==> QW: Explore
LAND OF BOTANY AND TEETH
You've spent a lot of time in your treehouse by now, it's definitely time you get exploring this area. As far as you can tell there's an entire forest around you, full of hulks and what look like Bellsprouts from Pokemon. And giant venus fly traps and other such plants trying to eat everything that comes near them!
But you've already taught the ones around your treehouse a lesson with a good scolding. Plants listen like that. The hulks are thinning out, so you collect your vines which all coil up perfectly to wear over your shoulder like a rope. And with them comes gratuitous amounts of experience and grist! You're glad you don't actually have to fight those hulks!
Now it's time to leave, so you gather your things and leave the treehouse to see what this land has to offer! You'd normally run through the trees, but if another of those visions suddenly hits you it might cause you to falter, so you decide to hoof it instead until you can get a grip on whatever your powers are. Your mad parkour skills will have to wait! [/center] |

==> CALISPRITE: Do sprite thingsFirst of all, you're not Calisprite, thank you very much! Your name is CALI CONNER, though as you emerge from the blossoming flower in front of the -- your? -- treehouse, it occurs to you that maybe you should go by some other name. ==> Introduce yourself.Your name is DOOMED FUTURE CALI, and you've finally figured out how to make things right. First off, you have to find your Alpha Timeline self. This is going to get really confusing, really fast. ==> DFC: Fix everything.You go down the way you remember taking, and tap AlphaCali on the shoulder. She's real. She's a real, actual person. Chills run up your spine. CALI: Hi, Cali. 
CALI: Oh, I guess you haven't had the vision yet?
CALI: I'll just wait, then.
CALI: It's probably coming soon! [/center] |

==> QW: Be Alpha Cali
That's easy enough, you are Alpha Cali. Or, rather, you are simple CALI CONNER. And you were so fixated on your GoggleChums that you didn't even notice the other CALI CONNER tap you at first. You were too busy figuring out what your class in this game is.
Of course when you do realize there's another you it's a little unnerving. Just a little. [/center] CALI: I.
CALI: You.
CALI: Okay.
CALI: I'll wait.
==> QW: Have visions
You do. Not that you have and choice whether or not to have them, but they happen and you have a sudden vision. This time you're prepared as you know what they are, but it's still a little disconcerting.
Also when you're done you're still staring at yourself. [/center] CALI: Okay.
CALI: What should I freak out at first?
CALI: You or what I just saw?
CALI: Because I'm having trouble making up my mind.

==> DFC: Be sympathetic.You pat your Alpha self on the shoulder. You know it must be hard, meeting yourself, but it's really super important that you explain things properly. The timeline depends on it! CALI: You can freak out at both if you want.
CALI: I mean, it's all related anyway.
CALI: But please don't do anything rash!
CALI: You're the Seer of Time, right.
CALI: So you see things that are going to happen.
CALI: And if you mess with things that you see happening, well.
CALI: Bad things happen, Cali.
CALI: I learned that the hard way. [/center] |

==> QW: Freak out at both.
Well you would if you felt like freaking out. Maybe you are overloading, because freaking out isn't even the closest thing to your mind. You're certainly not sure how to act, of course, but freaking out is definitely the wrong course of action! You are the Seer of Time, after all, maybe there's more to these time shenanigans than just seeing the future. [/center] CALI: Uh.
CALI: Okay.
CALI: Oddly I don't feel like freaking out.
CALI: Is that how you'd react?
CALI: I mean how I'd . . .
CALI: Stopping there before it gets crazy.
CALI: Okay.
CALI: So.
CALI: How is this related to Finn killing Alex and how exactly can I stop it from happening?

==> DFC: Remember.It was months ago that you had the vision, but you remember it like it was yesterday. It sucked. CALI: Well, that's good.
CALI: You're doing better than me already!
CALI: I did freak out, yeah. I freaked out and I stopped it.
CALI: But that's what I'm trying to say.
CALI: You can't stop it. It has to happen!
CALI: I saved Alex.
CALI: But then everyone else died. [/center] |

==> QW: Be confused
There are many things to be confused about at this point. The vision of Finn killing Alex, the other version of you currently explaining things to you, and her explanation itself. That's a lot to take in. But you're oddly handling it like a champ.
That or you're just in shock yeah probably shock. [/center] CALI: I think.
CALI: Because you're here
CALI: It's balancing in some sort of bizarre, messed of scale.
CALI: That's just speculation.
CALI: So.
CALI: Uh.
CALI: Wait everyone died?
CALI: That's horrible! D:
CALI: Can't you just tell me how they die and I can stop that too?
CALI: Oh wait.
CALI: This is like those offshoot things that PP was describing, isn't it?

