050; time travel

[maskemotion.livejournal.com]

You know. I don't like time travel.


Or I think I don't like it. I haven't really experianced real time travel, but I was in my future once, and it wasn't fun. I expect time travel to be something like that.

And it's absurd thinking time is linear. Flowing only one way and all the moments that already happened totally obliterated. Absolutely absurd.

How can you even tell if it's [gibberish and a Q wearing a party hat] or if it isn't [same exact gibberish, but lacking the party hat wearing Q]?

Because! When I say [gibberish with little confetti-like dots] it doesn't turn out like [gibberish and squigglies]!

Bloody castle! [more gibberish.

Journal recording some sounds of Valentine cursing verbally at the castle.

Followed by more written gibberish.]

We're getting absolutely no where. But this has to be important.

I know! Because we wouldn't all just lose the ability to say [gibberish, funny lines, a circle] at the same time! It makes no sense.

I don't think anyone can say it.

To tell the truth, I don't even know if my [gibberish, the greek letter for omega] is the same as yours!


But the question (as always) is: why?

[fantasticninth.livejournal.com]

Why not? There has to be something important about it, some detail we're missing. Maybe even a way out, if we listen closely enough. Why else go to all the trouble?

[maskemotion.livejournal.com]

Because it's absurd, that [gibberish]. Got to keep some skepticism too. What if it's happening to distract us from something else? But there's something going on. Definitely.

Like you said, even if it's a distraction it still means we're being distracted from something. So if we keep investigating we're bound to figure at least part of it out.

And it isn't like we can go anywhere, either, right?

If anything, it'll pass the time.
