*Stares off the cliffside, rage and misery mingling in my eyes*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*places my hand on your shoulder somewhat awkwardly, wait for a few moments on your response then gently pulls your head to my chest*

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

You—
*Is taken by surprise at the sudden gesture*
...
*As you do, the cliffs above us retract and shrink, crumbling from their imposing forms and are replaced with a well-treaded trail to the top of the mountain*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

…
*looks at the trail and my breathing softens as I rub your head softly, turning my head back to you*

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

*Turns to catch a glimpse of what you’re looking at and goes as pale as a sheet*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*sees your reaction and sighs*
Please tell me it’s good news…

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

*Barely chokes out the words*
Fixed trail... We... have... to move.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

What does that mean?
*pushes you back somewhat to look at you*
Does that mean I need to carry you?

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

*Closes my eyes*
I have half a mind to throw you off—
*Opens them and points up the trail, while breaking into a run*
This shouldn’t exist! It’s the same as the footprints before!

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*follows you closely*
I don’t understand, but okay! What is going on? Is this a bad scenario?

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

The future! It’s running out of possibilities!

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Wha- That’s a thing??
*thinks for a bit*
Ohhh, there is a static point coming up??

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

There may be soon...
*Keeps running up until we disappear into the cloud cover*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*to myself, grinning slightly before we disappear*
I’m so smart.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

*Once we get above the cloud cover, we step into a dreamlike room with shifting walls and an opaque diamond-cut slab in the center, shaped almost like a casket*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*looks around*
This is… odd.
*notices the slab and carefully steps towards it*
I don’t recognize any of this Time Line…
*gets halfway between where you are and the slab and I turn around*
Is this something of yours again?

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

This one, yes. I don't have a choice.
*Steps toward the stone and pushes it to the side with serious exertion, and reveals a secret chamber underneath*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Innnteresting.

<Snipped quote by Codify>

No, you need to decide right now whether you’ll end this nonsense bickering, or I’m out.

<Snipped quote by Server>

Whether I do something or not depends on what happens. I'm probably done with her, on a personal level, except to laugh at her when she messes up.
