"...I wouldn't do it yet. Your, um, current self doesn't know...you can do that. And you haven't gone yet so, um, you you might disappear. Next time though, you'd be aware of the ability, so it should be fine to talk to yourself or whatever."

"Whoah. That's...almost more intense that what I was doing.

I was ALL the technology in the universe. At the same time. Even alien technology that hasn't been discovered yet. Even natural crystals that work as circuit-boards a galaxy away.

If your thing wasn't so awesome I'd punch you for interrupting it.

Anyway, you should go ask the researchers what the implications of meeting yourself are. I'm sure if you can tell them how it works, they'll be able to figure out SOMETHING. Oh and be sure to tell Max about this - he'll absolutely love being proved right."

Rolled 22

>>23804595
Don't cause a paradox. Unless you have already been contacted by yourself, don't contact you past self. Let's talk with the researchers if they have any nifty ideas about causality.

>>23804595
"Interrupting yourself now would prevent you from gaining that ability, which will probably do all sorts of nasty things to causality. So don't do it. This time anyway. Actually, you probably shouldn't do it until the researchers know about this."

>>23804595
"Um, don't risk it. I've found that is usually the best course of action."

"Nice last name, by the way, you never told me."

"... I wouldn't do it yet." You say. "Your, um, current self doesn't know... you can do that. And you haven't gone yet, so, um, you might disappear. Next time though, you'd be aware of the ability, so it should be fine to talk to yourself or whatever."
Then you saw the display beep, and suddenly it said 'Inhabitant: Empty, Time Remaining: Fifteen minutes.'
Damien was quiet.
"Why would I want to talk to myself?" He asked.
"Whoah." You say, and look at the display again - it was empty. "That's... almost more intense than what I was doing."
"What were you doing?" He asked, and started reaching for the shirt hanging on the curtain rod.
"I was... looking at all the technology in the universe." You say. "At the same time. Even alien technology that hasn't been discovered yet. Even natural crystals that work as circuit boards a galaxy away. If your thing wasn't so awesome, I'd punch you for interrupting it."
"You'd punch a blind man?" Damien asked, tossing his shirt on.
"Anyway, you should go ask the researchers what the implications of meeting yourself are." You say. "I'm sure if you can tell them how it works, they'll be able to figure out *something*."
"But I don't know how it works." Damien said. "I still can't use clairvoyance, but I was just thinking about earlier, and then I was suddenly... well, there. I don't even know the implications, or if I'll even be able to do it again."

>>23804749
shrug "It could be worth to explore it and talk about it. They may give you an exercise that can replicate this effect."

>>23804749
"Well if you can figure out how to control it, it means you could change things after they actually happen. Probably. I imagine changing yourself in some way would be bad though."

>>23804749
"Well, you did it once, so obviously it's possible. And if the researchers know about it they can try to figure out what will happen if you accidentally cause a paradox or something."

>>23804749
"Hey, can do it once, you can do it again. You should make notes of what you were thinking about as quick as possible before you forget too much, in case it's helpful to figure things out."

>>23804749
"If it's been done once, then it can be done again. I don't really have any advice for you here, because I don't really do the whole future sight thing."

>>23804749
hey maybe that what I did when I "dreamed"of the attack

>>23804749
"The implications are massive. It's *time travel*. I know we give the middle finger to known physics regularly, but that's crazy."

>>23804817
Nah, there weren't two of us when we came back.

>>23804749
"Hmm... I wonder how time travel works. If it has to have happened so that you'll do it, or if you can just go and change things and the universe's timeline adapts to it, or if it'll just split off another timeline..."

"Hey, if you can do it once, you can do it again." You say. "And if the researchers know about it, they can try to figure out what will happen if you accidentally cause a paradox or something."
"It probably just adds a whole new dimension to the way the future changes." Damien said. "In that the past can change, too. It'd probably either give all of you headaches like I get. Or none of you would even remember the, uh, original timeline thing."
He shrugged. "I don't want to risk it."
"The implications are massive." You say. "It's *time travel*. I know we give the middle finger to known physics regularly, but that's crazy."
Damien just sighed. "Any chance you could walk me to the researchers' common room?"
You call up Einstein's map, and start to walk.

"Hmm... I wonder how time travel works. If it has to have happened so that you'll do it, or if you can just go and change things and the universe's timeline adapts to it, or if it'll just split off another timeline..."
"... My visions are probably related to it, I think." Damien said- he looked like he wanted to reach out and grab your hand, unsure about walking through the hall. "I'm... not sure why I think that. It's just intuition."

>>23804895
Take his hand.
"Maybe that's what you see in your vision? Every timeline that could have happened?"

>>23804895
"Our intuition is usually right about things like that."

>>23804895
sigh and take his hand.
"Come on."

