Re: [Arc Final] The Gardens of Peace
By: Caroline Bishop Date: July 20, 2017, 9:57 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Blaze would be first addressed, as he acted first. Her eyes,
although misted over by the galaxy clouds, looked directly at
the hedgewolf, as he stepped forward, arms crossed. Her mouth
would twist lightly as he spoke, bringing up Karahl, her lost
kids and Jabari, as well as Sapphire. She would shake her head.
How has Sapphire tried to help her? No. She should've been there
to help their mother. She got in the way and did nothing in the
ways of helping... She wouldn't move as she got pointed at. A
light smile came to her face as he called her the fool though.
"[shadow=crimson,right]You're a fool for letting yourself be so
easily caught my boy, and for making your friends follow suit
behind you.[/shadow]" She would tilt her head down a little when
he said that she would have to take the emeralds,
"[shadow=crimson,right]I thought you might say that[/shadow]"
She would then look away from the fire mobian, looking instead
to his brother, Ty. He asked a rather upfront question. Then
what? The she would be happy.. Right? She would have her mother
back and things would change for the better. But would they? But
Ty didnt stop there, he said it wasn't too late.
"[shadow=crimson,right]What other way...[/shadow]" She would
question quietly, her clouded eyes becoming just a touch less
clouded...
Then Maria spoke up, when the medic brought up the state of the
world, Caroline would look up, looking to the walls of the
garden, as she looked around, screens acted like windows to show
the outside world. She did go outside, but it never really
clicked with her as to just how bad the state of it all was. She
looked at the screens, the wasteland that awaited outside the
fortress and across the entire planet they where currently on.
"There is nothing but a wasteland and fear awaiting her if this
goes through."
Caroline would let out a light breath, leaning back lightly on
the capsule for support. There wasn't... just a wasteland and
fear there was also.. Her! And....
Her head would turn to Soul as he claimed that she had potential
to do great things, but.. Why wasn't bringing her mother back
considered as one? She would look down at the capsule, her ears
pinning back as she rubbed a hand to clear some of the ice and
frost away so she could see her deceased mother's face... Val's
evil side coming out a bit caught her by surprise, she looked
back up upon being complimented in such a fashion, Val would
switch back though and ask a pretty important question.
"[shadow=crimson,right]O-of
course...[/shadow][shadow=crimson,right]I did what I had to, to
try and.. To try and get her back...[/shadow]" She still gave
off a powerful energy and feel, but her voice was breaking and
becoming softer, less angry and more... Sad
Then Karahl would approach her.
The cat would stare up at the tiger, with a look of fright on
her face, but not because Karahl might be scary, rather because,
she was scared of what the tigress might think of her now. After
all the things she had done and all the things that the others
where pointing out. In the pause, Caroline would hold her
breath, her crimson eyes locking onto Karahl's cyan one's.
"It's not fair isn't it?"
The smell of a neglected wet cardboard box, the scared, lonely
mews of a young girl who didn't understand why her family didn't
want her. The fear, the wondering of, 'What's going to happen
next?', 'Why did this happen?', 'How am I going to eat', 'Is
there anybody out there, who loves me for me' Her powers... They
where a curse to her, they where a hard to control force that
filled up without her consent. How long until she had too much
to chew? She would never forget her mother, the fancy white cat
lady who abandoned her, yelling at her even at her earliest of
ages, over something she had always struggled to control on her
own. As she recalled these memories, they would display up on
the screens that had acted as windows earlier... So the group
would get to see a little Caroline, who could barley walk on her
own, being punished over the power she was still fighting to
control.
"Do you know why I named you Caroline?"
Caroline would snap her attention back, looking at the tiger,
the scenes around the room would change, instead showing
pleasant memories of Caroline with Kara. Some even would be able
to spot themselves in the memories. Ty, Blaze, Maria, Ashura,
all appeared at least once. Caroline knew the answer to Karahl's
question. She remembered every word of what her mother had told
her.
"Because it means strong. It means strong and free woman. And
that's exactly what I saw in you the night I found you"
[center]"Right now, you are strong and beautiful... but you are
not free are you?"[/center]
Caroline would look aside in thought. Was she free? Truly free?
She ran the entire planet, she could do as she wished yet, she
couldnt do as she needed. No, she was not free.
Sapphire would catch Karahl's look and would shoot her a
reassuring smile and a thumb's up to let her know she trusted
the tigress.
The cat would close her eyes and would breathe when Karahl said
to. Hanging off of her every word. It made her wonder though.
Her biological mother made her feel betrayed and confused. Was
she supposed to still deem her as important? Or was she no
longer family?
Caroline would open her eyes again, as Karahl asked for Sapphire
to be let go. The shiny, powerful gems in Crystal's hands caught
her attention and for a second, she would reach out to them,
wanting for them. But....
"Sister"
Caroline would look to the hedgehog still trapped in the tree.
"I'm sorry for not being there when I should've. At the time, I
was confronting the dog boy who betrayed you. Your mother- OUR
mother, told me to look after you while she went out. I'm sorry
I never got to do that."
Caroline would close her eyes and breathe again as Sonic spoke,
his words piercing at her, but she hung onto Karahl and
Sapphire's words more. Looking to the blue hedgehog after, she
would let out a breath. "[shadow=crimson,right]Your hatred
towards me seems to always stay present with you
father...[/shadow]" She sounded disappointed, like she wanted
his approval also, but was used to never getting it.
Then Ashura added to it, she would hang her head lightly, he was
right, the Caroline her mum knew wouldnt want this.
She had let her mother down.
The cat would shake lightly, keeping her head hung down, tears
came to her eyes, something she.. Hadn't experienced in a long
time. Ashura's Future self would lock his eyes onto the stone
Ashura held up. He of course knew it. He knew it all too well...
Caroline's ears would rise and she would bring her head back up
at the sound of Mark's voice, he had followed, just for her..
She would look at the suited cat, he gave off this..
Indescribable nice feeling, that she just couldn't explain. Like
with Karahl, she would hang off every word, when he called her
beautiful, she would look aside a little shyly, but the
slightest of smiles came to her face.
"Your mother is here, beautiful Caroline. Almost right in front
of you. And she and her friends now know of her death, so they
can act to stop it from happening when the time comes."
Caroline would look at Karahl, this was true, she was still
alive, still well. Maybe... there was another way...
Her attention went back to Mark as he took her hands, cause her
to lock eyes with him, her eyes where now free of the galaxy
clouds, and sparkled with thought and new opportunity. She would
reach out and would place a hand to Mark's heart, closing her
eyes, Mark would be able to feel a warm, welcoming feeling for a
few seconds before she opened her eyes and smiled. "Love is
certainly in your heart. I can feel it. Though, I don't need to,
to know your heart and intentions are true." She paused, taking
hold of Mark's hands again and intertwining her fingers with
his, "I want to get to know you more then I do now, Mark~ I want
your kind heart in my life. You're right, they're right. I don't
need the emeralds to bring her back to be happy.
[center]

