Time to catch up to itself? I think I'm going to need some more background for a question like that.

[can i assume this is video? since he won't be able to make out much of any text post.]

It's- mm. If someone arrives here, and then someone else does as well. They're from the same place. But a certain amount of time has taken place inbetween their last meeting. Important things happened.

How do you think that for the person from 'the past,' time will catch up to where it is for the person from 'the future?'

[video - ack, yes, sorry I ditzed out]

[temper_tempest]

I don't think time moves in a straight line between here and . . . the places we came from. There are people that are the wrong age here, but time keeps moving straight now that we're here. It's more like we're on an all new timeline.

[video - no problem!]

[penetrable]

Everything's jumbled.

You're thinkin' way too linear dude. Time doesn't travel in a straight line. It's more... ball shaped. Or, really, a ball of yarn.

There's all sorts of intersection points and stuff. Same with dimensions. And a decision in one dimension, if dynamic enough, can cause a ripple in all others, or even create others.

So, does time ever catch up? Not really.

[It's difficult for him to make everything out; he can't read her lips. He isn't going to ask right now, though (it's embarrassing and he's thinking too hard to care too much about it). When he starts speaking, it devolves into a cough, but then he clears his throat and continues.]

Then. If something's happened in what is ahead of time for me, it doesn't guarantee it will happen for me, now that something has changed?

[thelittlestbub]

Exactly. Even if we get outta here, and go back at the exact moment we left, there's no guarantee that it'll happen. We'll be different people, make different choices. Just the way it is.

And there isn't any way to tell how leaving your point in time has affected everything else?

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

A "little bit important"?

[voice]

[penetrable]

That's what I said.

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

Either something is important or it is not. Do not so undermine your own statements.

[voice]

[penetrable]

Hearing you isn't going to change the way I speak.

[torporheart]

Why do you want to know that?

[penetrable]

Our circumstances made me wonder.

[torporheart]

Oh.

[penetrable]

Don't worry.

Time to catch up to itself?

[may i assume this is voice or video? ;w; yoite can't do text well and i want to be sure ;; ]

[penetrable]

One person is from a different timeframe than another, and it needs to be remedied.

yes, sorry, voice is fine. sorry

[stolz_des]

I do not believe it can be.

oh, no problem! [voice]

[penetrable]

It needs to be.