>>23804895
"How old were you when you developed your clairvoyance?"

>>23804976
He didn't even know he was blind until he learned about psionics.

"Come on." You say, and grab his hand, dragging him a bit faster. "Maybe that's what you see in your visions? Every timeline that could have happened?"
"No, no." He said. "I only see one thing. One thing that changes when people change things based on what I see."
"How old were you when you developed your clairvoyance?"
"Ever since I was born, I could see." Damien said. "Until I got a medical checkup and they were confused that my ocular nerves were deformed, though I could still see. I've been able to see the future since... a few weeks ago, back when I saved Max. That was the first time."

>>23804991
"Well, in that case, maybe what you see is your brain, in the future, transmitting parts of your consciousness backwards through time, which would explain why it changes when you alter things."

>>23804991
"Can't you get transgened to fix the blindness?"

>>23805126
yea ask this.
I am little confused why his blindness can't be fixed.

"Well, in that case, maybe what you see is your brain in the future, transmitting parts of your consciousness backwards through time, which would explain why it changes when you alter things."
Damien thought about it.

"... I've never seen myself dead." He said. "I've never died in any of my visions." He shivered involuntarily, and eventually, you were standing in front of the researchers' lounge.
"Can't you get transgened to fix the blindness?"
"I don't even need to be transgened. Just basic surgery and therapy would be good enough." Damien said, and shrugged "I just haven't gotten around to it. I'll do it eventually. I can already see most of the time, though."
You reached forward and hit the button next to the door. It chimed, and Professor Neva was standing there, glasses on. She wasn't wearing a labcoat, which felt strange to you.
"Ruste, Leery." She said. "Can I do anything for you?"
"I just traveled in time." Damien said. "Check the isolation chamber logs and the cameras outside of the chamber if you don't believe me."

The professor was silent for some time.
Then she closed the door. A few minutes later, a rougishly handsome, unshaven man in a labcoat stepped out. "Come on, Damien." He said. Then he nodded to you. "I don't think we've been introduced. I'm Jason. This guy's counselor. You're, uh... which one... Summer? Anna?"
Then he grinned.
"Ah, I know. You're Sarvesh's sister! Nice to meet you, Pheles."

>>23805227
"Dohohoho, you sure know how to joke, mr...?#

>>23805227
"And you must be incredibly silly."

>>23805227

"are you and professor Neva dating?"

>right back at ya funny man

>>23805227
"Hahaha funny." give him unimpressed look.

>>23805227
"Yes, I'm a centaur in a tiny human suit. Nice to meet you."

>>23805227
"Pleased to meet you, Jason."

Error beep on his personacom

"Yes, I'm a centaur in a tiny human suit." You say, giving him an unimpressed look. "Nice to meet you, Jason."
He nodded. "You as well, Heather. Anyway. Time travel." He said, turning back to Damien. "Me and the professor took a look at the logs, and it did look like there are two of you. Your body, uh, the one in the chamber, didn't show any calorie loss until right before he vanished, and ended up with the precise same biometrics as the body that, uh, appeared."
He turned to you and back to Damien.
"You with me here?"
"Not entirely. What are you implying?" Damien asked.
"Well, we're implying that you didn't manifest a second body and demanifest your own later, like the professor thought." Jason said. "It looks like it's legitimate time travel. Which means the ramifications are *astounding*. I mean, Anna's entropy reversal is one thing, but time travel, twisting around cause and effect... I mean, whoah."
"So uh, do you have any idea how it works? Or paradox?" Damien asked.
"... Objectively, there is no way to know. No tests we could run, no experiments to run, nothing at all we can do." Jason said. "The most we can do is record everything we can. That's the problem. Everything... is subjective. To you. You're the one who has the ability, so you likely have some sort of... I don't know... inertia."
He turned to you. "Any questions?"

>>23805439
"Nope. I'm just helping Damien whilst his sight recovers."

>>23805439
"So no idea if he has to have already gone back and changed something so that he can go back and change it, or if he'll end up making another timeline or anything like that then?"

>>23805439
"Well, I had a theory that that's how his precognition works, his brain sending signals to itself back through time, but I'm not a researcher, so..."

>>23805439
"Oh man, you have to check if you can bring anything with you when you do it."

>>23805439
"Lots. But like you just said, no answers."

