[delightly]

Oh! This is such a new, wonderful experience. I really don't understand yet how this works, exactly - I don't think I've read any books in the castle on this, but I'm sure I'll get used to it, somehow! Besides, all journeys begin with a single step, don't they? I know mine did!

Again, Miss Mundane - thank you so much!

woah there pinky
you need to cheer up
cant come out here looking so dark and gloomy
like you just lost your puppy in the war
keep him in your memory
its okay to smile every now and again

[delightly]

...huh? But I was-- I don't think I was 'dark and gloomy' at all. Besides, I never had a dog of my own, so it's impossible for me to lose something I never owned in the first place.

[spinssickburns]

[oh no she's gullible and she's cute]
...
i dont know
i think its possible to lose something you never had
havent you heard of a missed opportunity
and what if in an alternate timeline you had a puppy
but in this one you dont
clearly you lost him

[kritya]

Oh? Has your mundane decided to bring you here?

[She chuckles to herself. Still, she'll keep a lookout on their little princess.]

I'm sure you will have a great time here.

[delightly]

Do you really think I do? And how would you know such a thing? Unless--

[ pregnant pause! ]

--unless you're from that alternate timeline yourself, and have come to tell me these things! But-- why? Why must you? Isn't it dangerous?

[delightly]

Judith! It's always a pleasure seeing you around. Have you been here very long? How are you?

[spinssickburns]

well to be honest i am the knight of time
not a big deal really just protect it from breaking down
keep time loops stable
make sure the alpha time line doesnt get messed up
try to see if i can keep off shoot timelines down to a minimum
those ones are depressing buy hey im getting side tracked

as the protector of time i got this shit on lock down dont worry
safe as a bottle of flint stones vitiams
its just an idea given to you
maybe you could have a puppy
the choice of what to do with the information is still up to you

[kritya]

I'm here from time to time whenever I feel like it and doing well. How are you handling it here so far, Estelle?

[blastiascience]

I don't think this is something you can read a book about.

[delightly]

I've been doing-- well, I'm not sure, really. I've been talking to this man who says he is the protector of time, and is from an alternate timeline than ours! Can you believe that such a person exists?

[delightly]

Rita! Oh, I'm so happy to see you!

[ preparing to engulf the mage in a joyful hug in three, two, one-- ]

[blastiascience]

[Argh did not expect a pre-emptive affection strike. She's more perplexed than anything else.]

What the-

Did something happen, Estelle?

[delightly]

No, nothing happened, really! Why do you think so?

[blastiascience]

People usually have a reason for being so... huggy, y'know.

[delightly]

Well, maybe my primary reason for being so affectionate is because I'm just really pleased to see so many familiar faces! I never thought I would, actually.

[blastiascience]

You can find just about anyone if you hang around for long enough.

Most of them are weirdos though.

[delightly]

I don't think I've met any weirdos around, Rita. Have you?

[blastiascience]

Oh, they find you. Somehow.

It's hard to get any work done when you have squirrel people and spoiled brats coming up to you, asking about "feelings".

[delightly]

Squirrel people?

[blastiascience]

She looked like a human but with a squirrel's tail and ears.

[kritya]

Is that so? This person sounds very interesting. I can't say I've run into such people myself.

[delightly]

Everything feels so-- well, vast, Judith! It's all so wonderful. It's like stepping out of the castle for the first time all over again.

[delightly]

I haven't met such people, but I'm sure they're very lovely - though why would they want to know about your feelings?

[blastiascience]

How should I know?

You voice one little complaint and suddenly they ask all these intrusive questions about "how you're feeling "and telling you what you should do to feel better. Like I even asked for their opinion in the first place!

[delightly]

Maybe they just want to help you feel better, though? Maybe they consider you their friend, Rita! Oh, I'm so glad for you!

[blastiascience]

Hold on! I never said that they could be my friend!

... even if their ears and tail were really cute...

[delightly]

I bet they are!

[blastiascience]

Just... just forget it, okay?!
