6 Time Loops ☼ Text

[knightime]

this is a pretty important question
say you were here and left
for lets say
nine months and you happened to have a pet who hasnt seen you in
well
nine months
how would yo-
oh fuck it

how the fuck do you tame a wild chocobo???
because he isnt exactly playing friendly or coming home because i called his name out extra nicely
this is kind of important
id kind of like to get him back but i actually no ding dong about chocobos and how they work
no amount of video games has ever prepared me to actually catch wild chocobos

i also should probably be like
hey whos here
be all like
guess whos back
back again
striders back
call a friend
idk
its been kind of weird
i accidentally walked into a house that isnt actually mine anymore
im not going to elaborate on that for reasons but it was awkward
note to self
find a new place to stay and dont forget because sleeping out here seems like a bad idea
js

so
chocobo

... what's a chocobo?

[Text]

[knightime]

its a giant bird
if you know what an ostrich is
kind of like that except infinitely cuter and makes these weird kwark noises
they also come in the colors of the rainbow
ostrich was a terrible comparison tbh
but i cant really describe it passed like an ostrich and insert an adorable type of bird here had a baby

[Text]

[akumanotrill]

I see. Is it a native bird of this place?

[Text]

[knightime]

i dont think they are
but they definitely have gotten comfy here
i think theres a stable for them and everything last i checked

[Text]

[akumanotrill]

A stable...? So you can ride them?

[Text]

[knightime]

yea
they get pretty big tbh
its pretty cool
like i said
ostriches

[Text]

[akumanotrill]

I'll have to give this a try!

So you were here before then left? How?

[Text]

[knightime]

how i left?
i dont know
you dont actually get a choice as far as im concerned
it just happens

[Text]

[akumanotrill]

I see...

Did the people back in your world notice you were gone?

[Text]

[knightime]

no
you usually end up back there as though time has passed
honestly you dont even remember you were here until youre back here either
time basically doesnt pass anywhere else i guess
so even while time moves here you can assume were on a different timeline or universe completely
the flow of time work differently because of it

[Text]

[akumanotrill]

A completely different flow of time... well, I guess I don't really have to worry too much about back home then!

[Text]

[knightime]

yea
you might get sent back only to be brought back here
but time wont have passed and no one will notice you were gone in the first place
heck you probably wont remember being here at all

[Text]

[akumanotrill]

I see.

Thanks for telling me about this!

[Text]

[knightime]

naw dont worry about it
its shit worth knowing and kind of standard the longer youre here
i think its happened to a few other people so if i didnt tell you someone else would
eventually

[Text]

[akumanotrill]

So what's your name? I'm Hijiri.

[Text]

[knightime]

holy shit

[Text]

hopefully youll enjoy vatheon
for all its stupid bullshit its not the worst
kind of like a really awkward vacation with the fam sans the fam

[Text]

[akumanotrill]

Oh, you're American?

I will! Thanks, Dave!

[Text]

[knightime]

yea i am
im assuming youre not
but i think this conversation made that obvious

[Text]

[akumanotrill]

Yeah, I guess it did.
I'm Japanese.

[Text]

[knightime]

i could have guessed fro your name
it sounded really fucking anime

[Text]

[akumanotrill]

[laughs though this is text so...]

I guess that's a good thing...?

[Text]

[knightime]

i dont really have much exposure to that stuff passed anime or whatever shit that was popular on the internet