"Well, I had a theory that that's how his precognition works, his brain sending signals to itself back through time, but I'm not a researcher, so..."
"Probably more elegant than the 'quantum ultra-predictive supercomputer' idea, actually." Jason said. "If that's it, then that suggests a few things about Damien's time travel. One being that there's merely a single timeline that's mutable and shifting."
"So no idea if he has to have already gone back and changed something so that he can go back and change it, or if he'll end up making another timeline, or anything like that, then?"
"We have no idea. Because if he does go back in time, then he might end up in a different timeline. And if he did, then we won't know anything relevant." He said. "Though I do intend on giving you, Damien, a password for all of the logs, so that you can go back through them and see if anything is different from what you remember it as."
"That might be useful." He responded.
"Also, all previous passwords, and I'll add the future passwords to a list for you." He said.
"Oh man, you have to check if you can bring anything with you when you do it." You say.
"I already did. I brought my pants." Damien said.
"Good man." Jason said. "Life advice; Never lose your pants. Your pants are the most important thing on your person."

>>23805439
"Nah, Oh I found a perfect crystal lattice a few galaxies, um..."
Point finger
"That way."

"Sorry, I just want some attention."

>>23805575
"I thought the most important thing on your person is your towel."

>>23805602
Definitely a towel.
You can even wrap it around your waist and use it instead of pants.

>>23805575
"Hey! I also experienced something cool.
I managed to sense ALL kinds of tech in this universe. Like an alien crystal lattice in a different galaxy. OR an implant that floats in space just waiting to be picked up."

>>23805575
"I think I'm going to go train up a bit on the TK array. I'll leave Einstein with you in case you need to get around anymore, Damien."

>>23805602
>>23805602
this say this and go on about useful they are

>>23805575
"That is not how you pronounce towel."

>>23805575

we should relay our experience in the isolation chamber to our scientist.

it's not time travel but we could sense all tech in direction, at a distance of forever.

should thank Jilly for her advice.

"That is not how you pronounce towel." You say.
"... this is going to be an inane argument, won't it?" Damien asked.
"It is how you pronounce pants." He responded.
"Well, Damien, seems your clairvoyance is coming back. Or they're predictable." Damien mumbled to himself.
"The most important thing on your person is your towel. You can wrap it around your waist and use it instead of pants, you can dry things, you can use it as a rope, you can cover your mouth to be safe from noxious fumes..." You say.
"There's one thing a towel can't do that pants can. Aside from have pockets." Jason said. "Keep your dignity. You can beg, borrow, or steal a personacom or a towel, but without pants, you're without dignity."
He gave you a grin.
"I think I'm going to go." You say. "I'll leave Einstein with you in case you need to get around anymore, Damien."
"Alright." Damien said, and nodded. "Thank you."

The two of them made their way down the hall, going somewhere. It's only an hour after class by now, and dinner wasn't for another four.
>Where do you go?

>>23805725
Telekinesis practice range.

To practice the most useful skill.

>>23805725
report the crystal computers a galaxy over

>>23805725
go back into the isolation chamber to check out those crystals and shit again, maybe we can talk to aliens?

>>23805725
What >>23805751 said, and after that to get some food in the cafeteria.

>>23805779
Don't forget Dave's spine, it's out there too.

>>23805797
You just blew my fucking mind

First things first.
"Einstein, send-" You say, and pause.
Oh.
Instead you pull up your omnitool, and quickly write up a message to Dr. Manus, about the wild crystal, and the other things you'd seen in the isolation chamber, and you end the note with a mention that you plan on going up to the telekinesis array. Message sent, you... go up to the telekinesis array.

"Oh, hello." Keen said, with a wave. "We've gotten to the point with TK that we don't need the researchers here anymore. Just, uh, let 'em have it." He said, waving his arm to the array.

>Finesse? Strength? Something else with TK?
>also, roll for practice.

This but with a better roll

Focusing on the array, you start trying to widen your finesse, getting more control over the ability. You start moving spheres of the array individually, trying to do so either precisely as possible, or by moving as many things as possible. After getting up to moving six objects individually, you mind eventually grows fuzzy, and then you can only move five properly, and eventually, four. It wasn't a failure of a session in any way, it was just rather... lackluster.

"Here're your snacks." Keen said, giving you a smoothie and a biscuit. "Ooh, also, Manus heard I had a cat, so he asked for this for you." He said, and out of his pocket pulled out...
A large, airtight canister, full of catnip.
"You'd be amazed by the way you forget things in your pockets when you make your way to work - especially when work is a several dozen lightyears away."

"You have done a great deed today."

>>23806064
>dis gon be good.

"Huehuehuehue." You giggle, taking it in hand and stowing it in your bag. You notice that it doesn't have a label, and one end just... twists off. "You have done a great deed today. Thanks, Keen."
"... Be careful." He said, and chuckled, as you make your way out of your room.

You find Summer and Anna in your room, talking about the Ishelda, Anna sitting in a manifested chair, while Summer and her manifestation sat on her bed.
"Hey, Heather." Summer said.
Anna gave you a wave.

>>23806110
"Hey. Anna, where'd you put the alcohol?"

