Incoherent Frustration? Question Mark?!

[inadvertentdadfigure]

Okay Ducks.

Something just fucked the hell up for me.

Something, I don't know what, but maybe my world just got reset or something but it's 2012 again, and I'm really not in the mood for this. It's just ME. And I don't know what's going on, but it's just a week after the Battle of New York, my house is toast, and I'm REALLY NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THIS.

... my stuff is here when I walk into my lab but when I walk OUT it's 2012.

Is anyone experiencing this?

God? God I know you're listening, is this a glitch? This is punishment for bringing Pepper strawberries last night isn't it!

Perhaps you have a chance to change something that happened in that Battle.

[inadvertentdadfigure]

Change what? The PTSD? I barely handled that. Poorly.

... but you're onto something. Think of all the things I could change if I knew future events... I could avoid Ultron...

[outofthemanor]

There could be an incident of the Battle - however small - you regret.

[inadvertentdadfigure]

... well...

I could make it easier for the kid.

I'll have to make some phone calls. Make sure that Toombs gets a fair shake.

[outofthemanor]

Of course, any action you may take could result in your entire time being changed beyond recognition. Not necessarily for the better.

[inadvertentdadfigure]

Are you really basing the concept of time travel on Back to the Future though? How do you know that time travel works like that?

[outofthemanor]

Cause and effect, actually. It stands to reason that changing the outcome of one thing could have an overall effect.

[twotailedgenius]

So what you're saying is somehow your lab has become trapped in some weird temporal vortex... that or everything else has.

[inadvertentdadfigure]

My lab, and maybe my bedroom? I can't tell.

Pepper doesn't realize what happened, so it might be a complete rewrite of memories, but the time out there is definitely NOT 2018.

[Amelia is just staring at Tony with a look of complete and utter confusion on her face. You'll have to forgive her, this kind of stuff doesn't really exist where she's from.]

[inadvertentdadfigure]

Timeloops. You know.

Loops in time. Different points in time.

[conjurerofuldah]

I...don't get it. They don't....really exist where I'm from, soooo....

[ She just shrugs, taking out her wand and fidgeting with it a bit. ]

Sorry.

[inadvertentdadfigure]

Your world has an eldritch god named Omega, I'm kind of side-eyeing that fact.

[conjurerofuldah]

[ Well she hasn't gotten to that point yet, she literally just finished the Spirithold quest yesterday. She'll take your word for it though. ]

Ooooookay.

[inadvertentdadfigure]

I'm just all kind of stressed out, don't let it bother you kid.

For the most part, let's just say I'm reliving my own timeline.

[conjurerofuldah]

You'd think I'd be used to people being stressed out because of everything that's gone on back home...

[ Tucking her wand away, she rests her chin in her hand. She's probably a little more anxious than usual because of ending up where she is. ]

Ah well. Do you think there's any way to fix it and get you back to where you're supposed to be?

[ There's probably no way she could help but if he needs someone to talk to, she's at least good for that much. ]

Warping myself through time is one thing. Pushing time through myself instead of around me could end up de-aging me, or worse, turn me into a baby which is worse because it would just wind up with a dumb reaction to everything.

Moving an entire chunk of dislocated time is another. To do that would require moving an entire chunk of reality from one point to another, a piece of code I don't have right now.

[conjurerofuldah]

[ Twelve above she was going to have a migraine by the time this conversation was done. Although she did giggle a bit imagining him as a baby. ]

I bet you'd be a cute baby at least.

[ Amelia no. ]
