Come Together

by **Will** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 8:49 pm

Will led his ramshackle X-Team toward the Student Union Building.

"It's large, it's fairly obviously central, it appears to exist in most of the timelines, there's place for food and for games there to keep people calm, it's easily accessible...I think it's the most logical point, for now," he explained, opening one of the doors.

Inside a red-haired woman is helping herself to a bottle of tequila behind the bar. She does not look like she belongs there, partially because she's wearing a black combat suit and fur-lined bomber-jacket with a bright silver insignia patch on it, emblazoned with the letters 'S.W.O.R.D.'

"Oh good, some people," John said as he entered behind the group.

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 9:20 pm

"Johnny boy! Want a drink?" Kat asks, downing her shot and spinning the empty glass in a pocket of suspended gravity above her finger.

by **Sara Evans** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 9:22 pm

Meanwhile Sara, who lagged behind John a little bit spots a familiar shock of green hair and hurries towards Will with a relieved smile.

"Will! How'd you end up here? I thought it was just Team 1 that got send out to investigate?"

by **Will** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 9:25 pm

"Sara!" Will smiled...and then his face dropped a little.

"Team...one, you say..."

by **John Hino** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 9:27 pm

John was suddenly distracted from the pursuit of booze by Will.

"Will? You're alive!" he bellowed, crushing the boy in a hug."

by **Will** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 9:29 pm

"Ribs! Ribs, John!" Will gasped out, coughing. "Good, uh, good to see you too."

by **John Hino** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 9:33 pm

He let go. "You disappear into a black hole and that's all you have to say?"

by **Will** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 9:40 pm

"Uhhhhhhhhhh...." Will said, his eyes widening.

"You...you may have the wrong Will here.

Um, both of you."

by **John Hino** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 9:49 pm

John looked positively crestfallen.

"I'll be getting a drink if anyone needs me," he sighed before heading to the bar.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 9:57 pm

Tereza, trailing a little bit behind Will, was looking around. "Okay, not seeing my pack in here yet. Anyone seen a tall-ish blonde named Vivienne or a tall, dark-haired woman, possibly swearing in German, named Isolde?"

by **Will** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 10:03 pm

"Not yet -- I'm gonna stick up a sign-in sheet or something, so people can write down what year they think it is and who they are.

In the meantime, I'm going to go try to get some food together -- some snacks. People are calmer when they're eating."

by **Sara Evans** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 10:08 pm

"Wait, wait, what do you mean wrong Will? Black hole? What's going on?"

by **Will** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 10:15 pm

"There are all kinds of...dimensional shenanigans going on at the moment," Will apologetically smiled. "And there hasn't been a Team 1 for...a long time.

I have no idea what that black hole business is all about, though. Sounds...not very good, to me."

by **Sara Evans** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 10:25 pm

"Oh... okay." she mumbles awkwardly. "Are... you and I still... I mean..."

by **Will** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 10:53 pm

"On speaking terms?" Will smiled. "I'm always there for you, Sara. No dimensional whatsits or whoozits will change that."

by **Sara Evans** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 11:07 pm

"Ouch... Just friends then?"

by **Will** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 11:10 pm

Will sniggered. "Friends with a house and some shiny rings, sure why not."

by **Sara Evans** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 11:26 pm

"Oh you are a jerk!" she laughs and punches Will in the shoulder.

by **Will** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 11:31 pm

"Universal constants," Will laughed, rubbing his shoulder. "It sounds like the Will here is an idiot, though, so, you know. Not everything's the same."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 11:37 pm

"He's not an idiot," Tereza says irritably. "He's had some... difficulties."

by **Will** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 11:42 pm

Will put his hands up defensively. "Hey, hey, no offense meant. Just going from what I've heard."

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 11:52 pm

Vivienne unsteadily leaned against the doorframe of the XUB's women's bathroom. She looked pale and green at the same time. "Tereza?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 11:55 pm

Tereza looks like she's about to say something to Will before Vivienne catches her attention and she moves over quickly, "Viv? Are you my Viv?"

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 12:21 am

"I have been and always will be. Though the last time you asked, we ended up in isolation." She smiled and offered her hand in Tereza's general direction.

"I do not feel well, love, something is very wrong."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 12:24 am

"Yes, it is," she says, taking Vivienne's hand and pulling her close. "We'll get through this, but it looks like there's several universities overlapping ours."

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 1:03 am

"Overlap...I see, that might explain the reason I feel like a very small boat in a very large storm. Not a fan." She leaned into Tereza, using her for stability.

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 4:06 am

"Yup, it's a mess out there. I recommend my friend Jose Cuervo." she says, sliding the tequila bottle along the bar.

"God I hope I don't run into myself. That just sounds confusing..."

by **Will** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 4:14 am

Will went a little cross-eyed for a minute. "Yeah, that sure would be a pity..."

by **Sara Evans** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 4:16 am

"Did you get more cheeky in the future? Just so I know to brace myself."

by **Will** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 4:19 am

"I think I've got precisely the same amount of cheek as always. You'll have to go back and check."

by **John Hino** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 2:28 pm

John finished throwing back a glass of whiskey and looked to Kat.

"So how did a space cop end up in this mess anyway?"

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 5:00 pm

"Bit impossible to miss when your alma mater turns into a gravity mire, even from orbit. Especially from orbit."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 6:40 pm

A large werewolf opened a door in the wall and poked her head in, looking extremely surprised before leaning back into the room she came from and calling out, “Ayami...I think I found...one of your other XUBs?”

Steph left the door open and walked in, shoving her hands into the pockets of her apron.

by **John Hino** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 7:00 pm

"Well yes, you have a point. Did they send anyone else?"

by **Kathrin Schmidt** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 7:05 pm

"Doubt it. I'm not here officially."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 7:11 pm

Vivienne Chinnoir wrote:"Overlap...I see, that might explain the reason I feel like a very small boat in a very large storm. Not a fan." She leaned into Tereza, using her for stability.

"Let's get you to a seat. And maybe some water," Tereza says, gently guiding Vivienne towards a table.

by **John Hino** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 7:17 pm

"Damn. That would have been helpful. But I guess this isn't exactly S.W.O.R.D. jurisdiction."
