[And then, like flipping a switch:]

Ahahaha... I see, I see! That's why you didn't recognize me. From your point of view, we haven't met yet! [Rapid mumbling. Like a nerd.] So it's not only spatial, but temporal... Oooohh, this is amazing...

[alitaba]

[ that sure was a reaction ]

Y......eah?

[ tilts her head. who is this person and how much does she know??? ]

I was talking to someone earlier who was from May and there are definitely a few people absolutely Not From Earth so.....

[Sometimes, the future adults in your life just be like that.

But she nods, nods, nods along.]

I've noticed that myself. There are people from all kinds of words here. There's even someone who thinks of jumping between dimensions as public transportation! Can you believe it?

[alitaba]

Jumping dimensions!?

[ the sheer diversity of this multi world isekai ]

What the heck, that's so cool!!

I know, right?! I asked them to put in a good word for me with the company.

[alitaba]

Somebody mentioned orbal technology to me but what the heck sign me up for this instead.

[txt]

Orbal technology, too?!

[DRAMATIC GASP.]

Ohhhh, my inner researcher is squealing with delight! Can you imagine all the devices we could bring back with us? This is even better than the junk parts you procured for me.

[alitaba]

We could rake in millions producing some of the tech they have....!

[ wait ]

Junk parts???

[txt]

Yes! The junk... [A beat.] ... A-Ah, right. I guess you wouldn't know about that yet. But, wait— Have I already said too much about the future? I haven't even stopped to think about the implications.

[alitaba]

I think it was a little late once we broke the time continuum. [ space/time has no meaning in isekai ]

[txt]

O-Oh, I guess the horse has left the barn...

[alitaba]

[ she giggles. ]

It'll be real interesting when we get back. Like, will I remember before you? Will you know when I get back?

What about multiple universes? We might have just created a new branch in the timeline.

[alitaba]

[ o: !!!!!!!!!!! ]

We've created our own timeline!!
