Hey! This is Max, though probably most of you don't know me. I've been kind of a lurker on here for the most part. But I wanted to ask a question of my own, if everyone's cool with that.

So here goes, I guess:

I know some of us seem to have some powers during our particular moon phase, but I wanted to talk about possible powers you guys might have had before coming here? Back in your own world.

Specifically though, I'm interested in knowing if anyone has any experience with manipulating time, and any possible consequences you know of that came with using that power. First-hand experience or otherwise, either would be useful.

Thanks!

Okay. That's... a lot to take in, so gimme a moment.

The first thing you're talking about, I don't think I've ever heard of anything like it. Neither the time stop spell I mentioned nor the version of time travel I'm familiar with look anything like it. So there's nothing I can tell you that would be very helpful aside from obvious stuff like "be careful how you use it".

As for the other one... it sounds a lot like the time travel I know, except that from what I understand the version I know of lets you stay as long as you want, as long as you still had been there in the past.

I guess it makes sense that things would be really different. What surprises me is that you can do this at all.

sorry about that. it's just the first chance I've gotten to talk about my powers with someone I feel like I can trust who also has at least second-hand experience with this sort of thing already.

and don't worry about me using them recklessly or anything, because I don't use them anymore. period.

maybe it really did have to do with the photos then. I know that there was a limited area in which I could move around too while I was in the past.

and it's super weird, I know. I only discovered I had these powers recently, before I got here. it happened really suddenly.

I'm guessing the recent discovery of these powers didn't exactly go well for you.

I don't know much about your situation, and I can't really tell you much about using powers like that, or not using them. But I can't imagine you got those powers for no reason.

I can't say it went smoothly... but I'm glad I did discover them, even if I'm not using them anymore.

The situation is totally confusing and kind of fucked up. It all started when I saw a girl get shot and killed in the school bathroom. Then suddenly I was back in class five minutes earlier, and when I got to the bathroom again, I was able to rewind time and save the girl... Who, as it turned out, happened to my best friend I hadn't seen in five years.

Okay, wow. I was not expecting that.

Well, I'd have done the same thing in your case... best friend or not, if I saw someone get killed right in front of me and I could do anything about it, I wouldn't even think about it.

Pretty intense, I know. My whole life got pretty intense after that.

There was a storm, just before I ended up here. And I kept having these really vivid visions of it coming, days before it happened, like maybe I was connected to it somehow. Anyway, that's where all the questions are coming from.

A storm? I don't know how time powers could have anything to do with that, but then again, there is the butterfly effect.

And I guess what you did would have ended up being a bunch of those piled on top of each other.
