Stumbling Through Centuries

A fog begins to clear from your mind as you look around. There are no restraints but you are unable to move for an unknown reason. Everything appears familiar as you gaze around you. The room looks almost like home...Almost.

You feel a tingling as the feeling begins returning to your body. Sitting up you gaze down at your clothes. You remember putting them on just before everything went black. You can't help but notice they are oddly dusty..
toward

Looking around more of the room you see famiiar looking r food, However apon biting into a piece you spit it out in revulsion. It's definately not real food.

Sitting back down your mind wanders. The last thing you can remember is...is...is...your mind is a blank.to the last day except having noticed an unusually large storm for the time of the year. The daze overwhelms you until suddenly an oddly dressed figure races past your line of vision, yelling loudly to someone ahead of him. Listening you hear an unfamiliar language, but slowly the words begin to make sense.

"Sir! Sir! .The status chambers....the exhibits are waking up. The last time portal glitch sent the generator into ancient Egypt!... and theya re just getting bigger and stronger by the minute. We have to something before Atlantis is sent to every part of the world and time.."

Stepping out of your "room" you are greeted by people from your history....and your future! A voice begins to speak from all around you.
"Welcome to the Atlantian Earth History Musuem. Here you will be able to observe people from all over Earth in their natural environments from ancient times to the present. Feel free to access the terminals located in front of each exhibit for a brief historical summery""

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Okay, basically you create a character from a historical time period. The character can be from any time there is comprehensible speech (no "ugh me caveman") from any continent in the world.

The character cannot be an already famous historical figure.

You were taken in full dress and with whatever your weapon of choice was for your time period ie. Medieval: sword, bow, etc or American Revolutionary War Solider: bayonnett and one shot rifle. You will not gain access to any advanced weaponry before the time shift.

After an initial meeting of all the RPers and the couple of Atlantis NPCs I will instigate the first major time portal sending you...wherever the next RPer who posts choses. Every 25 posts the portal can reopen, every 50 post it WILL reopen for another time period. Your characters are on their own to do as they wish and get themselves into whatever trouble they can.

Character Profile:

Name:
Age:
Sex:
Time period of Origin:
Country of Origin:
Weapon:
Anything else you wish you add:


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THE RULES ( Sorry, had to be a few)
1.The time period portal cannot be opened until there have been 25 posts.
2.The time period portal MUST be opened when there have been 50 posts.
3. RPers can only decide the portals new location every other time shift.
4.You can chose any year in HUMAN HISTORY anywhere on EARTH.
5.Nothing can be taken from one time period to the next that the RPer did not have originally.
6.The future can be changed from past events but must be historically logical.
7.You cannot contact your character's past self.
8.All RPers are automatically transported to the new time period. No one is left behind.
9. If killed, the RPers will return to Atlantis until the next time shift.

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Name: Herr Deterick Lans
Age: 34 going on 21
Sex: Male
Time period of Origin: Renaissance Europe
Country of Origin: Germany
Weapon: None, well...
Anything else you wish you add: A mathematican and chemist, Herr Deterick has burned his eyebrows working alongside some of the more famous scientists of the age, and his claim to fame is his signed da vinci sketch in his study. Still. He specialises in making explosives from blackpowder, and anything else you care to add. His skills for proof often show he shouldn't mix things, but he does anyway.... This is liable to get him killed some day....

*

Deterick slumps forward, and looks at what's left of his lab, the back half. Collecting what look to be the contents of a medical tool bag, and consequently the bag itself, he starts putting anything useful into it. Coming out of his 'looting' spree, he discovers very little, except the biological equipment. Clambering free of his chamber, he looks at the plaque:
"An italian biologist hard at work during 18th century scientific revolution."
Looking furious he turns and storms toward the other exibits.
"A Biologist indeed! How dare they! [in remarkably fulent english :|]

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Name: Kohkahycumest
Age: 17
Sex: Male
Time period of Origin: 1684ad
Country of Origin: North America
Weapon:
Lightly ornamented iron tomahawk. Short belt knife.
Anything else you wish you add: Nothing particularly noteworthy, a few pouches of medicinal herbs. A nearly empty waterskin.

