adventures in Time And Relavent Dimensions In Space (Closed)

[Warhaven]

"Right, you take care of the staff, the rest of us, need to vanish off to The Plane of time and get started." Chron said.

"I have Eris running around helping people through this." Pachuco said. Chron, Pachuco, and the Warhaven Temporal casters disappeared to the plane of time.

.....

"Huh, wonder how this happened." Ziella said, waking up after Dexal yelled.

"But, somehow we're married, older, and together. I'm just disappointed about being older." Ziella said.

.....

"Oh, I feel stiff this morning, as if I aged wrong." Pondera groaned, getting up.

.....

Baby Jezeel cried for food. Fortunatly, she had teeth, so that made feeding her an easier task than it could've been.

.....

Karesh meanwhile, wasn't the slightest bit surprised by what happened, but she was pleased by the marriage, even if it was likely only temporary for now.

[The Floor Kippers]

Thomas vanished off to Raid the Black Archives while Calufrax went with the others.
Thomas would join them an hour or so later looking battered and bruised but carrying a large metal box with him, in which was the staff.
....
"Oh dear, this can't be good," Dexal said, looking at the clock on his beside table the hands on which were spinning around backwards and forwards, "I, I don't mean the being married though."
....
"I feel ever so sprightly and young," Carol said, "I feel like I'm a child of eight. Oh. I am a child of eight"
....
"Sorry Dear, the food I'm going to feed you won't compare to what you've been feeding me," Charlie said, carrying her to the kitchen.
....
"It feels good, being married to you," William said, looking at the rings on their fingers.

[Warhaven]

The temple was shattered, blocks lost in time.

"I hate to sound bossy and all, but, Calufrax, your task is to round up the missing stones that are lost in the sandstorm. You'll be able to find them, it'll be like a spot of light in the darkness, metaphorically speaking. Thomas, what can that staff do, everyone else, grab a rock and let's get this mess organized so we can rebuild, I know how the Temple's supposed to be constructed." Chron said, handing out orders.
....
Charlie would find Jezebel in the kitchen, a creaky elderly woman, Aspari a bright eyed little boy.

"Thank goodness I know mother's cooking secrets, it looks like she's not quite big enough to employ them." Jezebel managed.
.....

"Time is in disarray." Pondera said simply.

.....

Ziella looked in the closets, to find her stuff.

"You and I being married must be such a certain thing in the future, that of course putting us in that age requires us to be put together in the same room." Ziella said.
.....

"I agree." Karesh said, then gave him a kiss as his wife.

[The Floor Kippers]

"Not much is known about the staff, only that it released enough energy to atomize every sapient thing on both American Continents," Thomas said as Calufrax set off on his task, "It was found, buried in the rocky mountains. A scan tells me that at the very least it can control time."

He opened the metal box and pulled out a staff made from black wood, covered in intricate carvings, it seemed to vibrate in his very hands, as if it was pleased to be in the hands of a time caster.
....
"I'm a good cook on my own," Charlie protested as Victoria waddled in, about 21 and heavily pregnant, wedding ring on her finger.

"I could cook," She said, "Though I haven't learnt as much as Jezebel."
....
"Well let's hope it gets fixed," Carol said.
....
Dexal smiled.
"Now that's a certainty I love the sound of," He said, standing up.
....
"So, this is what we'll look like when Puberty is done with," William said after the kiss, looking Karesh up and down, "Aren't I a lucky boy?"

[Warhaven]

"Right, Thomas, control time. Father Time is missing. Like Death, he had a stance of Neutrality, and even controlled Anti-Time. Use the staff, get time flowing in an orderly fashion." Chron said, while the rest got to work sorting out what remained of the temple, and getting started repairing the foundation.

"Calufrax, you concentrate on finding the missing stonework. I'll look for Father Time." Pachuco said.

The stones were scattered across time, but not across space. But that's because they were in a part of time in which space did not exist.

....
"BREAKFAST!" Jezebel roared in a creaky old woman's voice, getting Ziella's attention.

.....

"I thought you were just that good." Karesh countered, getting up. She was going to be a very attractive woman, and was almost there already. He'd be able to tell where she needed to finish filling out, and what was done growing. Her height hadn't changed, she'd be 5'5" when grown, which she was already. Her chest was going to get a little bigger, so was her hips, thighs, posterior, but not unattractively so. It was more like a fruit ripening to tempting proportions. Fortunatly for William, Karesh had kept up her habit of sleeping Nude, so he was able to see all the details. She even smelled more womanly than normal.

"So, adults, and married. We could do anything we liked, technically." Karesh commented.

