[Voice | LOCKED TO RESIDENTS]

[malnosso]

Rin Okumura, I require your presence in the Battle Dome.

The rest of you, kindly pay attention, as I'd rather not have to repeat myself. Tomorrow morning - that is, the morning of October 1st, going by the ever-popular Earth calendar everyone seems to favour - an Artificial Shift will occur and pull you back in time, similar to the one a number of you experienced in the Zompania enclosure. Unlike that shift, however, this time you'll be going back years, not days. A few hundred, give or take. Your enclosure existed back then, more or less, but the technology level of that era was... lacking, to say the least. A few of you might remember the old days, so just imagine them older still. Establish yourselves and get comfortable, as you may be there for an extended period. This is not your typical shift, and the Malnosso are unaware of what's happening. Keep it that way.

You'll receive instructions after you arrive. I can't give you specifics because it's really up to you to make any progress, but you're a smart group. I'm sure you'll figure it out. Bring with you only what you can carry- necessities, not luxuries. If all goes according to plan, you'll return to your homes as they are now with no harm done. I can offer you no guarantees, however trust me when I say that everything you leave behind is better here rather than there.

Rise early, be prepared, try not to throw up. It's a significant jump and I can't promise it'll be a pleasant experience. I'd apologize, but it really is for your own good. Best of luck to you, and hopefully you'll fare better than those of the past did.

What's the big idea?! We are NOT yours to throw about as you please just because you think we would "benefit"!

[Vegeta shhhh John saved your life]

[ricecakes]

[Vegeta shhhh John doesn't care]

I believe in your world the appropriate response would be something along the lines of, "Just try and stop me."

Accompanied by an evil laughter, perhaps?

[misterbrief]

How do you know that. [Creepy John that's spot on and he doesn't like that. Maybe if Vegeta paid more attention to John he wouldn't be so surprised.]

[ricecakes]

There are a lot of things I know, surprisingly.

I wouldn't worry about it.

[misterbrief]

[He stays silent for a second. He's not going to push that issue- it's on an open network talking to the red man. Not a good idea.]

You should be telling yourself the same thing. What are you so worried about that you have to send us back in time without those blasted morons knowing about it.

[He's making assumptions and you know what that meaaans]

[ricecakes]

So you would prefer everything to remain as-is? You're content with the current state of the world? How nice for you.

[misterbrief]

And how are you so sure that's going to affect this timeline, huh? All you'll be doing is sending us back for nothing to change here at all.

[That's how it works in his world and he's sticking to it even if he's wrong HE DOESN'T CARE]

[ricecakes]

If nothing happens, then it won't cause any harm then, will it? Obviously that isn't preferable, and it's extremely unlikely, besides. But these things do happen.

[misterbrief]

Other than wasting our time. And screwing up everything in the past while you're at it. [He says that even though he doesn't give two shits about what happens to that timeline. Only this one.]

Let's just say your big plan doesn't work out. Or the timeline in the past shifts so much with our presence that things go wrong. What then?

[ricecakes]

Then you'll go back and try it again until you get it right.

[misterbrief]

[He sits back and scowls, but falls to silence for a second.]

This better work.

You just might find that messing with time doesn't always turn out the way you want.

[Suck it up Vegeta you're not getting out of this]

[ricecakes]

We'll see about that.

[Suck it up, indeed.]