-------------------------------------------------------

White crow stared in amazement at his surroundings. This was his fourth vision quest since he had come of age and it was the first time anything unusual had occurred. His two brothers, twins, both a year younger than him had described panoplies of colour and of great talking animals after their coming of age quest a year ago. The shamans and chief had listened almost wearily then given them their spirit names and sent them away. Still their haphazard collection of distorted senses were nothing compared to this smooth-walled cave.

His blue eye, by which he had been marked to become a shaman and been given his first name sparkled with unabated curiosity. Carefully he skulked, feet padding silently towards a doorway from which he heard speaking in the language of the ve'ho'e, the white man, which he had learnt from some missionaries who had visited his village when he was young.

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Name: Incom "Bakan" Morgan
Age: 21
Sex: Male
Time period of Origin: 1971
Country of Origin: North America - (Last known location: Laos)
Weapon/Equipment:(info stolen from: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/vietnam...s/weapons.html)
  • M16 Rifle
  • Mark 2 anti-personnel hand-rifle grenade
  • 9mm Pistol
  • Combat Knife

History: About to go into college for a degree in engineering, Incom Morgan was drafted. His attempted to get out of it via legal means failed, mostly due to paperwork error on the Army end, and his parents, who were die hard for the war not helping at all, and thus in 1970, he was shipping over to Vietnam. His unit was underequiped for the environment, and thus had to improvise. What engineering education Incom had was put to use in tweaking his unit's gear. During the invasion of Laos, his unit was cut off, and believed to be killed.

Present: Screaming, Incom "Bakan" Morgan leaped forward at the Vietcong, his M16 rifle firing it's last bullets at them, who had ambushed his unit, killing most of them with a surprise motar attack. As lightning clashed overhead, Incom closed his eyes as the rain drove into his face as he rushed forward and leaped, waiting for the enemy bullets to tear into his body. However, as he opened his eyes, Incom saw instead of the damn jungle, a oddly shiny floor rushing towards him to meet him in a painful embrace. Grunting and swearing quite loudly, he pushes himself up and looks around. Eyes widening at the room, which looked like something out of "Star Trek", he saw others moving about, one looking like a Indian, another dressed strangely, another who appeared to be a soldier out of a history book, and what appeared to be someone out of a medival history book.

"What the f*ck is going on here? Where is my d*mn unit? Where the hell is the jungle?"

OOC DAMN YOU SERENE for making a thread that interests me :-p

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Name: Captain Eric "Zorro" Drake
Age: 20
Sex: M
Time period of Origin: Spring 1942
Country of Origin: United States
Weapon: Officer issue Colt .45 (holds 7 rounds in clip and one in chamber)

History As an officer and pilot in the U.S. army during WWII, Zorro was among those who volunteered to help the RAF defend Britain against the Germans "Operation Sea Lion". The British had the advantage of radar on their side, but the Germans superior numbers and aircraft were overwhelming. After graduating officer flight school, as was the custom, his flight squad gave each other nicknames. Eric was dubbed "Zorro", meaning "fox", because of his ability to get behind enemy fighters to shoot them down. Zorro was in the midst of helping the RAF with a wave of German fighters when a storm began to develop. The weather became unusually strong and as the Germans backed off, Zorro turned to head back with the RAF. A blinding flash of light and a loud clap indicated to him he had been hit by lightning, but as his eyes readjusted, he realized he was not in his plane anymore at all.



Still wearing his flight suit, his gun holstered at his side, Zorro realizes he seems to be without his supply pack, which would have gone with him had he ejected from his plane. Seeing as how he didn't eject, where was he? Had he died? Dead men needed no guns, but for some reason he had his, albeit no extra ammo. Cautiously, he steps out of the room he was in and into the main room, looking for anything that might indicate where he was.

