mother_forkerElsewhere in time and space a demon in a human suit and a basic operational mainframe with knowledge of all human events were sitting in a small room looking at a long string of paper tape coming from old-timey stock market machines
"So how is Eleanor doing now that she's back in school?" asked the demon.
The basic operational mainframe pulled up Eleanor's tape and began to frown. "Well. Her points seem to be going in a downward spiral. She's mocked a squirrel. Ran over five people in a tuk-tuk. Littered. Bet on people to lose in a competition and-"
They stopped and blinked a few times. "That can't be right. Michael look at this."
The demon looked away from the ticker tape to look at the one the operational mainframe was looking at.
"Wait. How can that happen?"
He looked back at the ticker tape he was looking at and then back Eleanor's. "Tahani isn't even on that island! Who is that?"
"It is Tahani," the operational mainframe verified. "However it appears to be a Tahani from an alternate timeline and/or dimension."
The demon looked at both ticker tapes in horror. "Oh. Oh no. We might have really forked things up."
The operational mainframe elected not to tell the demon "I told you so" even though they knew they were right to do so. However they also calculated that saying something would only upset the demon further.
Besides. It was time to see what Jason was wearing today.
[NFI & definitely NFB. Yeah, I don't know. I just like those two.]
