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?

Comments

[timey_wimey]

I can already do both of those, but... I dunno, you and me could have a jellybean-catching competition or something when both of our big fat long periods of nothing coincide.

[fromacupboard]

That could be fun. It certainly would beat counting spiders. We'll have to get some jellybeans.

[timey_wimey]

We will at that. And maybe a worldhop if we wanted to do it properly.

So, you live with your aunt and uncle? They must be pretty boring sorts if you end up with so much nothing in your day all the time.

[fromacupboard]

I'll take any reason to worldhop.

They're boring and awful. The only reason I end up with so much nothing is because they'll lock me in my cupboard if they have nothing for me to do at the time. Or they're just in a bad mood. It's almost the same thing every day.

1/3 here comes the fanboyism

[timey_wimey]

I don't blame you one bit.

What, they actually do all of that to you?

[timey_wimey]

...

hang on. You live with an aunt and an uncle who are beastly to you and sleep in a cupboard?

[timey_wimey]

OH! My head! My head is so thick after being scrambled around as binary for months, you're Harry Potter! Oh, this is brilliant! I'm the Doctor, and let me tell you, it is an honour to meet you.

lmao i love him

[fromacupboard]

...why do people keep reacting that way?

Binary--? It's nice to meet you. Someone else said they were the Doctor on here. Do you know him?

he's a giant dork

[timey_wimey]

Oh, well, what can I say, you're famous.

Yeah, binary, long story short, had a bad day, wound up inside the community for a few months, but that's all sorted now. And yeah, I know him. Well, sort of. You see, he's me from an alternate future, sort of. It's difficult to keep the timelines straight on here.

[fromacupboard]

I'd ask why but apparently I'm not supposed to know yet. That's what everyone says. Hermione said it was something about books...

I'm glad that's sorted out. Binary doesn't sound pleasant. Oh. It is difficult. I have no idea what's going on half the time. Do I still call you both Doctor?

[timey_wimey]

Yeah, you'll want to avoid spoilers. It's no fun knowing about your own future, trust me.

It's not, really, it's very boring and a bit chilly. And well, you can call us both Doctor if you want, but if it helps, I'm the tenth and he's the eleventh, so you could also call us by our numbers if you wanted. If it really comes to that, that is.

[fromacupboard]

Alright. Someone like you would be the expert on that, right?

Chilly? I suppose the zeros would be cold numbers. No heat value. Just zero. Is there one through nine too?

[timey_wimey]

Not to put too fine a point on it, but yeah, I would be.

Yeah, but the first to ninth mes aren't on this community. Well, the fifth and the ninth me have dropped in here once or twice before, but I haven't seen them here in forever.

[fromacupboard]

That's brilliant.

And confusing. Do you ever lose track of yourself? I don't think I'd want to talk to another me.

[timey_wimey]

Well, it's a bit confusing when we accidentally bump into each other trying to figure out who comes from which point, and sometimes it ends up creating a stable time loop, but it's par for the course when you go around time travelling. Things sometimes happen in the wrong order.

[fromacupboard]

You're much better at keeping track of things than I am if you can do that. Or anyone I can think of.

[timey_wimey]

Oh, nah, not really. It's more like instinct in my people than anything else.
