a young group of college students from a highly prestigious un
iversity have a secret project together. although they're young,
dumb, and act like fools, they're highly intelligent. well, most
of them. anyways, their secret project? a time machine. while
most of them didn't believe in themselves, they continued to s
lave away at the project. but one night, when one of them wa
s dinking around, trying to mess with the modes, it set off the
machine, sucking people from all different times in the univer
se into their timeline. now, the college students are stuck tryi
ng to fix what they broke, trying to get the stolen people back
to their correct timelines. but what happens when the machin
e explodes, resetting their research? or better yet, when they
don't know if they want to go back? ...............................

( robin lee ) ( the youngest ) ( tags; maddox ) ( mentions; ezra, maddox, ash, malachi )

it was nearing midnight , everyone was asleep, or almost asleep. it was a tiring night, especially after what had gone on the whole time. with drinks robin wasn't allowed to touch even though it was his damn birthday, and stupid games that kept them up all night. robin knew they were up since seven am doing the dumbest things, whether it's just going to the park to have a picnic or skipping class to work on their stupid machine because robin was in the mood to do some tinkering.

yeah, their machine.

the stupid machine the friend group had been working on for months. ever since malachi decided it would be fun to work on something that seemed impossible, even those that weren't interested in science ended up working on the machine. it became something the friend group worked super hard on, worked enough to get everything done. even though robin was starting to even lose faith that the machine was going to work, it didn't stop him from working on it as much as he could.

it was a time machine. a lot of people made fun of them and laughed at them for what they were working on, a lot of them didn't believe in the group. hell, even robin had his doubts at times. but that never stopped them, it never stopped them from working on the machine. it never faltered their excitement or their energy. they always worked on it as hard as they could, and they never stopped. there had been times it almost worked, where it turned on and something appeared behind them, but it would always short circuit before anything actually worked. which sometimes could bring down moral, but at least someone always knew what to say if that happened. someone knew what to do to make them feel better. it always worked.

robin was in charge of notes and some mathematics. he wasn't the best at math, but he wasn't bad. he knew what he was doing most of the time, but sometimes he did get a hiccup in it. but it was never something no one could get past. they all worked together and helped each other, they were a good team.

biting on his bottom lip, robin only sighed as he heard noises coming from the garage. god, if the machine was malfunctioning one more time, robin was going to throw hands with someone. he hated when the machine randomly malfunctioned and set them back a few paces - it wasn't anything that was impossible to get past, but it was definitely annoying to deal with.

opening the door to the garage slowly, robin only raised a brow as he saw a familiar figure tinkering on the machine. "whatcha doing?" he asked quietly, leaning against the door frame, his arms crossed against his chest. seeing ash tinkering alone wasn't surprising - the dude was always doing something to cause chaos or mischief. but it made him fun to be around - at least, to robin, he was. chaos was fun to be around, it was fun to deal with. breaking things for fun, messing with things and people to get a laugh, hell, even something as stupid as vandalism got robin excited. he was easily a troublemaker- often causing maddox a lot of grief and stress when he has to hear about what robin did this time. but did it ever stop him?

absolutely not.

watching ash tinker some more, robin only rolled his eyes. "if you break it, i bet they're not gonna forgive you. unless you somehow blame it on the machine doing it itself. or wait- are you the one that makes it short circuit sometimes?" he scoffed, shaking his head before running his hand through his light blond hair. "man , i bet its never been broken by itself, now i'm thinking it was just you." robin teased, scratching the back of his neck before his eyes focused on something behind him. it looked like the machine was sparking blue. it was starting itself up- or maybe ash turned it on by itself? furrowing his eyebrows, robin held out his hand to ash- "hey, uhm, turn off the machine and lets go to bed. it doesn't look like it's working," he said quietly, worry dripping from his voice.

suddenly, the machine behind him starting shaking uncontrollably. almost like there something inside that was begging to come out, something trying to break out of it. "ash!" he yelled, his eyebrows furrowing with worry before he moved forward quickly to grab him and pull him back. and the moment they were both at the door frame- a bright flash filled the room, blinding robin. he couldn't see anything - it burned his eyes to look. rubbing his eyes and keeping them closed until the light died down, the moment robin opened his eyes, his jaw dropped nearly to the floor.

a group of people he had never seen before - some dressed extravagantly, some dressed casually. some squeaky clean, some looking dirty, like they just came back from an explosion. one looked at robin - looked straight at him.

he almost fainted.


------

pushing himself up from the couch he was laying on, robin sighed. rubbing his eyes gently, robin grabbed the blanket that was laid over him and pushed it off until it was just around his lap as he sat up. his eyes slowly adjusting to the lights around him, robin looked at the clock with a small sigh following . it was three twenty five in the morning. why were they up so early? all robin could remember was the moment after he saw a group of people appear in his garage, and after the group woke up, someone handed him a blanket and robin ended up passing out on the couch, at the almost immediate moment his head hit the couch pillow.

the moment his gaze started searching the room - the memory immediately hit him as he stared at a male with a shiny crown in his hands. he looked at it almost sadly. what happened? robin rubbed his eyes again before he looked around the room for a certain someone. someone to pinch him. because god, robin thought he was dreaming. there was no way in hell he wasn't - no way in hell what was going on was real life. it couldn't have been.

if it was, it meant the machine was working. or well, worked at least. maybe not the way they wanted it to work, but it still worked anyways. running his hand through his hair, robin pushed himself up from the couch and wrapped his blanket around his shoulders. walking towards the garage slowly as he avoided everyone around him, he looked at the machine curiously. it was blackened. different from the usual silver gray, it was completely black, and the top looked like it was blown off. was the machine even going to work after that? were they going to have to start from scratch? they had the notes for it , they had the notes to rebuild hopefully - but robin didn't want to have to work for that many months again.

god, he was going to strangle the hell out of ash.

turning around to spin on his heel - robin found himself beelining towards maddox, immediately wrapping his blanket around the male and hugging him gently, his head resting on the crook of his neck. "i'm stressed out. hug me back," he muttered, his arms tightening around his chest as he pressed his face into his neck quietly. "do you know what's going on? why there's a group of strangers are in the house and where ash is? i want to kill him."

