I see no reason why this is a problem when they'll end up coming back anyway. In case it hasn't been obvious to this point and as KoL mentioned, this is a prequel RP in which everything eventually falls into the canon.

I can't speak for anyone else, but it was decidedly not obviously a prequel RP to me. I assumed it was just another timeline, like the humdred variants that Homura went through.