I'm already calling this experiment as a grand failure, and Summer doesn't even react to it (or only mildly)

>>23806110
Greetings fair ladies.
I have returned, and I bring gifts.
Anna, is that little something something available, for now would be the time.

>>23806110
"Hey! Hope whatever you two did today was more productive than what I did, cause things got pretty frustrating towards the end."

"Greetings, fair ladies." You say. "I have returned, and I bring gifts." You say. "Hey, Anna, where'd you put the alcohol?"
"Mostly in my room." She said. "And here and there."
"Alcohol?" Summer asked. "Aren't we too young?"
Anna grinned. "The things you can get as an ex-mercenary." She said. "Also, you're technically an adult, biologically."
Summer sighed. "You make me feel old."
"Anyway, you want me to go grab it?" Anna asked. "Should I also grab someone else?"

Rolled 30

>>23806218
"Nah, it's girls only night."

>>23806236
Jilly is sort of a girl.
Can she drink alcohol?

>>23806218
"Hmmm...I'd feel bad leaving anyone out, but who knows if everyone's free, and obviously we'd have to move since this room can't fit 6 people, much less Sarvesh. Plus, do we even have anything for Jilly? I don't know if she can imbibe/get drunk on alcohol."

>>23806248
>I have no mouth but I must drink

>>23806248
Oh yea, I forgot that Jilly existed.
Invite her then.

>>23806218
"You grab it. I'd say grab Jilly, too, but I don't know if alcohol will even affect her, or if she'll get sick from it. Also, Summer, I got this! *Produce catnip* Have you ever tried catnip before?"

>>23806275
>Whoops, should be
"Go grab it.

>>23806218
We should probably avoid getting Sarvesh drunk until this issue with Damien is resolved, and Max would be a total buzzkill.

Invite Jilly though, if she can even drink, if not, she'll probably enjoy being here anyway.

>>23806218
Exabyte, do uplifts have extended life spans?
If not you're making me sad, right now.

>>23806291
He answered that. Some do. Max doesn't.

>>23806291
They do, if I remember.

>>23806291
He said Summer was engineered for that but Max doesn't because he was a late uplift by a crazy amateur terrorist group.

>>23806291
I think it was said that early uplifts like Summer do, but late uplifts like Max don't.

>>23806218
"Your choice, but, I've got a gift for Summer!"

"Well, I hope it's a gift."

>>23806291
>They don't, no. The average uplifted tiger could live up to 30-40 years, with modern medical science.
>Summer, however, has been transgened to have an extended lifespan. So yes, she'll live as long as a human.

"Hmm..." You say. "Do we even have anything for Jilly? I don't even know if she can get drunk on alcohol."
"She can." Anna said. "We've talked about it. Her and her mom went out to go drinking once. Well, not drinking, more of 'absorbing', but yeah, she can."
"Invite Jilly, and go grab it. It's girls only night."
"Okay. I'll be back!" Anna said, and got to her feet.
"Also, summer, I got this!" You say, and pull the canister out of your bag.
"What is it?" Summer asked.
"Have you tried catnip before?" You ask.
"... No...?" Summer asked. "Does that even work on tigers? I thought it was only tiny housecat things."

"We shall see."

"I have no idea!" You say. "We'll have to find out. If you want, of course."
"Okay." She said, and twisted it open with a paw.
Then she sniffed at it, warily, and then her nose started shaking.
"IT SMELLS LIKE REALLY GOOD." She said. "It's everywhere!"
She tried licking it, and knocked the cap off, sniffing and licking at it so more.

Anna came back, Jilly slithering in behind, around the time Summer was rolling around on her back, giggling uncontrollably about being dizzy.

"Anna!" She said, legs curled into the air. She kicked a leg once or twice, and started purring.

>>23806477
"Catnip!"
This should be said the same way Ishelda says "Magic!" of course.

>>23806477
"Catnip confirmed as functional on tigers."

"I guess the Ishelda can wait one more day, Anna."

>>23806477
"Hopefully you won't get hyper-stimulated by all that 'nip."

>>23806477
Close the lid.
"Now don't use to much, you're starting without us Summer."

"Catnip!" You say.
"Catniip~, heheheheh." Summer said, rolling to her feet, and ramming the side of her head into yours, bowling you back on your bed. You close the lid, and stow it away.

Anna was silent. Then she sighed.
"Summer, can you manifest me a table? Well, never-"
"I CAN DO THAT." Summer said, and focused.

A table appeared. Its legs also had the rigidy of cooked noodles, and flopped down. Anna lifted up half of the table, experimentally, and the entire surface wobbled like jello.

"Um."
Jilly flashed yellow and started giggling.
"You want to start with mixed drinks, or shots?" Anna asked. You were mildly distracted by the fact that summer was now pinning you to your bed with her paws, sniffing at your face and hair.

