(OOC: Due to the fact that JD's mun Rizzy has not seen BTTF in years and thus wasn't sure how to handle threading, we're handwaving. Pretend this happened a few days ago)

Well. I just saw the Back To The Future trilogy. Yes, trilogy. There are three movies. JD was nice enough to sneak me into his room and order them up so we could watch them. Thank you, JD.

I -- The movies are obviously a different universe from where I came from. The version of Dr. Emmett Brown contained therein never had any run-ins with Faeries. The movies were an exploration of his first time travel experiments with Marty. Well, more accurately, first time travel disasters. In the first movie, Marty accidentally broke up his parents, and his mother developed a crush on him, so he was slowly erasing from existence. In the second, Biff Tannen (a jackass and bully I knew back in Hill Valley) stole the time machine and a future sports almanac from 2015 and created an alternate reality in which he murdered Marty's father, married Marty's mother, and basically completely destroyed our hometown. The third saw my other self get trapped in 1885, with Marty having to go rescue him. It all ended happily, of course, but

I can't say I regret seeing the movies, I was able to actually glean a lot of information for my own flux capacitor. (Apparently I'm supposed to be using a car called a DeLorean for this. I prefer the Skid myself.) And it was good to see Marty again. I'm sure you're all sick of me saying this, but I do miss him. It was just so -- strange, seeing this other me, untouched by monsters, Fae, having adventures, inventing things

HE'S MARRIED.

My other self, at the end of the trilogy, has a wife and two children. It would be stupid of me to say I'm not jealous. Great Scott. . . .

I'm fine, really, just -- confused. How is everyone? Revan, I still want to talk to you if you get a moment.

Oh, it was interesting all right. Along with many other adjectives.

I think so, yes. I can't be totally objective due to my unique status regarding said movie, but they were good films. Very well plotted. And it was nice to see Marty and I would have become friends under normal circumstances too. Plus I was able to get a little more information for my own time machine efforts, as I said. Not a lot, but every little bit helps.

Just a wife and kids

I can imagine.

Well, at least you (or an alternate version of you) aren't in a film that is recognized among those who know it as being in a bad film. That makes things quite a bit easier.

I suppose. Unless, god forbid, someone mistakes me for the actor. (Man by the name of Christopher Lloyd. The resemblance is -- quite uncanny. Though I'd probably think differently if I saw him out of makeup.)

That would get rather confusing, wouldn't it? Although yes, blaming it on make-up would be a rather excellent idea. ^_^
