Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAmpzbNzv0hL
Sorry for the sudden teleport back home! Something came up and I didn't want you guys to get involved. Once you get a chance, it's imperative that you come back later. Be safe!
~Verna
351Please respect copyright.PENANAbFcThf9bRJ
"...Okay.." she slips into her coat pocket. Suddenly, a knock on the door. Trudging with a slight limp through her still unfinished apartment, she opens the door. Talia, was on the other side, smiling at her.
351Please respect copyright.PENANArSA6Q7VEmO
"Oh. Hey Tal."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAKy0Mpvv3nf
"Hi hi!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAmUgTsz24US
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAtFUPmGGjc1
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAtoPqlx5VzG
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAmTkEx7Ab5b
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAJamVpvsUZw
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAGdZctMi99L
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAFfMuwd2BYp
"...What?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAQEEfjWXxvy
"There's...a burn on your leg."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAxw4N7oNLNo
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA78x43RDjAa
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAGQALkKeRiU
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAlRIn6IrRDi
"It just...feels like you're hiding something from me..." Talia puts a gentle hand on Catherine's shoulder. "Is there something you need to get off of your chest?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAKiasdAcOgX
"...I'm fine, I told you."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAR3gvD9I47g
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAL5FfR2UxVL
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAS3zU3RjBhs
"So, there is something wrong?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAs2PJCZEjMS
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAsxgSX2sbvi
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAX9Q2fBSXhT
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAZbhc68zGyT
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAJidNv6EKU6
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
351Please respect copyright.PENANACJlEbYqyP4
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAp2SCTYZx3T
"...A what?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAF9OLE0Xi7F
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAkhsYVmtjwl
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAP9zA7o2WCx
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAtn0QNWTH4U
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANARRTSTA5UrR
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAmHov1xbFVc
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA2e86XwJ9vJ
"Oh..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAqryjX8DEuf
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAqU4xZOdbEQ
A strong breeze of wind dashes past them. A dazzling blue light begins to form. Talia, wide-eyed, watches as the time warp opens up for Catherine to jump into.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA4noVgmNXAW
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA9UdU788FBL
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAib0PpoHtMd
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAbTprEBuzGm
"Tal! What the hell?!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAtsUoitKSb2
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAQrBmyA1ILz
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAeNvirH2ix4
"Hello again...Catherine..." Nathaniel makes himself known, not far behind from where they were standing. "And might thou be?"
He looks towards Talia with less hostility.
351Please respect copyright.PENANApuiRdXZvvw
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAvggNv0YbnM
"Uhm...Talia?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANApIWUxi4eWT
Talia didn't respond. She was too focused on his face to. Catherine snaps her fingers in front of her face, trying to wake her up.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAbt98FNsSvK
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAIn5pu6NxpL
"I know...just don't mind her.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAErNhSIZMQj
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAjHvYbSiznC
"Is that what we're calling it?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANACYXRqGsnOk
"For now.." He walks off.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAET94snf6s4
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAQgh6DB9Qww
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAo7eP9atV6v
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAyWULCY8w1a
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAZduFRLAS8w
"Tal!" Catherine places both of her hands on her face and forces her to look at her.
"I'm serious! Don't tell a damn soul!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ2X3MuzUI
"Okay! Jeez.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAVNviIXOfyS
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAVfYjJcTAS1
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA7c5A4d9YWJ
"See you tomorrow?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANA1OOZoHXKnx
"Maybe..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAXPRrTGZaLm
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAvartdq7BQY
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANA56TyiJhUdD
"I'm coming.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAfJtIIcH4XF
The duo makes it to the sanctuary, where the other half of the Prodigies, Isabelle, Ezra and Arsenio, were chatting with each other. Their conversation was put on hold when Catherine and Nathaniel walked in.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAQSOfewdFUS
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAD2TaUYyD0R
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAp7Db7qNNdL
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA2eTyv0ISW9
"...What are we talking about?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAD0Xo3FTjdt
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAJxPOAOxY1m
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAEvtHYSoVUB
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAKZtUFtwS63
"I'm pretty sure I took every single one out. It might be something on the inside that prevents someone from taking it off by disassembly."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAgPuZ5FNcKH
"Prodigies!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANA8KEHnPggdA
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
