So here's the thing: ignoring the whole not technically real bit-- since, y'know, been there, done that long enough, thanks-- I gotta give credit to this world for somehow trapping me here. Noooot exactly something that's ever happened to me before. Way to go! Buuut I'm getting ahead of things. Kinda jumped right in with the dialogue without properly introducing myself, woops. The name's Lea. Got it memorized?

Great, now that I've got that covered, I've just got a couple of questions I'd like answered. First off, anyone seen any kids with giant keys hanging around? Or, well, okay, anyone with a giant key, I guess. It prooobably sounds weird, but it's kind of important. Aaand the other thing is, all kudos to the world barrier for being able to block me aside, is there anyone here working on figuring that thing out? 'Cause if there is, I'd definitely be willing to be part of that getting-the-heck-out-of-here committee. Just sayin'!

Thaaat's pretty much it. Thanks.

Is that so? How long've you been around?

I went and looked this up, just for you

[maiditoutalive]

as of the time you made the post
three hundred and nineteen days eight hours seventeen minutes and twenty eight seconds
i can break it down further if you want

im so glad i made you do this

[rescuerdownunder]

[okay, that's. that's giving him deja vu what is it with kids and counting???]

No, I think we're good. Though I gotta admit I'm kinda surprised you kept track of the seconds...

[maiditoutalive]

time is my thing
keeping track of how it runs happens naturally

[rescuerdownunder]

Yeah? Sounds familiar to someone else I used to know. Can't say I get it.

[maiditoutalive]

well if you dont time travel its not something youd need
people who live linearly tend to have a limited perspective
its just how it goes

[rescuerdownunder]

... You can time travel?

[and remember it??]

[maiditoutalive]

yes i do it all the time
that way i can have perfect attendance in school and skip every single day as well
and still have time to do everything else i wanted to do
but before that i did it for slightly more important reasons

[rescuerdownunder]

Thaaat doesn't sound like the time travel I know.

[or heard of for two minutes whatever]

[maiditoutalive]

theres room for more than one kind of time travel on this island

[rescuerdownunder]

Fair enough. Yours sounds way less contrived anyway.

[if he only knew]

[maiditoutalive]

what does that mean

[rescuerdownunder]

Means I'm pretty sure where I come from, the guy who time travels made it up to be a jerk.

[maiditoutalive]

what
how do you make up time travel
its either a thing or it isnt

[rescuerdownunder]

Oh, it's a "thing". It just seemed pretty convenient in all the worst ways.

[maiditoutalive]

oh we have a guy like that
i wouldnt worry too much about it in the end

[rescuerdownunder]

Yeah? You sound pretty confident.

[maiditoutalive]

yes its a maid of time thing :)

[rescuerdownunder]

... Is that supposed to be a pun?

[maiditoutalive]

it is most definitely a pun

[rescuerdownunder]

That was terrible.

[maiditoutalive]

thats what makes it great
