Is This A Time Travel Arc I See Before Me?

[omegamods]

As promised, the time portal opens into the London, England of 1611. The evidence seems to back this up - the local fashion, the coins with Queen Elizabeth's face on them, the accents of the residents as they gossip on the streets about William Shakespeare's latest play with the spirits and the comic butler and throw garbage out of their windows and sell questionable sausages on the street corners and so on. The 1600s was/is not a hygienic era for England.

Speaking of local fashion, at least the Omegafriends won't be sticking out much in modern garments of spandex and frills - any outfits worn through will be adapted to a more suitable style of the times. Exactly how suitable seems to be up to the whims of fate - a Pretty Cure outfit might be transformed into an equally ruffly concoction with a long skirt and bustle, or it might become a completely plain and nondescript dress, or it might completely skip out, leaving the heroine in question in the middle of London looking like a member of a travelling circus. Dr. Jefferson's official scientific explanation for this consists of a baffled shrug.

One thing's for sure: Lady Blue has to be here, and that means one thing: Hunting for clues to her presence! A woman towing a building the size of the Omegabase can't have vanished without a trace... right?

[[OOC: Welcome... to the past! Comment anywhere on this post to continue your investigation, chat with each other, or just enjoy the sights of 17th-century London.

There are a number of people who claim to have seen someone matching Lady Blue's description around, and following the leads will eventually lead the group to the Globe. What they'll find if they investigate it... well, stay tuned!]]

[ so it seems that the time travel portal has seen fit to translate Shooter's usual black and white attire into something of the same hues -- she's some kind of period-appropriate mime, with the facepaint and makeup to go with it

and she's eagerly and excitedly examining everything and generally doing a bad job of the whole low profile business.

someone please come and babysit this child before she gets herself into trouble ]

[pega_pony_princess]

PRINCESS PEGASUS - no, wait, gotta be low profile - MERCENARY PEGASUS IS ON THE CASE!

"Ah! Shooty! There you are!"

Okay, just gonna drag you away from the curious onlookers while making excuses.

"Sorry about this, folks! She got separated from the rest of the circus - invisible wall, you know how it is."

Just gonna raise her voice slightly.

"Circus is in town, folks! Come see the Omegafriends perform!"

[starsburn]

[ Shooter lets out a little yelp of both surprise and protest when she finds herself yanked away from the very interesting people she was about to talk to, and she's about to raise her voice to put this into words when she remembers

oh right, mime

and makes a show of putting up some kind of invisible wall. aaand probably not doing a very good job of it

she does punctuate Princess' words with an enthusiastic nod, though, determined not to blow their cover at least. ]

[pega_pony_princess]

Okay, that accomplished, time to hustle on out of there.

"Sorry for that, Shooty...if you want, we can go sight-seeing in our civvies later?"

[starsburn]

[ WHIIIIIIINES like a huge baby as she's being dragged away ]

I wanna sight-see now! When am I ever gonna get a chance to come back in time to a place like this again? Never!

[ shooter you do remember that this is actually an important mission and not just a vacation, right ]

[pega_pony_princess]

"Geeze, it's just a normal city. There's tons of places like this back home!"

[starsburn]

No there aaaaren't!

[ WHINING EVEN MORE ]

We're in a whole other time! It's not the same at all!

[pega_pony_princess]

"Uh, by 'back home' I meant my home. Ylisse. Seriously, it's just like this place."

[starsburn]

Wait-- wait, what?

[ REWIND THERE A SECOND, CYNTHIA ]

Yee-liss-ee? Is that a country or something?

[pega_pony_princess]

"The Halidom of Ylisse! It's in a different dimension - I had to use the Outrealm Gate to travel to Earth."

[starsburn]

[ s t a r e ]

Really? Really really?

[ ARE YOU SERIOUS, PRINCESS... ]

Wh--what's a Haildom, anyway?

[pega_pony_princess]

"Well, it's like a kingdom, except better because my ancestor that founded it was a sacred hero blessed by Naga!"

'Founded'. Apparently the 'Princess' part of her name isn't an exaggeration.
