A Testing Journal [action]

[soldierofhalla]

[Bobby realized several things at once and none of them were good. 1. He was no longer in the Taj Mahal, he knew he hadn't left it or anything yet, after all he'd only just finished writing his last journal...ever. Press was supposed to come to collect him soon to say goodbyes, so he had no desire to leave. But, here he was

[Lucky you, Bobby. Alder had been in Splendor just a few days longer. He was still trying to figure out what was going on, because really, this place was unlike any other territory he had been too. Everyone claimed to be from other places, which didn't make any sense. He asked if they were Travelers, but he only got weird looks in response

[soldierofhalla]

[Bobby heard footsteps and turned. He wasn't sure who he was expecting to see, probably a stranger, but the person he saw was no stranger. It was a face he recognized and was glad to see. Because no matter how weird things got, if he was with any Traveler he felt instantly more capable.

Bobby broke into a grin, he had thought he'd seen his friend for the last time, but apparently not. What if this was some kind of Solara thing after all.]

Alder! It's good to see you.

[travelerknight]

[Bobby's grin was nothing compared to the one that came to Alder's face.]

I am glad to see you, too. I was beginning to think I was alone here! This is a very strange territory, Pendragon. [He was rather relieved to see Bobby, not only because he was a close friend, but because Bobby was the Lead Traveler. He always knew what to do. He always had a plan, and right now, Alder had nothing.]

[soldierofhalla]

[Bobby looked surprised for a moment]

How long have you been here Alder? What is this place?

[He understood that time worked differently between worlds sometimes but from the way Alder was speaking he'd had enough time to actually explore this place...meaning he'd been here more than just a few minutes.]

shh you didn't see that

[buysniggers]

[...Well, this was a bit of trouble that he got himself into.

Spader scratches his head a little bit as he wanders around the area, looking very much like he was lost.

But then he sees a familiar figure, and he grins.]

Hobey, Pendragon! What kind of tum-tigger did we get into this time?

[Now he hadn't remembered being transported completely to another place before...not without his permission, anyway.]

[soldierofhalla]

[Bobby turned. He recognized that voice because there was no one else that spoke like that.

Despite the strangeness of the situation, despite not knowing anything, he was glad to have someone he could rely on. He trusted all of the Travelers, but Spader was probably the Traveler he would consider his best friend.]

Spader. I have no idea but it's a relief to see you, buddy.

♥♥♥♥

[buysniggers]

Same here. Didn't really expect to be dragged into a place like this.

[He raises an eyebrow questioningly at Bobby.] ...Have any idea where we are?

[soldierofhalla]

Unfortunately, no. I just got here myself. This doesn't look like any of the places I've been to either. [He paused, thinking back to the moment before he arrived.] There was this weird music box though. It seemed a little out of place in the Taj Mahal.

[Mark blinked in confusion as he took in the Golden Archway himself, pushing his glasses up gently.]

W-What...? [He frowns, shifting on his feet, completely unsure. Was he...on another territory? But he hadn't even been near a flume! Besides, he promised not to use the flumes again, after what happened with Eelong.

He sighed, biting his lower lip, his gaze flickering across the area. It was then that he spotted a figure, and not just any figure. He recognized it almost immediately. It was Bobby.]

Bobby!?

/loves

[soldierofhalla]

[Bobby had come back to the Golden Archway, determined to find out more. There had to be some hint or clue here as to why he was here. More importantly, how it was possible to pull three travelers from various times in their OWN timeline without being near flumes or against their will.

He found nothing. Except Mark. Bobby froze, actually unsure for a minute if it was him.]

Mark?

[After all, the last time he'd seen Mark the guy was considerably more buff. This was...old Mark. Which meant more time line shenanigans...great.]

I can't believe you were brought here too. [He almost felt like crying. From the point of time he'd left he'd never really thought he'd see Mark again...at least...not in a way that the two could hang out like before. Instead he smiles.] It's good to see you buddy.

>///<

[eats_carrots]

[Needless to say, coming face to face with his best friend brought a grin to Mark's face. It had been a while, after all. But there was something different about him. He noticed it right off the bat - Bobby looked older. Of course, he expected that between visits from Bobby. He aged while he was gone. But he looked a lot older than he would have expected.]

It's great to see you too! Just, what's going on? Too? [He had about a million questions, but was holding them in. Hopefully Bobby would know what was going on...]

[soldierofhalla]

It's hard to explain since I don't get it all myself. I ran into Alder and Spader though...not that they know much either. [He realized he was probably getting ahead of himself]

I have a serious and strange question for you Mark. What's the last thing that happened to you before you got here? It's important before I really start breaking your brain trying to explain all of this.
