download a bundle of tabletop games at 3 am

find a giant pdf labeled "act one"

it's a game played by only exactly three people on different levels of reality.

you also play alternate universe versions of your characters on different levels in reality

secrets in the book are written in mirror writing

the whole book is an in-universe preserved text by someone in a different universe

i am so into this game.

best thing i've ever read.

i tell all my friends about it the next day.

"sounds cool, what's it called?"

i can find no evidence of this game.

i can find no evidence that this game ever existed.

i'm not even sure what bundle it was in.

all my friends develop the theory that this game is a dream i had.

they tease me about The Time Bird Dreamed An Entire TTRPG That Could Only Be Read In A Mirror

i find the game three years later

it's about dreams

my boyfriend is literally on stage

You are home and not busy.

You are at your baseline energy level, i.e. it's a normal day and you're not extra tired or stressed from any atypical prior events.

The person in question is a good friend or close family member whose company you enjoy.

No plans have been made with this person.

This isn't about a specific scenario, more of a general outlook difference. Anon's partner sometimes goes to certain friends' houses unannounced, and while anon's partner knows their friends well enough to know that this is acceptable, anon is always baffled by this because anon would not appreciate an unannounced visit no matter how much they like the person.
