oo9 ★ LET'S NEVER EVER DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN

[electrowhipit]

[ There's a laugh, though it's a bit strained, a bit forced. ]

I think I've got whiplash from how fast I got yanked from the past into the future. Everyone okay?

... Speaking of whips, these would've been nice to have a couple of weeks ago. [ deadpan: ] Thanks a whole slagging lot, Mayfield.

[ private to Flora | unhackable ]

Uh. Flora? I know we haven't... been officially introduced, but I owe you. You... probably saved my life. I- um. I know you've gone through a lot lately. Are you- is there anything I can do for you?

[ private to Harley | action, since they're in the same house ]

Harley? You around?

[electrowhipit]

I remember you, clear as day. I'd still... like to properly meet you, though.

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

Y-Yea, I'd like that too.

[electrowhipit]

Are you doing anything right now-?

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

I-I'm not. Would...you like to meet up somewhere?

[electrowhipit]

Sure. Where at?

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

W-would the park be alright?

[electrowhipit]

The park would be fantastic. I just... have to make a quick stop first and then I'll meet you there, okay?

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

Alright! I'll...I'll see you soon, then!

action time!

[electrowhipit]

[ And a while later, Jolt is strolling into the park, looking around for Flora! ]

action time!

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[Flora's sitting on a swing, moving back and forth lightly.

Hearing Jolt approach, she looks up and smiles softly, raising her hand in greeting.]

action time!

[electrowhipit]

[ waves! ] Hi there.

action time!

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[She hops off the swing and walks over.] It really is g-good to see you.

action time!

[electrowhipit]

[ It's hard to forget how close they were in that future, or how she helped him in the "past", so... screw this, she's getting a hug ]

action time!

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[She laughs, giving him a big hug in return. Nothing could have described how happy she was that they were still friends.]

action time!

[electrowhipit]

[ Yay hugs! ]

Thank you. Thank you so much. [ he owed her his life, and even in a place where death isn't permanent, he'd never forget that ]

action time!

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[She takes a step backwards, still smiling.] Why are you thanking me?

action time!

[electrowhipit]

For being there. For... coming to help me. [ he shrugs ]


I uh... the future me had gotten you a present, and well, I sort of felt like I should, too. So... [ he holds out a little box for her ]

action time!

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[She stares at the small gift in surprise and takes it from him lightly, just...looking at it in disbelief.]

You...got this for me?

action time!

[electrowhipit]

[ he might look a tiny bit embarrassed ] Yeah.

action time!

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[She's still admiring it.]

Thank you...

action time!

[electrowhipit]

Go on, open it.

[ It's not much, but she'll fine a little necklace inside. ]

action time!

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[She does so very carefully, and when she sees the necklace she gasps, a huge smile appearing on her face.]

It's...it's perfect!

action time!

[electrowhipit]

I'm glad you like it.

Re: action time!

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

I love it! [She's just beaming, practically jumping up and down.]

action time!

[electrowhipit]

[ He can't help but beam back- her smile is catching ] Let's see how it looks on you, shall we?
