What has occurred so far:
Alastair has shifted himself and Adra back in time, to the moment where Niccolò stole Alastair's name. Alastair has killed Niccolò's family, and set the home ablaze. Upon seeing the house, Niccolò immediately pushes himself to be in control of his own body, panics, and begs Adra to help him save his family. After hesitation and consideration of potential consequences, Adra agrees under the condition that Niccolò bring his family back with him to the present.
Thus, both she and Niccolò salvage his family's bodies, as well as the original body of Alastair, and places them in a special pocket dimension that she has crafted from her alchemy, the door being one that can grow and shrink from the size of a cell phone to a normal size.
After saving the family, Niccolò embraces Adra and tells her that he will never forget her kindness. The pair catch their breaths, and Niccolò lets Alastair have control again. Adra gives him a stone that will feed him energy to help fuel his time travel, though Alastair decides to not use it yet. After a small conversation, Alastair and Adra decide that it would be best to spend the night in town, as Alastair recuperates.

*In a very small part, way back in his head, she would like to go somewhere secluded with him and just make love*
*But has to stay focused, because this is more important than sex*
*Arguably*
*Makes a very determined face*
*now he's thinking about it also* *sigh* *but little!Fabienne is right here*
*Adra knows* *Is embarassed, and hides her head in Alastair's chest*
*kisses her head* *it's alright*
*Will just snuggle as they stand there* *He is soft*
[awkwardly exists]
(*so sorry*)
*oops* I wonder what's taking him so long...
*Pauses* This is long? *Bites her lip, and is becoming worried, now* No..
[Fabien e had been wondering this as well, but she wasn't sure how to say so]
Could something have happened?
[That's rather vague, Fabi. Of course something happened. It's just a matter of what sort of something, and whether that something is a problem]
Well, not necessarily. His time powers are still new- I'd be able to return in a few seconds, but that took a long time for me to master. It could be that he's just returning a bit late.
*She doesn't want this* *she wants her happy ending* Wpuld he have left us..?
At what point should we become concerned?
No, I'm sure he wouldn't have.
We could give it an hour, and then I'll go after him if he hasn't returned.
*Is beginning to panic* *Will start to cry*
Adra, darling, It'll be alright... *holds her closer*
*Is just very anxious now*
I'm sure he's alright. Time travel is difficult, and he's only had it for a few weeks.
*Bites her cheek, and will walk over and sit on a rock* Can I go get some food for us while we wait?
Of course, love. But do you think you ought to go by yourself?
*Shrugs* I'll be okay. I have a bit of money, and will be right back.
*Is on her toes to kiss his cheek, then will walk towards town*
Be careful, my darling. *he will keep in touch with her mentally, to make sure she's alright*
*She will be okay*
*Will buy them some cheese as two loaves of bread, as well as some apples* *For Fabien and Alastair, she will buy them each two chicken wings* *And buys some wine for herself*
*Will comeback fairly quickly*
*he's glad she's alright* Thank you, my Adra.
[Looks relieved to see that Adra is back--she was worried something terrible would happen. She's not feeling optimistic just now]
*Adra isn't either, she is very scared, now* *Will sit on a rock and pull out a little apple for them* I got you both some chicken.
Thank you. *squeezes her hand gently* *it'll be alright*
[Offers a small smile]
Thanks.
*She is really really scared, and eats some bread*
[Nibbles at her own food]
*he will mentally try to comfort her, and will eat a bit of the food Adra gave him*
*Adra is just very scared* *Would really like for this to work out* *Hopes the younger hasn't just abandoned them- or hasn't been killed or anything*
Adra, you don't know how much I cared for you. He hasn't abandoned us.
*Has an ingrained fear of abandonment* *Is very scared* What if he is hurt?
*he understands that- he has it, too* I would give him a little more time to return, but I will go look for him whenever you'd like me to.
