[Well, it seems the Iron Bull has figured out how to use the camera function a lot better. Not only is this one facing the right way, it also displays his whole face. Minus the horns, because well. Only a wide angle lens could handle those.]

[He's at some burger joint, sitting with a monstrosity a lot like this. One fist propped up on his leg.]

So... question time. Some shit came up, and what good is an instant talking system if you don't use it, eh?

Anyone here ever run into any sort of... [He waggles the stump fingers of his other hand.] ... problems...? With things back home matching up what you remember? Like, say, you remember this busty tavern girl fawning over your lieutenant. But when you ask your pal about it, he says she was all over the little archer elf with the thing for bees.

Something like that. Anyone?

[Pause. While he shoves part of that burger in his mouth.]

Oh yeah, boss. If you're around, we should talk.

Maryden wasn't interested in Sera. She was just interesting to sing about.

[rideme]

Kid...

[FACE IN HANDS.]

That was just an example. Like a "what if" thing. Get it?

[orangehoodie]

Everything matches up for the most part, for us, except we're all from different points in time.

video;

[rideme]

How's that work?

[ video ]

[animated]

[ he is gonna have a heart attack just looking at that burger, Bull ]

Having continuity problems?

[ video ]

[rideme]

[Oh come on Charlie he can take it.]

Something like that.

Couple guys here don't remember the boss like I do.

video;

[parallels]

Not personally, no. Continuity has always been right on for me.

Though when I first arrived, my friend and I were from different points in time.

video;

[rideme]

Yeah? How's that go?

video

[resipiscent]

I've never heard of that. But to be fair, I haven't really... consulted with anyone from home on the subject.

[Because the only person from home he knows is really skittish around him and he's starting to think they're never going to be any closer than 'If you come within ten feet of me I'm probably going to leave'.]

video

[rideme]

No?

Not curious about what's going on?

video;

[sidecars]

Wait, how busty was she?

[ Bucky Barnes, asking the important questions. ]

But what you're describin', yeah, that's the story of my life here, pal.

video;

[rideme]

More than me! [He laughs, and then makes a sort of... "curvy boobs" gesture.] Kind of like that.

You too, huh?

voice

[wonk]

Oh yeah alternate timelines. That kinda thing happens all the time. You're probs from a different version of your home than your buddy.

voice

[rideme]

How does that even work?

[permavoice]

[heartstings]

Funny thing about the 'porter, it likes to take people from different periods of time in their timeline or just completely different universes where the same people exist but something is different.

[rideme]

How's that even possible? Some kind of magic bullshit?

video

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Maybe it was the porter-thingy! Maybe it scrambled your memories when it brought you here! Or it could have mixed up your memories with someone else's! Maybe the tavern lady and the lieutenant and the bee elf never even existed!

[...just... wild guesses because really she has no real good answer, but she wants to be helpful!!]

video

[rideme]

... Yeah, kid, I'm pretty sure it wasn't like that. They remember Krem easy enough.

And the boss remembers shit just like I do.

Video

[kanadian]

[ There's a snort. ]

Some people told me that where they came from, I was dead.

Video

[rideme]

Well, shit. That sucks.

[allucinator]

We had to square our shit out, but it weren't that outta it. How bad is it for you, sides mixed up romances?

[rideme]

Everyone seems to think the boss was a woman. Not that there's anything wrong with that --

Except they won't tell me if she was hot.

( video )

[chancetoatone]

[Thane blinks slightly in confusion.]

No, but I haven't checked many facts with my crewmates.

( video )

[rideme]

You might want to. Shit just keeps getting weirder.

[selfpraise]

[It starts off as a close up of his eye before the rest of his face comes into view.]

What are you prattling on about? And don't talk with your mouth full.

[Cole's given him the heads up so he's not surprised, but he hadn't known the Inquisitor was around as well.]

video;

[rideme]

... Hah!

Hah-hah! Shit! Look who they dragged in. Damn, though... If they were looking for Vints to port in, should've picked Krem.

[But wow he still sounds happy to see you, Dorian.]

voice;

[whathawksdo]

[ Even without the horns on full display, she's pretty sure that's a...

Qunari here? Really? Great. Just great. ]

Not quite like that, precisely, but I have met someone from my future. I think that counts as quite a lot of things back home not matching up.

voice;

[rideme]

Your future, huh? Hope they had good news.

video

[justimom]

I have heard of situations like that from individuals from my own crew. Apparently several were from a world where they knew our Commander as a woman.

video

[rideme]

Oh. Huh.


...






She hot?

[IRON BULL NO.]

[daintylegs]

Sounds really daunting actually.

[He doesn't really know who you are, good sir, but he does like your face. It's an interesting face.]

For me, the problem seemed to be that everyone was further up my timeline than me.

Alternate timelines sound like a big headache.

[rideme]

Yeah. Something like that.

... Further up? Like how?

[selfimage]

Ah—yes. That kind of situation. One in a million, really. A little bit of sprinkled confusion here and there.

[ he raises his hand and wiggles his fingers. magic hands! ]

Welcome to the multiverse!

[rideme]

More than just a little bit. More like a whole hell of a lot.

I'd say "thanks" except I'm not really thankful.

[shuckit]

[ dude, either your face is huge or someone needs to teach you about zoom and why you don't touch it while facetiming. anyway, thomas isn't going to be that person, just answers the question. ]

Just timeline issues. I'm a couple months past when one of my friends is from. Another is a few days ahead of me.

[rideme]

[... both. It's probably both.]

Past a couple months. Hnn. Seems like timeline problems are the big one around here.
