rev-chronological-core

Years ago friends and I made a channel in our shared discord server that was meant to be an interesting and potentially amusing exercise. Every message you send should look like it would warrant the messages that came before it in response -- like travelling backwards through time.

To demonstrate, Dariaaaa here might opt to end a conversation like this, which opens the door for hijinks:

Dariaaaa (5:20pm): How could you say that??!

...and if they're aware that xX_edg3lorD_Xx here is a frequent and active chat participant, they might have been banking on, or even baiting them to respond next. maybe something like:

xX_edg3lorD_Xx (7:42pm): nothing...they say nothing, because they are dead
xX_edg3lorD_Xx (7:42pm): ...
xX_edg3lorD_Xx (7:43pm): you know what they say:

So really yes, it's a creativity exercise, and the possibilities are endless and unpredictable.

We opted not to explain how it worked to everyone and see who caught on, but in the end I think the people who didn't 'get it' made it more challenging and fun, by intentionally recontextualizing whatever they decided to write to suit reverse-chronology.

anyway i just think it's a neat idea and i'm inclined to share it =w =

octopath 2, electric boogaloo 2: just shut up Throné

I did the crossed paths events with both Temenos + Throné in Flamechurch, and Agnea + Hikari in Ryu

genuinely assumed Throné's character could understand the concept of perceiving a treasure as something beyond materialistic goods. i was wrong. a person doesn't count as a treasure apparently. a person whose story is extremely mysterious and has even gifted our party a mysterious (albeit dusty) object, to boot

Temenos sees the value of course. he's fucking Temenos.