[The Floor Kippers]

Thomas concentrated and activated the staff.
"Gods, I hope this doesn't go wrong," He said, "The last person to touch this turned to dust."
Calufrax spread his wings and slipped between the tick and the tock of time, headed for the closest stone.
....
"I do hope that wasn't Jezebel," Dexal said.
....
"Don't tempt me," William said with a grin. It seemed in the future, he'd taken up her habit too.
He still had some height to gain to bring him up to his adult 6 feet dead on, and his shoulders had some broadening to do.
His wings still had some growing to bring them up to their, frankly, magnificent size, and they weren't the only thing that had some growing to do to get to a decent size, as Karesh would see, as his body reacted to the sight of her naked form.

[Warhaven]

Calufrax would find the stones easy enough, and Thomas could organize time easily enough.

.....

Ziella lead the way, and discovered yes, it was Jezebel, and Victoria was pregnant.

"Is that Victor's child in there?" Ziella asked Victora, grinning.

.....

"Good gods what did I ever do right to get you?" Karesh asked, amazed by William. sauntering closer.

[The Floor Kippers]

"Seems the damage to time isn't as bad as we thought," Thomas said as he moved time back into the right order piece by piece.
....
"Maybe," Victoria said, blushing, "It actually feels more like three."

"Oh my poor little princess," Charlie said,
....
"You stole my heart and became a holy demoness," William said, with a smile.

[Warhaven]

"This is only the symptom of the real problem." Pachuco said to Thomas as he came back.

"Where's Father Time?" Chron asked.

"Eaten by Niel Ra." Pachuco said.

.....

"Tripletts! Well, it seems when your 21, being pregnant's going to be a big thing. I'm quite certain the rest of us will have children by this point on our lives, but creating an entire person for a temporal accident's quite a task. You have the appearance and sensation of being pregnant, but I bet there isn't anyone new in there." Ziella theorized.

....

"Well, you are a gorgeous man." Karesh complimented laying on him without sticking anything anywhere.

"I just hope I can handle that giant thing down there." She confided in him.

[The Floor Kippers]

"Surely he's well past his sell by date now?" Calufrax asked, returning with the stones.
....
"Maybe not," Victoria said, "But it feels like there is."

....
"I hope I can too," William replied, holding her, "I'd hate to disappoint such a gorgeous and sexy woman."

[Warhaven]

"Joking aside, if she's eaten Father time, our defences have a major hole in them." Pachuco said.
....

"As you get older, you'll figure out who's they are." Jezeel said, as she began growing older due to Time getting re-organized.

....

"Really? I'm surprised, I thought men had the inborn ability to handle their parts. I didn't know there was a similar feeling of nervousness about the ability to perform and live up to expectations." Karesh admitted, surprised.

[The Floor Kippers]

"It is bad indeed," Thomas said, "How did we miss out time from our defences?"
....
"I'm certain I should do," Victoria said, showing off the ring on her hand, "I married the father after all."
....
"No, I get it too," William said, "Because I want to please you and make you happy, but I don't want to mess up."

[Warhaven]

"I don't think any of us thought of her going for Father Time." Pachuco said. The foundation was repaired, and Chron was busily directing the construction of the rest of the temple.
....

The Whiteshadows returned to normal, now that time had returned to normal.

"Oh thank goodness." Jezebel said, pleased to be a teenager again, then finished up making breakfast and passed a plate full around to everyone.

....

"No one's good at it, at first. I'm going to be a terrible lover at first, and so are you. Practice is what lets us become fantastic lovers, and plenty of experience with each other. So don't worry, you'll make me happy the first time, and every time. The only way you could mess up, is to not even try." Karesh promised, back to normal, all the millers were back to normal.

Everyone was back to normal, thanks to Thomas and his staff.

[The Floor Kippers]

"I don't think anyone thought she was crazy enough to try," Calufrax said,
.....
"That's a relief," Victoria said as she was no longer pregnant.

"Well, that seems to be everyone back to normal," Charlie said.
....
William said nothing, he just kissed Karesh.

[Warhaven]

"She's an erratic grieving widow. Anything's possible." Pachuco said, assisting with the rebuilding of the temple.

....

"Your doing a good job dear." Jezeel complimented her daughter's cooking.

....

Karesh smiled, then got dressed and went off to breakfast, the family normal.

"So, just out of intellectual curiosity, how hard is it to get a juvenile wedding permit?" Karesh asked.

