Charles makes his way out of his hiding spot in Gene's, heading over to Niki's house. He looks... angry?

 The hourglass rests at the front door, finished with its enigmatic countdown. The door itself seems to be unlocked. {map of house interior}  |

Charles stops at the door, pondering on how to handle this... Kick down the door, try to phase through it... ooooh, an hourglass.
Sighing, he picks up the hourglass and knocks on the door.

There is no answer. It seems nobody's home.

Charles looks at the hourglass closer, and experimentally flips it-

The sand seems to be trapped in the chamber. No amount of turning or shaking can make it go through to the other side. There is a note attatched to the bottom that reads "Your time is up", typed on sturdy cardstock.

Charles shoves the hourglass in an unoccupied modus folder before ejecting the contents of the folder at high speed away from the village.
He then dives to the ground to take cover.

Nyoooooom! the hourglass goes flying!
After a moment of flight, it falls into the woods and a very faint glass breaking noise can be heard.
A chilly wind blows slightly, a few harmless leaves dance past.
And then, it is silent again.

There is no explosion. Perhaps a cold shiver, but not much else.
The front door remains unlocked to any who dare to test it.

V!FL: (okay considering reaction when she first saw me... other version must have been bad... but Niki reacted okay... maybe personal thing?)
V!FL: um... I hope you don't consider me rude for asking, but... um... what was this timelines version of me like?

V!FL: ...okay why the hell didn't niki shoot me on sight then.
V!FL: I mean, its not like shes letting murderers roam free- oooooh shit.
Charles wrenches the door open, and charges inside, having jumped to conclusions.
He runs around the house, hunting for Niki: There is no way she is gonna play the "I'm not here" card right now. NO SIR.
And if she actually isn't here, maybe he can get his snoop on and figure out what is really going on.
