning to all timetravellers
Don't mess up when time travelling. You always risk causing a paradox of some form. For example:
"Tommy Robin" (23:37:35): Hey
"Tommy Robin" (23:37:41): I broke my 4 day long AIM marathon
"Tommy Robin" (23:38:10): Had to restart my computer. I think keeping 4 days worth of aim convos was clogging up it's RAM a bit
jjpprob02 (23:38:12): YOU FOOL! Do you even realise what you've done?!
"Tommy Robin" (23:38:17): lol XD
"Tommy Robin" (23:38:37): I screen capped my 'time on aim' amount :P
jjpprob02 (23:38:40): our very existances are now in jeopardy!
"Tommy Robin" (23:38:50): W- What are you talking about?!
jjpprob02 (23:39:29): you DON'T know, do you...
jjpprob02 (23:39:32): this is serious...
jjpprob02 (23:39:44): you've already started dematerialising, starting with your memory, it seems
"Tommy Robin" (23:40:13): You're nuts
"Tommy Robin" (23:40:23): Why are you even talking to me on AIM?
"Tommy Robin" (23:40:26): I don't know you
"Tommy Robin" (23:40:27): Go away
jjpprob02 (23:40:39): YOU SEE? you've forgotten who I am!
"Tommy Robin" (23:40:46): No
jjpprob02 (23:40:49): wait...what year is it?
"Tommy Robin" (23:40:51): I just don't know who you are!
"Tommy Robin" (23:41:01): 2007?
jjpprob02 (23:41:17): I WENT BACK TOO FAR! We've not met yet!
jjpprob02 (23:41:22): forget all of this
jjpprob02 (23:41:27): every word I say, forget I said it
jjpprob02 (23:41:45): otherwise we risk creating a temporal paradox
jjpprob02 (23:41:48): but forget I told you that
"Tommy Robin" (23:41:57): You're from the future?
"Tommy Robin" (23:42:11): Wow, I can't wait to tell you all about this when we meet for real
jjpprob02 (23:42:47): you mustn't! the timespace continuum would collapse! when you meet me, you HAVE to act EXACTLY as you would if you'd not had this conversation
jjpprob02 (23:42:56): you must do the same things, say the same things, even THINK the same things
jjpprob02 (23:43:12): it's imperative that you forget this conversation
"Tommy Robin" (23:43:16): How can I know what I'd think?
"Tommy Robin" (23:43:24): But it's so interesting!
"Tommy Robin" (23:43:34): What can I do to forget it?
"Tommy Robin" (23:44:09): How could I possibly forget someone with such stupid fation sence? Aww man, everyone doesn't dress like that in the future, do they?
jjpprob02 (23:44:15): look, write it down if you want, and put it in an envelope marked "do not read until 2027". I we first met in 2025 so that should be fine...
jjpprob02 (23:44:25): and then wipe your mind
jjpprob02 (23:44:31): just of this conversation, mind
jjpprob02 (23:44:52): if you wiped your brain of everything, you'd act differently, and cause a dimensional shift paradox
jjpprob02 (23:45:04): so wipe your brain of ths conversation and nothing else
"Tommy Robin" (23:45:53): Can't I wipe that one time when someone stole all my clothes and I had to run across town naked to get home?
jjpprob02 (23:46:01): no! it's too dangerous!
"Tommy Robin" (23:46:02): I'd really rather forget that
jjpprob02 (23:46:11): I think there's others who'd rather forget it too
jjpprob02 (23:46:27): but still, you mustn't, the risk is too great
"Tommy Robin" (23:46:28): Can we wipe everyone's mind of that?
"Tommy Robin" (23:46:43): I dunno. The risk of brining up that memory is pretty bad
"Tommy Robin" (23:46:57): I mean, at least for the sake of that bus of children that drove by
jjpprob02 (23:47:40): that's fine, the bus driver crashed because she was staring, those children died
"Tommy Robin" (23:47:58): ...wow
"Tommy Robin" (23:48:01): ...I'm...
