[ ...She feels bad just leaving it at that, so she goes on to what has been taking up most of her free time, especially with the continued departures. ]

also the museum is open once again if anyone wanted to go see it :o
i mean i dont know if anyone was planning to do so but i personally kind of was
and have been to see it in fact
despite the fact it got robbed i think its rather in good condition and its pretty much everything i wanted
i wonder if theyre hiring
waitressing isnt bad but working at a museum would be the best thing ever probably
and you never know unless you ask right?

Hey, I'd take working at a museum over a restaurant gig any day. Glad to hear it's still in good shape, too. I only took a brief look the last time I was in town, but I liked what I saw. Especially the rocket.

Sorry to hear about your friend, though. He seemed like a pretty cool guy.

[timelymaid]

i dont mind being a waitress really
you get to talk to lots of people!

which friend are you referring to
did you know sollux or equius

[islandshore]

True, but don't you have to run back and forth a lot? Seems like a pretty demanding job, even if you do get a lot of social contact.

And I'm talking about Sollux. Didn't get to know him that well, but we talked a couple of times.

[timelymaid]

yes but i dont mind running around
it actually takes less effort than maintaining a timeline tbh

yeah
he will eventually be happy at home though

[islandshore]

Wait, back up for a second. What do you mean by maintaining a timeline?

[timelymaid]

that is what i normally did
i was (and am i suppose) the maid of time

[islandshore]

So how the heck do you maintain a timeline? Isn't it... I don't know, complicated?

[timelymaid]

it can be but you get used to it
and also a lot of it is done on instinct
and you know it has always happened and always will have happened
things like that

[islandshore]

So wait. You know everything, past, present, and future?

But how do you keep track of it all?

[timelymaid]

oh im not a time player here
i have no idea how this timeline plays out
and thats not really how it works
as such
i have sources that people dont have
and know how things tend to go and end and how they ought to be going and ending
but i would never claim to know everything

and its a time player thing
you just kinda get a feel for it as you go

[islandshore]

Okay, I think I get where you're coming from.

So, it's more that you've got ideas of what's going to happen? Like predication, but nothing concrete. Unless the future's set in stone, anyway.

Then again, everything I've heard about that game's kind of confusing. You get extra points for being more straightforward than John, though. That stuff he said about... ectobiology, I think? Whatever that was, I'd say it's on the top of the weirdness scale.

[timelymaid]

yes!
also sometimes we do get concrete stuff
if a future us comes back and informs us
and sometimes we have to change it
but
we always already were fated to do so :o

oh really?
i think john is very straightforward!
i wasnt in charge of our sessions ectobiology anyway
youd want karkat for that
