Evan


Evan’s eyes widened when he realized that he had been talking to a duplicate Kat and he smacked his forehead in annoyance.

“As if things weren’t weird enough…” ><

He sighed and looked around the room, as if expecting Nav-E, Zach, and Tom to unexpectedly fall right through the ceiling. He got up from the floor, went into the kitchen, and returned peeling an orange before sitting down again. He then levitated the orange segments and starting juggling them in midair.

“Eh, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to make things weirder than they already are.”

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan growled at Dylan for ignoring him, but then noticed there were TWO Kats for a brief time.
"What the? One was bad enough." he said shortly before the duplicate disappeared. He turned to Evan, only to see him Juggling oranges with his mind.
"So your power is TK, eh? What's the limit on it?" he asked.

[TheTimeSweeper]

Evan

“Anything that weighs more than I do I cannot move around easily,” replied Evan as he kept the orange segments going around in circles. “Nav-E, on the other hand, can move heavier objects, but only because he weighs slightly more than I do. Our limits are governed by our weights.”

Evan smirked as he chomped on a segment in midair while he kept the others moving around.

“I’m actually surprised that you didn’t know I had this kind of power. You must not have been very observant when Nav-E used his telekinesis to steal my watch from me earlier today. What, with us being identical twins and all. Either that, or you were in a different room at the time.”

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan shrugged.
"Yeah, I was probably just spacing out, I sometimes tend to do stuff like that. So, you ever use it for more, risque purposes?" he asked, cocking an eyebrow.

[TheTimeSweeper]

Evan

“What…?”

Evan’s concentration broke for a split second and the segments stopped in midair before he resumed juggling them. He didn’t think he heard Dan correctly. Did the guy just ask if he used his telekinetic powers for risqué purposes?

“What do you mean?”

[TrickyLA]

Leyla

"You're bag.......well where is it....."

She looked around for it, but couldn't find it. Come to think of it...

"...how did you get here Kat?"

She was really confused, but not exactly complaining. Afterall, her best cow was sitting right next to her. She thought she'd never see her again.

"Tom is a robot? HUH?"

She desperately wanted to rub her temples, but found it was still impossible.

"No....no advil...you know I don't take those unless..."

She spied around the room, deciding to be quiet for that one.

"...anyway....."

Where is Lilly?

Kat

"Erhm... I seem to be 'erhm-ing' a lot.."
She looked about her, smiling at Leyla's response to the advil.

"I really don't know how I got here... or where my bag is... Or anything really... and I said, I didn't know if it was Tom or Peter, I really couldn't tell.."

"ehh..." confusion.

[TrickyLA]

Leyla

Leyla was really confused by Kat's response, her head still pounding.

"You don't...? Huh....that's weird....you think....uhm.....I....?"

Maybe...I did it......but how? I mean......making things appear is one thing...its another to just bring my friend here. What exactly have I become?

Shaking her head slightly, Leyla groaned a little bit. Her throat still stung a bit, and she could barely remember why.

"You couldn't tell the difference? Huh....well where was your bag before....?"

[tomaszavenger]

"There's absolutely NOTHING here... NOTHING! I've checked every part of this corridor, I've scanned all sorts of things, even got copies, took some mass... there's NOTHING!" Tom said worriedly, pacing up and down the corridor as he tended to do when in deep thought.

"Cameras? CAMERAS! Bots, allow me to access your cameras!" Tom ordered the invisible things. One took of its clothing.

"No can do... this is for exclusive use for RTV3 only!" it said mechanically.

"GREAT! AND YOU WON'T HELP US FIND OUT WHO HURT AN INNOCENT GIRL? YOU ARE A ROBOT!" he shouted at it, but the robot remained stationary mid-air.

"That is correct..." the robot said ignorantly. Tom glared at the thing, which slowly retreated into a photon cloaking shield.

[TheTimeSweeper]

Nav-E

“Well, this is just great… >< No clues to go upon and the damn robots won’t help us.”

Nav-E scanned the corridor again for anything that Tom might have missed; the floors, the ceiling, even the walls in case they had any depressions in them that might indicate a secret passage of some sort. Nothing whatsoever.

“Damn… So, what are our other options if we have any, Tom?”

-Dan-

Dan shrugged laughing a little. "Nothing I just figured I'd say something like that to break your concentration in hopes of you dropping the fruits."

