THE TIME-TRAVEL MEME


Somehow, someway, you've mastered time travel! Well done, genius. Maybe it was accidental, maybe you knew exactly what you were doing all along, perhaps you've even been at it a while!

How to play
① Tag in with your name/series/date. The latter should be from your character's perspective! For example, Jane Doe/That Oldie Zombie Series/1945
② Go to RNG and roll 1-10. That's your scenario!
③ Tag around!
④ Have fun. :)


Scenarios

① Trapped. Something doesn't seem to be quite right with the machine anymore ...
② Long Lost Lovers. You're back in their arms and nothing can separate you, not even time and space itself.
③ War. You've arrived in the middle of a fight/battlefield. Unless you intended for it to happen, this isn't looking so good.
④ Sickness. Did that person mention the Black Death?! Better find your friend and get out of the Dark Ages before you start coughing.
⑤ Party. Lucky you! There's a hootnanny going down in the past/future and it looks like you're just in time to grab a drink.
⑥ Missing. They stole your first time machine, but now you've built another and the chase is on!
⑦ Date Night. Nothing says 'oh, Mr. Darcy, oh!' like a romantic blast into the past or a frolic into the future. Whichever historical event is going on around you now, however amazing, it's all foreplay in the grand scheme of things.
⑧ Lost. It's years ahead of the times for one of you, but things seem normal enough to the other person.
⑨ You Dun Fucked Up, Kid. Which year is it? Which world is this, for that matter? Shit. Looks like you didn't just build a time machine, you're in a whole other universe ... !
⑩ Roller's Choice. Pick your own.

Like very strange men crushing your flowers with their box?

[geronimoed]

Exactly like. Speaking of my box, I should probably get it out of your way.

[flourished]

I'd appreciate that.

[geronimoed]

[goes to move his box.

Which means it disappears out of existence completely. And there is some time where it appears like he just hasn't come back. But then he reappears through the church doors with GARDENING TOOLS.]

Right then!

[flourished]

[ . . .

waves her hand through where the box was. . . before looking back at him ]

If you could do that why did you come through the roof?

[geronimoed]

I wasn't expecting the roof.

[PUTS DOWN THE TOOLS. looks at the damage.

pauses.]

I have literally no idea what I'm doing.

[flourished]

. . .

If it was a gardening kit why don't you know anything about gardening?

[geronimoed]

Got a lot of questions, don't you? Well, I'm sure we can make these work. I am almost completely sure that bag is full of seeds — oh, but if we introduce them to the soil and they grow a giant beanstalk I can only apologise further. But at least the hole in the roof is already there so that'll be fine too!

[flourished]

I only have as many questions as I need.

[ kneels down a bit to see which flowers have been CRUSHED BY YOUR TARDIS and which are still okay. ]

A beanstalk would grow all the way up . . . to the sky . . .

[geronimoed]

If it's a giant one, of course.

[brandishes the gardening fork] Now, I'm ninety-nine percent sure of the answer to this, but this does go into the ground prong-side down, doesn't it?

[flourished]

[ reaches over and directs it into the soil ]

Mm! Just like that.

[geronimoed]

Excellent. Thought so. I'll grasp this in no time.

[flourished]

Work hard.

[geronimoed]

Never let it be said that I don't occasionally clean up my own mess.

[begins to sort out the messed up soil and the obviously ruined flowers ...]

[flourished]

Do you get accused of that a lot?

[ working with the bruised but not hopelessly destroyed flowers :u ]

[geronimoed]

You should hear it from the Ponds. You've never heard the like. They're always --

[he pauses]

They were always -- ahh. Occasionally. But not this time.

[carries on sorting the flowerbed out, somewhat messily]

[flourished]

. . . I'm sorry.

[geronimoed]

Oh, don't do that. I don't need that.

[flourished]

[ props up another flower before answering him ]

Hmmmm, I don't know you well enough to say that! But losing people is always hard.

[geronimoed]

I suppose it is.

[flourished]

I'm usually right about this kind of thing.

[geronimoed]

Yes, yes you are.

[clears his throat, after that.]

Anyway! Vegetation.
