[voice] first offramp

[visiongirl]

[And the feed opens to a blunt, but cheerful sounding voice.]

So I apologize if someone's asked this before -- I'm sure they have but I'm still pretty new and all -- is it normal for people to be like...from the past in comparison to you?

[Cryptic question is cryptic. She also doesn't know how to filter things yet.]

Just wondering.

Comments

Voice;

[pushesgently]

Yes.

[...how helpful and elaborate an answer this is.]

Voice;

[visiongirl]

Thanks. That's a really helpful answer. [Sarcasm, it's a way of life.]

voice;

[gymnast]

It's definitely common enough to be considered normal, yeah. I have people from home here with me that are from my future and another one that's from my past. I honestly don't think anyone's from the same exact time as me. [ Even Scott, who's closer than the others, is from her future. ]

Re: voice;

[visiongirl]

So how do you deal with that? Does everyone just keep things to themselves or what? [Because she has a feeling she knows a lot that Gunn and Fred don't -- things they'd be better off not knowing, really.]

audio.

[mulletrock]

Usually. When I first showed up I was years behind the rest of my friends from home. Lucky for me the gods decided to send me back to live through what I was missing.

audio.

[visiongirl]

They send you back only to pull you back here again?

voice.

[livedtwice]

My closest friends are from around the same time as me, but my parents are ... my age now. I'm certain you can imagine how strange that is. But I'd say I'm definitely a case of it being "very normal." Or rather, having to accept it is.

voice.

[visiongirl]

Your parents are your age? That has to be awkward. [But at least it's not a fluke, she supposes, that Gunn and Fred don't seem to remember the things she does.]

[intelligently]

Apparently I'm from the past to my friends. It doesn't stop being weird.

[visiongirl]

Yeah, I think I'm from the future of most of mine. Definitely on the weird side of things.

[video]

[shinybaldhead]

Uh. That's a pretty weird and oddly specific question.

[video]

[visiongirl]

Well like, you didn't know that you guys eventually find me, right? So clearly there's some sort of weird mojo going on here.

[bestestfurrend]

Uh huh! It happens all the time here. Some of my friends were from the past compared to me and some were from the future too.

[visiongirl]

Yeah, that's the picture I'm getting. I don't know whether it's comforting or not to know other people have to deal with this.

[Video]

[modernmarvel]

I somehow get the feeling that these guys don't really care about messing with time continuity, but call it a hunch.

[He shrugs.]

So far everyone I know is from around the same time, though, so who knows.

[Video]

[visiongirl]

Sounds like you got lucky in that regards -- if my other responses are anything to go by.

|| voice

[usandthedead]

Wouldn't know about that. But there's lots of different worlds represented here so it ain't too far a stretch for times to be different too.

Re: || voice

[visiongirl]

Yeah, I suppose it isn't. Then again, still getting used to so many worlds merging in one place and all that.

[44brains]

[ She might sound a bit like someone Cordy knows. ]

Most of the time, I think everyone here is from 'the past' where I'm concerned.

Re: Voice

[visiongirl]

...You're here too Faith? and what does that even mean?

voice;

[forgetyourusedtobe]

I'm in the past to one of my friends and from the future for another. I've got a friend here that I met that's from the past for all of her friends.

I also know someone who was here before, but doesn't remember it at all.

[In short, it gets ridiculously complicated.]

I take it the timelines with your friends don't add up?

voice;

[visiongirl]

No, not at all. They were talking about things that happened a while ago.

[And the things that happened since then? Everything with Jasmine and oh -- she's technically dead? And Angel brainwiping them all?

Yeah, she's not telling them any of that.]

voice;

[wasthemaster]

Normal for this place at any rate. The gods rarely have any sort of consideration for syncing up timelines.

voice;

[visiongirl]

Sounds like they don't have much consideration for anything.

[childofthewickedday]

....

[Stare]

Yes.

[Helpful child is helpful]

Re: [Video]

[visiongirl]

So I keep hearing.

[Video]

[5thchild]

Yes, it is possible.

Does it bother you?

Re: [Video]

[visiongirl]

A little. It does make things a little awkward.

voice;

[bloodypocket]

Past or future, dead or alive. There has been little regard for what times we are pulled from.

Is it something that is bothering you terribly?

voice;

[visiongirl]

Not terribly, but it's a little jarring.

[kuramaless]

It's weird ain't it?

I mean, me an' Sasuke turned up at the same time right? We remember the same stuff, but then like a couple of week later, Gaara turns up and-- he doesn't know anything, right? Not about... loads of stuff that's happened.

[visiongirl]

Yeah, I know lots of things my friends don't seem to and it's just...weird.

[Voice] hi there, late to the party!

[beforethewar]

[Why hello! There should at least be one Time Lord here to answer timey wimey questions!]

Past, and future, yes. I'm used to it, but I can see how it could mess with a human's mind when your view of time is so linear.

Did you have a specific problem you wished to talk about?

Re: [Voice] never too late!

[visiongirl]

Mostly trying to figure out what to tell friends of mine who are like a year behind me. Do I fill them in on the nitty gritty nasty details or keep it to myself?
