You guys weren't kidding.

Time travel's a hell of a thing.

How does that even work.

Did you remember past you knocking out present you when it happened? And couldn't you have talked to like, past you, and avoid the punching part.

Oh god. This is confusing me.

[rushing_by]

It doesn't really work that way. I still remember the previous timeline even when I alter the past.

I was trying to cause as few alterations to the timeline as possible, which is why I knocked out past Barry rather than talk to him. The reason I had to go back was because the person I needed to talk to was dead by my time, and telling past me that would've altered the timeline more than just punching him out did.

Of course, he woke up before everything was over, so the future was altered anyways, but it's the thought that counts.

[rushing_by]

[deafleppard]

Don't make me go "back in my day" on you. Cause I totally can.

[turntex]

back in your day what
back in your day you caused paradoxes and created doomed alt timelines willy nilly
see here sonny when i was a boy we had to wade through the timestream uphill both ways and when we tripped over our own corpses we fuckin liked it

[deafleppard]

Actually most of what I did was travel between different universes. Time travel didn't come until I made it here.

[deafleppard]

So how is it you know so much about ghosts? You just see them floating around and stuff?

[ordinarily]

[ It's a good thing this is over text, because for a moment, Danny almost freaked out. Almost. ]

i mean basically

first off my towns haunted and its not like its a big secret or anything

second off my parents are basically ghost hunters and have a lab in the basement

[deafleppard]

[Isn't that convenient.]

Wow.

I'm sorry.

[deafleppard]

[what the fuck.]

Your life is an actual sci-fi movie and I'm not sure how to feel about this.

Did you get what you needed, at least?