>>23806556
"Mixed drinks. Shots are kinda strong to be starting with, aren't they?"

>>23806556
"Haha, sorry Anna, I didn't know it would effect her so quickly."

>>23806556
"Um, shots, I guess. Nothing too heavy though!"

>>23806556
"Whatever you think is best."

>>23806556

"mix something for me while i escape certain fluff."

>>23806556
"Well I don't have any experience, so why don't you recommend something."

>>23806556

"also remember to have your bio reader equipped!"

>>23806556
"Got any recommendation herr kommandant?"

We could install a L/RADAR on Einstein?

"Mix something for me while I escape." You say. "Shots are kinda strong to be starting with, aren't they?"
"Good point." Anna said. "Jilly, you want anything in particular?"
"Nothing in particular. Just make sure it dosn't have dairy."
"Also, remember to have your bio reader equipped!"
"I do." Anna said.
Summer giggled again, and then started licking at your face and eyes.
"Blech. You taste like sweat." She said. Then she continued licking at you.
"You want some help?" Jilly asked.
"Yes!" Summer said. "This would be easy with all your tongues."
"I um... meant Heather." Jilly said. "What are you even trying to do?"
"... I don't know." Summer said, climbed off of you, and chuffed.

While you wipe off your face, Anna sets out a drink in front of you.
"This should be pretty sweet for you. And Jilly, here."

>>23806664
"Thanks! What is it?"

>>23806664
Drink it, then scritch Summer.

>>23806664
"Thanks, Anna. You make a great bartender."

>>23806664
"Well, here goes nothing!"

>>23806664
Pat fluffy tiger.

>>23806664

easy does it, let's take our time drinking it.

>>23806664
Time to find out if the Ballmer Peak affects psions as well as programmers.

"Well, here goes nothing!" You say, and take a sip. It was both sweet and bitter, and the smell seemed to make your nose bubble - but it tasted kind of like coffee. "What is it?"
"Kahlua, Vodka and then some sugary soda and a bit of cream." Anna said, and upended her drink.

Jilly twisted her tail around, and simply poured her drink into her 'lap'. It was a rather strange sight.

You start patting Summer, scratching at her ears and fur, and she started purring. For a moment, you see a strange swarm of Somethings floating around Summer, half-manifested from her mind.
"She's only semiconscious." Jilly said, and tilted her head. "It's rather strange."

>>23806772
"Heheh."

Keep scratching.

>>23806772

"let's keep her off catnip for now, seems like it did quite a number on her."

>sleep time.
>goodnight gentlemen.

>>23806772
"Oh dear, I didn't think the catnip would have this quick and strong of an effect."

>>23806772
"Maybe in future...not so much of the stuff."

>>23806772
"Next time, it'll just have to be a spoonful of the stuff, rather than the entire container."

"Let's keep her off catnip for now. Seems like it did quite a number on her."
"You gave her too much, I think." Anna said.

The Somethings crystallized... and Heather was sitting there, wearing the same thing you were, scratching Summer's belly. The redhaired girl giggled, and grabbed Summer's paw, playing with squishing the pads.

"... That's really strange." Anna said.
Summer started scraping her cheek against the floor, rubbing her whiskers up against them. Her purrs grew stronger, and the manifestation Heather's hair and clothing started to melt, drooping downwards, before resolidifying.

>>23806772
"Poor girl..."

>>23806826
She's wearing her biometric scanner right?

>>23806826
"Oh dear, she's tripping out."

>>23806826
"...That's creepy."
Throw some real clothes on manifested Heather.

>>23806826
"Summer! Manifest an Anna-clone too!"

"Oh dear." You say, and grab some real clothes for the manifestation."... That's creepy." When you try to put them on her, she suddenly grabbed you into a hug.
"You've been really really nice to me." Heather said, giggling. "I just... I just want to say thank you. You're a nice person."

And then the identical copy of you kissed you on the lips, pushing her face against yours.

>>23806891
Hands up, don't move, eyes wide.

>>23806891
ok. Heather for waifu is a go.

>>23806891
Don't freak out.

>>23806891
Freeze! Don't move, maybe it will go away.

>>23806911
THIS. A MILLION TIMES, THIS.

>>23806891
Heather for waifu.

Don't struggle, let the shock of it overcome us.

>>23806891
Self-waifu is best waifu.

>>23806891
It's not gay, it's masturbation!

someone had to say it

>>23806891
Definitely too much cat-nip

Your body locks up, and you freeze, eyes wide.

"Anna! You're nice too!" The manifestation said, and Anna bolted toward the door.
The manifestation, already in Anna's form, was there first, pulling her into a hug and rubbing her cheek against hers

"And Jilly! I need to get to know you better!" The manifestation said, the legs of Anna's forms becoming a big tail to wrap around her, and the somethings came by again, the manifestation (and the table) evaporating entirely.

