Timey-Wimey Nonsense Part 1

Who: Everyone!
What: The Time Travel Trip 2014
When: HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO
Where: Luceti before it was cool Luceti
Summary: The residents are dragged into the past thanks to John's latest Shift. More information is here and here, and, ICly, here.
Rating: Varied



It's early morning in the quiet enclosure that will someday become Luceti. The sun is rising, birds are chirping in that annoyingly cheery way that makes you want to shoot them out of the trees, and the residents are beginning to wake up. Most of them are heading to work, either to farm, or to build, or to work the shops, or even just to prepare a nice breakfast for their families and neighbours. Everyone has something to do.

And then, out of nowhere, a couple hundred strangers show up in the middle of the woods.

At first there is confusion, and no shortage of caution, from the neighbours; newcomers are common enough, but usually they are announced beforehand, and never in such great numbers. The leaders of the town are called in to ask questions. The newcomers are free to explore, but any aggression will be met in kind; if need be, the Filial of the past will defend their homes. They're hoping it won't come to that, however. You're stuck with one another for a long time, after all.

Thankfully, there is one man who might be able to bring the natives and newcomers together: Tyr.

...And the other guy, maybe. We'll see.

[From his perch in a tree, Walter spots Kohaku while he tries to orient himself with their new-and-yet-old surroundings. He nods at her and speaks as she passes close by.]

Looking for someone?
amberguardian: (Curiousity)

[personal profile] amberguardian 2014-10-03 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Sort of, and I'm trying to see where everything is.
blackteriques: (Steadfast gaze)

[personal profile] blackteriques 2014-10-03 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Things seem ... smaller.

[Eloquent as always. He can't even see the mountains in the distance anymore, leaving him looking for clearings in the trees for signs of civilization.

He looks at the way that Kohaku is flying.]


Is that as high as you can fly right now?
amberguardian: (Trying not to be rude)

[personal profile] amberguardian 2014-10-03 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? I think it's just that there's less things here.

[She'll look at the ground a moment before back up at him.]

There's a different powercap here...I'm being careful just in case.
blackteriques: (Windblown glance)

[personal profile] blackteriques 2014-10-03 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Even several years back, we could at least see the mountains.

[Maybe they were supposed to keep that whole 'being from the future' bit a secret -- he didn't actually know. What he does know is that what was a usual landmark for him was no longer in plain sight.

He gives the rising sun a skeptical look before starting over to a branch to see if he could make his way to the next tree over. It was hard to treat the seen sky seriously after knowing the moon had once appeared to fall out of the sky and onto the village.]
amberguardian: (I didn't know that)

[personal profile] amberguardian 2014-10-03 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I think we've gone back than just a couple of years.

[At least a hundred-ish she could guess, by how everything was laid out. Especially with the home she lives in not even built yet.]
blackteriques: (Speechless)

[personal profile] blackteriques 2014-10-03 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[He frowns at that, trying to remember the specifics of what that "John" had said. Once he's crossed over to the next tree, he steadies himself against the trunk while he reaches for the journal usually strapped underneath his cloak.

He flips the book open, frowning in confusion when he discovers the pages are empty. His brows knit together as he continues flipping, only seeing blank page after blank page.]


What in the world...?
amberguardian: (You honestly think so?!)

[personal profile] amberguardian 2014-10-03 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well that catches her curiosity, and he'll soon find her looking over his shoulder.]

...A blank book?
blackteriques: (Wayward glance)

[personal profile] blackteriques 2014-10-03 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He tilts his head to look at her briefly, then keeps his head tilted so she can look at the journal as well. He even turns it to the front cover to ensure that it's still got his name on the front.]

There's absolutely nothing.
amberguardian: (Oh! That's pretty!)

[personal profile] amberguardian 2014-10-03 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, she can see why he'd be confused about a blank journal, so she takes hers out too.

...And it's also blank.]


