Helm focused on a different time. This was a little strange. Travelling to the past was one thing, but travelling to the distant future world where the water ran yellow and everything was foul...that was an entirely different matter.

She closed her eyes and tried to work out the best route. When moving back to this time, she merely needed to focus on the world back home. So maybe if she focused on those images...and pushed them away. It was hard, they were powerful and she found herself not wanting to lose them. But all in all it needed to be done. She pushed them away to the back of her head, removing herself from thinking of home entirely.

When she opened her eyes, a swirling portal was standing in front of her. That had proven to be more easy than she was expecting. She reluctantly stepped into the portal, stopping for only a moment to enjoy the serenity of the world she knew, even if in this godforsaken place. The spiralling mass of purple colour that followed proved to be drab and uninteresting. There was no telling what lay on the other side...

Finally the spiralling stopped and she felt the clank of metal beneath her feet as she stumbled awkwardly into the grim future world. Other portals began to materialise beside her. She turned to look at them, making sure the others had all made it.

The floor beneath her feet was covered in rust. Below it was a large metal grate with a large basin beneath it. The basin was empty but there were signs of rust and discolouration on it that were a little unusual. She was standing in a standard sized room at first appearances, with an exit to the South and West. The room was set into the Southernmost part of the past version.

But the walls around her rose higher than any others she'd seen recently. On the Northern side, a fair distance up from the floor, the wall gave way into a platform, also the size of a standard room. It was far too high to reach from here though. The walls leading up to it were coated with rust.

Rita had other things on her mind. Firstly, the skeleton that was sat in the middle of the floor. Secondly, the creepy poem written in faded chalk. It read:

"Dear Pretty Rita,
Empress of my universe,
Would you please be mine?"

"66 *"

Oh thank the gods I'm alive!

I was so worried that the game had gone on without me and I just hadn't been updated to it.

I'm so happy you have no idea.

...

that poem is strange who was in here in the past?

At phase 66 even!

wait no we're in the future.

It's so obvious and yet I still make these connections haha.

Did one of us write this note then?

It sounds like Urk.

Maria!!
*hugs maria*

I'm so glad to see you.

I- thought I was dead for a while there.

*hugs Helm*

I was worried that we were all dead when I didn't see anything here! I'm so glad nothing bad happened.

I knew you'd make it Helm! Willis making you wait 24 hours to find out your fate...cruel, just cruel.

And awwww, Urk! ^_^

I wonder who that skeleton is. If only Frederick was with us, I could talk to it.

I think it's the General.

It was Quite hectic to say the least.

And I wasn't as sure as you were... to be sure.

Maria @ 9/6/2013 21:27

I think it's the General.

Oh yeahhh... duh.

Maria @ 9/6/2013 22:27

I think it's the General.

Yeah it's most likely the general since we're in the same room As the general.

Boone can check it just in case though right?

Maria @ 9/6/2013 22:27 I think it's the General. Yeah it's most likely the general since we're in the same room As the general. Boone can check it just in case though right?

He'd need Frederick too.

It has to be the General though. I forgot he was in here.

I thought Boone's power was he could identify bones.

Helm @ 9/6/2013 21:48

I thought Boone's power was he could identify bones.

I think Boone already revealed this so I don't think I'm saying anything I'm not supposed to here... >_>

He's a forensic investigator. He places bananas on people and sees how they died.
