Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
Newly reopened for business, the new TTU offices are substantially simpler than the old ones. Rather than a colossal clock tower, filled with all the wonders of a thousand universes, the building rather resembles an unassuming, generic office building, with only the prominent clock motif giving any hint as to its true purpose.
Along with the customary recreational travel, TTU is now offering evacuation services for those who don't wish to die a fiery death when the end of days comes, for only mumblemumble.
The secretary is slightly more willing to actually work now. Slightly.
This thread can also be used for more or less anything anywhere in space and time other than Acronymia, evacuation-related, travel-related, or for any reason whatsoever. Yeah.
More detail to come later. Maybe.Last edited by Vespe Ratavo; 2009-04-05 at 06:25 PM.

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
Oh, that's right. Evacuation. Almost completely forgot about there being a way out and stuff. That could've been awkward...
Magtok heads down to TTU, hoping to get some sort of discount for being buddies with the Time Lord in charge, but fully expecting to get charged double or something for not wearing the right-colored socks. Or maybe get caught in some elaborate and puntastic timeshare scheme. Or hit in the face by a disgrunted chimpanzee dressed up in a fancy blue suit who just got fired and is looking for someone to take his monkey madness out on.

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
No. Worse than all of that. Magtok will have to deal with...
The Secretary of Doom!
Who is currently making a personal call on the office phone.

Magtok waves at the Secretary of Doom! to try to get her attention.
Errm...hello? I'm here to cowardly run away through time from my problems, could you please help me?

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
Just a moment, sir. She continues on with her call. And then I was like, 'no way!' And she was like, 'yes way!'

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
A portal appears near Magtok and Decker pops out, in swan form. "Hey, Magtok. Want to come on me and Butler's honeymoon? He wanted specially to invite you!"

Miss, please, there's an apocalypse and I...
And then Decker offers the invitation.
Will it be outside Acroverse and get me out of waiting here for this lady to get off the phone so I can run away from the end of the world and let heroes and neutral folk deal with it for us all? If so, then yes.

God Bwha-?
Crazy Texans...
Well kay, I suppose I can tag along. But if there's so much as a hint of land sharks or if the sun gets all angry and tries to swoop down and kill me like in Super Mario 3, I reserve the right to leave you all to die.

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
Irene arrives at Time Tours Unlimited, carrying a small suitcase, umbrella covered in blood, and walks up to The Secretary of Doom! "Ummm... excuse me. I'm here about leaving the universe so I don't die when it all goes to hell. This is the right place, yes?"

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
Irene coughs. LOUDLY. "HELLO! ANYBODY HERE?! I'D LIKE TO NOT DIE NOW PLEASE!" She shouts despite the secretary being right there, simply because she's being ignored.

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
The secretary o' doom sighs, and hands Irene a large stack of paperwork. Yes, sir or madam, please sign here, here, here, here, here, here, initial here, and fill out all these little boxes. By signing these forms you agree to release TTU from any liability for any injuries or inconveniences occurred by traveling through time or space or indeed even standing in our lobby, that TTU is not responsible for manglings, stabbings, shootings, decapitations, or paradoxes that prevent you from ever having existed at all, and that you in fact should be honored to even be allowed to stand in our presence, offer us your meager earnings, and use our machines. Do you understand?

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
"Sir OR madam? It's not obvious?" Irene huffs a bit, indignant at this secretary's attitude and words. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got it. Buncha mangy elitist..." *grumble grumble mumble* Irene signs there, there, there, there, there, there, initials there, and fills out all those little boxes.
"Is that everything?"

The secretary looks over the paperwork. Thank you, sir or madam. Do you have a destination in mind?

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
"Well not really. Just someplace that isn't about to be apocalypsed or whatever. I'd rather not get blown up for no reason. Do you have brochures or something? I heard some other GLoGers are supposed to have come here too. Maybe I should go with them?"

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
I'm sorry, I have no group called "GLoGers" at the moment, if any arrive, we will notify you. She points to a rack of colorful brochures, advertising such lovely places as Monkey Island, Soviet Russia, and Space Rome.

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
Hmm. She'll go examine the brochures and wait a bit. She figures she still has a little while to chose and stall to give other people a chance to arrive. Maybe she'll hitch a ride with someone else if they show.
In the meantime, she's torn between Monkey Island and Space Rome.

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
Quickly, and somewhat quietly, a new person enters the building, looking up, and down, and all around, with a low level of interest bubbling in his slate-coloured eyes. A fairly odd-looking man, almost completely slate-grey or matte silver in complexion, and hue, he is, and, smiling nonsensically, he approaches Irene. Hello, ma'am.

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
Irene looks up from her brochure and looks the silver
surferman up and down. She'll give a small smile. Or at least, an attempt at one. She's just not nearly as friendly as Butler. Seems a little nervous when she's not agitated at annoying secretaries . "Uh... hello. Can I help you?"

You could tell me why this place stinks of fear, ma'am. The gray-silver man says, smiling, slightly.

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
Irene looks around. The place pans out to reveal all of three people, the secretary, Irene, and Silver man, in a really large empty room. Which of course, is something of a dramatization. I'm sure there's NPCs besides the secretary around. Hopefully.
"Ummm... fear? Well if it does, it's probably because everyone is about to die and came here to escape that." She puts the Monkey Island brochure back in its spot.

Everyone is going to die? Why? The silver-grey man asks, seemingly a little amused, in fact.

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
Irene shrugs. "I don't know. The apocalypse is happening apparently. Some people don't care. Some people want to fight it. Some people don't even believe it. Me? I'm not taking unnecessary chances. I'll just take a vacation someplace else and if this place is still around later, I might come back."

Hm. I can save you. For free, if you'd like. He smiles. Well, no money is needed.

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
Irene considers this.
Then realizes it's a very good idea.
She forgot she didn't have any money and wouldn't actually be able to use this place anyways.
She nods. "That would actually be fantastic. Could you?"

Anywhere in time and space. I'll take you somewhere long-forgot, if you'd like. All you need to do is.. pledge.

"Ummm... pledge? I don't suppose you could be more specific? Like with details and stuff?" Details are nice.

Say something for me. Promise something... say.. your heart, he says, with a faint smile, as if to say he's joking, to the Trinity, my trinity, and you'll be sent somewhere safe from this apocalypse.

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
Irene crosses her arms. She's not really ready to promise her heart to a stranger. Maybe she can think of something else. Plus she didn't like the way he worded "this" apocalypse. Maybe she was better off just getting the dough. "And what is your trinity?"

Re: Time Tours Unlimited - Leave the World Behind, Today!
Oh, just these. He says, with a smile, pulling three coins out of his pocket. One bronze, one silver, one gold. Perhaps she'll notice that the silver coin is actually part of his skin. Perhaps not. But, if you'd prefer, I can always teleport myself to safety, and leave you here, all for the sake of a little panic. But, really, I understand. After all, I mean, pledging your heart to some silly coins is some much more important than not being crushed in fiery oblivion. He smiles, again. So I'll just be going..?
