Bottled Time

[MadeOfMilk]

Hmmmm, colors, colors, colors....

Madelyn closes her eyes, spins around and heads to whichever portal she points to, which happens to be > The grey portal

THE BLUE RIFT:

Cool Sendri pulls out their phone and begins typing, and taking photos of the area. Including many, really cool selfies. Time travel. Cool as fuck.

As they continue to examine the area, the sunny skies, the sandy beaches along the port, the crystal blue waters of the island...that water feels so familiar. They take a deep breath. No. You are cool. You are collected. You are the one who broke free of the clutches of that evil space dictator without even a scratch, lightheartedly even joking about it and them. Nothing can stop you. At all.

Ignore your shakey hands. Ignore how the bar reminds you so much of that one that was there when you were forced to avenge your fellow prisioners. Ignore how much those human pirates remind you so much of your just as cool friends joyriding through the star systems, once out of joy and then out of fear for yet another one of them being captured by those fat pigs in charge.

Cool Sendri records the information for the Ministry to know. Earth. Carribean port city. Golden age of piracy. Then, they take a closer look at the area around them, to get more information.

>examine that bar further.

[Oggy123]

"Ok. But i never introduced myself! I'm Adobe Flash!"
> Enter the pink portal

[TalesofUnder]

>Brown Portal

Eri finds herself in a Wild West town, with all the usual stereotypes that that implies: abandoned mine, train tracks, water tower, saloon... pharmacy? Yeah, that's all the Western stereotypes you can see just within ten seconds of entering the place.

...and did I just apply an action to one of the hosts? Whatever. It's not like they're investigating a crime scene or anything.

>Grey/pink portals

Yeah, Madelyn and Adobe Flash pretty much end up where EJL and Reisen, respectively, are.

>Investigate the bar further
Cool Sendri enters the bar in the most radical way they can think of, which is SKATEBOARDING! Inside, they find a bunch of pirates, barely glancing at Cool Sendri before returning to their mugs of rum. They all look pretty dangerous, although some of them do have a pretty kickass parrot. There's also a bar, obviously.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Hey, Madelyn! Care to explore the Colliseum with me?

> explore Colliseum

[Oggy123]

"Oh, cool technology! Just the place for me!"

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

What the...

Reisen is struck aback by how much the futuristic city looks similar to the Lunar Capital...

[Dookie]

”So uh...”

“Castle!!!”

> Investigate through the castle

[Oggy123]

Flash then spots Reisen.
"Hi there. Who are you? I'm Adobe Flash, the most crucial computer program!"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Parrots, huh? Cool Sendri had to mention that to that Madelyn girl! She had a cool, large parrot as well! Maybe they'd all get along.

>attempt to get a drink. for sampling

[MadeOfMilk]

Sure, why not? Madelyn shrugs, as Jeffrey lets out an inquisitive Beep?

> Coliseum, baybay!

[Huney]

Hmm... It's been a while since she's seen so many burninated peasants...

Olivia approaches the first peasant she sees on fire.

"Sir, excuse me. You appear to be on fire."

[TalesofUnder]

>Investigate the Coliseum

EJL and Madelyn decide to peek into the Coliseum, and... oh jesus. Inside is carnage I don't feel like describing here, but suffice to say that there's a lot of blood, a lot of limbs flying off, and a lot of lions.

>Investigate the Japanese Castle

Alex and Eve enter the hallowed halls of the Shogun's castle, encountering elaborate and beautiful art all the way through, but then... a samurai spots them and stabs them both through the stomach like a shish kabob. But... wait, aren't they supposed to be dead? They just woke up back at the campsite, with no more permanent damage done to them than maybe a mild head injury.

Huh. Apparently, Time Cops can't actually die in these time periods. Good to know.

...Huh? What happened? Why did you suddenly appear here without coming out of the rift?

>How about a drink... for luck?

Cool Sendri steals a pirate's drink, narrowly dodges a cutlass to the head, and guzzles down the rum. AND...

...it isn't very good.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Reisen notices Flash back.

Oh... hey. The name's Reisen Udongein Inaba. Just call me Reisen for short.

[Oggy123]

"Well hi, Reisen! Cool place, huh!"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Man, this shit sucks. Maybe one of the others will like it.

Cool Sendri makes their way out of the bar, and heads back towards the rift.

>skateboard back into the rift

[TalesofUnder]

Ah, Cool Sendri! Alex! Eve! What have you found?

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Cool Sendri offers the ale to Nikei. THE BLUE RIFT SSEEMSS TO LEAD TO AN EARTH CARRIBEAN PORT CITY IN THE GOLDEN AGE OF PIRACY. FLORAN RETRIEVED THIS SSAMPLE FROM THE REGION. IT TASSTESS AWFUL. FLORAN DARESS YOU TO TRY IT.

[TalesofUnder]

I'm... not drinking that. But at least we know one of the time periods.

(Nikei makes a note to himself. “Blue Portal = Golden Age of Piracy” )

[SapphireStarblazer]

"Ancient what?" Roxy asked before she lost Alex and Eve doing their own thing. She in response gave off a disappointed sigh, exploring the castle on her own.

>Do that. Explore the castle myself.

[Billy5545]

After greeting Adobe Flash and putting on the appropriate clothing to protect himself from sunlight, Dio finally chooses the yellow portal.

[PointMaid]

Brain, finally deciding to do what they were told to do and go through a portal, notes that nobody but Eri seems to have taken the brown portal, and she seems to be a... supervisor, he supposes. So he grabs Pinky (who was staring in awe at the array of portals) and

> Steps through the brown portal

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Well.... that was quite the sight. I'll just say it definitely lives up to the hype.

> explore emperor's palace

[Dookie]

Ah, Cool Sendri! Alex! Eve! What have you found?

”So the red Portal is this Japanese castle with ninjas.”

”And...we got stabbed and died.”

> Go to pink Portal

[Kennifer]

Well, the first thing Kennifer's going to do is take off the coat she's wearing and use it to shield herself from the sun. Much different weather in Egypt than in Siberia, after all. She figures she probably won't be able to stay terribly long because of the desert weather, but while she's here she will...