351Please respect copyright.PENANADBW79R7Urg
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANASb1lRJ4hl0
"And?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAxGgsscOCXW
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAuYSBAheI6z
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAx2ngctO5r9
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAxLimDMUF06
"Catherine!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAjsG90dSTdO
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAYScVvriGXt
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAPpgNKpvxXD
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAk2vPSKsMsA
All eyes were on her.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAMPJSdCQCbF
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA3yIsmzLsKI
"Well then, hurry! I managed to pinpoint the dimension's location and I don't know when a Timebreaker will appear.." Verna turns to Ezra. "You have to stay here, for your safety."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAdGjZ3sknt4
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA4Q6YgN7nRX
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAGRqerfAwJF
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAelxfL9fs2b
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAreuv0UzmQ7
On the other side, another Timebreaker was already starting to terrorize Talia. Its arm, covered in vines and flowers, hand and tree-like fingers gripped onto Talia with relative ease.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAnw6GcOaSBu
"Talia!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAS1GZ737NPX
"Catherine! H-Help!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANArvnh1vgIoX
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAcC048KIeVR
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
351Please respect copyright.PENANACP3BpD9wku
"Catherine, distract her..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANADk8ss4Ntdb
"Why do I have to?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAcckulBF6Up
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA0d5h9Axwrd
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
351Please respect copyright.PENANAF6OidgT3WX
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAw8awcpYoPr
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAQP0G0PiJL3
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAlaQJSKy7mO
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAVWKcFjKmDF
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAHUbmZBOO99
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAIb0ESShfgH
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAT4VMQSTOOI
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAmNFpreGwlI
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
351Please respect copyright.PENANAETp7YpWJU6
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
351Please respect copyright.PENANADUidDaXodE
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAgYF50uEx3Q
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA9ggJsLvbKR
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAUFeBtwIVwT
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
351Please respect copyright.PENANAshQtSbMfX1
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAPVFS9oA44r
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAsQFk4iOV4c
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANATiWVsBaB1N
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAYEXEXziHyq
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAaAw3BqEWV0
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAtDBZ6ofxsn
As for Arsenio...he ran straight for Isabelle. But as Nathaniel was trying to kill Catherine where she stood, he tried to... cuddle with her?
351Please respect copyright.PENANAQeHs8QA7vi
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANADcMp8Td99X
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAajtvgGsVBV
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA8qF6QvSLMs
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAdQWG78lSoG
"Verna! A little help here?!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANA8fVwDEYE3W
Verna appears and clears her throat...
351Please respect copyright.PENANAuFzMPE48QL
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAJ04m5iucWC
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
351Please respect copyright.PENANAs6s5XcgQbU
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAgPRBTikTCG
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAPzwFr4Xws7
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAV80HbPJva8
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAjHKunmnTkx
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANA70zT7WZyLx
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAZTls6uCxQb
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANALsAi9mFH8P
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAHVayiIbaSG
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA1izarWiCDC
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAJgWlnsJNXy
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAL3BmtRJuoZ
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAwdlTdls9Km
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
351Please respect copyright.PENANASgIb8Y2w7O
"Hah! Dumbass!" While he's still running towards her, Catherine holds a leg out and trips him. He immediately falls face first into the ground.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZRtmKU0OZ
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAcKlFu5lUDh
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANA2pQb1gILPd
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
351Please respect copyright.PENANALPFaCqJgZZ
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA9XvLGP3K5J
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
351Please respect copyright.PENANANxZT6hmzQV
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA71ihUsFBRd
No matter how much she tried to negotiate, it didn't seem like he was switching back to normal. With an arm raised, he swiftly jabs down. Catherine just managed to move out of his attack.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAXMSghVdSkR
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAvKaW1kgEBY
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAvJuC4nbZNC
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
351Please respect copyright.PENANATd8z5ZEPfp
"Boop." She said playfully.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAOCSJVOgIwG
"What did you just..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA9Hh3cswyEy
His face scrunches up.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAeQkNUa36gy
