WHAT Last chance for timefuck except not really
WHERE Wherever
WHEN Day 127, whenever

[So, you've been messing around with time.]

[Okay, we've actually been doing that, yeah. Quiet Mounds is still a bit unpredictable, with the seasons and the clocks a little haywire. Today, there's another little pulse of magic. Maybe some of you find yourself back to normal? Or maybe more people are suddenly the wrong age or timeline. Maybe Deadpool shows up. I don't know.]

[Last post for deage/age-up/etc event, though obviously you can continue to backthread or play at your leisure after this.]

I have nothing to be mad about, love? [strokes fingertips down his cheek]

I love you. I love you.

[breathless, a little clingy]

I love you, Vasily. [firm, gazing at him] You've always done your best.

[his expression scrunches up like he wants to cry]

Mikk . . .

[kisses his nose gently]

[repeats, softer] You've always done your best.

You don't know that—

[a soft whisper]

It's true, I don't know everything that's happened. I just believe it based on what I do know of your life, your values, and your personality.

[. . . draws in a shaky breath, just staring at him]

Oh.

And I want to know anything you want to tell me, but it's not an obligation either. You don't owe me anything.

[takes a deep breath, then explains everything that he told Steve]

[listens attentively]

I thought it was something like that... what triggered the sidereal?

I don't . . . know. The first time, I thought it was because I tried to, ah, touch it? With my magic. But surely other wizards had tried the same. And then later times . . . it still happened, even if circumstances were different. One way or another it found it's way.

[nods] I was going to say... it sounds like a disaster waiting to happen even if you did everything right to protect it from yourself. Do the others know?