EDIT: Last name from temporary spur of the moment Bond to Drake

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Name: captain Patrick... uh, somebody
Age: 33
Sex: M
Time period: mid march 1812
Nationality: Irland
weapon: half inch, 7 barreled navel gun, baker rifle, claymore

Patrick stood cold wet and miserble under what meager shelter there was to find from the deluge, it had been like this for days, a constant heavy rain that lashed at the men of the british army, they had been there for a couple days, at the fortress of Badajoz, the captain looked out to the trenches being dug into the san miguel hill and shivered. damn the weather, damn the frogs and damn the bloody castle!. he knew that the general in charge of the army, lord wellington, would not wait long to begin the assault, as soon as the weather let up the cannon would begin hammering at the walls, as he peered out, he noticed something, something moving beyond the trenches and becoming worried he walked at a fast pace out to the lines, as the french began their attack the storm suddenly picked up the tempo and lightning flickered across the sky, glinting off sharpened bayonetts and wet muskets held in the hands of blue coated infantry, Patrick shouted a warning and drew his sword, just then the storm descided that he would make and exelent lightning rod and jumped on the opprotunity

Patrick woke up and first wondered why he wasnt completely waterlogged, then opening his eyes he sat up and, swearing fluently and at length he gets up and looks over to the nearest person and askes

what the hell is going on? where is this place?

Go ahead and interact ppl. I'm not going to hold your hand :P


Madcat could you please explain to me why a 1812 irish captain in the Napolionic Wars has a scottish sword when most officers had sabers and a navel gun when they had pistols that were rarely used?

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

ooc- ok, sword: picked up from a dead scotsman. navel gun: present from a friend, and used because of two things, it sounds like a small cannon and is that much more powerful than a normal pistol (not for use in normal battle field conditions). and just so that everything makes a bit more sense, this guy is not meant to be a "normal" officer, meaning he was promoted from the ranks. i guess i should have added that into the anything else doey, but didnt think of it at the time, so sry -ooc

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Name: Stijn, "Fluffie"
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Time period of Origin: now (born 1986, taken from 2004)
Country of Origin: Netherlands damn right
Weapon: Eh.. I'm a nice guy that doesn't carry weapons so far. I'd probably shoot off my own feet if I did. I'll have my usual "a night out" gear on me though
Anything else you wish you add: Ehm..

[Edit 1: "History":
I'll be me. Good way to find out how quickly I'd die
I'm 18 years old, drugs and alcohol (ab)using, smoking, a lot uncaring about the world but caring about what interests me (which is friends/parents) etc.
Knows how to drive a car. A bit. Doesn't have license yet but has had some lessons.
Speaks Dutch and English. Bit of German and French.
Bla bla bla. Etc.

Edit 2: "Moment of extraction":
Walking home, alone, from someone else's home after a night out, including all the consuming and activities that the cool kids on the block do nowadays . Bad weather as described and poor Fluffie never got home.]


//

Looking around, the world had stopped shaking. Straightening his shirt and hat, he looks around... wondering, where the hell he had woken up. This wasn't home, this wasn't a mate's place. Pulling his mobile phone out of his pocket, he checked if he had any texts and more importantly, he checked if it was able to log on to any network.

[Now hold my hand and tell me if it logs on or not.. Probably not?]

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

No you can't get a signal. You are out of your range and time.

Also, No more present time "characters". The point of this is different historical viewpoints to situations.

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

[ooc] Sorry, shoulda assumed [/ooc]
Listening to the calm voice of the recording, Aleksandr felt his head spinning. Even though he knew that the voice wasn't speaking russian, he could understand it as plainly as if it were a native of his home town. But what this voice said was mad. The 1980's! But it was still the heart of a capitalist business. How could it have survived so long, if the glorious revolution had continued? Setting the question aside for now, he looked at the figure inside. They didn't appear to be awake, but thinking about it, the "natural habitat" explained the wall missing from his small rented room.
Suddenly hearing people shout, he whirled around, fumbling at his belt for his gun.
"Who is that?!"

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

I guess i didn't make it obvious enough. You can all speak your own language but there are universal translaters which stay with you when going to other times. Also there is a recorded message in front of each display., like the push buttons in many of our museums.

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

"Ah, I've seen your kind before! Skulking was a habit then too."

Deterick jestures to Kohkahycumest and shakes his head.

"Your damn unit sir, could quite possibly be somewhere else. I myself am intrigued by your... attire. Such things could be considered a rarity, especially in rome. Your weapons are equally intriguing. You seem somewhat overarmed for the situation, one could assume."

