[Sherry's been looking at this comm unit for days trying to figure out how to ask this, today she just decides to bite the bullet.]

I guess there's no way to ask this without sounding insane but, has anyone else here met people from their world but different times?

[vanum]

yup and there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to it

two people i know here and one is from the same time as me but the kid is from a few years earlier

you're not nuts if that helps? this place is

text;

[g_jr]

Yeah, and the more I see the nutter this place seems to get. And now there's a kid here too? Are they okay?

text;

[vanum]

[Whoops. Here he is giving people the wrong impression. Nero's only a kid to Dante. Then again, he'd probably call Sherry a kid, too.]

isn't that the way it usually goes?

little on the fussy side but he'll be alright

just kind of weird to get shuffled off to this weird place and meet someone who was definitely older the last time you saw them, you know?

text;

[g_jr]

Yeah, it's definitely weird.

Now imagine meeting a little girl at 12 and then suddenly she's 26 and you'll know what my friend is going through.

[vanum]

that's quite the time jump there

kinda seems like a shame to miss out on over half your life like that

[ The message strikes a nerve and Sherry takes a moment to reply. ]

You're right, but on the other hand, there were circumstances at home that aren't here so we can make a fresh start.

[Or so she hopes, there's got to be a silver lining in this mess somewhere right?]

[vanum]

[Oh, right. That would probably be uncomfortable to have pointed out. Not like she doesn't already know, right? He tries a little harder this time, but not enough to delay the text.]

kinda had a similar situation happen to me
not a time difference thing but more of a time apart thing
anyway it's not the easiest thing to deal with but any good friend is gonna find a way to reconnect
might even be closer for it in the end

[g_jr]

Hopefully.

What's your name? I'm Sherry.

[g_jr]

Nice to meet you too, Dante. And thanks, I'm sure it will.

((OOC: Want to end the thread here?))

[vanum]

[OOC: Sure! He'll probably check up on her in a few days? I can toss a thread at her inbox a little later or we can just handwave it? I don't want to overwhelm.]

[g_jr]

((OOC: Go for it! We could set it up for after the meet up Claire is planning in her thread.))
