This question also made me picture a scene of Meg and Harriet from #InReverse going knife or axe throwing. Meg intentionally sticks the weapon straight into the bullseye. Then goes back and swings an arm as if (reverse) throwing it.

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 6:06 PM

She knows you sometimes have to make concessions. But she certainly won't let this discourage her or stop her from trying to make the world better.

#InReverse: I don't know that I've had any character show themselves as especially cynical, yet. We'll see if I end up with one.

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 11:51 PM

They do fancy a practical look, though.

I haven't depicted Sabrina with jewelry, but if she ever wears any (perhaps a bracelet?), it's black or silver.

#InReverse: Harriet wears a wedding ring.

Meg probably has one too, since she's widowed. Maybe she wears it on the other hand?

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 3:06 PM

I'll probably get Aimetor to join the D&D group, eventually.

#InReverse: Harriet goes rock climbing. She probably has a climbing partner, likely Meg, or possibly Ed or Andrea.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar likes coop boardgames.

Their cousin Madison plays VR games, including shooters.

Aimetor isn't too picky, though not to the point of spending this opportunity on a hot dog stand. They do find the portions at most places in this world a little small, though, so they might go for a buffet.

#InReverse: It's morning for Meg, and she's going to an all day breakfast place.

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 6:24 PM

#InReverse: Weak vibes for this one. Meg is still adjusting to her new life and frequently forgets how things work. She might find it embarrassing, although the story as I have it doesn't say. Here, Meg and Harriet are at a hotel.

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 2:09 AM

Sabrina plans everything to every minute detail eons in advance, and never needs to adjust her plans after the fact.

#InReverse: Meg and Harriet mostly follow the Instructions for the Time Reverser, plus improvisation and reacting to each other, who have each seen the other's future.

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 3:02 PM

#InReverse: Meg might get to see historical events, but not any she wouldn't already have lived through. She may also get to witness some (fictional) events that are not widely known about, either kept secret or only limitedly publicised.

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 2:14 AM

#InReverse: Meg now lives in North York (Toronto) with the Cassells, namely Harriet, Ed and Andrea Cassell.

So far, Meg has been sleeping on the pull-out couch in the living room. That might change.

Even days are for posting whatever!I suddenly pick out a magical resonance in the distance. I look in that direction but see nothing. It sounds sort of like a soul, but… off, somehow. Not a pleasing sound.
“What’s that magic coming from over there?” I ask.
Aimetor frowns. “Ghost, maybe? Hopefully not a…”
Aimetor curses in Nemorian, and I can hear the terror in their aura.
“Essōr anămōm!” Aimetor shouts.
The mage starts to respond, then stops and turns to the invisible source of magic in alarm. The two non-mages turn around as well, looking around in confusion. Kalai looks to be freaking out.
“Er, Alios?” I whisper.
“Right,” Alios’ voice says after a second. “Brr. Soul Devourer.”
‘We did not bring it here!’ Kalai shouts, regaining composure.
‘Nor us,’ the mage replies. ‘Foroug’s sword can destroy Soul Devourers. I did not know that particular enchantment would come in handy.’
‘Strike true, or it will drain the sword’s magic and likely break the enchantment,’ Kalai warns. ‘I can control it from a distance; Iubiugra will guide our strike.’
‘We are not giving the sword to a stranger!’ the mage says. ‘I have this.’
They ask their companion for the sword, most likely in Akewan, because Alios doesn’t translate. They then start levitating the sword and send it in the direction of the Soul Devourer.
‘A little farther!’ Kalai calls. ‘No, too much!’
The sword suddenly drops to the ground.
“What just happened?” I whisper.
“It cut the thread,” Alios responds. I make a questioning sound, confused, and Alios continues. “The magical thread connecting the sword to… No time. Ask me later.”
The mage talks to the little one in camo, who takes off the belt of magical supplies and runs off after the sword.
‘You need someone who can sense the spirit. Someone without a soul to risk.’ Aimetor gestures at me. ‘It has to be this one.’
Aimetor turns to me. “Felix, you must be the one to deal with it. It will sap your magic if it touches you, but it cannot eat your soul because you have none.”With a pained expression in his eyes, the doctor picks up the gun from the table.
I hear the muffled pow of a gunshot as he turns around and shoots Gem in the chest. She sits there in confusion for a moment or two, unmoving and bleeding out.
My vision is very blurry now, and I feel on the brink of death. I try to think through the brain fog.
If I’m going to die, then so be it, but I won’t just lie here while this psycho doctor shoots people. Adrenaline now coursing through my body, I rip out the tube attached to my arm. Gem slowly turns to lie face down on the bed right beside me. I reach for her, but my arm seems to pass right through her and I roll over onto my stomach.
For a moment I wonder if she vanished, but no, she’s just on the other side of me. I painfully push myself up and reposition myself to be sitting on the side of the bed. I stare as the pool of blood from where she was shot trickles upward towards me, towards the wound in my chest. What is going on?
The doctor sets something down that emits a dim glow, and points the gun at me. I hear a whap as something tugs me forward. I feel searing pain for a moment, and then nothing. The blood on my chest is gone and even my dress looks intact. How – ?
The doctor places the gun on the table once more. Once I get over the shock of what just happened, I get up and hobble over to the table. I pick up the gun and inspect it closely. It just looks like a regular gun. But somehow… it healed me? He sacrificed my sister to save me? However he did it, that’s awful!

