oh hell, why not?

[fromtheburrow]

[So far Ron had been trying to keep as much of a low profile as he could. After all, he really wasn't sure where he was or why exactly he was there...

But he did pause to stare at the guy drawing a circle in the air, brow knitting as he brought a hand up to pull back through his hair.

At least he could safely say that from what he'd seen all the people in this city were completely mad.]

Best answer

[ofkairos]

[Circle circle--

...alskndlkas wait a second where is the color-coded change? Where is the hole in time? What is going on?]

It's not working...?

[He pauses, scratching at the back of his head for a moment. Wat do wat do--]

[fromtheburrow]

[Okay, okay. He'll approach, just for a moment though!]

...if you're trying to draw an invisible circle I'd say it's a job well done.

[ofkairos]

[aklnslds he jumps slightly, blinking.]

...That wasn't what I was trying to do.

[U-um gosh what now.

It's not working at all...

He just stands there stupidly for a moment before--]

Hey, I don't think I've seen you around before. Are you from Kako?

[fromtheburrow]

Ottery St. Catchpole, I'm new around here.

[There came the corrected answer, more of a thoughtful forming of words than an actual sentence. Which may or may not register as a proper answer. Really he was more interested in what the other was trying to do.]

So what were you really trying to do, then?

[ofkairos]

Er well. He looks uncertain.]

I've never heard of it. How'd you get all the way over...

...

Where is here?

[Sorry, Ron, he has no intentions of answering that question to a complete stranger. Ethan diversion tactics go!]

[fromtheburrow]

[BUT HE WANTS THE ANSWER. HE COULD HELP. HE'S A MAGIC GENIUS AT LEAST AS FAR AS YOU KNOW. But really, he just pauses for a moment, trying to recall the name that had been given to him.]

Vath...

Vatheon or something like that.

I think that's what it's called, anyway.

You didn't answer the other question.

[ofkairos]

[Ethan diversion tactics: Absolute failure!

Awkwardly--]

I was...trying to fix things?

[fromtheburrow]

[Total failure! Only because Ron is really hoping that you're not a total nutter like everyone else.]

What're you trying to fix? I might be able to help.

[He's sure, at least, that you're doing it all wrong Ethan. You can't fix things with just your finger, you have to use your wand!]

[ofkairos]

[..........sigh.

And somewhat weakly--]

...Time...?

Something must have been changed if we've ended up here. There's gotta be a way to fix it so that we go back.

[fromtheburrow]

...time?

[You're getting the look again, Ethan, that look that asks nothing more than whether you're a complete nutter or not. EXPLAIN YOURSELF!]

[ofkairos]

Because we shouldn't be here. So something went wrong--

[...sigh.]

I don't know why I'm telling you, though.

[Everyone always just acts like it's normal when it happens. ;;]

[fromtheburrow]

Because I'm asking, obviously.

So if we're not supposed to be here, where are we suppose to be?

[Oh god, you're scaring him a little. DON'T TELL HIM HE'S ACTUALLY DEAD, ETHAN.]

[ofkairos]

[...........chill out, dude.]

Back in our own times, of course. I mean, the proper ones.

[...]

You're going to think I'm crazy.

[fromtheburrow]

[He furrows his brow a little more before bringing a hand up to settle on the back of his neck.]

Try me. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff I've seen, mate.