"Tommy Robin" (23:48:07): I'm just THAT sexy!!
"Tommy Robin" (23:48:17): Man, I feel a lot better now
jjpprob02 (23:48:26): I don't think THAT was why she was staring - you didn't see the look on her face
jjpprob02 (23:48:39): she was trying to keep herself from laughing
"Tommy Robin" (23:49:20): Yeah, I picked a bad day to draw eye balls on my ass cheeks
jjpprob02 (23:49:40): you were facing her
"Tommy Robin" (23:49:57): My ass is just really big
"Tommy Robin" (23:50:09): I'd apretiate it if we not talk about that though
"Tommy Robin" (23:50:21): I'm sensitive about my figure as it is
"Tommy Robin" (23:50:28): Anyway, how do you know all this?
"Tommy Robin" (23:50:38): Were you watching?
jjpprob02 (23:50:40): I just went back and had a look
"Tommy Robin" (23:50:41): Fucking pervert
jjpprob02 (23:50:51): when you mentioned it, I wanted to gather information
jjpprob02 (23:51:05): so that I could best dissuade you from the mindwipe
"Tommy Robin" (23:51:16): You could have just asked if you wanted to see me naked
jjpprob02 (23:51:23): please, wipe your memory of this conversation and nothign else
"Tommy Robin" (23:51:45): Can I wipe other people's memories of some stuff?
"Tommy Robin" (23:52:03): That'd be fine right?
jjpprob02 (23:52:04): only if you would have done so without first having this conversation
"Tommy Robin" (23:52:16): hm
"Tommy Robin" (23:52:17): What if
jjpprob02 (23:52:18): however, since you won't even remember the conversation, my answer will be meaningless
jjpprob02 (23:53:20): you...will wipe your mind, won't you?
"Tommy Robin" (23:53:24): Because I would have been doing other things at this point in time, had you not arrived, then even when I wipe my memory, what I do will change because I will be 15 mins out of sync with other people
jjpprob02 (23:53:52): you are having other conversations with other people on AIM at this moment - you will still remember those
jjpprob02 (23:54:01): there won't be a blank in your memory
"Tommy Robin" (23:54:04): Oh ok
"Tommy Robin" (23:54:13): Hey... wait a minute
"Tommy Robin" (23:54:14): I get it
"Tommy Robin" (23:54:43): You just want my memory wiped so I don't tell who ever your boss is that you fucked up
jjpprob02 (23:55:33): no, that's not it! a reetitive dimensional shift paradox could occur if you don't wipe your mind!
"Tommy Robin" (23:56:57): I've heard that before. Man, never again will I go to bed with anyone until I know *for sure* that they're really a chick.
"Tommy Robin" (23:58:26): Ok ok
"Tommy Robin" (23:58:31): I'll wipe my mind then
"Tommy Robin" (23:58:33): But!
"Tommy Robin" (23:58:47): I'm writing a letter to your superior
jjpprob02 (23:59:09): just note the conversation down in a strongbox with a 20 year timer on it
jjpprob02 (23:59:27): if you still want to when the box opens and you can read the note, then feel free
"Tommy Robin" (00:00:00): Ok, so how do I erase my memory?
jjpprob02 (00:00:24): you do have a memory modifi....CURSES, TOO FAR BACK IN TIME!
"Tommy Robin" (00:00:45): Can't you go get one from your time?
jjpprob02 (00:01:09): it's dangerous, if anyone in your time saw us...but we have no choice...
jjpprob02 (00:01:25): where can we meet in private?
"Tommy Robin" (00:02:05): Well, my perents are out for the week, so it's safe here
"Tommy Robin" (00:02:17): But you better not let anyone see you! I've got a bad enough rep as it is
jjpprob02 (00:02:23): good, I'll see you in 20 seconds
jjpprob02 (00:02:29): *shimmers out*
jjpprob02 (00:02:38): *shimmers in*
jjpprob02 (00:02:59): hmm, 10 seconds out...it's on the blink again...
jjpprob02 (00:03:05): I'll fix it later...