*Nods a bit, and bites her lip* *Tries to eat a little more*
[She pulls her shovel (more of a spade, really) out of her cloak and runs her finger along the edge, willing it to stretch and sharpen into a knife]
[It starts to, but she can't keep up the concentration to finish the job]
[She reverts the spade to its previous state]
*after a few minutes, the younger Alastair will appear, with a body thrown over his shoulder* *he drops it as gracefully as he can manage, and then sits beside it* *that was exhausting*
Are you alright? Do you need food?
I'm alright. *breathes out* But food would be lovely.
[gives him the last of the bread from the packet in her cloak]
*he'll accept it, and eat it* Thank you...
*Adra begins to cry, and crawls over, all but leaping at the younger Alastair, hugging him very very tightly* *She has more food- will give him some apples and cheese and more bread and some chicken and will just feed everything to him*
*he is surprised by the sudden display of affection, but will hug her back* *he doesn't need that much food, but he'll eat some of it* Adra... Did something happen?
*No! She will keep feeding him little bits* I was so scared that something happened to you
Oh.. How late did I get here?
*the older answers him* Almost an hour. I would've gone looking for you if you weren't back soon.
*She will also place little kisses over his face and shoulder and hand* *Was so, so worried*
*oh* *he's rather touched by her affection* *he will hug her again* Adra, I'm alright.
Well, I see that now.
*Was very scared for him*
*he didn't mean to upset her* I'm sorry- I thought I would only be off by a few seconds.
You'll get better at it with practice.
*She will crawl into his lap a little, then tucks herself into his coat wth him*
*he likes her proximity, and will hug her still*
*She is very cute* *And hugs close* *Reaches up, and hands her husband the little door* This is for you.. If you want to place the body in there.
*he is very tired, and will rest his head against her shoulder*
Thank you, love. *he takes the door, and tries to remember how to operate it*
*He will just press it with his hand, and it will enlarge* *She holds his head gently* Little boy..
*smiles faintly* Adra, I'm almost 30.
Thank you. *he will pick up the body, then, and lay it out next to his, healing what damage has been done to it*
*Pokes her tongue out* Little. Boy. *Nuzzles* I'm about 431. So you are little.
*Smiles to her husband*
*hugs her a little closer* You haven't aged since I last saw you.
*once he is finished with the body, he will step out and press against the door again* *he hopes this is the way to make it small*
*Smiles* In my world, I met you recently... I went back a few weeks ago to see you. *Kisses his cheek*
*The door shrinks* Yayn
*smiles* *he had forgotten how nice it feels to be cared for* Only weeks... *he pauses* So will you come again?
*the older steps closer and sits beside them, to kiss her head* Two down.
[Is meditating or something idk]
[I feel like my character probes shouldn't have tagged along for this one?? Oh well]
*Bites her lip* No, I'm sorry.. Once we finish this quest, I won't be able to Time travel anymore
51 left. *Breathes out* Man. *Will snuggle between them*
(Noo... It's ok :(
(I mean, I'm quite enjoying reading it, but I do feel as though my character shouldn't be here just now.)
I'm sorry
(It's not your fault.)
It is
We will change it I'm sorry
No really, it's ok. I told you before I joined that I've kinda lost the ability to roleplay properly. Besides that, I'm going on vacation in a week, so I don't want to make you to go a great length to accommodate my character and then have to drop out of the plot.
(Okay..)
Oh.
Well, that's alright. I know you'll keep that promise that someday you will never leave again. *he is very tired, and trying to stay awake*
*Will gently coax him to sleep* Let us rest here for the night, I suppose. He will need his rest. *Will let the younger rest his head in her lap*
Are you sure you don't want, to go somewhere more comfortable...?
*has been reading and following along*
*doesnt currently have the time to commit to role play :/*
*but is really enjoying reading it!*
Oh, I don't really care where we go- and I certainly know that this younger Alastair won't.
-
Thank you, Dugglyn
((Happy birthday, Dugglyn.))
Will you be comfortable enough sleeping on the ground, Fabien?
