<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Stands up as the song comes to a close, steam fuming off my forehead as I stand from your previous blast*
I only have so much fear and respect to give.
*The lasers slow and stop before hitting any of us in the absence of music, allowing my brother to step aside*
No room for you on the shortlist.
*Explodes from where I stand and rockets toward a position just as you warp there, slamming my fist down like a thunderous hammer onto the side of your head as you pass, and releasing the frozen projectiles on the moment of impact*

*Tumbles across the metallic floor, unable to slow myself with my wrists still bound and the healing spell desperately working to patch up the damage*
Lily, how’s it looking?

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Sure, like a very consistent, personal magnet.

*Glances at the blood dripping down your face, and deeper still at the fractures, punctures, and bruises*
Oh wow, uh. You’re looking great out there. Just keep it up!

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Huh

On the other hand, we’re able to move in opposition to the flow of time. Depending on your discipline, that may come with additional rules.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

What are the rules of the sand?

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

Okay, so what’s their deal?

<Snipped quote by Session>

They're regular musicians.

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

“Regular’s” a stretch.

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Shrugs*

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

You’re not very talkative, huh?

<Snipped quote by Session>

I'm surprised you noticed. You must be quite perceptive.

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

*Sticks my tongue out at you*
Fine, be like that.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

That part is up to you, actually. But I’ll teach you different paths, including what made the most sense to me.
*Takes a step back along the path you’re walking*
Perhaps the simplest form is to travel back in time and “undo” all that has already been done. But there are often unforeseen consequences to that approach.

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Shrugs*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

What if you do different paths of time where they all connect?

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Hmmmm, elaborate.
