WHAT Last chance for timefuck except not really
WHERE Wherever
WHEN Day 127, whenever

[So, you've been messing around with time.]

[Okay, we've actually been doing that, yeah. Quiet Mounds is still a bit unpredictable, with the seasons and the clocks a little haywire. Today, there's another little pulse of magic. Maybe some of you find yourself back to normal? Or maybe more people are suddenly the wrong age or timeline. Maybe Deadpool shows up. I don't know.]

[Last post for deage/age-up/etc event, though obviously you can continue to backthread or play at your leisure after this.]

Which part?

[coldhand]

I'd say the throwing up, but don't want to put too fine a point on it.

[divasterous]

I'm sort of dying but aren't we all?

[coldhand]

[shrugs slowly]

Some quicker than others.

[divasterous]

Right. So it's nothing to worry about. Probably.

[coldhand]

I didn't say I was worried. Or that you weren't dying quicker than some of the rest of us.

[divasterous]

I just . . . I'll just die if i stop using my magic to reverse it. That's all. So I'm sensitive to upheavals in magic around me.

[coldhand]

That sounds like dying a lot more actively than most of us.

[divasterous]

I'm doing my best with what I've got.

[coldhand]

Not judging. Just saying.

[and maybe concerned. what with the vomiting blood and the dying]

[divasterous]

. . .

Fiero had a huge crush on you.

[coldhand]

[wait what

just, clearing her throat]

So you remember that stuff?

[divasterous]

I remember all of it, yes.

Which is . . . weird, because I've never—I mean, I don't have any of Fiero's other memories. As it were.

[coldhand]

Sounds weird. On the other hand, I'm not sure how any of this shit is supposed to work.

[scuffing a little diagram in the dirt with his shoe]

Once upon a time there was a boy named Fiore. A bad thing happened and he nearly died. He went back in time and took on the name Vasily. So both "Fiore" and "Vasily" existed at the same time. When Vasily interfered with the flow of the timeline, Fiore ended up expelled from the school of magic at a much earlier point in his life, and took on the name Fiero. Fiero never became Vasily, but both Vasily and Fiero remember being Fiore. Follow?

[coldhand]

[visual aids are helpful]

Yeah, I think I follow.

[divasterous]

Mm. So Fiero's still . . . like me, but has a lot of experiences I don't.

[coldhand]

Good thing he picked a new name, or this would all be real confusing.

[spoilers: it's still confusing]

[divasterous]

[snorts]

Well . . . you only have me to deal with. For now.

[coldhand]

We've had enough different versions of people around here to last a while.

Not that you weren't great. Just... too much catching people up on what's going on.

[divasterous]

[he. blushes a little?]

Yes, well—thank you for putting up with—me. You were very kind.

[coldhand]

Don't worry about it. Guess I have a soft spot for punk kids.

[divasterous]

. . .

Steve was so cute.

[coldhand]

He makes you think that, then doesn't have the decency to realize the effect he has on people.

[divasterous]

[he laughs]

I think he's aware of the effect he has on me.