[tomaszavenger]

"No... I have failed... I have failed..." Tom repeated, disappointed he could find nothing of any significance. He sat down on the floor and tried to calm himself, thinking about all the possible options. But there were none in his mind... maybe he missed something obvious, maybe it was staring right at him in the face.

"Maybe... it was a glitch on one of the robots!" exclaimed Tom as the idea popped into his head. He paced up and down the corridor again.

"But how do we find out which one?" he wondered.

[TheTimeSweeper]

Evan

Evan chuckled before sending an orange segment at Dan’s head while keeping the rest still moving in circles.

“Granted, that did catch me off-guard, but you’ll have to do better than that.”

Evan was kinda hoping that this would turn into a little contest to see if Dan could break his concentration. Nothing like a mini-challenge to help pass the time.


Nav-E

“I’m not exactly sure… Maybe you could use reverse psychology on it. Wait, can you even use reverse psychology on a robot? Maybe they would end up using it on you instead. Well, however we do it, are you going to be able to hack into its databanks and download its memory or something if necessary?”

Nav-E started pacing as well. Like Evan, he did his best thinking while pacing.

“Are you absolutely sure you went over all the possibilities? Paranormal activity, invisibility, magic-based activity, miniaturization? For all we know, whoever did this to Leyla could be running around the house the size of a raisin or something right now. Or maybe we’re dealing with a changeling; turned him or herself into a spider or a fly or some other insect to spy on us."

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan laughed and got a really evil idea.
"You shouldn't have said that, I mean, REALLY shouldn't have said that, I go to the extreme almost immediately." he said just before he punched Evan in the nuts.

Leyla
Shaking her head slightly, Leyla groaned a little bit. Her throat still stung a bit, and she could barely remember why.

"You couldn't tell the difference? Huh....well where was your bag before....?"

Kat

"Well... my bag was on the floor of my bedroom, and I was just getting out of the shower. Then I was here, and you were like 'ded x.X' and I was scared..."

Kat sighed, her wings fluttering with annoyance.

"And WHY DO THESE WINGS KEEP MOVING?!"
She sniffled.

"Can I go home now..?"

[TrickyLA]

Leyla

Leyla scrunched up her face in confusion. It was true though, the wings DID move.

What the heck....?

Sighing, Leyla turned her eyes fully on Kat. She was still a litle hazy to her, but she could see well enough.

"So.....you were brought here against your will too....."

The possibility that she could have brought her here was getting bigger and bigger. Leyla frowned, guilt starting to spread.

"I don't know.....I'm sorry Kat...I think I...."

She couldn't finish. As much as she had wanted her friend here, how could she have ruined her life like this.

And now...she might never be able to go home.....

She shuddered once, a small sob breaking out. SHE couldn't go home either.

".....we can't go home.......ever...."

[Kat]

Kat

Kat stared silently at Leyla.

"I can't...? I... Well.." she considered this for a moment, turning the thought over in her head.

I guess it's not all bad... No school.. No failing.. No shrink, no medication..

"Well.." she hugged Leyla, rubbing her back to calm her crying, "I guess this beats what happens back home..."

I'll miss it though... Just not all of it.

[TrickyLA]

Leyla

Leyla sniffled once, calming down. Everything seemed so out of control lately.

"S-so....you're okay with it...? I mean...if you wanted to....I could try to...."

send you home....

She didn't want her friend to leave, but if she could still have a future at home...

Who am I to keep her from that?

Everything was just so confusing here, and she was just crying. She didn't want to seem so weak like this, but she couldn't help it.

I didn't ask for it....but I have to live with it. Kat didn't either...and I got her into it.....its not fair to her....

Things were really just swirling around in her head, and she had absolutely no control over it anymore.

Kat

Kat sighed and hugged her friend tighter, rocking her back and forth gently.

"Shh, Ley, it's all right... We're fine, it's okay..."
She smiled.

"At least here there's no Spanish to study for..."

[tomaszavenger]

"Supernatural... I don't think so... we've been pretty far from paranormal activities anywhere in the past... why in the future? Hang on... we got some demons... maybe the supernatural did come here. Maybe somebody screwed with time, and that is the reason this is occuring!" Tom said, he quickly scanned around in case he had missed something.

