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?

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.

solo.

[marisoling]

he's a stickler for the rules with very little faith that anybody's gonna follow the rules.

solo.

[timedout]

when i came over the other day i heard him muttering about duolingo in a frankly terrifying way.

solo.

[marisoling]

he's ridiculous. [...] he's from the 1930s, i guess ridiculous was a given.

solo.

[timedout]

he mentioned he was a time orphan. that has to be rough.

he seems like a decent guy tho. i'm glad you have him around.

solo.

[marisoling]

i plucked him from time myself. he's a bit resistant to adapting.

he's a great guy. he's helped out a lot with elena. he's kind of... family, i guess. at this point.

solo.

[timedout]

look at you, being a hotshot hero.

yeah, i saw the picture on the fridge.

solo.

[marisoling]

it suits me better than [...] what we were doing before.

i like that one. it's sweet.

solo.

[timedout]

there were some heroics back then too. it wasn't all partying and stealing like constance.

solo.

[marisoling]

misguided heroics. that's the part that i don't necessarily want people to know.

solo.

[timedout]

[...] yeah, i get it.

solo.

[marisoling]

sometimes i do feel guilty about not telling them, though.

solo.

[timedout]

do you think you owe them the truth? or is it something that you get to keep for yourself?

solo.

[marisoling]

depends on the day. sometimes i think it's none of their business. other times it feels wrong to keep it to myself.

solo.

[timedout]

you'd hope that the people who matter won't let it change the way they think about you. you're still the same person.

solo.

[marisoling]

laurie would be the biggest test of that.

solo.

[timedout]

i think he'd come around. you can always blame me if you need to.

solo.

[marisoling]

blaming you would just be lying, theo.

solo.

[timedout]

would it?

solo.

[marisoling]

you're not responsible for my actions.

solo.

[timedout]

you wouldn't have gotten into it if it wasn't for me.

solo.

[marisoling]

in that case, we might as well blame sammy.

solo.

[timedout]

might confuse the people here, but i'm not mad at the idea.
