[Shortly after arriving, Pilouette had learned that when, or rather if, she returned home she would go back to the very moment she left. But as of late, something has been bothering her. While what little knowledge of time travel and the like she possesses comes from films and most likely has very little basis in actual science, she can't stop thinking about it. So, flopping down on her bed, she decides to take to the journals.]

Umm, hey. Like, I have a question.

When you come here, time like, freezes back home right? I don't know a lot about timescience or whatever, but I was wondering...When you leave here, if you go back to the moment you left does that mean that one second into the future at home I'm already back sleeping on the couch? But would that mean I'm here and there at the same time? Or does that not work since that's in the future?

Like I said I'm not like...a "time scientist" or anything, so I've really got like, no idea. So...does anyone know?

[She's so proud of herself for understanding all this, you have no idea.]

So even if I go home and become the future me, if I come back I might become the me I am now again?

Whoa... That's so weird!

[godbent]

Yes. Though, maybe a slightly different version--

You at Home (1): Your Memories until Date of Leaving
You in Luceti (1): Your Memories until Date of Leaving + any memories here
You at Home (2): Your Memories until Date of Leaving + memories gained after going back - any memories of Luceti
You in Luceti (2): Your Memories until Date of Leaving (1) + memories gained after going back until Date of Leaving (2) [+any memories of You in Luceti (1) if you're lucky]

So, have you ever gone back home? You seem to really have a handle on this stuff.

[written]

[godbent]

I have, yeah

[written]

[ribbonbon]

Was it weird to deal with when you got back here?

[written]

[godbent]

[...It was the least of her worries but]

Yes

[written]

[ribbonbon]

I see.

[The thought of going home, then being dragged back to Luceti brings about feelings of concern. What if something big happened? The idea of being brought back with no time to deal with it is an unsettling one.]

Well, thanks for explaining all this time stuff. It all sounds really complicated, but I think understand.

[godbent]

It's no problem. It's not as complex as you'd think.
