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.

[Allen had stepped out of the Ark to find that something was wrong. He wanted to get to Germany and this didn't look like Germany. Also those men pointing their guns at him didn't look that friendly. Not that odd when he had stepped out from a strange portal that had appeared out of nowhere dressed in his black uniform.]

Who is there? Identify yourself!

[Germany glared at the stranger, positioned between his men, left hand held high in a silent command for them not to shoot until ordered to do so. The uniform this man wore looked unfamiliar. And whatever technology he had used to just show up right in the new Reich Chancellery was reason enough to worry.]

Who sent you?

[Oh, yes he was in trouble here. At least the accent of the man that was glaring at him sounded German. He might not have trailed to far off then.]

My name is Allen Walker.

[It was best not to upset the man too much so answering his questions was a good idea. He sure hoped that he didn't have any problems with Englishmen.]

I was send by Komui, head of the Black Order, Europe division.

[The nation frowned at that response.]

Your name is English. But for a spy you're too obvious. I doubt even that island would send his men at us this bluntly.

[The frown ceased a little and gained itself a slightly rueful edge while Germany's voice lost a bit of its sharp tone.]

Just tell me he's not sending his magicians at us now.

[Because, really. Black Order? This strange uniform? This mysterious entrance? England, no. Germany wasn't in the mood for your weird games!]

[Allen looked confused. Spy? Magicians? Something was going on that he had no knowledge about.]

I'm not a magician.

[He better shut up about being an exorcist. It would only led to a lot of difficulty explanations.]

You have to excuse me, but I am at a bit of a loss at what is going on.

That's a question I should be asking, Herr Walker. Suddenly showing up in a nation's seat of government with no authorisation to do so and under undoubtedly dubious circumstances tends to raise suspicion and may be considered an attempted attack even. Especially during times of war.

[He took his hand down at last, resulting in half of the men taking down their weapons and two of them stepping up to Allen from behind to seize him.]

For the time being, you will be arrested. It is in your own interest to cooperate and assist us in clearifying this matter.

[It would be unwise to resist, so he calmly let himself be seized. He didn't have any weapons on him that could make things worse. He should be grateful for the small things. Like that it wasn't that many guns pointed at him now. But it was one thing that caught his attention.]

War? Komui didn't say anything about a war going on here.

[He could not be talking about the war between humans and Akuma, right? It might be a civil one.]

Who are you fighting against?

[Germany exchanged a few quick looks with some of the guards, brows raised in faint confusion before wordlessly sending a few of them away and taking a step forward himself, frown returning to his expression as he turned to Allen again.]

The world is at war and you claim to not having noticed? How? You hardly look like a monk from some secluded abbey thst lives separated from the world.

[The world at war? That was something he had a hard time to phantom. He was used to traveling and nothing that could result in a big war had been in his way. What was going on? What if? No that was just to unbelievable, but nothing else came to his mind.]

Exactly what date is it?

March, 23rd.

[And as he answered this question, the frown on Germany's face just deepens.]

Why would you ask?

[Allen could feel how a uneasy feeling was forming inside him. He had not left in March. He had left in October. Had something gone wrong with the Ark? Had it held him in almost half a year?]

Please tell me the year. I fear that something might be wrong.