#InReverse: Meg has written books! I don't know that they count as famous, though. There's also the instructions for the Time Reverser, which are attributed to Meg's sister Gem, but may in fact be the result of a bootstrap paradox.

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialOct 1, 2026, 11:36 PM

#InReverse: Meg hasn't had much cause to laugh lately. She could use a laugh in her life.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar is pretty amiable and keen to laugh. It tends to be genuine and friendly.

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialOct 1, 2026, 5:18 PM

#InReverse: Meg was jumpscared by an unexpected attacker, who shot her. She would've died, if her day hadn't gotten even spookier. A strange device was used on her, and now, everything is uncannily backwards, as Meg is stuck living her life in reverse.

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialOct 1, 2026, 12:23 AM

The whole history of Nemoria, and her whole story, would have to be rewritten.

#InReverse: Meg would like to write herself finding a way to right time for herself. She might have to admit, though, that a scene of her just enjoying regular time might not make for that interesting of a story.

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialSep 30, 2026, 1:21 AM

Sabrina answers all the prayers she receives, and she can get to it at any time from her perspective, so it'd be practically impossible for her to completely go missing.

#InReverse: Harriet knows Meg will disappear. She hopes it is not that day.

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialSep 30, 2026, 12:50 AM

And that's nothing compared to Sabrina who has waited eons for some moments. I mean, she has been eagerly looking forward to some things. But impatience on these scales is still far more patient than your average patient person.

#InReverse: Harriet doesn't want things to come faster.

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialSep 28, 2026, 11:11 PM

#InReverse: Meg knows herself decently well, but don't know much about her sister. And she doesn't know just how MUCH she doesn't know. I'll leave you to figure out why that's relevant.

One thing is, Meg hasn't had a chance to figure out her sexuality.

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialSep 28, 2026, 12:31 AM

#InReverse: For Meg, we'll go with a muffin. Not a sweet to be enjoyed after dinner, but a breakfast item to start the day.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar loves to bake! That doesn't narrow it down any, though.

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 5:44 PM

#InReverse: Meg isn't too proud of how she's never managed to stand for herself. But she's working on it. Hopefully she'll be able to be proud of herself one day.

Harriet is proud of the inventions she's made. The Time Reverser is the biggest, but all she did was follow instructions.

@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialSep 26, 2026, 10:49 PM

For dragon form, that's often a whole day's affair. Some animal forms may be a little easier, but it'd likely still be a decent chunk of the day.

#InReverse: Meg is busy enough just figuring out how to live in reverse at first. Later, she'll take up writing.
