Charles looks at the floor, just... staring in shock.

"Look, you're not the only one who lost someone to the rift. I've been searching for my little brother since he disappeared on that day. The closest thing I found was someone kinda similar in the same general age bracket as me, but he doesn't even remember ever having a sister... ➜"
Niki sighed as she glanced towards the window.
"The only evidence that some version of me could have been there in at least some timeline was a series of phone calls from an adult foster care home asking why I didn't show up for work the day after, a red mountain bike locked up with a bike lock I still had the key to, and this pocketwatch. ➜"
She pulled the pocket watch back out of her pocket and placed it on a nearby table.

V!FL: ...what the heck was that consort doing with the replicator anyway?
V!FL: ...Wires are a fucking mess.
V!FL: Yet the replicators screen still seems to work... let me look up somethin- WHAT KIND OF STORAGE DEVICE DID HE HOOK INTO IT. THAT IS A LOT OF DIGITS.

Niki blinked before answering.
"You know, I have.. no idea. I'm not even sure how that guy even got in here. ➜"
She glanced over at the replicator and its fancy new attachments.
"...whoa. Was that guy one of the alchemeter cultists from way back when? Or maybe someone that worked at the mad science lab that the rogue of heart version of you had on the mountain a few miles from here? ➜"

V!FL: Well, lets see... Database seems to be shot, as there isn't a way to search through it right now, and checking the replication of the last item, apparently it ran a "best fit" with the materials it had, considering it was missing the exotic material that it called for... 281 Trillion items seems like it wouldn't fit in any storage that could fit in this room, though... So, I'm betting between either reality warping mad scientist, or alchemiter cultist.

"or, third option, it's probably just connected to a Federation database using the Ring server as a proxy."
With that random comment, Kimura walks into the bar, hand covering an ear to try and block out the screaming outside.
"sorry if I'm interrupting anything, figured I'd stop by and find out what that screaming was. honestly, I could hear that guy from another universe........ somehow." He fails to notice that it was, in fact, Copland broadcasting an audio stream from the bar for reasons unknown, instead of cross-universal hearing. ...For that matter, he fails to realize FL seems different.

V!FL: Hey Kim... oh. Light. not mine. Great. is there /no one/ left but me from my timeline?
V!FL: If so... that's... rather depressing.
Charles suddenly brings his hand up to his head, wincing for a short period.
V!FL: I'm fine, its fine, nothing is wrong with me, don't worry.

"Oh, hey there Kim, nice to see you drop by. ➜" She smiled slightly and waved.
"we were just talking about this thingie hooked up to the alchemeter and stuff. ➜"
Niki looked over at Charles and sighed. She wasn't exactly sure what to say to him.
((okay guys, I really need to ask here: are we going to go with past-tense or present tense? I've been going with past tense this entire time and you guys switched to present tense at some point. we need to figure out which one to be using here.))

FL: You sure its using the ring server? I mean, for all we know, the federation could /exist/ here.
Suddenly, before Charles can continue on that line of thinking... the consort runs through the front door... and just starts waving the stick. Which does nothing.
FL: ...

Niki glanced at the consort like wat, blinking a couple times
"um... what's with that thing? ➜"
She looked back over at Charles and Kimura with a milder confusion.
"also, what the heckie is the federation thingie you guys are talking about? some kinda space thingie? ➜"

Charles seems stunned for a moment, before managing to spit the words out.
V!FL: Wait... YOU HAVEN'T SEEN STARTREK?!
V!FL: ...How could you not see startrek, you would have nee- oh god, the tear wiped startrek from existance, didn't it... except startrek existed before we entered so unless doomed timeline affected far past meteors creating a doomed butterfly effect...
V!FL: ... :<

"um... I was raised on star wars stuff and my parents weren't trekkies at all. Though I wouldn't bet on star trek being wiped, I doubt that would ever happen in a universe that Shon probably still exists in. ➜"
There was a pause as she briefly thought about an old friend, and then a disturbingly dark possibility crossed her mind.
"...wait, has anyone seen Shon lately, like, at all? ➜"

V!FL: ...Wait, what did I just say?

Niki facepalmed at the innuendo-laden statement, but it seemed to have eased her worries somewhat.
After a moment of unrustling her jimmies, she spoke up again.
"Okay, so the federation is a star trek thing. Got it. ➜"
