Ad Eternum: Aftershock

[saximaphone]

Forté, Forté and Forté gladly conversed amounts themselves, much to the confusion of everyone else. Being used to time travel tends to make one at ease whilst talking to oneself.
So at ease in fact, that he decided to bugger up the flow of time even more.

With a bright flash, yet another figure appeared in the now crowded apartment.

"Hello, my temporally displaced selves! It is I, CAPTAIN FORTÉ! and I am here from the distant future to perform one final trip through time!" exclaimed what would hopefully be the last Captain Forté, "I have come to congratulate Jade and Galiena for a job well done, and to see them off as they begin their journey to complete said task! I also come bearing SPACE SHORTBREAD!" he declared, brandishing a large tin of the delicious futuristic treat.

The past versions of Jade and Galiena had seen this before of course, but their past selves were mighty confused.

"Also, I have come to remind you all of something important!" continued Most Distant Future Forté, "To preserve the flow of time, Galiena must give a facebattle to each of us!"

"But I do not remember any facebattle," replied Second-to-Farthest Past Forté.

"Neither do I," said Second-to-Farthest Future Forté, "and I would have remembered two!"

"Ho ho!" laughed so-far-into-the-future-that-we-don't-even-care-anymore Forté, "Of course not! It never happened! I was just hoping to trick the feisty girl into doing it!"

"Obviously it didn't work, as none of my future selves can remember any facebattle, or multiples thereof!" responded the youngest Forté.

"Indeed!" bellowed Ridiculously-far-into-the-future Forté, "It's a little time-travel joke! Going back in time to make something that didn't happen happen is a logical absurdity! You of all people should know that, and now you do! Which means I do! Because I told myself! Quite a humorous circle of shenanigans we have here, isn't it chaps!"

"Of course I remember! I have experienced this very situation once before!"

"And I twice! We are just pulling our own legs!"

"No doubt I will hear this joke twice more and tell it once to my collective selves! I see from my own reactions that it remains just as funny each time! I will be sure to remember it exactly after hearing it that much!"

"And you did! I remembered it because I told it to myself three times, yet only said it once! If this isn't a responsible use of time travel, I don't know what is!"

"DOHOHOHOHOHO!"

This is getting fucking ridiculous.

"What...the hell?!" Galiena snapped, glaring at Forte--or rather, the Fortes. "Someone explain what's going on before I yank one of your helmets off your head and bludgeon you with it!"

The Galiena that had just arrived with the second Jade let out an irritated sigh and rubbed her eyes, then waved her had dismissively. "Just...just go with them," she muttered sourly, "and get it over with. Easier than trying to make sense of these nitwits on your own."

The first Galiena scowled and bit her lip. "...ffffine," she exclaimed. "Can we go now, then? As in, not in five more minutes?"

[~God dammit sax that's brilliant]

Zephiur looked between the two as he observed. One of them was very clearly of a noble presence, and the other seemed to harbor a mysterious purpose, but he sure seemed angry. After the nobleman asked him his business, he nodded and replied, "I've veered off my course and was hoping to get a bearing for my direction." he said, taking note of the dry heat in the area and subconsciously decided this is where he would stay until nightfall when he could get back to Mekanos.

[~Sorry for short post, I'll get back into this RP I promise]

[saximaphone]

"Very well!" shouted the Forté that will soon take the others back and has just returned them, "If Jade wants to leave now, we will. You two can eat when you get back, as in right now! What say you, Jade? Are you ready for some time travel? I already know that you will say yes, but I think it's good to let you at least think that you have a choice!"

Some men are just more subtle than others.

[Game Angel]

"Eheh." Jade made an unconvincing smile, hunching over as he grinned uneasily. "Yeah, I guess. Let's go."
The future Jade waved at his current counterpart. "Hey, it's not as bad as you're expecting!" He called out.
Jade grimaced. Let's hope so.

[saximaphone]

"THEN IT IS SETTLED!" shouted the Forté that was supposed to go back so he could come back, "We will leave at once! You can all eat when you come back, that is to say, after we leave."

Forté grabbed the correct Jade and Galiena and entered the coordinates on his device.

Forté from the distant future began to reminisce as he said, "I remember doing the time-warp, drinking those moments when the blackness would hit me."

"And the void would be calling..." muttered the other two.

"Let's do the time-warp again!" shouted the Forté that was about to go back, and so he did with the past versions of Jade and Galiena in tow.

[Tetrunes]

Allen Tanner walked out of the gates, they were still trying to clean the blood from the stone streets.
making his way southwest, he saw a large are, a place of no life, no hope.

He saw a few people chatting in the distance, He couldn't hide anywhere, and had no jurisdiction here. Hopefully they wouldn't attempt to avenge someone on my behalf. He crouches down and listens.

[Also, Yay, time loops closing]

[Lambeth]

Hel wandered around the church district, attempting to gather her thoughts on what to do next. Pursuing the man who until recently wore PANK was out of the question. She knew not where the odd king had vanished to. She was at a loss. Perhaps she should search for house of law. Perhaps a prisoner would know where to find this man who wore PANK. She found herself at a prison. The guards immediately took her to a cell, for reasons she could not fathom. She did not object. She did not want to cause more destruction, not so quickly after the last battle.

She spied a couple of men in a nearby cell, muttering to each other. She heard the tail end of the conversation "... you can come along, but if you're caught don't expect any help." She grabbed a piece of bread the guards had left for her and threw it at the cell to get their attention.

"Hey jailbirds, do you plan on leaving this prison?" she whispered, sounding rather raspy and metallic.

[vealin99]

Martin heard the metallic voice and iimediatly responded. He wasn't sure what to say but needed to come up with a plausible lie. "No, we were planning on ambushing our rival prison gang." Martin patted himself on the back for coming up with something that didn't suck, at least not that hard. He really didn't want to get anyone else involved.

[Lambeth]

"You're lying. You don't look the type to worry about petty squabbles."

[vealin99]

Martin didn't have time for this, he still had to think of a plan to accomidate 3 people another person would just make this even harder. Martin turned towards Viktor and gave him a look that said "Back me up on this...please?"

[Lambeth]

"Here, it's hard to hold a conversation from two separate cells." Hel breaks open the door to her cell and stomps her way over to Martin. The guards appear to be on a extended snack break or something, for they are curiously nowhere in sight.

[Potato]

Garrett awoke to the sound of the wall breaking.
"Oi!" Garrett grumbled, eyes still shut. "Who's makin' all this racket?"
He opened his eyes and saw a woman tearing down the door of a nearby jail cell.
"Miss! D'ya mind doin' the same thing for my door too?"

[Sol Reaper]

Viktor started laughing. "Ahahaha, we're goin' free, lad!" he shouted. "Just as long as we're out, I don't care how it happens. Ahh, now I can finally show those military scum what-for! Get me to the armory so I can nab my gear back." He cracked his knuckles a bit and waited for the what he assumed to be a mechanical person to break down the other doors as well.

[~Until Zephiur gets some interaction I'll steer Viktor in this story]

[Lambeth]

"Normally I would do this but..." Hel breaks the cell doors down. "You wouldn't happen to know anything about the Delacroix family, would you?"

(Eris never explicitly mentioned his name to Hel but I'm gonna say that Eris is a good little boy and labels all his clothes with his name.)