Date: The Year of Our Lord 1487, 14th of August, Moonhigh
Entry 356
The moon's face doth shine fair and radiant tonight above the trees. I am most senior here amongst the guards of this caravan and so volunteered my person for the middle-watch, as I have done for several nights. We are a fortnight out from the estate of my good Lord Arvel and making good time; no trouble has bestirred itself, and both the merchants and beasts of burden are in high spirits. Nothing of note to report. We shall arrive in a few days' time, should the Lord's blessing continue to hold. Praise be to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph for conveying us safely thus far.

Catalina finished penning her latest entry in her notebook, then set down her quill with a sigh. Though her entry had nothing but praise for their good fortune as of yet, in truth it had been rather dull and tiring. Though she would never wish for an ambush- she had had enough of killing and bloodshed for a lifetime from the War of the Roses, all for titles and prestige that meant nothing to the common folk- she had traveled to many new places and met many exotic people of different nations, the likes of which she had never seen before. This route was the same tired foot-track she had escorted merchants on many times before, and it was very rare that she was actually needed to help, meaning that she usually ended up fatigued and with saddle sores for no apparent reason. Nevertheless, they were transporting valuable silks, and should an attack occur, Lord Arvel- she couldn't help but smirk at the thought- would lose a sizable chunk of funds that he had invested in it. She was eternally grateful for his support and trust in her, so she would never outright complain, but in her head, only herself and- perhaps- the Holy Spirit could hear.

As she gazed out into the dark trees, idly sucking the ink from her fingers, a sudden, bright flash of blue light sprung into being between the trees. Her brow furrowed, and her hand immediately went to her blade, resting on the ground beside her, and belted it to her chest. What is that? What a strange light... the color reminds me of a will-o-the-wisp, but this is no swamp. There should be not a soul nearby! Quietly, to muffle the clank of her armor, she rose to her feet, hand around the leather-wrapped handle of her blade. One careful step at a time, she crept closer to the flickering, unstable light. The closer she got, though, the stranger it seemed, until at last she stopped in place, dumbfounded; the light appeared to be a mirror, hanging in the air, reflecting not the darkened trees around her, but an utterly strange place, with several unidentifiable silhouettes. Her heart began to race. What...? What foul sorcery is this?! I thought that witchery was a tale for children, but... is this the work of a sorceress? The fae? Should I call the others? No, they're a superstitious lot, they think me unnatural, they might think this is my doing... Think, think, what did you read about magic as a child? Ah! That's right, cold iron dispels magic! This blade isn't cold iron, but it's the next best thing... Slowly, to muffle the ring of metal on metal, she drew her blade from its scabbard, hesitated, then thrust it at the pool in the air. At once, blue lightning crackled up the blade, engulfing her in a flash of light. She shouted once, in surprise and fear, and then with a sickening wrench, everything went dark.

─────────────────────────────────────────────────

"Ah!"

Catalina's feet slammed into the ground, and she stumbled through... what? What was it? It felt like the doorway of some small, enclosed metal box. A coffin? Whatever it was, she felt sick, she had a pounding headache, and she was thoroughly dizzy. Was I drugged? No, I remember now, there was that... pool, in the air? Magic! Real magic! And it was used on me! Suppressing the urge to vomit, her vision swimming, she leaned weakly against the metal... thing... and closed her eyes, breathing slowly in and out as she gained her bearings. Around her was the scuff and shuffle of many feet- it sounded like there were others emerging from the same metal coffin she had come through. Her eyes snapped open, and she looked around at the others, only to see... a sight that confused her even further. To her unfamiliar eyes, the people that surrounded her almost all appeared to be of the imperial nation of Cathay, a nation she knew of only as the source of expensive and valuable silks and spices, and yet they were all dressed strangely- some in clothing more familiar, and some in outfits utterly alien to her. Some of their outfits seemed rich and opulent, others commoner-plain, and many were shockingly immodest. I'm... so confused... these people seem to have gotten here the same way I have, though, so they do not seem to be at fault, and I suppose they must dress that way in Cathay...

Her heart racing with confusion, fear, and anger, she turned her attention to the two that had been here since the start- the silhouettes she had seen through the mirror-pool in the air- and, without hesitation, drew her blade and pointed it at them, though she stayed where she was, a few feet away. As she did so, one of the two men seemingly crumpled to the ground in a faint. She smiled in a grim sort of fashion, satisfied that her threat had apparently had such an effect, then began to speak harshly to the other. I need answers, and these strangely-dressed people seem to be responsible for what just happened! "What is this foul sorcery? Whither have thou cowardly dogs brought me?" she snarled. "What are thy intentions with my-" she glanced back at the other strangers, then amended- "our- persons?! If thou lily-livered fools bring us here to kidnap us with sorcery, thou shall find that this blade is for far more than show!"