"Well, the Central Bureaucracy states that all persons involved must be 16 years at minimum. They must also submit to a test verifying that the marriage isn't being compelled, or forced, all parties consent of their own decision, and that both parties can handle marriage. All that from a single test. Me specifically, before I sign my consent, you both have to be 16, and William has to already have asked you to marry him. Then there's Carol to consider, and any objections or considerations she might have." Pondera said.

[The Floor Kippers]

"Well we know that now," Thomas said.
....
"Thanks Mom," Victoria said, she was frying some bacon and scrambling some eggs.
....
"My conditions are the same as yours," Carol said.

[Warhaven]

The temple was about built.

"I'll fill in for Father Time." Chron announced.

....
"So, what happened to everyone this morning?" Jezeel asked.

"Dexal and I woke up married, and in bed with each other." Ziella said.

....

"You two have been together so long, and are doing so well, I would be glad, proud, and honored to let you marry A.S.A.P." Pondera said.

"Well, my fingers won't change much in the next ten years, so my ring size is set. I'm sure William could do better than the plain unadorned gold band Time gave us in its fragmented state. Especially if he asked Diella to help him." Karesh said/

[The Floor Kippers]

"Best substitute we have," Thomas said.
.....
"I woke up feeling sick," Victoria said.
.....
"Before I ask, there is one journey I need to make. Tradition and honour demands it," William said.

[Warhaven]

Chron began transforming into the Time Fiend, Tractus.

"As it turns out, we ancients, who housed The Fiends within us for so long, discovered that these days after their defeat, when we allow our powers to reach their fullest we automatically transform into The Fiend we imprisoned within." Chron explained, as he entered the finished temple to regulate time.

"Something's fishy about all this though. Why attack Time, and then not proceed onto us in our disarrayed state? It doesn't make sense." Pachuco stated.

"Maybe Lord Sam can make sense of it." A Time Wizard suggested.

"Maybe, but maybe not, at least not yet. This is a Chaotic tactic, remarkable in its effectiveness, considering the very orderly nature of Niel Ra and Callistra. Eris and I are the two best experts in Chaos around, at the moment. I don't think it's Castiel Ra, that doesn't feel right. No, I think she was used as a distraction unwittingly. Yet despite it all, not even I can make sense of this yet." Pachuco worried.

......

"Not all honor and tradition needs to be satisfied." Pondera warned, worried.

"Yes, in this case it does. Demonic tradition holds, that when a Demoness is taken to wife of a non-Demon, the Non-Demon is tormented for his affection by the Demoness's family, cohorts, and minions, if they care enough about her to do so. I have been waiting for this, for my mother will torment William with words, words I have been waiting for, so I know what final adjustments to make to Holy Demons, that I, and all future Holy Demons might marry in peace, without any tormenting. Braxiatel will torment William physically, somehow. The rest of my seven Deadly Family members will lend the nature of their sins to the cause, even help out if need be. And William needs to make this trip, alone, and unaided, to ask for my hand in marriage like he wants to do. Should he make it through my family's trials, it will be granted without further trouble." Karesh explained.

[The Floor Kippers]

"I have a rather nasty feeling whoever did this could well be under our very noses in day to day life," Thomas said.
....
"Well, there's no time like the present," William said, a determined look on his face.

[Warhaven]

"Let us return, and observe, events for awhile." Pachuco advised, and disappeared to do just that.

.....
"Are you sure? She'll need a day to get it set up properly." Karesh said.

[The Floor Kippers]

Thomas and Calufrax headed back home.
....
"Of course," William said, "Tomorrow then, or whenever she is ready."

[Warhaven]

Karesh stood, but Pondera held up a hand, as he walked off, himself.

Pachuco whirled up through the floor next to Sam, and updated him on the situation.

"This is beyond bad. I want the Time Wizards here immediately if not sooner, and other casters that can use Time Magic, including Gods, and Chron." Sam said.

"How can a Time Wizard get here sooner than immediately?" Nyx asked.

"Thomas explain it to her." Sam said, without looking for the Kipperese Master Mage of Time.

[The Floor Kippers]

"Well," Thomas said, having been home and then come back in time to answer Nyx, "Simple, by arriving before the order is given."

"He's right," Calufrax said, coming out of the wardrobe.

[Warhaven]

"We need as powerful a Temporal Shield around the Mini-verse as can be constructed, by her actions, she has control over time, and can stop it at whim, thanks to Father Time, Chron or no Chron filling in. And even if that's overestimating things, she can still put us at a severe disadvantage using Father Time. I don't know why she simply retreated, but she did, and that gives us a chance to cover our backsides. Analyze the Time Stream, make sure its all in order, and she hasn't lain a trap." Sam said.

which it was in order, and she hadn't, curiously.
