Hey Look an Intro!


Many years back, before the Spektral Academy was build, the land it occupied had a much simpler existence. The land spent most of it's time being host to a smattering of insects, reptiles, mammals, as well as a lovely variety of plants and trees. So you can imagine how surprised it was when two of it's future occupants ruptured time and space and crashed into the small knoll that would later be there office.

To introduce you character into the the side story simply drag and drop them to the matching indigo mass where Seth and Warren left off in the main story. YOu are using your current characters, not past ones.

Intro of Indigo Mass and the Twins:
Warren's landing was broken by soft moss, Seth's was broken by Warren. The rift they had come through could be seen as a dense indigo haze about the size of a basketball. It crackled every so often just to make sure whoever was around was making note of it.

((The haze is the entrance to the side story. It has a name, Guess it before Warren reveals it and win a December 09 MC.))

((During this time you are al welcome to exploring the environment . I will be acting as Story Guide.

"I think I may have over did it that time. Would you get off of me?"
The two of them right themselves before examining their surroundings.
"We're at Spektral, or at least where it should be-"
"Yes but we aren't 'When' it should be," Warren said checking his watch, "We're 5 years early for the school to have been built yet."
"Well take us to the right time then!"
"I can't, Since I didn't use a Symbol this time I can reverse the sift. I know it seems strange but it's going to take some time before I can get us back."
"In the mean time we can figure out what this thing is." Seth said pointing at the hazy point in existence
"That would be the other half of the screw up. If I had done it right that would have been our instant access to the old time-line, now I'm not even sure if it does anything."
((I will not be posting again until after 3pm PST. Assuming that the Twins are arguing about the fact that staying here shouldn't make since. Carry on.))

Just then, Masterson fell through the indigo mass. He screamed loudly as he fell flat on his face, on the ground into a pile of mud. Luckily, he didn't land on any of the branches.

"Will someone (mumble) tell me what (mumble) happen-(mumble)?" he asked. although much of his words were muffled as he was still face flat in the pit of mud.

An undignified screech split the air a few moments later as a winged human female with red hair tumbled gracelessly out of a conveniently-placed indigo mass. She hit the ground with a thud that couldn't quite be described as painful, though she was too disoriented to figure out why--a side-effect to the breath being promptly knocked out of her lungs.

Masterson struggled to get to his feet. He was still wearing ice skates and they weren't effective in balancing on solid ground.

He got his face out of the mud, speaking loudly

"Can I get some help here?"

Then he heard a sound that sounded like an eagle that had been shot, then a loud thud, finally an expelling of air, all within the span of three seconds.

Masterson realized that it was Secret. He wanted to run over to her to help her out, but the skates and the swallowing pit of mud made this useless, not to mention impossible.

Secret gasped in some air, emmiting a slight whine when she finally got the chance. "Wh-what the...?" she asked, pushing herself up, which caused some squishy stuff to squeeze through her fingers with a slight squelching sound and an accompanying squelchy feeling.

Ok, this wasn't right...For one thing, Micky didn't remember jumping or falling or anything of the sort. So...why was she freefalling? To the ground? In the middle of the woods?

"Dude!" She looked up, saw what looked like a big indigo splotch of...something. She didn't remember a big splotch of indigo when she'd been cruising with Cameron in the middle of the Pacific. But that wasn't really the concern right now.

Looking down, she saw the ground-looking way too hard for comfort-quickly approaching, and instead of breaking her legs, she formed a mass pile of clones and fell on some nice soft flesh instead, which disappeared as soon as she was on her feet again.

"Woah..." She shook her head, blinked, then looked around. There was Secret, on the ground, in the mud. And there was Masterson...in ice skates...looking really funny while attempting to get out of the mud. And she was stepping in it too...Ok...

Shaking her head, she decided to just go with it, and brought her clones back. She'd be damned if she was going to get stuck in the mud. With a few grumbles, her clones got onto their stomachs, acted as a bridge over the mud. They couldn't feel anything, so it was fine...

Careful not to fall, Micky strode across the clones, walked over to Masterson first, since he was closer, and offered a hand. No matter that, moments before, she'd been on a shipment run, looking forward to pulling in a large profit. She'd been busy making her way steadily through a bottle of liquor Cameron had had on the boat, enjoying the sun and the water and the company. But now she was in the woods...in the mud.

