Outside a Mall Car Park
| >After saying my location i wait to the person i just talked by sitting on the sidewalk
| (Heads up, next time you make one put (setting) in the title)
| (Ok, thanks for the advise)
| >A zombie wearing a T-shirt featuring a decent amount of ahegao, and dark, blue jeans, comes walking towards the mall. He looks around for a bit, before he spots the person sitting on the sidewalk, and walks up to him.
"Hi. Are you the supposed time traveler? I'm here to help you."
| >I see surprised
| "Hi... and you are the person who told me that hes gonna take me to a save place?"
| "I am indeed. Now, I doubt you have any money, so I will probably have to give you some. I won't give you too much though, so we'll have to find a cheap place for you to sleep until you can earn money on your own. I would also like to take you to a bar or something. I want to talk about your past. Now, what kind of place would you like to stay at?"
| "Somewhere i can sleep in a comfortable bed"
| "Also, you dont look like a human at all, what happened to this world?"
| A blue halo flashes not far away and out of it steps a young child.
| the child walks up to the group and says "did one of you just call me?"
| >>290819
"A comfortable bed huh. I do know a place that is extremely cheap. I should be able to buy you two weeks there, breakfast included. Also, I am not human, but that's not really this world's fault. I'm not from this planet."
| >>290826
>Garrett turns to the kid, staring at it for a while before answering.
"I didn't. I don't know about this guy."
| "An alien? You have a lot of things to explain to me, lets go, i dont fell secure in this place"
| >I stand up
| The kid looks confused and sleepy. Oh... Must have picked up the wrong phone, he turns around saying "goodbye then" and in a flash of light he is gone
| "What?, the kid just dissapeared?, This is so weird"
| "It's the future. Also, would you like something to eat? We could eat and talk at the mall, then I'll send you off towards the bar with a credstick. Also, you should get used to stuff like that. It seems like teleporting is starting to get kind of normal."
>Before waiting for an answer, Garrett starts walking towards the mall's entrance.
| (Also, you should write all your stuff in one post. All of the talking and your actions. Instead of posting one sentence at a time. When a thread hits 250 posts, it will be automatically closed, and we don't want to spam this entire board with continuationa of the same thread when it can easily be avoided.)
| (Ok i`ll remember that)
| >I follow the zombie
"Yeah, i should eat something"
| >They enter the mall. It is quite big, and has security guards outside almost every store. They look for somewhere to eat, and find three options. At least that Garrett is willing to pay for.
"Ok. So, they have a burg shop over there. They seem to be selling some sort of baguettes over there, and there's also a hot dog stand. What do you want?"
| "I want a hot dog please, so, in this years that i have pass what happened, why are aliens living here? Why this city looks so depressing?
| >>290884
>Garrett orders one hot dog, and let's the time traveler choose the toppings himself. They take a seat at a nearby table.
"Well, when it comes to aliens, there's not a lot of us. From what I know, it's just me and a few others of similar race. When it comes to how depressing it is, it's probably because you ended up in one of the poorest, shittiest places on this planet. If I'm not mistaken, this entire city is basically a failed project."
| "After you buy the food, lets go to a quiet place where we can talk and eat in peace, im so confused"
| "A quiet place huh. I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Most of the more quiet places in this city aren't that safe. We're also in the middle of the town. We would have to walk a while for somewhere both safe an quiet. If there's too much here for you to take in, try to focus on me, and look around as little as possible, and take deep breaths."
