How many of you are familiar with BOTH the concept and realities of time travel and the multiverse AND quantum physics?

[nepotis]

it's just a new version of a portmanteau.
neologisms are hardly new.
do you know how many words we use today are just shit Shakespeare made up?

[forasecond]

Oh, are we in literature class now?

[nepotis]

I have the finest education money can buy, don't you know?
have to show that off sometime.

[forasecond]

Kudos for retaining something from it, I guess that puts you ahead of the curb of the other boarding school kids.

[nepotis]

I retained exactly enough to make myself look like a smug asshole at social gatherings and on the internet.
I have a reputation to maintain, after all.

now, if only I had learned anything about multiverse theory or quantum physics.

[forasecond]

That makes an absurd amount of sense for who you are.

Clearly, you were hanging out in the wrong crowds.

[nepotis]

yeah, really starting to regret my lack of useful skills now that I'm stuck in another universe with no conceivable way home.

though TBH, this universe isn't so bad. having superpowers is kind of nice.

[forasecond]

You could learn a trade.

[Harry can't see the shit-eating grin on his face, but oh, just trust that it's there.]

It lost its novelty on me awhile ago.

[nepotis]

hard pass.

how many different universes/times/whatever have you been to, anyway? is this shit just another day to you?

apparently I never hit post RIP

[forasecond]

Welding will always be there for you.

Universes? Just this one. Timelines get more sketchy.

you hate to see it.

[nepotis]

no thanks. I don't look good in facemasks.

sketchy how?

[forasecond]

Aw, come on.
It wouldn't be THAT bad.

I've been in a lot of different parts of time.
It was my job to keep the timeline intact.



It wasn't as fun as it sounds.

[ There are times when a bouncing "so-and-so is typing" ellipsis says so much. Like in this instance, when it tells Harry he should stop asking questions. ]

fuck.
sorry.

[ What does he say to what is obviously trauma that he is not at all likely to be able to understand?

Clearly, what he does is change the subject with a haphazard attempt at a joke. ]

do you really think I could pull off a welding helmet?

[forasecond]

[It's cool. It's no big deal. Everything is fine.]

Why not?
My brother's 6 foot and wears my sister's skirts.

[nepotis]

that says more about your brother than it does about the general acceptability of any particular fashion choices.

[forasecond]

Who cares about what’s acceptable by arbitrarily chosen societal standards?