"Tommy Robin" (00:03:31): Stuff doesn't seem to work so good in the future, huh.
jjpprob02 (00:04:08): I can't say - disclosing too much about the future can be dangerous
"Tommy Robin" (00:04:22): It's not like it matters
"Tommy Robin" (00:04:28): I'm getting my memory erased anyway
jjpprob02 (00:04:32): anyway, put your head in this, please *holds out what appears to be a giant garlic press*
"Tommy Robin" (00:04:41): ...
"Tommy Robin" (00:04:48): I don't like the way this is going
"Tommy Robin" (00:07:00): Um
"Tommy Robin" (00:07:01): so
"Tommy Robin" (00:07:06): How long does the presses take?
jjpprob02 (00:07:33): presses? oh, you don't understand. this isn't a press. it's a repulsorpower gravcompressor
jjpprob02 (00:07:48): it'll only take a couple of seconds
"Tommy Robin" (00:07:50): *prosses
jjpprob02 (00:08:02): oh, process!
"Tommy Robin" (00:08:02): Are you sure about the safety of my head?
jjpprob02 (00:08:07): entirely
"Tommy Robin" (00:08:21): How can I be sure about it?
jjpprob02 (00:08:37): *shimmers out for a second, then shimmers bcak in*
jjpprob02 (00:08:50): I've just skipped into the future. you're fine in it
jjpprob02 (00:09:10): and besides, if this goes wrong, a temporal rift would occur, and you'd hardly know about it
"Tommy Robin" (00:09:41): If I'm going to go through with the mind erase, then shouldn't the temporal rift already be healing it's self?
jjpprob02 (00:10:05): but if the process failed, another one would be caused
jjpprob02 (00:10:25): anyway, it's not a rift that we're fixing
"Tommy Robin" (00:10:29): Ok
jjpprob02 (00:10:32): it's a repetitive dimensional shift paradox
"Tommy Robin" (00:10:44): ...ok, let's just get tis over with
"Tommy Robin" (00:10:54): it's not gonna hurt, right?
jjpprob02 (00:10:57): ok, please insert your head in the apparatus
jjpprob02 (00:11:05): *doesn't answer the question*
"Tommy Robin" (00:11:49): When you said I was fine in teh future
"Tommy Robin" (00:11:53): I was alive right?
jjpprob02 (00:12:34): you were alive, yes - however, since we've not actually done this yet, I saw the future that's actually my past, where none of this happened, so...you'll be fine!
jjpprob02 (00:12:38): probably!
"Tommy Robin" (00:13:41): um, right
"Tommy Robin" (00:13:46): Ok.... go. Do it
jjpprob02 (00:14:01): very well - insert your head in the apparatus please
"Tommy Robin" (00:14:33): *inserts head*
jjpprob02 (00:14:41): here we go...
"Tommy Robin" (00:14:51): *closes eyes and hopes*
jjpprob02 (00:15:36): *activates the machine. it hums a bit, then lights up. suddenly, there's a huge flash of light and a huge bang, as part of your memory is squished into a singularity, then into oblivion*
jjpprob02 (00:15:39): ok, it's done
jjpprob02 (00:15:45): *you feel a bit of pain*
jjpprob02 (00:16:07): *and a bit more...infact, a lot more. it's like the concussion you'd have if you survived a planet falling on you*
"Tommy Robin" (00:16:23): *screams*
jjpprob02 (00:16:34): are you ok?
"Tommy Robin" (00:16:43): OH GOD
"Tommy Robin" (00:16:56): What have you done to me?!
"Tommy Robin" (00:16:58): Who are you?!
