[lalala, Wilbur had just been on his merry way, when--

was that--]

Lewis?

[futureinventor]

Wilbur? [Okay, that was very unexpected.]

What are you doing here? Don't tell me you lost a time machine again. [But...that's didn't explain how he got here.]

[notatimecop]

I didn't lose the time machine!

2/3

[notatimecop]

...Okay, maybe I did.

[sophistly]

[Hope you're ready to be creeped on. Because well. There's a creeper peering over your shoulder, Lewis.]

Unfortunate, isn't it, when things that should not happen do nonetheless? Rather naughty of them.

[futureinventor]

[Good thing creepy guys don't creep him out too much.

He still jumped, though, spinning around to face the man.]

Well, yeah. But if things always went like we planned, we wouldn't learn anything, right? [A pause.] So, uh... Where am I? [He's still trying to figure that out. Was it possible that he totally accidentally invented some sort of transporting device?]

[sophistly]

Do you think so?

[He simply spreads his arms wide in a questioning gesture, long floppy sleeves covering his hands.]

It is a rather narrow mindset, that we might only learn from mistakes, and not from successes as well.

[Smiiiiile.]

You are currently right there, sir! Surely that was clear~

[futureinventor]

Well, yeah! I mean, of course we learn from getting things right! I just think sometimes it takes getting things wrong to learn, too. [Rubs the back of his head. He had just recently learned all about that.

Aaand. Just...blinking at you, Break.]

Uh, I kind of knew that much already. I was talking about this place. It's not my lab.

[vampirize]

[Here, have a Nikola Tesla, inventor extraordinare who is also a vampire but who even knows that just walking through the plaza when he notices Lewis and pauses.]

...New here?

[futureinventor]

[A fellow inventor! Lewis turns at the voice, tilting his head.]

...New here? Uh, I..guess so? I'm not exactly sure where here is, though. [This was no place he had ever seen before.]

[vampirize]

Vatheon. It's a city underneath the ocean. Kind of like Atlantis but not really.

Oh, and you're also stuck here forever. There's no way out.

[futureinventor]

[His eyes widen, at first with amazement.]

Like...Atlantis? Seriously!? [Okay, now that was pretty cool, but then--]

Wait, I can't leave?