Looking at 'Bakan', Deterick fumbles in his bag, and after half a minute and a short sharp yelp, he removes a scalpel, and hands it to the man.

"You could do with making yourself more presentable. And find something clean. It's just uncouth."

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

*Looking at the man, Incom was shocked to hear him speak pasable english. More rather, it was a echo, he could hear the man speaking in a foreign, ancient form of english, yet to his mind, it was as if he was speaking with a mild accent. Stepping back, Incom smoothly replaced his empty clip of his M16 with a fresh one, and pointed at the man with the knife.*

"Stay..... stay back............ don't come any closer, otherwise I will send you to the next world, capiche!"

*Looking around in shock, Incom sees a small display in front of where he jumped from, which closely resembled a Vietnam jungle. On the display was a small note.*

[i]American Soldier Incom "Bakan" Morgan during the 1970's Vietnam Conflict.
Highly decorated during the war after volunteering for it and sacrificing his college career, Incom Morgan served with distinction. After the war however there were many accusations of his unit taking part in exterminating innocent civilians.[\I]

"Those...... lying.... bastards!"

*Aiming his M16, Bakan fires a burst into the display, causing it to spark and explode. Snarling, he lowers his rifle, attempting to hide the tremor in his hands.*

"Okay, where the hell are we. Who is posting these LIES about us!?!"

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Pressing random buttons in order to get a signal as he always tried, young Fluffie's head jolts up as he hears gunfire. Tucking his phone away again, he runs in the direction the gunfire is coming from, paying little attention to his surroundings. Dashing around the corner and sliding to a stop, he sees a soldier still aiming his weapon at what.. looks like.. a museum display. Surveying the scene a bit more he sees an oddly dressed fellow.

Rubbing the back of his head, Fluffie begins to realise he has no ****ing clue what's going on. Deciding to do one of the most sensible things, he begins searching his coat for smokes. Finding them and about to light one, he realises he's inside, not that he has any clue as to where he is inside of... Not knowing wether it's allowed or not, he asks. Better to keep things normal than to start wondering too much. Wondering caused headaches, headaches were bad.

"Excuse me... can I smoke in here?"

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

ooc - for the purpose of driving the thread on and clarifiyng the situations I have been given permission to be the museum curator. So we dont all end up in a mess here.

Name - Athiru
Age - ?
Sex - Male
Nationality - Atlantian
Weapon - Paralysis Gun
Rank - Museum Curator

History - Doesnt matter

Intro -

Pacing rapdily down the hall with a brisk step, simple robed garments covering a average height build. The sound of gunfire echo its way down the hallway from the exibits, letting of a sour scowl and leaving a sore dispasition in his wake. Coming upon the the various figures from history covnersiong amongst each others or exploring for themslves, some goign as far as using their prajectile guns in anger.
"I warned them about leaving those primative guns, they could of least removed any ammo for them to use."
Bantering to himself as though it where common practice, pacing over the the vietnam exibit frowning at its now bullet riddled antiquity. Ignroing the presence of the culprit for the time being, and the remarks of following some babaric ritual of inhaling smoke into oneself.

Hurrying across to one of the younger looking ones in a decrotive display of clothing (fluffie)
"Practice your harmfull habbits elsewhere, smoking is and shall never be allowed within these walls. There is more than enough trouble to deal with right now, consering a great amny things"
Taking a slow walk towards the armed soldier (bakan) making sure to step in close.
"Using your machine gun I beleive its called, will not help you here, calm yourself before you cause yourself some ahrm. You are no longer under any threat here as long as thigns remain as they are."

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

"I do believe you look better than I originally summised. Now don't be too rash with that thing."

Putting the scalpel back into his black bag, Deterick watches with horror as Bakan shoots the plaque infront of his 'display'. Being showered with sparks, Deterick steps back.

"And please, refrain from pointing that at me. It scares me a tremendous amount. As for lies, I too understand your feelings on the matter. I am no biologist I can assure you. I was studying in the university in rome, paying a visit to the curios in the Biological sciences section... And here I am. I think perhaps whoever put us here is writing those lies. Vent your anger at them, not me. My good man."

