[Tomasque]

[66] You peek through the foliage and see the musicians carefully get off the tables, one of them without a lyre. You look down at the lyre that you took with you. Suddenly you understand: When going back in time, the ChronoMouse must have deleted all copies of the things you took with you, including the copy of yourself, to prevent a paradox. To them, it must have looked like you and the lyre just.. disappeared.

  Suddenly you feel a change in the air, a sort of static whine. Your Chronowatch's display has the words, "[TMB-42] detected. Impact imminent."

[TamerVirus]

See if I can conceal myself

[Tomasque]

You do not need to do anything to conceal yourself, the dense foliage already does that. Suddenly, you hear a crackle and a gust of wind. After a brief pause, you hear a hysterical voice in the air. "Where are you Jenkins?!" It is the voice of your business partner, Nale.

[TamerVirus]

Keep quiet and see what he does

[Tomasque]

He proceeds to wander about a little, checking behind the tables and trees. "Jenkins! Come out you coward!" He yells in that distinctive whine. "Come out where I can see you!"

[TamerVirus]

Ninja my way to where the tree beings are.

[KingofstarrySkies]

PTW.

[Tomasque]

You skirt around the bush, and start sneaking among the trees, [35] but suddenly you hear a gunshot fill the air. The bullet zings over your right shoulder. "That was a warning shot," he threatens behind you, "Now give me the ChronoMouse."

[TamerVirus]

Stand up with my hands raised

What are you gonna do, shoot me?

[Tomasque]

Silence. Then you hear a gunshot and a bullet whizzes past you. "Damn right I will," he says, "if you don't give me that ChronoMouse."

[TamerVirus]

Make a run for it to where the tree creatures are

[Tomasque]

You make a dash into the forest. [100 vs 66] You leave him in the dust, but he fires one desperate shot. You hear a deafening blast, realizing seconds later that it was no gunshot at all. You when your hearing returns, you hear a piercing scream in the air.

[TamerVirus]

See what's happening

[Tomasque]

You look behind you to see Nale, speechless, his arms scarred with shrapnel. On the ground are the remnants of his gun. He turns towards you. "I'm still not dead, am I?," he says, and walks towards you, clearly in shock.


 ((Sorry, gotta clock in for the night, I think. Parents came home early.))

[TamerVirus]

i guess this is a good time for you to get some rest

Thump him in the head with my lyre
