I don't regret firing people today.

You can't fire me!

[janee]

I didn't! I only got rid of the non-productive idiots!

[mia_j]

Who now?

[janee]

The non-productive idiots. If they're not checking email, they are not working.

[mia_j]

Can't you like go forward in time and tell who's a good employee before hiring them?

[janee]

It's not working again.

[mia_j]

Time travel?

[janee]

...Yes. I'm stuck here forever.

[mia_j]

What the kriff?

[janee]

It's no big concern. I have Richard.

[mia_j]

Your powers are broken... why?

[janee]

I don't know. I tried to figure it out, but I'm happy. Life is good... I'll just enjoy it.

[mia_j]

This doesn't sound like you.

[janee]

I'm me! I just... I have Rich and I'm happy. I promise that I'm me, and I'm healthy. I had myself checked out.

[mia_j]

I mean it doesn't sound like you to just accept it. You can be angry about it.

[janee]

I'm not angry.

[mia_j]

Why not? I thought you liked time travel.

[janee]

I love it... It's the only time that I feel in place.

[mia_j]

So you aren't trying to find out why?

Emily says she's trying to find out why.

[janee]

Because I have Richard, and cats, and Anna and you and Lynn. I don't ever want to give that up. And maybe I would if the time travel came back.

Did she find anything?

[mia_j]

Why would you give any of us up?

Not yet.

[janee]

I never would. Maybe this is a choice I have to make, and I choose all of you.

[mia_j]

What the hell? If you never would, why would you have to make the choice? What?

Are you sure you're not doing this to yourself somehow?

[janee]

Who knows? Older me could be doing this.

I think I'm tired of fighting I just want Rich to give me the ring and to get married and just be happy with no crisis.

[mia_j]

Could be...

I get that. I'm tired of crisises too. Really tired.

He hasn't give you a ring yet?

[janee]

No, and I really want one. I keep looking at wedding dresses and- I can't do that yet. I don't even have a ring. Just a 'someday'. Which is fine because we have a long time.

[mia_j]

Who cares if you have a long time or not? When they're the one, a long time still isn't long enough.

Want me to kick his ass for not giving you a ring yet? Better yet, give HIM a ring.

[janee]

No, I want him to do it. I don't want to pressure him, or be a terrible girl for him. I just want it to be perfect...

Think I found a reason your powers might be stalled.... or she's another victim of the reason why.

A kid version of you is in my office right now. Says she ran away from home and lost her parents.

WHAT DO I DO WITHOUT SCREWING UP YOUR What do I do without screwing up your timeline or your life?????

Re: text a while later

[janee]

What.

I did, when I was eleven, but I got sent back home as soon as I found my Mom. Just... she can find my Mom, and I'll get sent back. Everything is fine.

[mia_j]

Okay but should she really be in this year?? And is your mom in this year? Little you gave me the address of a pawn shop owned by your mom, Ella Morton.

[janee]

No. She should be in 1997. That's when I first ended up in New York.

My Mom is dead.