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

As Patrick frowns out at the rest of the people in the room he
processes what is happening and looks back at the little place he had
come out of, he read the plaque in front of it and found little of
interest, when the m16 went off he twitched in surprise instinctively
bringing up and cocking the seven barrelled gun that his hand had
unconsciously come to rest on and levelled it at the soldier in an odd
uniform

I'll ask you to not do that again

As his mind settled into the fact that something was wrong and he had
been placed into a wholly unimagined situation he started to fall back
into the mind-set of an officer

Now, two things, I want everyone to give me their name so that we at
least know who we are, and then I think we all had better start making
a collective effort to figure out just what the hell has happened.

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Zorro hears the unmistakeable sound of gun fire. Drawing his colt .45 he rushes in the direction it came from only to find a number of people standing around talking, one of them holding an odd looking gun. Seeing all the unarmed people around him, Zorro aims his pistol at the oddly dressed gun weilding maniac.

"Ok, nobody move till I get an explanation of what's going on here!"

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

ooc- assuming your talking about bakan, though as far as your char is concerned we both are oddly dressed, though me more than him -ooc

patrick turns his head part of the way to look at the new comer with his own odd gun and looks for any sign of significant rank, finding the badge of captain he nods slightly and returns most of his attention to the soldier in front of him who appeared to be a mere private while inquireing:

and you are mister...?

"Its like dealing with children, they only have intrets in arguing amongst themselves"
Talking plainly to himself placing his hands in front of him taking a deep hesitant breath making sure to raise his voice so everyone would hear.
"If you want to know whats going on I can tell you, but pointing guns or other assorted instruments around wont help but to confuse everyone even more. If you want an explanation listen if not go somwhere else and kindly spill each others blood in another building, one where you can die for good."
Hinting to no sign of a wavering feel of emotions nor feeling out of place unlike the others present.

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Captain Drake eyes the speaker for moment. He was oddly calm considering someone had just been shooting off rounds like that. Figuring he was better off trusting him and listening to what he had to say than try to answer the questions himself, Zorro slowly lowers his colt .45 and puts it back in his holster.

"My apologies. Please, go on."

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

ooc//Yes, I'm finally getting around to making my character for this thread.//ooc.

Name: Bethany Jo Pearson
Age: 19
Sex: Female
Time Period of Origin: !862 (American Civil War)
Country of Origin: Confederate States of America (North Carolina)
Weapon: Her southern charm and brassy attitude...oh and a wooden fan and parasol
History: Born to an upper class southern family, Bethany (Bitsy to her friends) was raised in privilage and was courted by many suiters due to her dowry. However when the Civil War hit her world crashed down around her. Her brothers killed, Her town destroyed by bombs, only her home miracuolously standing left but for who knows how long, she began to learn how to take care of herself through her charms, beauty and a correctly placed hit with her parasol. Fending off lewd advances of the yankee troops who often commendered her home on their march south.

Then: Standing on her porch, her gaze toward the horizon as flashes of light caught her eye. "More bombing, when will it ever stop" Sighing she turns back toward the door just as a bright flash of light overwhelms her.

Now: Gazing around her surroundings Beth gasps, amazed she isn't dead. Her eyes in awe to her now spotless powder blue dress. Nothing seemed right. Suddenly she hears loud booms and shouting from just down a way. Jumping to her feet she grabs her belongings and races, properly, in the direction of the noises. "The next wave of soldiers must be coming again." she thought, her mind preoccupied by fright.

Stopping suddenly as she rounds the corner and sees not blue coated murders but..but.. she had no idea what she was looking at. Composing herself, having becoming oddly used to unusual situations, although this one was by far the most unusual she clears her throat and speaks.
"Mercy! What eva' is the commotion?"

"The commotion my dear woman is the sudden appearance of this man. Who claims he knows the solutions as to our current suitation. However, as you can see, we are hardly a group for the common rules of causality apply, Such the shame that that is."

Deterick slowly turns on the balls of his feet to look at the only in place person at this gathering.

"Please go on sir, I for one am intrigued by the situation. Things promise to be exciting. In the name of science of course..."

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Zorro notes the German accent in the voice of one of the men. "Nazis!"
His first impulse is to reach for his gun, which he does, but stops before drawing it out. The man was very oddly dressed indeed, even for a Nazi. Zorro takes his hand back off his gun, having thought of a way to test the man.