==> DFC: Solve confusion.There's no confusion to solve! AlphaCali is taking everything really well. You always were good at figuring out time shenanigans. That, or she's in shock. You'd like to think that she's just really good at this stuff. CALI: Exactly!
CALI: I messed up, so I came back to fix it.
CALI: Yeah, it was really bad.
CALI: I was on my own for a long time before I figured out how to come back.
CALI: I can teach you, though.
CALI: Yep, that's right.
CALI: The only thing to do is let Finn kill Alex.
CALI: Which sounds really bad, I know.
CALI: But I think we can bring him back! [/center] |

==> QW: Listen intently.
You have no idea how to act in this situation. You're just doing your best to be a decent representative of the past. So you'd best listen to what your doomed future self has to say before that whole doomed thing catches up on her. Which will be terrible. And makes you a little sad. [/center] CALI: Oh good!
CALI: There's a way to save him!
CALI: So the timeline can be kept stable and everyone makes it out alive?
CALI: Share your wisdom with me future . . . me! 
CALI: I feel like there's a reference I should be making.
CALI: But no movies are coming to mind.
CALI: Do you have any, me?

==> DFC: Explain everything.There's a lot to explain! You think you'll start with how Alex can die but then not be dead. This is gonna be awkward. CALI: Oh.
CALI: Hm.
CALI: I think there is a reference in there somewhere.
CALI: I just have no idea what it is!
CALI: Right, Alex.
CALI: After he dies, you have three options.
CALI: You let him stay dead, which isn't even really an option.
CALI: You kiss him, and do the time shenanigans with your lips.
CALI: Or you bring him to his Quest Bed, and he ascends to God Tier. [/center] |

==> QW: Blush profusely.
You're in shock, things aren't working entirely right so your blush isn't that profuse, but it certainly is fierce and makes your cheeks burn. Kiss? Did you she just say kiss? That's a bit extreme! You've never kissed anyone before! And you're telling yourself to kiss a dead person?
Yeah, that's got you freaking out but talking to your doomed future self about how Alex has to die by your brother's hands doesn't. [/center] CALI: Kiss?
CALI: Like lip on lip kiss?
CALI: Like the kind of kiss we've
CALI: I mean me, I can't vouch for you
CALI: The kind I've never had before
CALI: So
CALI: First one
CALI: Dead Alex
CALI: What is this God Tier thing?

==> DFC: Calm her downYou would calm her down but you really can't because you're starting to get a little upset because no, you never kissed anyone because everyone just up and died and you never even got to tell Venn that you didn't just like him you like liked him and oh Someone's trolling you. Someone's trolling you. You haven't been trolled in months. You haven't been pestered in months either, but you kept your goggles all the same, and now PP is trolling you. Not you, though -- you realize that after reading the message. PP's talking to Alpha Cali, not Doomed Future Cali. You're starting to get upset again. CALI: He's right it's much better to just let him ascend to God Tier I mean we'll -- you'll -- all be better off that way anyway and besides then the rest of us -- you -- can ascend and then there won't be any problems at all and no one will have to die
CALI: *breathes*
CALI: Sorry about that.
CALI: Oh, right.
CALI: God Tier basically just means that you become the fully realized Hero of your Aspect.
CALI: So if you reached God Tier, you'd be a really powerful Seer of Time.
CALI: It's a ranking above even the echeladder.
CALI: Well, I guess my job's done.
CALI: Here, take my stuff! You take another deep breath and eject everything from your sylladex, then look around. You find Cali's sprite, smile at Cali -- weakly, but it's a smile all the same -- and you just kind of walk over and step into the sprite. ==> DFC: Be Calisprite.You are now Calisprite. [/center] |

==> QW: Be trolled.
You are being trolled. At a somewhat inconvenient time, but you're not the type to keep someone waiting. Especially since you're Goggleputer makes that much easier to do! [/center] QW: I am not flush for him!
QW: I mean.
QW: Wait, are you like Ceagar?
QW: Can you see these things too?
QW: Well no, obviously not, because I am definitely not flush for Alex.
QW: Stop spying on me!
QW: Okay, hang on. I'm talking to me.
QW: I'll get back to you.
==> QW: Do two things at once.
That's what you can't do, which is why you're putting PP on hold while you watch yourself eject everything and walk into the sprite. [/center] CALI: Wait!
CALI: What did you just do?
CALI: Does that mean the hulks will now be like me?
CALI: Also what is this stuff?
CALI: And how does one reach God Tier exactly?
CALI: I'm suddenly getting information from two different sources!