>The hot dog is now ready, and the seller calls for the time traveler to come and get it. On the counter there's only relish and ketchup.
| >I take the hot dog
Ok, so, any place that we can talk quietly?
| "Not really. Not anywhere close that I know. It might be best if we just sit here."
| "Ok, lets sit here
| (Also, do you read everything that I write?)
| (Sorry i didnt realized that you wrote two notes, it wont happen again)
| "Yeah. Now, do you have any questions, before I start interrogating you?"
| "Not really, start with the "interrogation""
| "Ok. So, I'll start with the obvious. Do you know why you're here, and if you do, please explain your situation."
| "I dont know why i`am here, i just was going to sleep like every night and suddenly, i woke up here, i can swear that i dont know why i`ve been transported to the future
| "Ok. That's about what I expected. So, could you give me a quick synopsis of your life before this? Your job, your relationships, where did you live, stuff like that."
| "Lets see, i was born in Britain, at the age of 20 i went to The United States to study there, i didnt get to start working because i didnt finished my studies, i dont have girlfriend and before this i was studying in Washington D.C, something more you want to ask?"
| "Yes. What were you studying, and were you ever involved in something, let's just say out of the ordinary. Like, some kind of project."
| "I was studying physic, some months ago we investigated something related to time and space, but im not sure if that project is somehow related to my travel to the future, what do you think?"
| "That's some of the dumbest shit I've heard. We were working on a project relating to time and space, but I don't think that's why I'm suddenly in the future. I'm curious though. I would like to hear more about this project. By now, the other people who worked on it are either dead, or have at least abandoned the project, so I you should be able to talk openly about it."
| (Remove that I.)
| "Look, i only know what i just told you, we only investigated, i dont know if they used our investigation to create a machine or something like that, but here i`am, i really wish i knew something more,sorry, this is all i know"
| "I just remembered, we investigated how it worked the time and space, thats truly all i know, i dont know if later they expanded the investigaton into how to travel through space"
| (Space and time)
| "So you weren't an important person in this so called investigation I presume. That would make you perfect for testing. I'm just speculating though. Ok so, are there anything you want to know? I believe the world we're in is quite different from the world you left. Remember that information is always key, so ask away."
| "Em let me think, now that we are speaking about time travels, in the past was any news that talked about time travel?, also, are more cases about people travelling through time? And last, how is the world now? Its a peacefull place? I see that poberty wasnt erradicated but at least is a world without wars... right?"
| >Garrett starts chuckling at this poor man's innocence.
"Without war. Hehe. You know, in this world, especially this city, you can't avoid war. We recently had a mini war. Literally just a war that lasted a few hours. There are also explosions, robbery, rape, all the crimes and bad shit you can imagine is normal here, so you shouldn't get your hopes up."
(1/2)
| "When it comes to time travel cases, I can't remember anything specific. I remember hearing something amount a floating mountain or something randomly dissapearing a few months ago. I think that had something to do with time. There's also this girl, who keeps glitching through time. I've heard her say something about her timeline trying to pull her back or something. I don't know any details though."
(2/2)
| >see Garrett with a bit of dissapoint
"I see, nothing has changed... anyways, the case of that girl is surely rare, something tells me that the girl is somehow related with the investigation made decades ago"
| "Its late and im sure this city isnt the safest place at night we should go to some place to sleep, i`m right?
| "You are certainly right. Not like it's too safe during day time either, but that's besides the point. As I said earlier, I know a good place where you could sleep. But before we go, I would like to ask for your name. My name is Garrett. What is yours?"
| >Somewhere in the background a red haired Lilim is chasing another Lilim, who is striking similar. She swears, and holsters her pistol, as it evades, before turning to return to where she came from.
(No reply needed, just needed to put this somewhere)
| "My name is Alan, nice to meet you Garrettt"
| "Nice to meet you too. Now, I don't really have time to follow you all the way there, but I'll give you the coordinates and a credstick."
>Garrett takes his phone, and connects it to Alan's. A map that shows the fastest and safest way to the bar appears on Alan's screen. Garrett disconnects the two devices, and gives Alan a credstick.
"This thing is called a credstick. You use it for payment. Give it to the bartender, and ask for as many nights as it can pay for."
| (I think we should end this thread when we part ways. I don't own the bar in question, and it's not open right now, as in, there's no thread set in that bar right now. It's basically just a cozy little bar where everything is surprisingly cheap, and with a nice bartender. If you want more details, go to search for posts and type in "smoke filled bar".)
| (Ok see ya in another time)
| (Cya)
