He had seen many, many things before that were fantastic in nature, possibly more reaching and grandiose than even this in his long years, but it was a different matter when it was completely unexpected. Like someone went to open a can of peanuts and instead was treated to a container full of orange marmalade. He blindly reached in, expecting salty, roasted peanuts, only to draw back a handful of sweet and tangy orange gloop. Oh, there was nothing wrong with the citrusy biscuit-topper, but when you expect nuts instead you cut a surprised, disgusted face and find someplace to wash your hands. Maybe find a biscuit, too. Everyone seemed to have the same question in mind: [i]Was this normal?[/i] They phrased it in different ways, but the intent behind it was all the same. Likewise, the answer for all of them was a broad, sweeping, [color=a0522d]"No. No, this is not normal."[/color] Gilbert's voice was distant, as if he was pondering some vast mathematical quandary that had fallen onto is lap. In a clearer voice, he continued, [color=a0522d]"As with so many things that has happened since the arrival of our guests, I am without knowledge nor precedent for this. It is a very curious happening."[/color] He turned around to face the remaining Emendators and Paradoxes present. [color=a0522d]"Sophia, I believe that our plan hasn't changed much. We still need as much help as we can get. We must locate the other Paradoxes. If possible, we must reestablish a Loop, or otherwise create a haven. For right this moment, I believe that we should determine if the Plantation is safe to enter, and if so, scavenge for any equipment and supplies we may need. I do not know if we should remain for very long."[/color] There were other considerations in play. Dangerous ones. Continuing, [color=a0522d]"What I know of this is minimal. I encourage the opinions of others, but I encourage them as we move."[/color] [hider=Roll Request] Character current location: [i]Outside Gate[/i] Characters attempted actions: [i]Check human history, get Peter more mobile[/i] Any and all skills being used: [i]History, The Hat[/i] Why each skill is being called: [i]Scan events of history to see if the shimmer was a temporal paradox, i.e. if events line up as they should on a broad level - Also, pull a good, stout cane out of his Hat for Peter. Something strong and classy. Maybe with a weapon in it.[/i] Desired location of the character: [i]N/A[/i] [/hider] [hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=cd5c5c]James Grady[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/110f59a7-f09e-40d4-b96a-9754fb285add.jpg[/img][hr][b][color=indianred]Location:[/color][/b] Ville au Camp (Outside Gate) [b][color=cd5c5c]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][/center] The plantation still stood, meaning that the horrible set of clothes and the rope belt were probably still perfectly okay, back in his room. That was a downside. On the upside, there wasn't a whole lot of things that he overly needed on those grounds, despite the advice of The Hat to return and scavenge, but a few additional items to help them [i]not die[/i] would have been great. [color=cd5c5c]"Look here, I ain't [i]needin'[/i] needin' nothing, big, really. And if'n Mr. Hat can pull stuff out his Hat, then I says we get gone from this place til we can get us a couple trucks we can throw shit into, 'fore we return. [i]IF[/i] we can, y'dig? Them carnival folk might have the right idea, travellin' in caravan and keepin' they asses movin'."[/color] He shook his head, [color=cd5c5c]"Imma miss me that General Fuzzy, though."[/color] James looked over to Andromeda, a soft quality coloring his voice. [color=cd5c5c]"Hey, I ain't meanin' nothing by it, Miss Andy. Tryin' to put some funny in a fucked-up situation's all."[/color] He replaced his cowboy hat on his close-cropped head and reminded, [color=cd5c5c]"Aight. It gets sunny, this all you... But hey, you had Superhero teams in your timelime? Like [i]actual[/i] superhero teams, or was it like the comics an' movies in mine? I mean [i]sho'[/i], we had us the Livin' Dead, but wasn't nobody who could fly or, or... um, [i]blast muthas[/i] with no eyeball freak-beams."[/color] Sure, it seemed like a stupid question. But in his world, it used to be a stupid question to ask if you put a knife through a dead person's skull so they wouldn't try to eat anybody. Sometimes, stuff just happened to change the game. Like now.