She wasn't expecting this type of reaction from the others, she
wasn't expecting to be asked to look for an alternative way to
happiness, she was expecting some sort of fight, pain, suffering
more then she had. But that had not happened. Instead she
gained... Possible new friends, a new love interest, and, her
family back.
Looking back to Mark, she would smile a smile that she hadnt
smiled in ages, a warm smile that showed she felt wanted,
included and loved. "R-Really?" She would ask, a new chance, a
new path that included Mark, and her mother and all who brought
joy, it was... It was what she really needed.
She would look at Mark after the offer was given, then she would
look to Karahl with a hopeful look, hope, that was not something
she had, had for quite some time. "I... would love that, Mark,
and I would love to meet them, will you be with me? First
though, I need to fix what I have broken" She would press her
forehead against his lightly, knowing he would understand and
that she'd be right back.
With a possible new road to take that held promising adventures
ahead, Caroline would turn back to the rest, pointing a finger
at the tree she would then flick her finger, and the glass of
the tree slid upwards to let Sapphire out. The hedgehog, without
hesitation, ran over and hugged her sister, Caroline would put
her arms around her, lifting her off of her feet as she hugged
her back, both looked as though they dearly missed the others
embrace.
"I'm sorry" "I'm sorry too"
Caroline would look to the others, look past Sapphire's shoulder
and hair. "I want to fix all the wrong doings I did. What I have
done... it was wrong. You all deserve to have a future to look
forward to. That, I want to make sure of...." She would pause,
looking aside.
[center]"If.. if you'll give me that chance, even after all the
pain I have caused.."[/center]

