From the outskirts of the star system, a teardrop shaped ship folds down back into normal space, pausing for a moment before vanishing again, and reappearing, this time in the planets orbit, as it slowly enters the atmosphere of the planet, gliding with no apparent source of thrust, before landing gear fold out of the bottom of the ship, landing gently near the village. Shortly afterwards, the hatch in the roof opens up, and a young man wearing a dark blue shirt climbs out of the ship.
V!Charles: "alright... these are the coordinates... I swear if she pulled a fast one on those coordinates as well, next april fools I'm gonna put windows in both her house and in the nearest lake."

Charles decided to look around a bit, wandering into the village.
V!FL: Well, it looks like someone lived here... at the very least. Lots of dust pretty much everywhere. And the grass is pink... either a paint bomb went off or Niki is getting a Lake in her house- wait, whats that.
There was some shuffling coming from the old bar. Puzzled, Charles entered it.

--a minute later--  Right behind her cabin, a woman in red emerged from a sphere of numbers, and subsequently flopped to the ground. Future!Niki: ugh... too much time travel... ➜After a few minutes, she recovered from her lethargic collapse upon reaching the point in time that she had been aiming for, and walked out from behind the cabin. She pulled out her pink pocketwatch to check the time. It was thankfully still intact. The woman scanned the area, as she often did upon entering another time frame. The activity in the bar piqued her interest. She walked towards the bar out of curiosity. Memories of an irrational fear of this particular building surfaced in a benign manner. Gene's Garden, technically the second version of it (the first being a pub somewhere on prospit), had been known for being the site of many fatal accidents and incidents in its first year. A particularly strong memory of Charles being decapitated via guillotine came to mind almost immediately, but of course was dismissed. This bar couldn't possible be haunted, could it? The woman opened the door and entered the bar, leaving her anxieties outside in the sweltering late June heat. |

V!FL: What. The. Fuck.
GC: *SCREECHING*
The bar had several honey jars all over the ground, with a Leopard Gecko Consort clutching several in its arms, screeching at the face-palming Charles, who was seriously questioning reality at this point.
V!FL: Okay, Calm down. Alright, just calm down. Calm the fuck down. I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE YOUR FUCKING HONEY SO CALM THE FUCK DOWN!

The woman stood there at the doorway, boggling at the scene in front of her.
A few blinks before she stopped zoning out.
"Um.... what's going on here? ➜"
For some odd reason it had not yet registered for her who exactly was in the room. She waited for an answer, still not quite at full mental capacity.

Charles seems like he is trying to ask a question, but he isn't getting any words across, due to the gecko consort screeching at the top of its lungs, while it is slowly making its way to the replicator, access panel wide open.

In that moment, Niki stopped zoning out and just straight up walked up to the gecko and reached down to pick it up and chuck it out the window.
"...dude, Charles! You made it here! ➜"

The Gecko pointed a blue stick at Niki, before getting thrown out the window, confused as to why that didn't work.
V!FL: Yeah, I made it, mind telling me whats up with the change in attire... and grass color... and construction design?
Some screeching can still be heard from outside, but quiet enough for messages to be conveyed across.
V!FL: Also that joke about the Chump was in pretty bad taste, I'll let you know.

She took a deep breath before finding a chair nearby to sit down.
"Alright, I think I've go a lot to explain here...
First of all, I'm not sure if you know this already or not, but there was kind of a thing that happened at the beginning of the year that sort of... ripped this universe a new one. Yeah, I think I can explain it that way. So everything is in this weird mismash state of being from a bunch of different timeline splinters, probably in an attempt to sew up the fabric of spacetime with whatever was available. That's more of a guess than anything tho. ➜"
Niki then waited for Charles's reaction. She p much figured this would likely be something that would have to be thought about a lot to fully comprehend, if even at all.

Charles sits on the floor for a minute, eyes closed, trying to take this in.
V!FL: ...so pink grass got uh, "patched" in?
V!FL: and we have a version of Seth here, that would be ordinarily doomed, that doesn't have the fucking paradox armor, and HASN'T BEEN FUCKING KILLED YET?!

"From what I can vaguely remember, it was Ben's idea to make the grass hot pink. ➜"
Niki stalled a moment before she attempted to answer the next question.
"Um..... wait, do you mean comastuck seth? You do realize that one actually turned out alright for the most part? Or do you mean, there's another one out there? ➜"

"Well... it's more complicated than that...
Our Seth, through the intervention of an eldrich creature, a magic dreamstage, and our pre-reset selves that escaped from the v1 session, managed to sidestep that completely, by retroactively having his choices branched through quantum memory manipulation.
So I'm pretty sure that the Seth in this timeline isn't going to turn into Chronos, especially while he's in a coma.
Also, our group defeated Chronos on the battlefield, and to my knowledge, he's still dead.
Then again, considering the endgame door was apparently hard-coded to not allow any glitches through, there's p much no chance that he could have gotten through from another timeline either. ➜"
She really hoped that this Charles would be able to understand her long-winded and complex explanation.

V!FL: ...ooooooooh shit.
V!FL: so... it... wasn't his last laugh after all.
V!FL: The door killed Hank, and we ended up making a back door after we were told that due to our changed aspects we would likely also...
For a moment, one could almost /see/ the gears turning in his head.
V!FL: wait. Red. Time. You never had your aspects changed by him, did you.
V!FL: I. I need to find my Niki. She... she would know what to do.
(( Willing to remove the door thing if it ruins plot things ))

((Probably a good idea to remove the back door. Keep it simple))
Niki looked down at the floor, uncaptchaloging a cheaply made pocketwatch. She pressed the button on top and the front thing flicked open, revealing the clock face more clearly.
"I'm... not sure if we'll be able to find her... ➜"
She closed the front thing on the watch and put it away.
"But, my group did go through having our titles changed, though it only lasted a day or two before they were changed back. That being said, I'm pretty sure a day's experience of briefly being a sylph of light won't be enough to help... ➜"