No way!
blackteriques: (Arms crossed)

[personal profile] blackteriques 2014-10-03 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
So much for references.

[He doesn't try to contain his annoyance at the unexpected discovery, still looking the book over in case there's anything he might have missed.]

Do they even work now? Do you have a pen?

[He glances down at the ground at where he'd left his bag; he didn't have a pen or pencil on him at the moment.]
amberguardian: (Delivery!)

[personal profile] amberguardian 2014-10-03 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope everything comes back...

[There were some important things on there! But, pen, yes. That she does have, and hold it out for him.]
blackteriques: (Even-tempered)

[personal profile] blackteriques 2014-10-03 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Hopefully.

[It's muttered without a lot of actual belief; he's not even sure how these journals were supposed to work, as they lacked a mechanical aspect for him to study.

Still, he takes the offered pen and writes test on the blank page. Then, after a moment, he draws a box around it.]


How do you spell your name?

[Once her name is inputted, the word should show up in a box on Kohaku's own journal.]
amberguardian: (...What?)

[personal profile] amberguardian 2014-10-03 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is why she thinks they're magical.]

K-o-h-a-k-u.

[And she can't help but tilt her head at that.] So they still work.
blackteriques: (Speechless)

[personal profile] blackteriques 2014-10-03 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
But everything that was written in it is gone...

[Give him a moment while he thinks about this; he's never experienced time travel before.]

Because the writing and entries technically wouldn't exist?
amberguardian: (Trying to look smart)

[personal profile] amberguardian 2014-10-03 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Well they should in our journals, unless they're affected by the time travel instead...

[Thankfully, this is not her first time time traveling.]
blackteriques: (Composed)

[personal profile] blackteriques 2014-10-03 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
But if they're affected, shouldn't they have disappeared altogether?

[He rubs his temples after a moment, offering the pen back to Kohaku when he remembers that he's still holding it.]

Whatever. I guess we'll just have to start over for now.
amberguardian: (Trying not to be rude)

[personal profile] amberguardian 2014-10-03 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Not if they're only here because of us.

[Oh well, that can get all to confusing. She'll take the pen back, and put it away with her journal.]

Uh-huh. We'll just have to wait and see.
blackteriques: (Arms crossed)

[personal profile] blackteriques 2014-10-03 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[He frowns, snapping his journal shut and leaning forward to judge the distance to the ground. Deciding it's not too far, he slides off the branch to land on his feet with a grunt.]

Is there anyone specific you're looking for?
amberguardian: (Did you say something?)

[personal profile] amberguardian 2014-10-04 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[She'll come down with him, so he won't have to look up to talk to her.]

Just anyone I know.
blackteriques: (Aloof)

[personal profile] blackteriques 2014-10-04 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'm looking for my housemates. One of them will have the common sense to head towards the village or running water, but one's a small child and the other--

[The other was Grune.]

--could wander around the forest indefinitely.
amberguardian: (Are you alright?)

[personal profile] amberguardian 2014-10-04 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Would you like some help?

[She does have magic that can help find people, but even just flying could be helpful.]
blackteriques: (Windblown glance)

[personal profile] blackteriques 2014-10-04 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He blinks once, but his frown remains in place.]

An extra set of eyes wouldn't hurt. But it's still early.

[They weren't hurting for daylight, at the very least.]
amberguardian: (Trying not to be rude)

[personal profile] amberguardian 2014-10-09 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[I never got a notif for this ;; sorry for the delay.]

It's still good to find everyone early. And I can ask the trees for help if they are in the forest.

[She also has magic that can actually find someone, but she doesn't know how well it'd work right now..]

blackteriques: (Speechless)

[personal profile] blackteriques 2014-10-09 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[No worries! Just thought you were taking a few days off.

The bit about asking the trees for help has him opening his mouth. Then closing it, in consideration. ...And then opening it again.]


You can talk to trees?

[Suddenly, all the talk about not eating meat or vegetables was making some sort of sense.]
