Much is made of the side-effects, which lessen after you've taken several trips. It's also made more unusual by the ''Strands,'' which are different realities in TheMultiverse. You have to repeat (nearly) the same actions several times in parallel Strands in order to successfully change the present. Melisande is very disappointed when she succeeds at her objective on her first trip into the past and then is told she'll have to do it all again at least three or four times before the present is actually changed.

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: The documents surrounding the Halloween party include a reminder to stick with guidelines, particularly because many of the attendees are expatriates from other times.
