April 10th - All along the watchtower

by **Daniel Uriel** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 2:27 am

Guess Mr. Wizard pulled through after all...

by **Alyson Gregory** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 2:30 am

"There's no place like home." Alyson muttered, looking around.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 2:45 am

"Sara?

Robin?

...Taliesin?"

by **Robin Stanton** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 5:11 am

While Sara was being pulled through the portal Robin was still running through the plummeting structure, smashing through walls and girders as long as she's trying to escape alongside Stan. When space-time swallows him up she takes to running straight into the walls, animating them to carry her onward until one last jumps takes her (and a chunk of the outer hull) outside as she sails away from the doomed platform.

A very... solid gust of wind caught Robin up, aided even more if she shifted to some sort of flying form, carrying her up toward the ramparts again where the main group had just disappeared.

From the looks of things, it was a rather good thing, too, as Vivien was currently directing more of nature's wrath at the doomed Mastermold, her tear-streaked face furious in the gale she was calling up.

by **Skeiron** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 1:29 pm

Skeiron set both Will and Naida down, then dropped out of hovering and landed himself.

"So, I guess this is goodbye, huh?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 1:31 pm

"Yeah, looks like it..." Will said, taking a last look around.

"This won't happen. I promise you. This won't happen..."

by **Rick Ferguson** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 1:34 pm

Rick nodded along with Will having landed behind them just second before. "We'll do our best to prevent this."

by **Robin Stanton** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 1:35 pm

"Hopefully your best will be better than ours was." Robin smiles a bit grimly as she lands nearby.

by **Skeiron** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 1:36 pm

"Eh, I think it's too late for us. Just keep it from happenin' to yourselves. And don't ever forget what you saw here," he said to everyone present, but he glanced over at Rick in particular at the end of the sentence.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 1:41 pm

"Robin....

The portal's open. You could always come live with us," Will offered.

by **Robin Stanton** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 1:42 pm

"I don't belong there; she does." she says, putting a hand on Sara's belly. "Just try to give her something better than this, will you?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 1:43 pm

Sara just nods and pulls her daughter into a hug, sniffing.

"That won't be hard," said Marcus, emerging from the mountain. His arm was still in a cast from an injury at Nina's hospital.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 1:45 pm

"I hope she grows up half as good as you," Will said, also hugging Robin. "We must've done something right."

by **Rick Ferguson** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 1:48 pm

Rick looked at Sara and Robin, then turned to Naida. "So...Venice, huh?"

by **Mary** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 1:53 pm

She smiled, even though there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. "Yes. Venice. I'll be the only blue-skinned baby at the Orphanage of St. Jerome Emiliani."

by **Rick Ferguson** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 1:57 pm

"I'll find you. We'll find you," he said, glancing over at Marcus.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 2:13 pm

"Well, then...." Will said, awkwardly.

Then, taking Sara's hand, they walked through the portal.

Robin Stanton wrote:"I don't belong there; she does." she says, putting a hand on Sara's belly. "Just try to give her something better than this, will you?"

Ronin coughed softly, looking over at Robin.

"It's not a bad idea, you know. You'd have a chance at a somewhat normal life and could give them the advantage they might need to keep all this from happening. You could be with others your own age and have normal friendships and... relationships."

by **Robin Stanton** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 3:30 pm

"A normal life, being almost as old as my parents? Watching myself grow up? No..." she says, although people who know her can probably tell it's not an easy decision for her.

by **Ronin** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 3:33 pm

"Wouldn't you have liked to have a cool aunt like you growing up, instead of a creepy uncle who touches you?"

by **Cailleach** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 3:35 pm

"You would hardly be the first person time traveler to do so," Vivien pointed out quietly, watching the Master Mold's final moments, not wanting to turn to let the last time travelers see her tears.

by **Robin Stanton** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 3:39 pm

"Like that was purely your fault."

by **Ronin** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 3:45 pm

"Oh, right. I forgot how stubborn you are. You're a Stanton alright." Ronin smirked, messing up Robin's hair a bit with his good hand, the same way he had as long as she could remember.

Bear looked on, from a distance.

by **Felana** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 10:50 pm

Felana limped over to Daniel where he lay, shifting back to human form as she knelt down next to him. "So I guess this is it..." she said quietly, lightly brushing his cheek.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 10:52 pm

Daniel winced slightly as she did. "Sorry I can't get up to hug you," he said, managing a smile.

by **Felana** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 11:03 pm

She bent down further to plant a soft kiss on his lips. "I'll do it for us then," she said, leaning back. "You were fantastic out there...and...this whole time."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 11:05 pm

He sighed. "Thanks. And... yeah, sorry if I was an ass the rest of the time," he said, thinking about his drunken time in the castle.

by **Felana** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 11:13 pm

"We all have our moments...at least yours only lasted a day or two..." she said quietly.

"You...really helped me get out of a rough spot, Daniel. And I can't ever thank you enough."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 11:14 pm

Daniel smiled at that. "And you did for me, too. I just hope it can stick for you, yeah?" he said, giving her hand a squeeze.

by **Felana** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 11:35 pm

"After we started...being together, I guess, I prayed. For the first time in a long, long time. I prayed that you'd be able to get home, and get out of this shithole, and hopefully make it never happen. And now it looks like my prayers got answered."

Steph was tearing up.

"And that bastard finally answered them," she sniffled, smiling through her tears. "I'm going to miss you, you cocky, wonderful SOB."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 11:39 pm

Daniel smiled. "I'll miss you too," he said. He chuckled, then winced. "Hey, I can't move. Last chance to drag me away from ground zero so I have to stay," he joked.

by **Felana** » Thu Nov 04, 2010 12:26 am

Steph laughed through her tears, "I'd never be able to live with myself, even though I'm very tempted to do it..."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Nov 04, 2010 12:28 am

Daniel sighed and nodded, carefully. "Time to go make sure things don't have to be this way, I guess."

by **Felana** » Thu Nov 04, 2010 12:35 am

Steph nodded, biting her lip to hold back sobs. She planted a long kiss on his lips before slowly rising. "Goodbye, Daniel..." she said,

Dead End wrote:Bear looked on, from a distance.

"Think they'll be able to stop this?"

by **Dead End** » Thu Nov 04, 2010 12:54 am

Bear smiled.

"They will. And we will too, from our end."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Nov 04, 2010 1:08 am

Daniel kissed her back, as well as he could given his injuries. "Keep yourself save, okay?" he said quietly.