((I wasn't really in the previous storyline before... so i figure i'd get involved here and maybe accidentally follow everyone back? I dunno...))

Foxx sat high in a tree not too far away, playing with the water in her hair. She felt the hair on the back of her neck rise as the purple haze connected the times, and the first few people passed through. Curious, she turned in the direction disturbance, as she tried to make up her mind as to whether to find out what it was or not.

With a shrug she jumped from her perch and walked the short distance toward where she'd felt the disturbance. She kept back a little ways and just watched.

((I hope this is ok...))

The Twins had paused for a moment realizing that they were not alone. The looked over in time to see Micky form Spectral trend on her own doubles as she helped Masterson out of the mud.
"Guess we know what the Purple thing is."
"I'd say it's more Blue."

Warren made a lifting motion and the mud loosened, "I don't think those skates will be of much help here HM."

((Foxx, you're welcome to join in and you intro was fine.))
((On a side note, if you would like to guess the name of the rift feel free to do so both in and out of character. If in chacter please underline you guess. For instance smile )

Seth scanned area for others from the school, then looked to the crackling cloud, "So is this some kind of one way Time Door or something?"

((Thanks Silv ^-^ and Oooo... that sounds like fun))

Foxx glanced at the purple haze they all seemed to have come from. She hadn't been in this place long, but it obviously wasn't something that was meant to be there. Though it looked oddly like the "Darkness Doors" one of her friends and bodyguards could open up. though his was a solidly formed black circle or oval in space. Not this shapeless haze. It reminded her more of the thing her family called the Middle-man's Threshold Though she couldn't be sure.

Stories told it was a strange mist that could travel through anything and everything. It was supposedly a mythical thing that transcended all things imaginable. Though nothing she'd heard or read said it was purple. Or had any color at all.

Warren followed Seth's gaze then grinned, "Throw me at it and lets find auugh!" his thought wasn't as fast as Seth's throw apparently. Warren hit the haze and was gone.
"Well?"
"Not a Time Door, When I touched it I evaporated."
"So it's just a ball of hate?"
"I'm not sure, but it's eating the air around it, nothing alarming but a bit strange to say the least. I'm still not certain if, when or where it goes."

Foxx shifted to get a better look at what was going on. She couldn't quite see all of the small area through the trees, so maybe if she moved behind that bush over there...

She took one step and stopped suddenly as a twig snapped under her foot. Immediately, she moved carefully but quickly back behind the nearest tree. She quietly jumped reaching for the branch above her, hidden behind it's thick trunk. She winced at each small noise the chain around her waist made as she moved. She quickly settled herself in the tree's branches, curling small as she curled into a small hallow in the tree's branches. She waited, wondering if the small noises she'd made would be noticed.

Secret blinked, looking over to a tree where she could have sworn she'd heard rustling and the snap of a twig. "...Someone else there?" she asked, pushing herself up and then making a face at the mud that had caked itself all over her.

"Yeah, right here, kid. Hold on a sec." Micky said impatiently, glaring down at the ice skates on Masterson's feet. "Ya gotta ditch the skates, Headmaster." She said, raising a brow.

She'd been busy making her way steadily through a bottle of liquor Cameron had had on the boat, enjoying the sun and the water and the company. But now she was in the woods...in the mud.


The next moment, Masterson heard what sounded like two more people joining them. The nearby voice was Mick, he took her hand and she helped him to his feet.

"Thanks Mitsuki." said Masterson.

When told that he'd have to ditch the skates, Masterson sat down on a dry patch of ground, and ripped off the blades of the skates. It was hard to do for him, not just because they were fastened greatly to the boot part of the skate, but especially since they were a good pair of skates and he kept them in great condition by not using them much. His face was still smeared with mud, as was the rest of him. It was starting to dry in a few areas on him, but that wasn't helping much.

He was happy to see them all. There wasn't a finer group of people in fact, to spend in a strange land, especially since he felt out of place here, and yet at home at the same time. Weird.

"So Seth, Warren, you're saying you just opened a wormhole and that indigo colored fog took us all back in time?" he said.

((Thank you all for joining in btw. ^^))