*Adra certainly is, and holds the younger one, stroking his hair *
*he is already falling asleep*
*Whispers* He is so cute...! *Kisses his little hair*
*older Alastair smiles, and moves closer to his Adra* *kisses her hair* *he is happy she thinks he is cute*
*He is* Is Niccolò in there?
*nods* *he just doesn't have much power*
*Thats very sad* Who is next?
Her brother. Justin Blue.
[Fabien was already half asleep when he asked. She mumbles some sort of incomprehensible response'amd rolls over]
I suppose we'll stay here, then. *the older also nestles in closer to Adra*
*Thinks that's cute, and puts a blanket over Fabien* Wait, what is this woman's name?
*pause* I remember Justin..
Cynthia Grey.
*nods, wincing a little at the memory* He was mad even before I stole him, but being stuck with the rest of us certainly didn't help.
*Nods* Right..
I see...
*Pause* What made you keep doing it?
At first, I thought I could handle it. I saw a chance to get more power, and I had subdued Niccolò so easily, I thought it would be worth managing a few more. The damage I could inflict by stealing other magic... It was too tempting. By the time I realized how badly I was losing my grip, I had too many names that wanted more power. Our personalities and desires were thoroughly mixed, and so I kept stealing them. We never really split apart from that one mixed entity until Niccolò's name was singled out and used against him.
*She gently strokes his arm* I see...
Do you know your name?
*shakes his head* *pauses* *he's thinking, now* *but no, he's not sure it would be worth it* *probably not*
No, I don't think so. *Kisses his cheek*
Do you think we'll still be safe, if I can't heal anymore? I also wouldn't be able to bring anyone back...
*She nods gently* Alchemy can cover it... I will teach you.
Thank you, my love.
Of course, my duck. *Will feed him little food bits, too*
*accepts them gratefully* Have you eaten?
*Shakes her head* I don't wanna
Please, darling, would you eat just a little bit?
*Pauses* *Sighs* You have to feed me.
*smiles* I'll be glad to. Thank you.
*Will give him a bread to break up and feed to her*
*tears it into pieces, and will offer them to her, one at a time*
*Will take them and nibble at his fingers, liking it*
*he thinks she is sweet, and lets her nibble*
*Will have a little snack* *Enjoys it* *Eventjally will stop*
(Shall we time skip the night?)
((Sure.))
(Hey guys)
(Hey Twippu)
*In the morning, Adra, who didn't sleep, will try to hold both Alastairs*
((Yo Trip. 'Sup?))
[Fabien shifts slightly in her sleep]
(Well, the polls just closed in the referendum, so right now I'm apprehensive. Calm, though. I went to the polling station. It was nice and peaceful. You?)
((Hello.))
*the older Alastair will wake up first* Good morning, my darling.
Did you not sleep?
(Oh, the EU..)
*Shakes her head* I did not... I was keeping watch.
(Fun fun fun!)
(Seriously though, at least it's over.)
(Yayy)
*kisses her head* I do appreciate it, love. But you should try to test, as well, the next time you have a chance.
*Nods* I will try. I'll be exhausted by then. *Pets the younger him* You were so cute
[Wakes up and stretches]
[Looks really confused for a moment and then remembers where she is]
*Smiles* Hi Fabien.
[Smiles back] Good morning.
Would you like some food, Fabien?
A little bread would be lovely, thank you.
[Sits up and sets the blanket to the side]
*Will hand a big chunk to Fabien* There you go. How do you feel?
[Takes the bread with a nod of thanks]
I feel fine, I suppose.
[She had some nightmares, but they've been a lot worse]
*Will nod* Are you cold?
I'm alright, thanks. I have my cloak.
Oh! Kay! *Smiles*
*smiles at the compliment* Are you cold, my love?
*the younger Alastair wakes, then, stretching a bit against Adra* *he slept rather poorly, but at least he stayed asleep for a few hours* Good morning.
[Smiles back at Adra]
*She is a little chilly, but nothing unmanageable* *Will still hold the younger Alastair, glad that he slept a little*
Um.. Do we want to get breakfast?
