001: Group Introductions - TEXT

[tarnishedavenger]

[During a lull in the party, Armstrong taps out a quick message to the network. Not that private one, he doesn't trust it. They can answer whenever they like, so long as he gets an answer. The trick would be wording it.]

So, we're all in this for now. You've had your welcome cake, but you can't meet everyone in a party, no matter how hard you try. But, since we've all been encouraged to sign up with Jorgmund, I figured now would be a good time to get some introductions done. Talk about any specialties we might have.

Share information that we feel comfortable sharing. This isn't to pressure anyone or to force out any dark secrets.

[Not where watchful eyes can see, at least.]

Besides, I prefer doing this to making a cute information sharing game.

So, please, make your own threads within this post to keep everything organized.

Are you concerned you got rescued by an elementary schooler? If so: relax, time guy, I'm seventeen.

listen have a little faith i wanted to make sure these assholes hadnt dragged in an especially precocious toddler

the earth calendar came to an abrupt halt in the year 2009 where im from so you understand the concern
should have guessed there was alt universe time fuckery at work though

I suppose that's fair, all things considered.

Yeah, it's 2017 where I am. World keeps trucking along, although apparently into four pieces that got smashed back together a few years ago? IDK, people have tried to explain it to me, but things get twisty and weird and I think reality got rebooted a little?

[turntex]

yeah that sounds about right
these things happen you know how it is

[credit_not_blame]

Yeah, I think it rebooted again after I had push some kind of eldritch horror back through the crack in existence so we could seal it out.

...That was a weird year.

do you remember anything wild happening in 2009 or were you still too much of a fetus to know what was going on in the world back then
just trying to figure out how much overlap weve got going on here

I think there was a really bad flu that year? And the US swore in our first President who wasn't a white guy, which everyone was really excited about. But I didn't get introduced to the potential for real wild things until fall of '15, so if anything did happen in 2009, I probably forgot about it with the rest of the world after someone slapped a patch on it.

oh shit
how did things with obama work out i was hells of bummed i never got to see that
did he fix the economy

[credit_not_blame]

We got eight years with him. The economy got better, but it doesn't really ever stay 'fixed', does it? We got some climate change efforts and less-than-ideal-but-better healthcare reform too.

[Just...please don't ask about the 2016 election.]
