It takes a while, but not too long, it seems they have time on their side.  After a few hours of flight, they approach their destination. => |

<=A COUPLE MONTHS AGO...Niki and Elsey appeared near a pile of carefully placed gravel for a second before disappearing again, still encase in the red tiem bubble
November 16th, 2015 (present to them, past to most people here)Niki and Elsey appear at the same exact gravel pile and land safely. They are currently standing on the side of the road to Seth's Treehouse. The town is just a short walk away. "Whew, it's been a while since I've done an anchor pivot timehop. I'll be at my place if you need me. ➜" Niki begins to walk down the road back to town.

"heh, has it been a while? ➜" Niki stops walking away for a moment.
"Well, not every day, just when it's needed. I guess it's a lot easier to stay levelheaded when you're the driver, considering all the stuff you gotta figure out when steering to some other time. ➜" she shrugs a little. Being an expert at time travel, the novelty has toned down a little bit for her.

"Wait, really? I guess I shouldn't have really assumed anything, even with a time player partner. ➜"
Being in a decent mood, Niki decides not to be a butt about the difference between normal time travel, which everyone experiences as a consequence of time's automatic progression, and irregular time travel, which is the type most people seem to attribute as time travel.
"Yeah, I'm planning on checking on my house and stuff. First thing I'm doing though, is getting my favorite hat. My head feels naked from the lack of hat. ➜"
Embarrassment and shame once again, she had been wearing a rather emblematic but somewhat disposable hat upon the time of her death so she wouldn't get her favorite hat covered in actual blood. And yet she forgot to take the precaution of wearing non-computerized glasses.
"...well, I, better get going now. Seeya later. ➜" Niki resumes walking back towards town.

And, passing overhead... that's a rather familiar ship. The Lunar Whale? No music playing, though.

November 27th, 2015 Niki walks out of her cabin, wearing a slightly different outfit than usual. It's by no means new, except for maybe the black pinned hat and the miniscarf, but it definitely seems like it's a fresh ensemble. She goes down a slightly worn trail that leads behind the house into the woods. Just a regular old afternoon walk by the creek, nothing special.

The Whale attempts to hail on all receiving frequencies - who knows if there even are any on this backwards-ass planet, though.

Niki's compyglasses glitch out slightly, picking up some sorta weird signal from somewhere.
"okay, what the heck is this thing doing. ➜"
Her first thought was oddly predictable.
"...wait, THIS COULD BE AN ARG PUZZLETRAIL! ➜"
With that, she immediately attempted to record the incoming signal in Audacity.

Immediately noticing something clearly from the Kirby Superstar OST playing in the distance, she perks up and drops whatever frivolous time waster she was doing.
Only one person around here would play videogame music that loud.
Ben.
Niki jumps up and flies above the forest canopy to look for the Lunar Whale.

Yep, there it is. Old girl seems to have been through a lot, though - though the original shape was still clearly visible, bits and pieces of the original hull had been replaced, giving the whole thing a somewhat patchwork appearance. There were a hell of a lot of devices on it, too - some of them were clearly guns, but others had less clear purposes. Still running smooth as could be, though.

She seems a little confused to see it tricked out that much over such a relatively short amount of time, but can still recognize it. Then again, who knows how weird the timespace fabric can get out there in space. Even if only a month or two had passed since her passing (and subsequent revival), perhaps there was some odd time dilation going on in one place or another.
"BEEEEEEEEEN!!!! OVER HERE! ➜"
Niki waves her arms like a complete dork for about a minute, before realizing she can just fly towards the thing. She zooms off towards the Lunar whale, taking care not to get too close.

The windshield was plenty see-through, and Ben was inside waving back, looking much the same as he was... with a familiar crow in the copilot's seat. Ben pointed to a nearby field, and the ship's landing gear opened as he began to set down there.

Niki sees Ben and... that suspicious demon crow that wanted his mixtapes back a while ago? Noticing his pointing, she nods and nyooms down to the field area far below.
She lands down on the ground softly and on her feet. Niki waits for the ship to descend.

 The Whale set down, and the hatch opened. Ben strolled out, along with Caim and Amy... and a new face, a mole-person dressed in exotic clothing and wearing goggles. Ben raised a hand in a half-wave, half-salute. " yo." |