"Excuse me sir. 'Hail Hitler'?"

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Composing himself a little more, finding the increasing cooperation comforting.
"Since some of you have composed yourselves some more, no doubt some of you may have noticed by now everyone here looks different from each other in clothing and also time periods. Simply put you are from diffrent time periods taken here to this one, to be.."
Carfully deciding his words from this point on
"To be part of exibits within history muesum, each repesenting some period within history from a variety of different backgrounds. Unfortunatly there have been complicaitions the technology used to bring you here has some side effects, at first only small thigns went dispearing. But now we are to the point where entiure buildings are being pulled through time, thats the reaosn you all woke up. The main powerplant that runs the stasic systems dispaered a few minutes ago along with a few housing blocks and research labs."

Taking a step back to account for everyone present, nodding in satisfaction to himself.
"You all here present are simply exihbits dispalyed within this particaular museum, there where otehrs situated elshewere but im not sure on their whereabouts right now. Not that I have the time to search as this building runs the risk of being pulled into any random time period."
Keeping his voice level though fearing the worst in the depths of his mind.

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Although at first skeptical, Zorro takes a look good look around and determines there may be some truth to the man's words, as hard to believe as it may seem.

"Exhibits..........we were to be museum exhibits? So where are we exactly? When are we? And are you meaning to tell us that your experiment has gotten so out of hand that we could be randomly placed in any time period instantaneously??"

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Facing the speaker adimutly, noting him to be one of the science exibits.
"Well sir, as for where that would be the city of Atlantis, when well thats an entirly different concept. It is neither in your future or your past but simple outside of time itself. That is why we can end up within any time as there are no set lcoations where we can go expect into that of our own future, we can only go back in time. I dont udnerstand the mechanics of it fully. What I can say is the technolgy which brough you here is anotehr stage of the technology that took us out of the time stream, a pinacle moment within our own society."
decidng how best to proceed, Athiru trying to keep track of some of the more dangerous inderviduals in the room right now
"Though we found that with the lack of aging and death came a level of bordom in life, so we sought to learn all we could about some times before ours. So this and a few more muesums where built to house artifacts the pastso they could be studied further in detail. Though it seems the scientist who repaed such glory before failed to see flaws in their own systems, and so we reach an empass, with an infinite number of roads to walk on, with no means of navigating them."

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

patrick stares through the nervous seeming curator with a thoughtfull look that would suggest a true absence from the place as his mind fits what the man said together in what seemed to be their proper places and a question presented itself, his vision snapped back to normality and patrick applyed his line of vision to the man's eyes

why were we specifically picked to be part of your... exibit, or were we picked at random

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

This new speaker's question gives Zorro yet another.

"As exhibits............were we to be living exhibits in which people would watch a segment or follow us through our lives or were we supposed to have arrived here................dead?"

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Sighing to himself as he contuies at the barage of questions.
"Well firstly I ddi not chose you personally just signed the cntratcs to authorise it, you where chosen by researchers who looked into the difrent time periods. They decided that more hostile or time with rapid expansion would be more entertaining. Though I was against bringing soldiers but I was over ruled on that decision."
Turing to face the other speaking.
"T answer your question you where meant to arrive alive, we kill only in the most dire of situations when there is no otehr alternative left. ou where simple meant to be still exihibts for the mean time, untill we got around to probe your memories and act them out yourself. That was the plan anyway as you can see it will never happen now, and since you have all broken free we can no longer forcefully hold you here either. Such is our way we are passive people, violence is the vererse of what our culture is trying to achieve"

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Beth leans against the nearest wall, fanning herself quickly trying to comprehend all this. Her cheeks a little flushed from the excitement.
"I do declare this is the queerest gathering I have eva attended"

Turning and moving toward toward the Atlantian, giving him a odd look. and tapping his chest lightly once with her fan.
"What' eva let your silly little minds come up with kidnapping people!? That just ain't done where I come from., It just ain't done."

Looking at the women in a daft manner, wondering why he is being poked at this very moment in time, compsoing himself as best as possible.
"Kidnapping is what you call it, from our point of view it is as though a a scientist where experimnting on a mouse, or judging from your time period a master to a slave. It is a matter of view point what is wrong from your sense is not for another, much in the same way the war that was being fought in your countryin your time period was a war of different view points."

