[...... well. She was just standing around when she caught sight of that. And so she mimics it.

brb drawing a heart in the air before giggling]

Expecting something to happen?

[yes she's just drawing shapes now]

[ofkairos]

[...!

...why are you drawing hearts, lady?

But either way, he realizes quite suddenly that the pen isn't working.]

O-oh, um.

...Either way, it doesn't seem like it's going to work.

[sweeperesque]

That's too bad! What was supposed to happen?

[ofkairos]

[!!

...he can't tell a random stranger.]

Hopefully it'd fix everything.

[But it's just a mutter, and then he continues more loudly.]

Well...where are we? This doesn't look like Kako...

Derps need to talk to other derps. Obviously.

[andyellow]

[So, Hilbert, ~*~THE NEWEST AND GREATEST OF ALL VATHEON GREETERS~*~ is approaching to give you the entire spiel about this place.

But... what is he doing?] Wow, did we get a magician or something?

Obviously. B) This is the recipe for something beautiful

[ofkairos]

[......w-wait what--]

Are you talking to me...?

[...why are you talking at all, for that matter, you should be frozen in time-- aw nuts.]

It's not working...

Re: Obviously. B) This is the recipe for something beautiful

[andyellow]

[Blinkblink.]

Crap, did I miss it or something? [LOOKS AROUND. WHAT IS IT, WHAT IS IT? A white dove?!]

[ofkairos]

[He's just...staring.]

Um...miss what?

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?

[heroistics]

[Staaaaaaaare]

Um... what are you doing?

[ofkairos]

[!!

He pauses, turning to blink at the other.

And then turns back to the circle he'd been trying to draw (nothing is there).

And then--]

...Must've gotten it wrong.

Um. Has anything weird happened lately?

[heroistics]

Y-Yeah, I guess. But weird things happen here a lot, so...

[ofkairos]

[Oh...it's kind of hard to ask like that, huh? Renton wouldn't remember because it would be a parallel timeline--

wait a second.]

I don't know you.

[Duh, Ethan.]

[swordsofchange]

[... That's cute, kid. Are you practicing for a play or something? :D]

What are you doing?

[ofkairos]

[...sob what even is going on here.

He is startled, and he turns, blinking. The only people who can move through time are--

...wait a second.]

You can move?

[...wait wait wait hold on--]

This isn't right.

[swordsofchange]

[. . .]

... Of course I can move. What are you talking about?

[ofkairos]

[um. He shuffles uncertainly for a moment.]

Nevermind. It's not that important.

...Where are we?
