"No, paranoid is fine. But what…" She trailed off as Sammi entered the room, mug in hand.
"So. What is it that you need exactly?"
"No, paranoid is fine. But what…" She trailed off as Sammi entered the room, mug in hand.
"So. What is it that you need exactly?"
"You don't have to believe me." Naomi mumbled, barely higher than a whisper.
Ferran cleared his throat. "Uh…we need you to…" He glanced at Alice. "To move time forward. To the end of the story."
"So you guys finally noticed, huh?"
Alice was astounded. "You knew? You knew that this is all a story?"
He snorted. "Of course I did. You didn't?"
Alice gritted her teeth. "Are you going to help us or not?"
"Why should I?"
(I'm not following this.)
(What are you confused about?)
(They're saying this is a story but I can't really understand what they're even discussing.)
(The plot of the story is that they are all comic book characters, and then they have to escape because the comic is going to stop being published, and they think they with die if that happens. Does that clear it up?)
(Oh, okay.)
(Can someone else say something? I'm afraid that I'm starting to take over.)
(Its fine if you take over, but I can do it if you want.)
(Okay, well wait a second then.)
"The publisher is going to stop publishing the comics."
Sammi paled. "What happens then?"
"I don't know." Alice replied. "But we have to get out either way. Are you with us or no?"
He hesitated, then sighed. "What do you want me to do?" Alice glanced at Ferran. What exactly was the plan? (There's your cue!)
(Okay before I start on my long winded explanation/plan, I have an idea. What if Sammi can move others forward in time, but not himself? That would explain why he's never tried this before. Also, maybe he could have premonitions, so he knows what's gonna happen but he doesn't tell them. Idk, though, thought it would raise the stakes…)
"I don't really care whether I live or die." Naomi mumbled.
(Well if he couldn't time travel, how does he know he has powers? Does he just accidentally make other people time travel all the time?)
(Oh, right. Like I said, he could have premonitions and went to see someone and discovered he had powers, ya know?
Its up to you.)
(I think I'll go with the premonition thing, but maybe the more people that travel with him, the less far he can go? Or maybe he can only travel to the past, and they escape by going though the beginning?)
(Sounds solid! I'll take it.)
Ferran sat up straighter. "Well, we need to get out of this story asap. So we were thinking we could go through the end."
(Are you playing Sammi for this?)
(Yeah. Which one? The one where he can't travel to the future or the other one?)
(i think maybe traveling to the past would work. Also, we could make it just Sammi, Ferran, and Alice that go. Maybe the others don't believe them?)
(I don't want them to be excluded, but we can figure it out when the time comes. Okay.)
"Is this right here right now not considered the end of the story? How do we know there's an end?" Sammi asked. Alice glanced at Ferran. It was a valid point.
"Wait!" Nathan yelled. "We should find a villain or something! We need to give good story material!"
"… good story material? What do you mean?" asked Alice.
(Okay! Just throwin ideas out!)
Ferran scratched his head. "Well…I don't know if there's any other way…" He looked at Alice. "Do you have any ideas?"
"Well, if this is a comic universe, we can wish a villain into existanse. Reverse Deus Ex Machina."
