[Video] Week 37 - Tuesday Evening

[wisdom_of_hounds]

[Hi there people of Verdana. There is a man with a dog, both trying to look especially harmless. In fact the dog's main purpose on the screen is to reassure everyone that Atticus really is nothing to worry about.]

Well this has been barrels of fun, huh? [He can't hide the slightly sheepish look, he's trying really hard to though. Publicly taking the blame for the whole... altered time reality thing isn't something he's really looking to do but he's gotta know how much of this is him and how much is... anyone else.

Someone had to screw up something along the way right? It wasn't just him.]

Just out of curiosity did... anyone [And there's just enough emphasis on it that someone remarkably perceptive might catch the quiet anyone else that is faintly implied by his tone.] do anything in particular that might have caused any of... well... time shenanigans? Not the traveling bit but the arriving part of the deal.

[Private to Belle]

Hey, I know you're probably busy with all the changes but can Oberon hang out with you for a couple days? I guess the lakes are still intact but I've gotta see it for myself.


((OOC: Fari warning! Genesis might be threadjacking periodically as she is staying with Atticus now and likely hovering nearby laughing at him.))

[Yeah, He's got antlers and... says hello to the dog. In Wolfhound.]

Time Travel isn't terribly difficult if you know how, but the apparent changes that have been made shouldn't be possible if... people are doing their job. Which, if you didn't get stopped from doing more than observing means they aren't

[He sounds more than a touch grumpy about that.]

[Hi, Atticus. Guess who's back?]

I would hope I'm not important enough in Verdana politics for my death to have made enough of a difference. That's just asking to inflate my ego.

[So she's actually with Atticus but wisely out of shot. For now. Instead, she's just close enough that she could reach over and pet Oberon but doesn't just yet.

Instead, she's shaking lightly as she struggles not to laugh out loud. This is actually a very serious matter but it's fairly obvious the major time change was Atticus' fault. He did, after all, go after the domes.]

[Have a face you probably don't want to see, Atticus. But he remembers you, or your voice anyway, and he's going to answer. Might as well share what little he knows, right?

If it helps, he looks earnest and concerned, with a generally amiable underpining. Even better, he doesn't seem to recognize Atticus at all as anyone he ought to know.]

I am afraid not. I was in the far future of this world, as far as any of us could tell, and there was not much to be done there that could affect this time.

I don't see how. One ship and a few little things going missing here and there ain't really the sort of thing that changes history like this, is it?

[But there was something not quite right here, and Briar peers at Atticus suspiciously]

Why? What did people do in your time?

[genoshas_general]

My guess is that we all did. A number of relatively minor changes all compounding into major alterations.

[akito]

I brought a kitten with me, but that's all.

[tallymarks]

You're not planning anything risky, are you?

[Her frown's a little deeper than concern alone could possibly account for, but it's not a no.]

...

[He's catching that 'anyone' bit and sort of tilting his head with a grin]

I don't think an invisible winter spirit like me could anything. But you, on the other hand...

Depends on when you landed, I suppose. Lots of us landed when Verdana was in its heydey, so I don't think we did much to change anything, though Akito brought home a cool lookin' cat.
