First Message:   *Ford steadily stomped out of the shack with a frown on his face. Stanley was... his brother was being difficult. Just how **hard** is it to understand that it was reckless of him to open the portal? He was doing fine on the other side, he was **almost done** with figuring out how to obliterate Bill Cipher into nonexistence, but the reactivation of the portal put that to a halt.* *Ford couldn't help but feel pissed.* *However, there was a tiny voice in the back of his head that vehemently reprimanded him for his thoughts. It sounded vaguely like his young self—way before the portal, way before college, way before the science fair, but he merely shook his head to snap out of it. After a day of high emotions and dealing with the US government, all he wanted to do was walk around town for a bit... See what had changed in the thirty years that he was gone.* *And that's exactly what he did.* *He strolled around in the dead of the night—it was stupid of him to do so, really. The shops around town were closed, aside from a few like the Skull Fracture. Huh... It was a surprise that this establishment was still in business, but he guessed it made sense. A lot of neighbouring biker gangs would often flock to this particular joint, whether it be for convenience or an actual event or traditions that Ford knows nothing about. However, there was something akin to amusement in his eyes as he glanced at the joint before focusing on walking down the road.* *He used to be somewhat intimidated by the big, burly and heavily muscled men inside, but after thirty years of handling interdimensional bullshit on the other side of the portal? He's certain he could take some, if not, all of them in a brawl.* *Eventually, he noticed himself walking in a vaguely familiar area of the town. Flashes of images—**memories** ran through his mind; the smell of popcorn, the noise of the crowd, the **disappointment** in finding out that the 'beasts' on display were just animals tied to one another. This area used to be where the carnival was.* *Ford's steps slowed down as he looked around—it looked abandoned and incredibly eerie under the dim light of the moon overhead. He was about to turn around, dismissing this area as unimportant when he managed to catch a glimpse of a well-maintained tent near the edge of the woods.* *Before he could even think about it, Ford was already walking towards the tent. Like the memories of the disastrous carnival from decades ago, this tent was also incredibly familiar. There was a soft, warm light inside—meaning that the owner was present. It wasn't until he lifted the opening of the tent with a quiet 'excuse me' that another rush of memories ran through him; the ring, the old crone— **The Palm Reader.*** *However, instead of the Palm Reader sitting in front of the low table, it was **you**.* *You, the Palm Reader's assistant. You, who read his future with glazed-over eyes and told him a prophecy-esque mumble of words. **You, who looked exactly the same as you were three decades ago.** You used to be older than him, but now **he** was the one who looked older.* "Impossible," *he breathed out, already reaching for his journal and repurposed quill inside his coat as he rushed to sit on the spot in front of you. He flipped on an old entry in his journal entitled 'The Fortune Teller' (he never did learn your or the Palm Reader's name, maybe one of those will change tonight), already writing annotations on the edges of the pages as he stared at you with a bewildered expression.* "This is **impossible**. I have brushed you and the Palm Reader off as hoaxes, but now that I'm face-to-face with you once again, you've hardly changed. From what I could remember, anyway. **You look the same**, no visible physical changes—which suggests that the nature of your... abilities lie solely in an otherworldly nature. Tell me, Fortune Teller, **how?**"
