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.

[ What could be more productive than hunting to provide for the village? Thor writes a message off early one morning before coming to Kirk's place of residence, hammer on his hip resting next to a dagger for cleaning their kills. It shall be a far simpler affair than their last hunting trip to be certain. ]

[ Kirk was not a hunter. It was just a fact of his life. He had never had to hunt for food in his life, and he proved that quite astoundingly on the first attempt (remember?).

He got up and headed to the door when he heard the knock and raised a brow when he spied Thor, his friend and fake-lover. ]

Fancy seeing you here.

I had written you in warning- or have you not yet received the notice?

[ That is- less than satisfactory, but perhaps if Jim has no desire to hunt they might simply walk the perimeter of their diminished village. ]

Oh.. I hadn't really checked to be honest.

[ He turned back and went to his journal, flipping through the pages til he found the message. ]

Oh. Well... Uh, sure, I can come, but you do know I know basically squat about hunting, right?

[ Fair warning and all, get it all out in the opening. ]

Tis high time you have learned. A skilled leader such as yourself should have some experience in providing for his men should it ever be an issue. You need do nothing more than observe as long as you are comfortable.

Yeah, if we get stranded in space I can assure you that "hunting" isn't a fall back.

[ But he's still going to get his boots, tugging them on, clearly intent on coming. ]

stopmjolnirtime: (So we might speak)

[personal profile] stopmjolnirtime 2014-10-14 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Here, Jim. If you are lost here. I've no doubt there are those that would be glad to have you lead them.

[ What a difference a few shifts and a removing of his head from his ass makes; Thor may look upon Jim with the same care he does any midgardian, but he has no doubt of his valor. Or his will. ]

A sweet sentiment, though I kind of doubt it.

[ He stepped out and closed the door, tapping his boots against the dirt. ]

So, where to, hunt master?

North of the village. There has been some large game spotted there.

[ Deer, perhaps a young boar. They will need but one to feed themselves for the next few days. Without the farm they depend wholly upon the village grocer to tend to their needs and with the sudden spurt in the village's population? It's somewhat more difficult than previous to manage. ]

[personal profile] universal_charm 2014-10-15 03:49 am (UTC)(link)

[ Large game sounded less fun than he thought Thor thought it did, but he wouldn't argue. If he got in over his head, he really just needed to retreat behind Thor, whom he was sure could handle himself remarkably well, voice or no voice. Not that he planned a retreat and all, but he preferred not to get gored if at all possible. He wasn't trusting of this village's medical expertise to be able to save him in case of an emergency. ]

All right, north it is. Lead on.

[ He made a gallant gesture with his arm before promptly heading off in said direction. If nothing else, Kirk had a working mental compass. ]

Is anyone else coming along, or is it just you and me?

stopmjolnirtime: (Trust me when I say)

[personal profile] stopmjolnirtime 2014-10-15 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ He keeps an even stride, the odds of finding large game are good to the north, but something smaller would also suffice. With the spear he'd rested at the side of Kirk's door he leads up the path. ]

Thee and me. That is all.

[personal profile] universal_charm 2014-10-15 04:13 am (UTC)(link)

[ He glanced at him for the use of the archaic "thee", but whatever. That was Thor. Loki was just more hip, he guessed. ]

Guess we've come a long way from the first time then, huh? Was pretty sure you were going to purposefully push me in front of whatever animal we came across and take bets as to my form of demise.

[personal profile] stopmjolnirtime 2014-10-15 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
I would never. Dump you into the snow and perhaps leave you to wander back on your own? Certainly. But nothing that would cause you injury.

[ He manages a small smile. ]
universal_charm: (Default)

Re: Oct 9th

[personal profile] universal_charm 2014-10-15 04:27 am (UTC)(link)

Can you blame me for thinking it at the time? You know if I got lost in said snow I could have easily frozen to death or gotten frostbite.

[ He shrugged, but smiled, glad enough to leave their animosity towards each other in the past. ]

You have any clue why we got sent back in time? Because you know how much I love time travel.

[ He didn't. ]

I would have come for you eventually. If I remembered. There was a lot of mead on hand that day...

[ They have come quite a ways from those first few days. ]

None whatsoever. But it does give me pause in hunting too often, lest we end lines that would flourish without our intervention.

The butterfly effect.

[ He nodded, though he hadn't really thought about it much. Based on what Spock had said - old Spock, not his Spock - the time lines simply diverged, not ended. ]

Butterfly effect? What is this?
universal_charm: (Default)

Re: Oct 9th

[personal profile] universal_charm 2014-10-15 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)

It's a theory that stems from the idea that if you go back in time and maybe accidentally step on something as small and insignificant as a butterfly, you could change the entire future.

Basically, a small change can cause ripples that turn giant in the future.

Tis no mere theory, my friend. Tis a valid concern. Such things are told in warning to young Aesir many a time.

Re: Oct 9th

[personal profile] universal_charm 2014-10-15 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)

Yeah, I kind of lived it. A change in the past, my past, caused the destruction of an entire planet, an almost mass extinction of an entire people.

stopmjolnirtime: (Think on what you said.)

[personal profile] stopmjolnirtime 2014-10-15 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)

Re: Oct 9th

[personal profile] universal_charm 2014-10-15 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)

Neros ship came back into my past and destroyed the ship my father was on. Or, even more basic - Nero came back into the past.

The mad king that played a violin as his city and people burned? [ He'd heard the name but once in human history, but that seems far fetched considering the disparity in times. Another Nero, another madman. ]

No, not that one. A Romulan who ran a mining ship.

I have not heard of these people. What quarrel did he have with the planet he laid to waste?