"Tommy Robin" (00:17:02): Why are you in my house?!
jjpprob02 (00:17:12): it's ok, you don't know me yet...oh, damn...
jjpprob02 (00:17:22): you'd...better forget you ever saw me, ok?
"Tommy Robin" (00:17:40): Something tells me I should do just that
jjpprob02 (00:18:35): farewell, then - I'll see you later. til we meet again, for the first time
jjpprob02 (00:18:41): *shimmers out of existance*
jjpprob02 (00:18:44): *shimmers back*
jjpprob02 (00:18:48): oh, forget you saw that, too
jjpprob02 (00:18:51): *shimmers out again*
"Tommy Robin" (00:19:23): great
jjpprob02 (00:20:11): *where he stood is a pack of asprins on the floor*
Ye be warned.
"Tommy Robin" (23:37:35): Hey
"Tommy Robin" (23:37:41): I broke my 4 day long AIM marathon
"Tommy Robin" (23:38:10): Had to restart my computer. I think keeping 4 days worth of aim convos was clogging up it's RAM a bit
jjpprob02 (23:38:12): YOU FOOL! Do you even realise what you've done?!
"Tommy Robin" (23:38:17): lol XD
"Tommy Robin" (23:38:37): I screen capped my 'time on aim' amount :P
jjpprob02 (23:38:40): our very existances are now in jeopardy!
"Tommy Robin" (23:38:50): W- What are you talking about?!
jjpprob02 (23:39:29): you DON'T know, do you...
jjpprob02 (23:39:32): this is serious...
jjpprob02 (23:39:44): you've already started dematerialising, starting with your memory, it seems
"Tommy Robin" (23:40:13): You're nuts
"Tommy Robin" (23:40:23): Why are you even talking to me on AIM?
"Tommy Robin" (23:40:26): I don't know you
"Tommy Robin" (23:40:27): Go away
jjpprob02 (23:40:39): YOU SEE? you've forgotten who I am!
"Tommy Robin" (23:40:46): No
jjpprob02 (23:40:49): wait...what year is it?
"Tommy Robin" (23:40:51): I just don't know who you are!
"Tommy Robin" (23:41:01): 2007?
jjpprob02 (23:41:17): I WENT BACK TOO FAR! We've not met yet!
jjpprob02 (23:41:22): forget all of this
jjpprob02 (23:41:27): every word I say, forget I said it
jjpprob02 (23:41:45): otherwise we risk creating a temporal paradox
jjpprob02 (23:41:48): but forget I told you that

"Tommy Robin" (23:42:11): Wow, I can't wait to tell you all about this when we meet for real

jjpprob02 (23:48:39): she was trying to keep herself from laughing
"Tommy Robin" (23:49:20): Yeah, I picked a bad day to draw eye balls on my ass cheeks
jjpprob02 (23:49:40): you were facing her

"Tommy Robin" (23:50:09): I'd apretiate it if we not talk about that though
"Tommy Robin" (23:50:21): I'm sensitive about my figure as it is

"Tommy Robin" (23:58:26): Ok ok
"Tommy Robin" (23:58:31): I'll wipe my mind then
"Tommy Robin" (23:58:33): But!
"Tommy Robin" (23:58:47): I'm writing a letter to your superior

"Tommy Robin" (00:02:17): But you better not let anyone see you! I've got a bad enough rep as it is
jjpprob02 (00:02:23): good, I'll see you in 20 seconds
jjpprob02 (00:02:29): *shimmers out*
jjpprob02 (00:02:38): *shimmers in*

"Tommy Robin" (00:07:00): Um
"Tommy Robin" (00:07:01): so
"Tommy Robin" (00:07:06): How long does the presses take?
jjpprob02 (00:07:33): presses? oh, you don't understand. this isn't a press. it's a repulsorpower gravcompressor
jjpprob02 (00:07:48): it'll only take a couple of seconds
"Tommy Robin" (00:07:50): *prosses
jjpprob02 (00:08:02): oh, process!