Summer just purred, rubbing her head against her own pillow by now, lying on her back.

>>23806963
"Uh..."

>>23806963
"...Anna, Jilly, we are never to speak of this. Especially not to Damien."

>>23806963
*giggle*
"Way too much catnip."

>>23806963
Just laugh.

>>23806963
"New rule. No overdosing on catnip."

>>23806963
"I need to forget about this. More booze, please."

>>23806963
Slur something!

>>23807029
Heather isn't THAT drunk.

>>23806963
Upend our drink

You start giggling. there wasn't much else to do, but giggle. Jilly flashed yellow, and Anna tried and failed to frown.
Summer started drooling, licking at the pillow, and then her eyes closed entirely, and the half-made manifestations vanished.
"... She fell asleep." Jilly said.

"Anna, Jilly, we are never to speak of this. Especially not to Damien."
"Agreed." Anna said, flatly.
Jilly just nodded.
"I need to forget about this. More booze, please."

And then, suddenly, you were somewhere else.

The enormous bed, covered in stuffed animals of all sorts was on one end of the room, pink wallpaper covering the walls. From the window, green light filtered through the curtains, casting everything in a ghastly green. There was a simple door out, and dressers and shelves covering everything.
On one of the walls, pinned there, was a child's scrawling of two stick figures - one with black hair, the other with yellow, holding hands.
You weren't on the station anymore.

"... The booze is still here." Anna said, standing next to a dresser, on the top of which, alcoholic concoctions sat. She held out a full glass. "Here. I'm too sober for this."

>>23807067
"As am I."

Down a few drinks for good measure.

>>23807067
Peek out of the door.
"So who's psionic bullshit caused this? I think I'm still mostly sober..."

>>23807067
"I think...I think Summer just manifested her entire room here. The one she grew up in. That or we've been teleported several lightyears, which I find less likely. Get me another drink."

>>23807067
"I don't even care anymore."
Slam back the drank

>>23807067
"This is so weird. Is this...Summer's house?"
Are Jilly and Summer here?

>>23807088
You know, if that's the case we should be worried that she could overtax herself. After all she's high as hell, she might be able to exceed the safe amount of calories used.

>>23807086
It's summers old room.

"I don't even care anymore." You say, and take a deep drink, the drink Anna had given you much stronger than the last one. "This is so weird. Is this... Summer's house?"
"I think so." Jilly said. "Where's Summer?"
Anna checked under the bed, and into the pile of stuffed animals. "Not here."

Jilly pulled open the curtain, and you gasped.

Outside, was quite obviously the surface of a small moon with an atmosphere. In the sky, almost covering all of the sky, was an enormous violet gas giant.

"... Did we just teleport?" Anna asked.

>>23807152
I shirtanly hope not.

>>23807152
Open the door and find out.

>>23807152
"Maybe the window is just a flat picture."

>>23807152
"...I hope not. I wouldn't want to try and explain this to Summer's parents."

>>23807152
"I think we did, and Summer is gone, I didn't know any of us could teleport stuff other than Sarvesh."

>>23807152
"Given that that's more of Sarvesh's thing, I'd hazard an uneducated estimation that she's manifesting all this, kind of like full-sensory VR"

>>23807178
I don't even think Sarvesh can teleport lightyears away.

>>23807152
"I really, really hope not. That would be awkward, and we'd have to take a taxi back to the Institute."

>>23807182
"Got a phone?"

>>23807152
time travel? or in her dream

Damien just time traveled so who knows ?

>>23807152
"Shit, I don't even have Einstein with me."

>>23807197
>>23807190
Actually, we can test that! Try to contact Einstein via personacom.

"Well, earlier today Damien did time travel. And then I was all of the technology in the universe at the same time. So why not teleport several dozen/hundred/thousand lightyears?

Although I suppose this means we'll need a ride back to the station."

"... I certainly hope not." You say, your tongue fuzzier than normal. "I wouldn't want to try and explain this to Summer's parents. Maybe the window is just a flat picture."

Jilly opened it, and took a deep breath. You heard honking, and looking down, you can see the rest of the city, complete with driving cars. You smell a bit of smog, and the smell of a populated city.

"Got a phone?" You ask.
"My implant isn't responding." Anna responded.

You pull up your omnitool. and get a no coverage response. Apparently you couldn't access anything.

"Thummer!" You hear a young girl yell, and pull open the door. You see a young girl, maybe nine years old, barge into the room. She walked right past all of you, and peeked under the bed. She looked like she was missing her two front teeth... and then walked *through* Jilly to look at the window, and to pull it shut again. She gave a sigh, and stomped out of the room. "Thummer!" she called again, running out of the room.

