[That's not really a good sign either. He lets his hand drop slowly.]

I'm coming with you. What happened? What did you see? [He doesn't ask "are you okay" because it's too easy for Dave to say yes and John not knowing if that's the truth.]

[parodeity]

[ dave swallows for a second, then just shrugs. ]

Same theme, slight variations. Lots of death.

[ it's a neon warning sign not to time travel, maybe, and yet. ]

Faster if we fly?

[windeity]

[Yeah okay, what if he never lets Dave timetravel ever again?]

Right. [A nod.] Right. We can fly to check on things. Whenever you're ready.

[parodeity]

Let's go. [ ready is relative and dave just lets himself lift off because he'd rather be doing something even if it's something stupid.

he's brilliant ]

[windeity]

Wait for me! [Dave's already in the air and John moves back just a bit to kick off into the air to follow.]

[parodeity]

I'm not goin' all that fast. [ he COULD go faster maybe - but in the air he can't really flashstep, so...? ] Let's just...head out wood-wards?

[windeity]

[Once he's up in the air he can keep up, but he nods and looks toward the woods by Flavo.] Okay...you have something in particular in mind?

[parodeity]

Not really. Just...leaving the town, seeing if I get anything different in the forest. Let's not go in too deep, though? [ towards flavo works. ]

[windeity]

We won't. So what you are saying is you still want to try time travel again, but in the forest where it is probably even more dangerous than in town. Got it.

[parodeity]

...Are you saying no, or. [ but yes he does want to try it again. ] You'll be there. Right?

[windeity]

No. I'm not saying no, I just want to make sure that is what is happening. I'll be right there though. [Like hell he's leaving now.]

[parodeity]

Then yeah that's pretty much the summation of the whole thing. [ dave will be a little quiet until he touches down. ] You're...

[windeity]

[He follows, landing on the ground next to him and giving him another worried look.]

I'm still right here. [In case Dave thought otherwise.]

[parodeity]

...yeah. Yeah, I know.Sorry, I was just...thinking.

[ being distracted. ]

[windeity]

About? [Yeah, he's getting that. He's just going to keep talking to keep Dave grounded for the time being.]

[parodeity]

Nothing important. [ he shakes himself, withdraws a little, and refocuses on the task at hand. right, time travel.

there's half a second of hesitation before he calls up his time tables again, but this time when he forces himself to love he does disappear. ]

[windeity]

[He jumps a little when Dave disappears, a hand reaching out to grab at nothing before he grasps the air and...waits...

...time travel is the worst, he thinks.]

[parodeity]

[ turnabout is probably unfair play to the guy who turned into the breeze a lot while running from jade.

a few minutes later there's a soft displacement of air further away by ten or fifteen feet and dave looks...fine? a little calmer. still tired but less freaked out for the moment, even if it maybe hadn't registered how tense he was. ]

Works out here. But nowhere in town I've tried.

[windeity]

[On instinct he moves forward again. The windy thing and time travel displacement are two different things ok.]

So what do you think it is? A barrier or something?

[parodeity]

[ there's a frustrated little shrug. ] I think something really, really doesn't want me to time travel inside the boundary. I don't know how or why. I still could do other shit and that didn't cause...whatever that was?

[windeity]

Okay. Then don't use time travel inside the barrier until we figure it out. We don't even know where the barrier could be coming from.

[parodeity]

...Yeah, fine. [ one of those aborted movements where he starts towards john then stops himself, but. ] You're not gonna try your thing, either, are you?

[windeity]

[It's fine, he takes a step forward himself.] ...no. I was not planning on it, I think. I don't know how it would work here.

[parodeity]

[ it's not quite physical contact, but it's something. dave shoves his hands into his pockets. ] ...dunno. You might get slammed with worse than I did. Even if not, it wouldn't...

[ well. ]

...just try to stay in the timeline I'm in for now.

[windeity]

I do not plan on attempting it anytime soon. [A little too firmly and a little too uncertain all at once. He doesn't want to tell Dave he doesn't trust himself to actually try in the first place.]
