"...Right. I guess you have to catch up on the updates, huh."
"...Don't blame me if the ending isn't what you expected."

"It can't be any weirder than the ending to 2001: A Space Odyssey. I think I can handle whatever it winds up being when I read it. ➜ " If it wasn't clear before, Niki has already stepped onto the transportalizer pad.

They're starting to talk about things she has no idea about. All she can really do is stand and listen. Niki seems to be reacting quite a bit about something called Homestuck. "...Homestuck? what's that? It sounds quite exciting. Is it?" Fannie asks confusedly.

"It's this bad webcomic we've been reading. Don't look it up, it's awful. Anyway, I was wondering if the texts mention any female Time players from The Fallen Heir's session?"

Niki seems to be just waiting to say something, smiling like when Spongebob discovered that Squidward like Krabby patties. She holds her tongue however and just sends the group a quick message with her glasses.

Elsey realizes where this is going to ans shoots a look at both Niki and Katie.
A look that basically says "Do. Not."
Kat nervously laughs before asking, "Is everyone ready...?"
It seems she's a little uncomfortable.

"Please, go ahead. I haven't eaten anything in at least a year, maybe more."

"Oh. Well, there were a few. There was the cursed nemesis, who was sometimes a woman. She was chosen by Chronos to be a worthy adversary against him, and her abilities to manipulate time were replaced by a deadly curse that none dare speak its name. It's said that she eventually overcame her curse, but ultimately had to die." She takes a deep breath, and then continues talking. "There was also another who was also sometimes a woman, but much less important. She was said to have accidentally broken time countless times, to the point where her abilities were put under lock and chain. For her cruel treatment of Time itself, the refuse of the ancient realm was sent to her land. There was also another woman, who Chronos foresaw as a possible threat and had his heir attack her as a warning. There is said to be others, but most of them are largely unknown."
She then hears Kat's question. "I believe we are ready." She straightens her posture as she continues to stand on the pad.

"Hahahaha, oh my fuckign god. Niki, do you remember that? Haha, good times, good times. I should be pissed, but, hahaha, it's too god damn hilarious." Katie laughs and laughs and laughs. But it's not sad. "Well, I must ask you to tell me the story of the girl who treated Time so poorly, once we get something to eat, of course."

Niki stifles a laugh. "Hehe, I do remember that. The time travel chastity belt? Who would have thought that would be the thing that would be remembered. That's gotta be some kinda achievement though, getting Chronos's attention through sloppy time travel. ➜"
She answers Kat. "Yeah, I think we're good here. Hit that lever! ➜"

"I go down in history as the worst Time player ever. That's fantastic. I can't wait to hear how Chronos told it."

Kat finally transports the group to the lower floor.
After arriving, she then leads them towards the lounge, which is a pretty short walk from the transportalizer.
The lounge is quite roomy, with enough (incredibly comfortable looking) couches and tables to possibly fit two living rooms. There is another table near the door that seems to be set up for dining purposes. Right between the two exits seems to be a kitchen, set up to be a separate room, but has a setup almost like a diner in which there's only a counter and two sets of those small, waist high doors.
"Well, here we are!" I'll be heading to the kitchen to prepare us our dinner...Though I may need a little help."
"Speaking of dinner...Err..." Elsey looks to Fannie a little nervously.
"Ah, yes! We've been so excited to finally relax that I forgot to ask about that! We don't want to make our guest sick and all..."

Niki looks around a bit and likes what she sees. "Whoa, nice! Man, this is starting to remind me of the old HQ. ➜"
"If you need any help in the kitchen, I can lend a hand or two. It's been a while since I've gotten a chance to make dinner for a crowd. ➜" Niki smiles.

Fannie steps back a bit, are they speaking about what she think they might? Is she to be the feast for these hornless walking legends? She did not sign up for this. Not at all.
"...P-please don't eat me. I don't want to be dinner..."
It seems the actual question to be asked to her was lost between the lines, and the worst was assumed in its place.