*he will give her his coat if she'd like*
That may be a good idea.
*She does like, and will take the coat gratefully* *So comforting and heavy*
Alright, dove.. I can go get some, if you all would like? While you're all still waking up.
May I go with you, love?
Oh! Okay. *Smiles, and will slide out from the other Alastair* Want anything?
Perhaps a bit of bread.
*Nods, and will take her husband's hand, taking him into town with her* *His hand is soft*
*kisses her hand as they walk*
*He is very cute and sweet and she loves him* Do you remember when Alek was first born, and how he was so tiny?
Of course, my love. *he was so precious, and so fragile* What of it?
I was just remembering how sweet and small he was... So adorable. *Smiles* His hands
*kisses her hand* So very tiny...
*She smiles a bit, lopsidedly* His little black eyes were so cute and dark, and I could tell how special he was.. Because, you know, we made him. *Giggles* He was like a wrinkly little mouse
*smiles warmly, and kisses her head* He is very special, and very sweet. I don't think I had ever seen an actual human that small before...
*Smiles gently* Well, yes.. I remember he weighed a pound.. Cute little boy..
*he is so happy to have his family* Do you know how Cara has been lately?
She has been alright, duck.. I will bring her to see us soon.
[While Adra and Alastair are getting breakfast, Fabien retrieves her shovel from where she set it several feet away to avoid rolling over it in her sleep]
[She returns it back to her coat pocket]
*the younger will address her* Do you always carry a shovel with you?
*kisses her head* Thank you, my love.
*Will go into a little store and get some fried eggs on a little platter, and some bacon and bread* *Will take his hand to lead him back*
I always carry something that's made of metal and looks like it could serve some purpose besides being a weapon. It's not always a shovel though.
Are you sure that's all you'd like?
*Nods* Yes, my dove. *Will pay up front, and will pull him after her* *Loves him, and will take him back*
*he loves her, and will follow* So do you think we should do it like this again? Time travel to see what becomes of the body?
*Pauses* Um... I don't know. Perhaps we can time travel to the day after, and if it is gone, go back halfway between then, then try to wait it out.
*Will arrive back, and waves to Fabi, before sitting beside the younger*
[Waves]
Welcome back.
*Smiles* Want some breakfast? I have apples.
That sounds quite reasonable.
*the younger slides a little closer* How are you?
I'm okay- *She will kiss the younger one's cheek, then give him some food to nibble on* We weren't gone too long, were we?
[Smiles]
I'd love an apple. Thanks.
*Looks in, trying to decide if Fabien is a green or red fan* *Decides with both, and tosses both to Fabien* There!
[Fabien loves all apples]
Thank you! [She puts the red in her cloak for later, in the pocket the bread used to be in, not the pocket the shovel used to be in]
[She eats the green]
*Smiles* So, we have to go get number two soon.
Ok. Do we have a plan of any sort?
Ummm
This time we are going to start a little ahead in time and then just make our way from there.
*To her husband* Who is next?
*Pause* Justin Blue, right?
Yes, he's next. We'll be quite far outside of town, this time.
*Nods, and will take his hand, then Fabi's, then the younger* *Loves them*
[Smiles]
[Off to the next adventure]
((Oh by the way, I'm only one hour behind y'all now))
((:0 yay!! *Hug*))
*Assumes that they will shift in time again, and adjust accordingly to when Justin Blue's body is on the ground* *To Fabien* Justin Blue is the brother of Celine..
*they will shift in time again* This one may take longer to be found- we are rather in the middle of nowhere.
Oh.. *Nods* How can I help you?
I don't know what there is to do, really, except wait.
Oh... Alright.
...there's a lot of waiting, isn't there?
*sighs* It seems like it. *he is not very patient, by nature* *it's worth it, but still*
*Pause* Can I have a kissy?
[Fabien supposes that more waiting means more time to practice turning her shovel into a knife.]
