[Voice | LOCKED TO RESIDENTS]

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.

Ah, yes. Sophie, was her name? Are you looking for a babysitter?

No.

[After a moment of thinking and reading the other questions having been asked:] If she is coming with us, then she will not need one. And if we are coming back [a pause as she thinks how to term timetravel without getting a headache] at the same time as we left, she will not need one if she is unaffected.

What I wanted to know is whether she is going to be affected?
ricecakes: (I'm listening.)

[Heh.]

She will be shifted back to the past with the rest of you. Beyond that, I cannot say for sure. Shifting technology was very new and unpredictable in those days- moreso than it is now, at least.

[Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. ...Well, most of the questions she'd otherwise ask have been asked by other people other than things she's pretty sure he won't answer or she wouldn't understand the answer to, so:] Thank you.

[After a moment, she adds:] For answering my questions. I am not happy with you sending us all back without asking for reasons you will not tell us to do things you will not tell us about. But thank you for answering the questions you did.
ricecakes: (this pleases me.)

At the moment this is very much my job, and I do have my own motives, but you are welcome.

[It's nice to be appreciated sometimes.]
