Voltaic
Darth Binks is real.
You are sitting in math class bored out of your mind. This is nothing new, after years of studying and effort that you may never be able to put in again just to get to this point, and despite the teachers monotone voice awkward silences, you foc=cus the best you can. A powerful feeling inside you of wanting to be anywhere else but here wells up inside, though you still give a half effort to keep your eyes open and following along. It is only the start of the class. Thirty minutes in, and it already feels as if you have been there for an eternity. If it has only been this long, and having so much left, you question your ability to focus for the rest of the class.
The work is heavy, and the computations are large. Without a calculator there would be no hope of keeping up. For this class. The Bureau of Calculator Control and Safety Administration has trusted you with such a dangerous device. Like a tired trucker barely staying awake controlling a multi ton vehicle at highway speeds, you start to feel as if you are loosing control, but continue on anyways, you feel you have no choice.
Your mistake was not known up until the consequences of what you have done. The world you see around you starts to warp, as the light is bent around the space time ripple. Other students in the study hall react thusly to the change, while the other side of the room reacts the same, but looking as if they are moving in slow motion. You feel a strong pull rocking you back and forth in different directions as the gravitational waves radiate outwards. Your professor as if he knew before hand, throws a textbook right at you at an inhuman speed, just missing you and hitting the calculator.
He furiously stomps towards you, and with a look of fear, anger, and disdain chokes out the words "What have you done?" you look down to the broken calculator, and see the message
'error' in the LCD before it fades. You realized you have broken the space time continuum, you doomed the world. In your fatigue, you divided by zero.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are now required to live with your past self from a decade ago while the world crumbles around both of you. This is going to have to last for another ten years. First impressions? I am thinking you may have a small amount of idea off the bat about how it goes. Kinda just is one of those things that either work or don't. Thing is though, even if it doesn't work, you have to at least cohabit the same living space... until 2030.
How would you make that work? And I wonder what life changing effects the younger version of yourself living with the current one. I wonder if those effects would translate back into yourself as well because of some sort of weird time paradox or something. That makes for an interesting scenario. The better of an effect you living with your younger self for that ten years has, effects you as well... don't know how that would work.
You guys think you could do it?