[She sticks her hand into her cloak pocket rather than pulling the shovel out so it isn't obvious what she's doing]
[She focuses]
Of course. *kisses Adra lightly* *he's curious about what Fabien is doing*
*She is curious too, and will sit on the ground* there must be some way to make this go faster
*shrugs* I could time travel- I'm better at it than he is. *referring to the younger one*
*Thinks* I suppose, but isn't there a scrying glass, or some alchemy I can do?
*pauses* You know, there probably is. If we could find out the exact circumstances each body falls into, I can just go get the ones that are easy, and bring the rest of you if I need help. That would save a great deal of time...
*Nods* We can do that, duck. I like that idea.
Alright. So how does your scrying work?
Um... I get a scrying bowl, and place on the correct herbs that make this silvery solution.. And then I am supposed to look into the bowl, and use alchemy to either find someone, or see where they are.
*Pause*
But I can't see
*kisses her hand* I can see for you, my love.
*Nods* Okay... Is there a bowl that we can use, somewhere? Any kind of bowl will do.
I can fetch one for you. Is there anything else you'll need?
No, thank you. I have the herbs for it somewhere in my bag.. *Lifts her bag from her shoulders, and places it on the ground, beginning to pull out an assortment of herbs*
*nods, and then vanishes* *returns a few minutes later with a bowl*
[Wonders if maybe she could turn the shovel into a bowl]
[Probably not within a decent amount of time, since she's already made it partway into a knife]
((So apparently escalators for shopping carts are a thing? The people put their cart on the cart escalator and then go down the people escalator. O_O They do not have these at any of the Targets I have been to before. I actually don't think I've been to one with multiple stories either?))
((There are many of those in DC- but I know! So weird!)
*Takes the bowl, and gently will pour in the herbs, before taking out a liquid from the bag, and pours this silvery looking, almost molten--like substance from a bronze pot, and into the bowl* *Sets it down, and draws in the ground, an alchemical symbol* *She then places the bowl on it, and crosses her legs* Eyes, please.
*he'll let her see through his eyes, and sits beside her to look into the bowl*
*She does, and gently dips her fingers in* *Images begin to flash across the surface of the bowl, and she will watch carefully- it makes lots of sense to her* *the images are seemingly disparate, and don't connect, but she can manage*
*Gasps, and looks up, and wipes her forehead* In three days he is to be tossed into a mass grave..
ok... Okay, what else...
*She looks in again, slowly picking through each name, finding their fates- about 2/3 of them are buried in less than a week, the particulars of which she notes* *As she looks, her body begins to shake from exertion, and her hair begins to mat to her forehead, leaving her skin icy* *The names that are buried are predominantly the more tentative and meek ones- John, Antony, Wake- leaving the more powerful ones, such as Aretha, War, Silas, and a few others* *She manages to weed them into two categories- there are ten that are not buried, but the other 39 or so are buried beneath the ground*
*She is slowly bending closer to the bowl- like she is getting sucked in*
*Wave, nor wake
Oops
*rests a hand against her back* Adra, darling, stay with me...
*the younger watches carefully*
*Breathes out slowly, and closes her eyes* *She takes a very s l o w, s l o w b r e a th, and resurfaces from her reverie* *Her body is still shaking, but wipes her forehead with the back of her hand* I'm fine... Did you get all of that.
I did, yes. *slides his arm around her waist* Take energy from me if you need to, my love.
Can I do anything for you?
*Shakes her head* I'm alright, I'll just lay here for a moment. You need to save your energy so that you may travel. *Slides the small door from her pocket, and reaches for his hand, placing it in his palm* *Then takes a few stones from her bag, and slips them through the small door- they quickly shrink on the other side* Those will be there to regenerate you.
*To the younger* No, I'll be fine.
Alright. *kisses her forehead* Stay safe. We'll be back in a moment. *he gets up and steps to the younger one, then, setting a hand on his shoulder* 1347. *they disappear, then, the younger moving them back in time*
*then they'll reappear a few moments later, both rather tired* *the younger one speaks* We have most of them. But the last few, we'll need help with.
