Edie is walking home from school. It's something she's done hundreds, thousands of times before. It's later than usual, but not really out of the ordinary--sometimes clubs let out late. It happens.
It's a perfectly safe route.
she's not really happy about the part where she keeps losing her memories but she's way less happy about the evil aliens and apocalypse. she's less unhappy with the memory loss with the prospect of being able to wish her memories back on after. she prefers that if we go into a loop with the intention of doing something that will/could make her not want that loop's memories back that we keep it short if we can so there's less collateral damage. she's worried about me.
She sounds very sensible.
I think I forgot to tell you my name, I'm Bella
oh, good, I'm no longer in danger of accidentally naming you your phone number in my head.
oh, and she prefers that if we're going to keep a loop longer than a day or two she be brought up to speed as much as possible; she expects operating on more complete information to make reintegrating the memories less confusing later on.
she's very sensible, at least in situations where she isn't under a lot of emotional and time pressure
She can write herself a letter and I can scan it to my laptop and email it to her? Easier than having the same conversation over and over
I usually don't tell my parents anything but I have letters from them for when it seems prudent
I'm less worried about my parents, and frankly I'd be less worried about my sister if we weren't twins.
The letter thing sounds like it would work although she'd probably want to update it periodically.
k she'll send it when it's done
besides wish experiments what do you have planned
tracking the witch, figuring out how to take the wish thing, that's the big stuff
I can't afford to treat loops as expensive so sometimes I take one off
went to Chile once, so sick of winter
makes sense
probably best to coordinate so other longer-term stuff is happening while Emily's doing efficiency experiments
vacation probably counts as longer-term although idk how you vacation so
I load up on easy-to-get seeds and go somewhere and make shameless use of counterfeit
nice
I could probably recommend a lot of museums if you were into that
do you have any plans for this loop in particular?
this one is just to get a clean loop in which to talk to you without the risk the fluffs were reading your mail, I did the standard steal a car get out of town thing but just by default
okay
I'm trying to come up with a sensible order of operations for experiments but mostly what I've got is just more reasons to frontload the mental enhancements thing
yeah I want those worded REALLY carefully though if they might be hard to change
thanks!
oh, you know what else we should test, see if we can get any wishes to go through that the fluff said she couldn't
if there's stuff that we could do but that wouldn't be efficient enough for the fluff to want to enable it
I guess they could be better at reading people than they seem but lying to them doesn't seem hard
any ideas for acquiring a fluff for wishing without letting them know about the loop?
how old are you two, even odds they already stalk you and if you go outside and say I wish that whatever they show up and go reaaaaaaally? :3c
yeah they're totally gonna be stalking you you're like fluff candy and you expire soon
