 Rise waves at RN. Wearing Jovin's blanket and scarf like that, the resemblance to the EF of this time is uncanny. However, only one figure has been seen with horns and facial structure like that. "...Hello. I'm FI, the one who pestered you. This is my friend, he uses the chuminitials FF."Rise is getting uncharacteristically nervous for some reason. Had they forgotten something? |

Patrick shakes his head for a moment. “Sorry, you reminded me of someone for a second. So, FI and FF, got it. What’s the situation?” He says

Jovin narrowed his eyes at RN, not missing the look at rises horns and taking a step closer to Rise protectively just in case. “Don’t worry, FI be chill. We be here to help a fella who’s in danger in ya time.” He leaned towards Rise to whisper “kinda forgot the horn thing and what it meant in this era…”

Rise takes a moment to try and take some deep breaths. Fortunately, between Jovin standing there protectively and Brae offering moral support across The Network, this manages to be easier to handle.
"...Yeah. There is a void player by the name of Dylan who's in danger. I'm not sure if you've heard of them yet, but there's a company called Voidco that's trying to recruit him. Voidco is bad news, especially in the time after The Escape here."
Rise tries to only give the minimal amount of spoilers for the sake of clarification. RN is an heir of hope, so it should be alright to say these things.
"One issue though, is that we may have gone back a little too far in the past."

"Yeah, it seems like you're a bit too early. Since I'm pretty sure we haven't found this place yet." He says, looking at the Dome. "You said it's supposed to be purple, right?"

Jovin groaned at that, slapping his forehead and dragging it down his face. “Lovely… sorry bout this R-FI. I seem to always make us lost… and guessing it’s time loop bs why the dome is purple, effect coming before the cause… what do we do, FI?”

Rise thinks for a moment. "Hmm... I suppose this gives us time to prepare for the confrontation. It's always better to be early than late, after all. Only question is, how off are we?"
Rise then swaps to a generic handle on chumdroid to check the lost pawn's memo.
Fortunately, the timebar option is active, allowing them to scroll back quite far through the past and future of the memo. However, their ability to post there has been disabled for some reason. They cringe at the instance of their deadname present in one of the messages.
Rise shows the memolog to the others, mostly RN.
"Haven't found it yet? ST literally made this damn dome! And if this is anything to go by, your crew's been supplying it with dream mist!"
Noticing that the timebar has a future scroll option, Rise scrolls it up to the 14th.
A bit more scrolling, and Rise finds an instance there The Stage is written in purple, on the 17th.
This predictably takes a while.
"...I may have found a range of dates. By the 17th, The Stage will be noted to be purple. On the 14th, a number of pawns will visit. Since today is the 10th, that isn't too far away, but it may be best to jump ahead to after the memo-users visited this place visited."

“ Y- Uh.. you know, the... One thing I should...” Patrick says, clearly flustered.
“…Look I may be heavily depressed and spend most of my time in the server room because I have too many issues from unprocessed PTSD.”

Jovin tries to look like he's understand when they are but... he was pretty sure he wasn't really active at this time on the memo. but he does notice rise's discomfort and pats their shoulder.
"...Yeah, the game and shit can really bugger you up. Least ya aware that ya having issues bout it." Jovin says, sadness tinging his voice before going back to normal. "if ya don't feel up to helping I understand, but.... having three heads together would be good. Also, you know this time the best... And yeah, the less time we spend in this time, the better, mostly cause it means less time for things to go sideways."

"I suppose I should ask if you're willing to work with us, RN. If all goes right, then everything will fall into place. If it doesn't..." Rise glances away, triyng to think about the implications of a doomed timeline in the furthest ring. The possibilities are too heavy to ponder. "...well, I'd rather not think of that."
Another pause.
"also, I'm sorry if I'm being a bit snappy, time missions tend to get me on edge sometimes."

“Sure, I’m willing to help. No point being alive out here if I can’t make a difference once in a while.” He says, with a twinge of survivor’s guilt.

"You are handling it pretty well! Then again, I tend to avoid time missions in general cause they tend to freak me out... time travel and time bullshit in general does..." For a moment he seems to be thinking about something else, shivering and sparking purple for a second before refocusing "And yeah... don't blame ya on not wanting to think of that."
Jovin blinks before nodding at them. "Thanks! and yeah get that... but pretty sure ya going to be a big help- not cause of time stuff but just a feeling"

"Considering how Dylan knows you, your voice is likely going to have the strongest sway on him."
Rise thinks for a moment. Should they jump ahead to the 14th? Should they hide somewhere until the right time?
"So, should we jump directly to the 14th, or jump to the 13th and wait until a sign appears while somewhere out of view?"

“I mean, you’re the Time player I assume. But I’d think that the 13th would be safer, so we don’t accidentally get seen by the Pawns. Since I’m assuming that you two getting spotted here would be bad for the Timeline.” He says, rubbing the chin of his helmet.

"I'm.... pretty sure they would have no idea who I was so wouldn't be a too big a deal but with FI... yeah we would want to make sure the Pawns don't see us... Also, who are the pawns again?" Jovin asks sheepishly, very much showing off his himboiness. "Are they the uh, folks who came after one but before two...? Also we should get ya a Hat, cause the horns are cute but could cause problems."
