Is this really how time works for normal people? You know... everything going by slowly, in the right order, with big long periods of nothing?

How on earth do any of you cope?

Have you finished the jobs that Papa gave you already?

[timey_wimey]

About... oo, maybe an hour ago?

Generally we just find ways to get rid of the "nothing".

[timey_wimey]

The problem is I go through most of the ways to get rid of the nothing too quickly.

[philoxidizes]

Usually, we have to resort to bizarre human rituals called "hobbies".

[timey_wimey]

Really? I never would have guessed.

[deathfangirl]

its n0t that bad really
messing with the cl0sed time l00ps and all
and trying n0t t0 accidentally d00m myself 0r destr0y the universe
is a l0t m0re c0mplicated
i alm0st miss the 0ld way t0 live

[timey_wimey]

Wait, hang on, messing with closed time loops, more to the point messing with time at all? You can do that, Aradia?

[carriesparasol.livejournal.com]

I've never considered the things I do as coping.

What exactly makes you different to ask for "normal people"?

[timey_wimey]

Well, to make a long story short, until the end of last year I spent most of my time flying around time and space in a big blue box and finding trouble and adventure around every corner.

Thing is, I'm grounded now, and after hundreds of years of all that, trying to do things normally is... well, it's a bit boring.

[fromacupboard]

Basically. I cope with daydreaming.

How would time go otherwise?

[timey_wimey]

I get a bit too restless for that. Not that that's a bad suggestion though, I'm just a bit twitchy, me.

Do you have the same problem with great big chunks of nothing in your day, then?

[timey_wimey]

Well. Each to their own, I suppose... but then again I'm talking to you lot right now, aren't I?

[reloadfromsave]

I suppose that when I was in the hospital, I read a lot of books...

[timey_wimey]

True, I could always catch up on my reading. I'd have to get ahold of some books first, though, they're in shockingly short supply up here.

[itsadeadmansparty]

Video games. Got an hour to kill? Tetris. Got six? Warcraft.

[timey_wimey]

Is that really what it comes down to now, video games?

... well, I suppose I've got nothing better to do, and I have always wanted to see how fast I can beat a game of tetris.

[lone-defender.livejournal.com]

It's easier when you haven't had the luxury if skipping the boring bits and redoing the interesting ones.

[timey_wimey]

Yeah, I'm starting to get that.

[infinite-arcana.livejournal.com]

I'd say study or read, but you're brilliant and I'm incredibly boring lately.

[timey_wimey]

Oh, I wouldn't say you're boring. If I could find enough books to read I'd do some more reading, but they're in short supply up here.

[samuraiprosecutor]

You'd be surprised what a man can cope with when it's the only way he's ever known.

[timey_wimey]

Yeah, yeah, alright! We're not all used to existing in linear time, you know.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

Keep yourself occupied and time will fly by... Although not as quickly as you may be used to.

[timey_wimey]

I suppose I'd better start making a list of things to do.

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

The few times i've ended up in the wrong parts of my timeline make me want to stay on course.

[timey_wimey]

My personal timeline's been a giant scribble for years, as long as I don't visit anywhere and when I've been before I'm usually good at steering clear of that sort of trouble.

[pinball-baby.livejournal.com]

How else would it work?

[timey_wimey]

Wibbly-wobbly, if you're a time traveller.

[mybffharo.livejournal.com]

If you're really bored I could loan you one of the games Tamaki sent me for my birthday.

[timey_wimey]

What games did he send you?

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

I've heard knitting is useful. And fighting!

[timey_wimey]

I don't know, I've never really been one for either...

[traptinacoffin.livejournal.com]

You start to get creative, after a while.

[timey_wimey]

Define creative.

[noirnoshirayuki.livejournal.com]

I suppose one finds things that are new and intriguing. It shouldn't be that difficult, I would hope.

[timey_wimey]

Finding things isn't the problem, not really. It's making them last long enough.

[prof-bumblebee.livejournal.com]

We're used to it, I think.

[timey_wimey]

I suppose you are.
