[Keeping this audio for now- he's not the previous iteration of him who was here before, he's the older and improved version.

Thank Aurora for that.

But he's going to play it carefully for now, not tip his hand just yet to see what he can find out about whatever trouble his past self was getting into.]

It's a pleasure to be here again- I've been told it's been a few weeks but apparently, time doesn't work the same way. If my math is correct, what has been weeks here has been years for me.

[And there is the whole different timelines/worlds thing but the one reassuring thing is that his alternate self is out there somewhere also making stupid reckless life choices.]

But I'm curious if anyone has experienced anything related to alternate timelines and parallel worlds- bonus points if you've met an alternate version of yourself either from another world or time.

Well, I can't say that I have any experience with alternate timelines or anything but...

[ She imagines it's possible, honestly, just from what she's learned here. Their world is only one of many of others similar but not the same, a 'multiverse.' Still, it's strange to consider another 'her' out there somewhere. ]

So, you were home for years? Dang, that's gotta' be a weird adjustment to make after coming back.

[ambitiousblond]

It's been an experience, that's for certain but as far as kidnappings go, it's not the worst.

[This isn't the first time and given his record, probably won't be the last when he returns to his world.]

If we knew each other before forgive me but your name escapes me. A lot has happened in those years, unfortunately.

[He knows it's a matter of time before someone realizes he's not the previous version of himself but he's curious.]

[hasitsthorns]

Is kidnapping something that happens to you often?

[ She's just curious, what with it phrased like that. Granted, she isn't one to talk. If she had a nickel for every time she'd been 'kidnapped,' she'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but weird that it's happened twice! ]

I don't think we did, so you're in the clear! My name's Rosie. I'd get it even if we did though, y'know? Must be hard having home memories and here memories.

[ambitiousblond]

Surprisingly often, with varying degrees of awkwardness and boredom.

[Being the heir to the most powerful person the planet with seemingly infinite wealth came with a few downsides including having to deal with annoying kidnappers who often weren't that creative to begin with, if they even succeeded to that point.]

It's a pleasure then, Rosie. I've been trying to put together what I don't remember from my time here but it feels disjointed so far.

[hasitsthorns]

[ Rosie was definitely someone important enough to kidnap, for a time, but thankfully her 'keeper' was frightening enough most people didn't bother to even entertain the idea. The ones that did, well- They learned very quickly why others didn't. ]

Huh. I guess if it happened enough, it would get kind of old.

And a pleasure to meet you too! I'm sure it'll make more sense eventually, but hopefully people here can help too.
