Hello, intrepid Interns. This is just a friendly reminder that your debate on the ethics and dilemmas of time travel is this Wednesday, so you'll want to pay extra attention to your classes on maintaining the timeline, temporal law, and paradox risks in the coming days.

Before I came to work with TEA, I spent over a decade as a Time Bandit, which gives me a unique perspective on these topics. Feel free to ask me anything on this post in the name of research and I'll do my best to answer honestly.

Do you want to play Devil's Advocate or should I? I'm happy to do it but it does feel a little on the nose.

Do either of you know why Teddy doesn't like Gus?

over a decade? and how long have you been here now?

[boucle]

I joined last summer and just finished my intern program.

[timedout]

interesting. and what would you say the biggest differences are from that line of work and this?

[boucle]

A shared mission.

[timedout]

on which end?

[boucle]

This one. Bandits usually pursue their own interests in my experience, although I have worked with others in the past.

[timedout]

interesting. so what sort of things were you doing when you were with the bandits?

[boucle]

A lot of partying, mostly, but we also did some theft.

[timedout]

i guess that would be different than here. though you've gotta admit the fondue was banging.

You don't [...] have to tell her things just because she's sharing.

Rowans.

[timedout]

she said we could ask questions. i'm asking questions.

Rowans.

[thisismytime]

Did you see me say don't ask questions?

Rowans.

[timedout]

sorry, am i not being scolded? it felt like i was being scolded.

Rowans.

[thisismytime]

I'm giving loving, sisterly advice. I'm not always just a scold.

Rowans.

[timedout]

i wasn't planning on telling her anything. unless...

Rowans.

[thisismytime]

Do what you want to do. Just remember it'll affect Marisol and m too. [...] I never reported anything, you know. Or you probably don't know. But I didn't.

Rowans.

[timedout]

nah, marisol didn't know anything about my crimes and then when she found out she left. there's no reason for them to suspect you knew. everyone knows how by the book you are.

hey.

[timedout]

hey.

[marisoling]

is it weird as fuck to read about constance's time bandit shit for you? because it is for me.

solo.

[timedout]

it's not normal to be so upfront about it, right?

solo.

[marisoling]

i don't know if there's enough of us here to have a normal, but [...] it's not my normal.

solo.

[timedout]

because you're ashamed of it?

solo.

[marisoling]

it just seemed easier if people didn't know when i first showed up. and yeah, there's some shame involved. [...] i've thought about telling people before, but then i remember that would involve telling laurie and any thought i had about telling anyone disappears.

solo.

[timedout]

yeah... that guy is... something else. he thought i was going to shove my hand into the fondue.