Heey. Wait a minute. Didn't Dave n' Company find a perfectly natural, crystaline quantum computer that became Amy's brain? Maybe we picked that up a few galaxies away.

>>23807243

"Maybe we're in her dream somehow?"

>>23807243
"...I think that was Winter. Anna, pour me another drink."

>>23807243
"...Sooo, we're in Summer's dream? Please, please tell me you brought ALL the alcohol and not just one or two bottles."

Alright... we're in the past then... I wonder if we can save her. Anyway follow Winter!

Stop getting drunk, this could be important.

"... I think that was Winter." You say, and upend your glass. "Anna, pour me another drink."
She pours you another drink, and the three of you step out of the room-
To find yourself back in your dorm room. Summer was still snoring, but in the other bed, a small cub was snoring, curled up.
The tiger cub was the fuzziest thing known to man, and you felt your hands drawn to pet it. It was... the one force known to humanity greater than your pout.

>>23807309
"Ohhh...my god."

>>23807309

"Ohhh... my god." You say, and reach out- inadvertently tugging the sleepy kitty into your hands with TK, and you hug it tightly, cuddling close to it. Its claws instinctively dug into your arms, and it started purring.

It yawned, tongue curling, and Summer's real body sat up.
"... My head hurts." She said, and sniffled. The kitten in your arms stretched as well.
"Oh my god that's little me! Did I make little me?" Summer asked.

>>23807376
Ignore Summer; motorboat that tummy.

>>23807376
So fluffley ....

>>23807376
"You're adorable!"
Keep hugging fliuffy.

>>23807376
If this is little you, then congratulations: You were once the cutest, fluffiest thing in the known universe.

Daww over the cub, show her to Anna.

>>23807376
Nod.

"And little Winter. And your room. You are so ADORABLE."

>>23807376
"It appears so."
>>23807387
You mean rasberry

>>23807376
"You made lots of stuff."

Hey guys, we might be able to save winter.

"You're adorable!" you say, and give the tiger kitten a rasberry. It giggled, wiggling it's paws.
"You also manifested little winter. And your room." Anna said.
"You made lots of stuff."
"How could I make my room? It's way bigger than this one." Summer said. "But you can keep little summer. I'm not controlling her, anyway."
Little summer started purring, and kneading your shoulder, mouth open a fraction and tongue lolling out.
"Can... Can I hold her?" Anna asked.

>>23807424
Oh, shit.

>>23807450
I don't want to give up the fluffy.

Re read the previous few posts. Jilly managed to interact with the window, and then Winter had to shift it back.

This is potentially huge.

>>23807450
"Okay."

Attempt to pick up the kitty and hand it to Anna, pout about losing out on the fluffy.

>>23807464

>>23807424
>>23807486
>weird time shit.

Suddenly, this quest got 10x more complicated.

>>23807486
It wasn't time travel

"Sure!" You say.

Anna held out her hands. You stare at her.
"... But.." She said. "I thought you were going to give her to me."
Her words made no sense to you, so you just pet the kitten. Give her to Anna?... The words just aren't sticking together right.
Anna pouted at you.
"Okay." You say, and hold out the kitty- or try to, because when you try, it mews quietly and digs its claws into your shirt. After extricating her claws from your clothing. Anna held the kitten close, kissing it on the forehead.

"I should give you all a copy of my baby pictures." Summer said, and stretched. "... But my head is pounding. I... don't think I want to sniff that much catnip next time."
You were starting to get dizzy- there was a peculiar feeling in the back of your head, something that made your balance shift whenever you moved.

>>23807526
Well we gotta try and see if it's possible at least.

>>23807450
"I think you were manifesting your dream or something. A young girl who I assume was Winter ran in - and went right through us as if she was incorporeal."

>>23807486
But it was a manifested window and Winter, not a real window/Winter from the past.

>>23807558
Oh man, what a weird feeling. We better drink more to make it go away.

>>23807558
"You have to be careful with catnip, strong stuff, apparently."

Scritch Summer, get more alcohol, try to talk to a machine and go on a drunken tirade about valves.

I was actually thinking more damiens time travel.

We should ask him later if he'd be willing to try.

>>23807558
"That's probably a good idea."

>>23807558
I think I'm starting to get a little bit.. What's the word. Drinked.

Give Summer a hug. The big one.

>>23807587
That's a long-ass time back, though, if the timeline adjusts itself to change things, no one except Damien would even remember that she had died in the first place.

>>23807630
And?

We could bring her forward in time and just leave something at the scene that looks like a mashed up body. Summer could even help.

"That's probably a good idea." You say. "You have to be careful with catnip. Strong stuff, apparently."
Summer nodded, and Anna made a little whimper noise as little summer started purring, laying in the crook of her neck.