Gasping, Beth places her hand on her heart. "A SLAVE! How dare you! I'll have you know my great great great great granddaddy was one of the founding members of Jamestown. There isn't a drop of inpure blood in me! With that outburst Beth extends her parasol and turns in a huff, gracefully storming off to the other side of the room.

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Letting of a low grumble and sigh to hismelf Athiru, letting the women go ignoring her rather huffy persona on issues. Turing to face everyone else as she walks off.
"Now that odd event is over, know this ebfore anymore of you ask. The chances of you getting home are very slim. Right now msot of the city is in some time or the other, there is complete chaos right now and as far as I know it cannot be reversed untill the scientific community repairs the fault. I am history specalist rather than a technology one, most likely we will be slipping through time for some time. m suprised we have not yet but it will come eventually."

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

"Slipping through time? So there's absolutely no way of predicting when or where it will happen? What if we land in the dark ages and they burn us all as heretics? When we slide will we take part of this building with us? Assuming we do end up in some odd period of time, what do you propose we do? Should we just hide until we slide again? And if we find ourselves in the past (the past of course being relative to the individual) would it be ethical to try to change history? Or would doing so have disasterous consequences?"

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

"Well sicne you asked a few curious wquestions there some I am not really familiar with myself, as far as preedicting what period we land in taht is impossible, and though the building doesnt come with us it does phase out. Since it holds the equitment neccasery to transfer us through diffrent time zones. A warning though we can take no weapons or such with us to the times as their non-organic, though the cloths we are wearing are fine as they have been compensated for and dont require any extra power due to the cloness to the body."
Considirng how to respond to the last question finding himself ratehr lost for words himself.
"As a historian I know full well that the slightest event can change the course of a century and chnage the next as a result and so forth. So as far as changing history goes, changing it would be advisable though in some cases might be out of our hands due to our very existance"

Depsite the fact a gun was being pointed at him right now, it was fortunate that he new more about this place than the crazed man
"Becuase it would not really make much of an effect right now, your weapons work agaisnt walls, but against a living perosn you would not even get one shot out befire you weapon was nuetralized.

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Patrick's mind begins to wander, and being one with an active imagination he quickly realises that if he does somehow escape being removed from existance his life will never be the same again, as that thought crosses his mind an involentary frown follows closely behind on his face, but as he sees the soldier raises his gun and point it at the historian he returns to normal awareness and listens to both the snarled question and the calm answer before cutting in on behalf of the historian

which i doubt would be very advisable in any case, this man, whether or not he "kidnapped" us is obviously the only one here with a good idea of what is going on, now, put that damn thing away

patrick looks at the historian and nods

go on...

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Zorro starts to feel a little odd. He shakes off the feeling as a new question comes to mind.

"I was in the middle of flying a plane when I was brought here. Do you know what happened to me? Did I die? Was I missing in action? Or is this some sort of alternate reality where I went on living my life and flew the plane home?"

"Who is this hitler. Was he a famous scientist?"

Deterick sighs, rather loudly on all accounts of his personal self confidence and ego.

"So that explains why it is you have me confused with a biologist. Who would want to study the natural world. It's so like... history. Dull and boring"

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

ooc- Hitler was mentioned in post #28 -ooc

Zorro is put at ease by the German's apparent lack of knowledge of Hitler. Rather than trouble the scientists mind about the future of his country, the country Zorro had been fighting against at the time he was brought here, he instead changes the subject.

"Indeed. So, what is your occupation?"

Turning more to the rest of the group, he introduces himself not only to the German, but to all present. After all, if they were to be stuck in this situation together, they might as well start learning names.

"I am Captain Eric Drake. My flight unit called me 'Zorro' and I will answer to any of those names you might wish to address me by."

Re: Stumbling Through Centuries

Well i'm Aleksandr Petrovich- you guys can call me Shurik, though. I'm just a steel worker from Petrograd, 1917. Actually since you guys are from the future, what do you know of the state of Russia? There was great turmoil when i was taken, how did it turn out?