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAkiytNCylrp
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAuOemYMO7tK
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAigoHoqImzs
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAQoS8zXGbYy
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAOeH3rtn6VE
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANA5RYtSXrc0w
"Has thou tried struggling?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANACaNIF5RSga
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAEcs35qypQ2
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAHdBv7G9Ywb
"H-hm?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAj3zxvwKxwb
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAc0uJ6tUevK
"A-Arsenio..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA6dBCXnfKHE
"Mhm?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAqxbrPknyjR
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA6mEu7ASHMO
"Aww..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANANDON0to3LK
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAKz4yfupZO7
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANARrA4ukJ9O5
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAyx4WWyVL3E
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
351Please respect copyright.PENANAP6uSXQrsS7
"Alright, no one snuggles with Izzy and gets away with it!" Dawlly said angrily. With a strong tug of the thread, Isabelle's expression grew to anger. Large amounts of thread spilled from every inch of her body to wrap around Arsenio's arms.
351Please respect copyright.PENANATMD904hmVy
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANA6g3ZojIshP
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAv4d7VclsWr
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAdf846J0yvf
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAGUHtTodaOt
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAGJKzUfRUtE
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAQizK2oFx3B
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAyAldld8H1r
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAMfYoLuTl9H
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAyu2wQbAntq
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAf7O2EIkR0X
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA68WELZn1rv
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAtEs0VblM5E
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA37R8MYEghc
"Yeah yeah..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANApB5E9CCuow
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA1jp52Yf51c
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAhaqFtCsYRE
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAmlGiPrTH8K
"...If you so desire."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAzUVuGIPqRb
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAdYRdHn1Gfi
"...H-Hi..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA4aDwCss6nH
"Catherine. Take her home."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA7S9umDfEax
"I've got it this time, I swear."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1UepK0ny6
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAP3mfNj13Iz
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAsB0TXqmfC2
"Uhhh.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAj1fq0Gvpwq
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAVb9jrtATJV
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAdLLKsKoCBR
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAH5lUrPMaaP
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA4piBtsr2VB
"...Come back every once in a while, okay?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAMclpsNkXsM
"Alright! Get out of here, before something else comes here!"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAEJnVP2lVJq
"Okay! Okay!" Talia pulls herself off and walks into the time warp. It then closes.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAq9b9R0dGT2
"Prodigies. Before you go." Venus' voice was very soft but stern. "There is something I must tell you."
351Please respect copyright.PENANA9NvQScGabP
"Yeah? What is it?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAZPiIR9hwWO
"...Something or someone is doing this to us. Turning us...into these monsters. I'm just breaking from the trance, but I only have a little time...Pierrot and the other Timebreakers. We were all Prodigious like you. Something overtook us. Be careful, because if you see it...it is too late for you.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAkdqDrOPHk0
A time warp appears behind Venus, she drags herself through it, never to be seen again.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAZWTwzuqvG7
"...Nate, you know the most Prodigy stuff out of all of us. What was she talking about? What is that it?"
351Please respect copyright.PENANAJiTC3UDbml
"I am...not quite sure myself. What or whoever it is, however, they are pure evil.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAUb626vZcyD
"Catherine. Nathaniel. A-Arsenio's back to normal...I-I think..."

"He better be!" Dawlly adds. "I won't hesitate to make her cut him open!"

Muffled by the amount of thread covering his mouth, Arsenio responds. "I think I'm okay...just a little confused on how I got in this situation.."

Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAwc6fE2kuLd
"Yeah, let's not. Whatever I did must've been really uncomfortable, so I'd like to apologize...as soon as I'm let go."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAUqmNpSH3Tg
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.

Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAHUoIoeKLfP
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAkqJ4l3GIR1
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAw5chhOoFH8
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAuyjG7kl1vt
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."

Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."

"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.

"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.

Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.

"E-Ezra, we're back.."
351Please respect copyright.PENANAOTONq2KKgf
"Welcome back. I made some food for us, I'm sure you four are hungry after the adventure you've had."

She places a lavish meal in front of them, which the Prodigies promptly ate. After chatting a bit and some quiet time, the Prodigies all fell asleep in their appropriate beds. Except for Catherine, of course.

Something was keeping her up. Not her writing notebook, but an itchy pain on her neck. Maybe she had an allergic reaction to the pollen after all...