"Nav-E... I believe you are correct! But reverse psychology shoulon't work on a robot... it's programmed to act in a specific way. Unless of course, there is some trick or loophole." Tom said, and a devious grin came from him.

[charli]

-Eric-

The girls were in tears. Well, one of them anyway. Sara was still asleep, but Kat seemed to be on the verge of crying. "Actually," Eric began. "We might be able to get home. Evan and Nav-E are working on something with their DeLoreans or whatever, and I might be able to find a spell. So... cheer up, I guess..."

(Dang school comps! I posted something along these lines this morning, but the comps didn't register it. D:<)

[echoes]

-Dan-

Hearing Eric mention the whole time dilemma made Dan pipe up.
"Well, failing those two, I can just MAKE a kriffing time machine myself you know, won't be that hard, I'd just have to get the specs." he said shrugging.

[charli]

-Eric-

Eric rolled his eyes at Dan. "And where are you going to find the specs? The internet? Time travel is serious stuff that the government has regulated through law. I don't think random blueprints are going to be floating around the net."

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan laughed at Eric's simplistic mind.
"True, but I could get into wherever they store the time machines, and get the specs just by letting my nanites run through them." he said. "And no, getting in WON'T be a problem, I'm practically invincible." he said smiling.

[charli]

~Sara~

Her jackass senses were tingling. Dan and Eric were fighting again. Sara's eyes fluttered open just in time to see Eric shrug dismissively at something Dan had said. "Fine. Get yourself arrested for stealing confidential information. See if I care."

"No one's getting arrested," Sara ordered, her voice slightly rough with sleep. Groaning, she sat up a bit against the couch. "How long was I out?"

(600th post!)

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan whirled to see that Sara was awake.
He was instantly next to her. "Ummm, just a few minutes. And you're right, no one WILL get arrested because I can't be contained." he said smiling.
"I'm glad to see you're okay."

[charli]

-Eric-

Eric didn't want to crowd Sara, but he had to check her out. "Are you sure you're alright?" he asked, kneeling in front of her. "You don't have any of that evil tucked away somewhere in your mind, do you?"

"I don't think so," she answered, closing her eyes as he touched her temples and sent a few waves of purity through her mind. And then her eyes flew open. "Oh, my God!"

"What is it?" Was she seeing the visions again?

"You just got rid of my never-ending headache!" she said wonderingly. "That thing's been bugging me for three months."

XD

[Yetisarge]

"Like I said Sara.. its all in your head." Aaron said chuckling at the somewhat ironic joke really.

"Hmm well I'm glad to see that my idea is one of the top two. I'm surprised it went over so well." Zerb said

[TheTimeSweeper]

Evan

Evan’s eyes suddenly bulged out and he doubled over in pain, the orange segments immediately dropping to the floor. Bright dots of light exploded in front of his eyes and he blacked out momentarily.

“Holy…shit…” he gasped, as his breathing got a little shallow. “I…was…not…expecting…that…”

Evan then glared at Dan, eyes bright red with anger, as he quickly walked over to Sara who had just awakened.

“That…was…a…really…cheap…shot…” he muttered. “Just…be glad…that I’m …not Nav-E, or…else you…would be…pinned against…the wall…right now… ”


Nav-E

Nav-E blinked.

“I am…? Uh, I mean, of course I am. So, what is this trick or loophole that you have in mind?”

He was interested in whatever meaning there might be behind Tom’s devious grin, but he was also a little apprehensive as to what he might have in store for the robots.

“Uh, this isn’t going to involve anything that would get us kicked out of the house too early, right?” 0.0

[TrickyLA]

Leyla

Leyla made a move to comment on the Spanish, but pauses when she was suddenly surrounded by people again. She turned her head towards Sara, realizing that she had woken up.

Good......I'm glad she's okay....

It seemed that Sara was extremely popular at the moment, and Leyla squirmed a bit. Too many people crowding Sara wasn't doing much for her still shaky vision. Gulping back another headache, the brunette smiled a bit.

Still, its good she has people caring about her. It is getting crowded though.....maybe....some space....

"Kat...loud...."

Her throat still hurt though, she thought she might need to drink something. If only she could remember why she felt like there was something in her throat. She remembered panic, Sara, and Kat. She merely smiled lightly, figuring it would come back to her eventually.
