Hello? I think I'm doing this right. Although I'm not really sure that I believe that other people will really be able to read what I'm writing as if by magic. (Is it really not magic? Because I just don't see how that can work.) And it seems like a very complicated way to try and talk to people. It's like someone's tried purposefully tried to make

I think you're doing just fine. Computers can be really tricky even for people from this world. So don't worry about it so much, I'm sure you'll get the hang of everything soon enough!

My name's Rinoa, it's nice to meet you Merlin. I take it you're new to this school? If you ever need any help, just let me know. Since I graduated I've had a lot more time on my hands.

Chocolate milk is really good! I think you just mix milk with some chocolate and there you go. I've never actually tried making it before, but I might have to try sometime.

Yes, I'm new. Hardly been here a week, actually. I don't know if I'll ever get the hang of all this though.

That at least makes more sense then having it rain from the sky. While inside. I'm not sure I could trust chocolate milk that came from a raincloud.

I think everyone says that at first, and then before they know it a year's gone by! I'm sure you'll do just fine.

I'm not sure if I'd trust chocolate milk from a raincloud either. I didn't even know things like that could happen!

You've been here for years?! Exactly how many people have ended up here that long?

I'm pretty sure they're not meant to be able to happen.

[rebellingheart]

That's right. Eighteen of them even. [She'd troll him about this, but she's not that type of girl.] I'm from this world. Only I got pulled twenty years into the future by the same magic that pulled you here from a different world.

I've been in the future for over a year now and I have several of friends who've bee here for that long too.

I guess I need to get used to the idea that magic can make anything possible still.

I didn't know that that the people of this world could be affected too. And twenty years into the future? How...what about yourself in the past? Do you what happened to, well, you?

I've heard of magic doing a lot of things, but never taking them to other worlds or the future.

[rebellingheart]

It doesn't happen very often. Those of us who from the past were there when time compression originally happened with very few exceptions. No one's really sure why it's worked out this way, only that it has.

I thought compressing time to one moment was really weird, but I actually think raining chocolate milk is even weirder.

[nevergetscredit]

So you can't ever run into yourself? There's no chance that you'll ever get back to your time?

You know, I think you might be right. Doing strange things with time is at least something the gods might do, but I don't think there's any god that would decide to make it rain chocolate milk.

[rebellingheart]

Well... I haven't run into myself yet? I've been trying not to think about it too hard, because when I do I always end up with a headache. No, people from my time get pulled back to the past just like other people get pulled back to their worlds. Sometimes they come back, though they never remember being in the future, and sometimes they don't. It's really complicated.

Ultimecia wasn't a god, she was just a sorceress from the future. I'm not sure I'd want to see what an actual god is capable of doing. That sounds kind of scary.

[nevergetscredit]

So you're here now, but you're also still in the past after the time you came from? That is complicated. How come they can't remember being in the future?

Ultimecia? Where they the one that caused this?