"I think I'm starting to get a little bit... What's the word." You say. "Drinked."
"Drunk." Summer said. "Can I have something to drink? My mouth's all dry."

Anna was too busy giggling as little summer started to crawl into her shirt to respond.

>>23807630
Also how hard the Butterfly Effect is in, well, effect if it is at all can change everything.

"Ello Dr manus; could you find summer's coushelor an tell 'im shummer just made something larger on the inside...blame it on the catnip..."

"It's probably all dry because you spent the better part of ten minutes licking everything. Including me."
"Not my fault!" Summer said. "You all smelled like catnip. Everything did!"
"Your manifestation of me was rather flattering."
"... I never manifested you. Did I?" Summer asked.
"You did." Jilly said, while you grab some water for Summer. As for yourself... you spend some time looking at the drinks, and smell them all - then you take the two or three sweetest smelling things, and mix them up with a bit of sugar. Then you take a sip.

It's like candyland exploded into your mouth - so sweet and fruity that the taste doesn't leave your mouth for a few seconds.
"You manifested all of us in turn, it looked." Jilly said.
"No, I was just manifesting me!" summer said. "And I tried manifesting a table before that, I remember..."

>>23807809
"And then you manifested all of us, and made us kiss each other."

>>23807809
"You manifested a noodly jello table. And you definitely did make all of us then a Manifestation which changed between which one of us it was which told us how much you loved all of us."

Drunk Technopathy!

>>23807809
"Well, first you started manifesting things of the wrong material, like the table made out of hard noodles. Then you just started rolling around like the ground itself was pleasuring you. Then you started to manifest versions of everyone else in the room, only they started to melt like candle wax. Then our counterparts proceeded to attempt to make out with us while giving compliments in your voice.
Then you passed out, and I think you manifested your dreams in real time to all of us."

>>23807809
You definitely manifested us.
*shudder*

>>23807809
"You manifested me and then the fake me kissed me and it was really weird. Then you made a Nagala Anna which pounced on them."

>>23807878
>>23807879
Don't say or do these.

>>23807809
You kissed me.. With me.

It was very unusual.

At least I know I'm a good kisser!

>>23807809
"You were going crazy with your manifestations. I guess the catnip made you forget most of it though."

"You manifested me, and then the fake me kissed me and it was really weird." You say, starting to babble, your cheeks warming up. "Then you made a Nagala Anna, which pounced on them."

Summer blinked.
"Oh."
You nod.
"Can you make me one of those?" She asked, looking to the drinks. You mix together a few things randomly, as Anna was too busy tickling little summer's belly, making her giggle.

"Hey, I got an idea." Anna suddenly said, her cheeks red. "It is... The best idea."
She closed her eyes for a long time. "I can go show off the new clothes I got on Heaven's Jewel!"

>>23807991
"That is the best idea!

Summer, I'm not sure about you drinking this, I'm not sure how alcohol interacts with Tigers."

>>23807991
"Yes! Please do."

>>23807991
Are you su- YES!

Yes, let's do that. We should all go to your room, so you can get changed there.

I shall bring some of my clothes too, so I can show off while you're changing, and vice versa.

>>23807991
"That is the best idea."
She can't keep hold of the tiger while she's changing. The fluffy will be ours again!

>>23807991
"Have another drink and go for it girl!"

>>23807991
Is it OK for tigers to have alcohol? Oh well, I'm sure it'll be fine!

>>23807991
"Oh my. Go grab them, then. Start with the bikini."

>>23808010
This. Alchohol is poisonous to house cats at least.

"That is the best idea." You say. "Go grab them, then. Start with the bikini."
"Okay!" She said. "I also need to take a knife to my socks." She said, and ran out.

"Is it okay for tigers to have alcohol?"
"Yeah!" She said. "I have a bunch of paperwork about what I should be able to have, now that I've been transgened. Alcohol was on the list."
She pulled open a drawer with a claw, and pulled out a bowl for her to drink from.

>>23808069

And let Jilly have mini-Summer, she deserves to feel some of the cuddly.

Could we use telepathy to force our drunkenness on other people?

"Very well!" You say, and pour something you'd mixed at random into her bowl. you weren't even discerning between if reagent A or reagent B was alcoholic or not, by now.
You drink some of what you mixed, and with a 'blech', you drink some more. Jilly grabs bottle, and curls up on your bed, tearing off the cap with one of her teeth, and pouring a bit into her mouth, now and then.
"I've never mixed drinks, or even drunk before." You say, and pour some of your concoction into the bowl for Summer.


"Open." You tell the door.
"As ye wish, wench." The door responded, and hissed open.

"Did the door just talk?" Anna asked, her arms full of clothing, a small tiger cub sitting on top of the pile.
