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!]]

"Well done! I knew I could count on you," Kaguya said happily, giving Reisen some well deserved pettings.

[unluckyhare]

"Well, uhm, I had to, we couldn't risk affecting the timeline!"

[mooned_hime]

"..."

There was a thoughtful pause at that.

"What if these were important pastries destined for another individual's stomach?"

And just as she finished saying that, she took a bite of one...

1/2

[unluckyhare]

"W-what!? Do you think that's even possible?!" Reisen stared at Kaguya, clearly flabbergasted.

[unluckyhare]

"Don't bite into it?!" Reisen suddenly squeaked out, but it was too late.

[mooned_hime]

"This is actually pretty good," Kaguya said, offering the pastry to the moon rabbit, "Try it!"

Why didn't she just offer a fresh one from the bag instead of the one she's bitten?

[unluckyhare]

"B-but the timeline... What if we ruined something?!"

That clearly was on the rabbit's mind over pastries!

[mooned_hime]

"Oh, my silly Inaba. If buying pastries was that dangerous, then just being here would be equally as bad. If that were the case, we wouldn't have been allowed to step foot into the past."

[unluckyhare]

"...!"

Reisen slumped. "You... I guess you're right..."

...

"But we should still exercise caution, they did try to change our clothes so..."

[mooned_hime]

"Of course. But for now, eat~"

... This time, Kaguya was trying to feed the pastry to Reisen instead of giving it to her.

[unluckyhare]

"And we mmmpf...!"

Reisen had apparently been in the process of adding another statement, but was silenced by pasty. It was very effective.

[mooned_hime]

"Isn't it delicious?" Kaguya asked, withdrawing the pastry from Reisen's mouth and taking her second bite from it.

[unluckyhare]

"I-it is pretty tasty." Reisen remarked, nodding. Well, this wasn't too bad, but - the mission!

She immediately looked around and, predictably, found nothing mission-related whatsoever.
Clearly, Kaguya had suceeded at derailing the mission into a vacation!

[mooned_hime]

"You should relax. This is a vacation, after all," Kaguya sighed, noticing that Reisen was still entirely too wound up.

[unluckyhare]

"It...was a mission..." Reisen protested, but in vain. She knew Kaguya, after all, and thus knew that she had lost. Utterly!

"I'll... at least make sure the vacation works out properly then..."

[mooned_hime]

"Good, good," Kaguya said, petting the moon rabbit, "Maybe we should enjoy a performance at the Globe Theatre while we're here."

[unluckyhare]

"HUh? Oh, err, alright. I haven't watched anything like that before, but I'm sure you'll like it, princess!"

[mooned_hime]

"You don't think you will?"

Kaguya would actually fall asleep during the performance at some point...

"Perhaps something else, then."

[unluckyhare]

"I don't know, I haven't watched something like that."

Didn't exist on the moon, and japan's theatre would likely be totally different.

[mooned_hime]

"Let's give it a try, why don't we?"

After a pause, she looked around, before saying, "I suppose we'll need to ask around again for directions."

[unluckyhare]

"I know the way back, we were already near then, so we should be fine, I think?"

At least she thought so! Surely, London shouldn't be that bad for her sense of direction.

[mooned_hime]

"Very well, then. Lead the way, my Inaba~"
