[WRONG NUMBER TEXTING GET, though it's less a text and more a series of short videos.]

[Of a bunch of really adorably dumb cats.]

[pls enjoy.]

You got 10 minutes to get home or I'm feeding your dinner to them.

[potentiae]

[ Who is this? It's not one of her housemates' usernames. ]

What? No? How dare you??!!

[kahunyaa]

[And this is absolutely not his kid's username. So because Nanu is such a nice guy-]

8 minutes.

[potentiae]

I am all the way on the other side of town! It is physically impossible for me to reach home within the next eight minutes. I don't have access to a teleportation circle!!

[kahunyaa]

I'm failing to see how your poor planning is my problem, and yelling at me is just wasting time.

7 minutes.

[potentiae]

I'm running! Do not give my food to the animals! I cannot run and type at the same time!

[kahunyaa]

[Should he ease up and tell this person before they get all the way home, or...]

[Nah.]

They're really eyeing those noodles. Better hurry.

[potentiae]

DNO'T

[ She really can't type and run at the same time. So she's just going to shove her Oracle in her bag and focus on getting back to her cottage as quickly as possible.

It's not until she gets there and finds that Aurora, Jasmine, and Belle aren't even there, and there is no dinner waiting to be fed to a cluster of cats, that she even thinks to pull out her Oracle again and text that mysterious number back. ]

Who are you?!

[BUSTED]

Before you get too pissed at me, you left yourself wide open for it.

[potentiae]

I'm sorry?? I left myself "wide open" how? By having a random video of cats sent to me out of the blue, completely unprompted?

Do you recall our conversation in the library?

[potentiae]

About the box you travel in? Yes, I remember.

video permaprivate

[borntolove]

No, not about that. About the fact that I hypothesized that people not only are coming from other universes but also that they could come from the same universe but from different whens.

[potentiae]

Oh, yes, of course! That conversation. [ She laughs. ] We've had our fair share of conversations in the library.

[borntolove]

Right, yes! Sorry. We did. Anyways, I have a friend here from my universe who is ahead of me, just a bit, anyways.

[Elias normally leaves Jimothy to overseeing the daily operations of Spellbound Stationery, only intervening with account-keeping and making sure its few staff are paid. He drops by today anyway, a little before noon, carrying a wooden lunchbox in one hand as he flags Poppy down with the other.]

Hey. How's the shop today?