---------------------------------------------------------
Maria was frankly stunned as she saw how it all panned out. No
fight, no physical struggle... they had managed to talk HER out
of it without even firing a single bullet or throwing a single
punch.
It was incredible and she loved it to be honest, no more
bloodshed. It would seem enough had been spread already and
Caroline seemed to start feeling regret for all her actions...
as any sane person should.
Seeing the two sisters hug again brought tears to the doe's
eyes, while she had only seen them through the now late Karahl's
eyes, it was good to see them hug again after so much had
happened.
"It's good to see that you want to set things right, lady
Caroline," She said, addressing her by her real name as opposed
to omitting it completely, "I for one, would say i am in favor
of letting you help us getting things together... granted, we'd
likely want to accompany you as well."
As finished speaking however, something nagged her, what about
those they hadn't seen? Seemed like everything had just wrapped
up, granted they still needed to fix the time-flow, a daunting
task no doubt... but there had to be more to this. She hoped
not, but she could let it go. However, she wouldn't ruin the
mood, it was a nice change considering everything that had been
before.

By: Blaze the hedgewolf Date: July 20, 2017, 3:34 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Blaze looked at Caroline and shrugged as he put on a smirk
listening to her. " I'm a fool huh?.....heh i've been called
worse but i can see that. As far as my friends following me that
part is just natural when you have those who care for you. " he
replied as he placed his hands behind his head with that same
goofy smile. He then looked to the others as they expressed
their opinions....it made Blaze rethink what he said to which he
rubbed his head lightly. Watching Sonic eat a emerald was a bit
much though. " Ummm....that....that was just odd. " Blaze
replied as he looked at the blue blur.
It was then Sapphire and Caroline were able to finally become
sisters again. A happy ending.....so why did Blaze feel a bit
bothered about something? When Caroline asked for forgiveness,
Blaze decided to step up and offered a genuine smile and a
thumbs up. " I managed to make a lot of new friends and allies
here. If you're serious about fixing things then i'm all up for
it. " Blaze replied.
Veira followed a bit behind him before looking to Caroline. She
gave a small sigh as she looked at the feline. " You know...i
kind of hated you but after seeing everything...i....may have
misjudge you a little. " she replied before bowing lightly. " My
apologies.." she finished.

The tension between the white feline and the group was rising,
the hedgehog took his stance preparing for the worst if his
attempt to settle the fight did not end well. It turns out they
all managed to talk her out and in the end reconnected her with
Sapphire again, letting out a sigh of relief the hedgehog was
glad the "fight" was over. It truly was a beautiful sight... the
power of love for family, that keeps them together no matter how
broken they are. "Well since you want to fix our futures,
perhaps we in turn can fix yours as well you deserve a better
one too, so count me--er--" he glanced quickly at his future
counterpart before continuing his reply "--us! in.". It might
seem that there's a lot to fix but this moment right here is a
good start for them...

Re: [Arc Final] The Gardens of Peace
By: Karahl Date: July 25, 2017, 2:29 am
---------------------------------------------------------
After she spoke, she looked to Caroline with empathetic, yet
loving eyes that a mother would give upon seeing her first-born
child. That maternal instinct - even though it probably
shouldn't have surfaced into some time in the future yet for the
Shinobi - clicked in that moment as she looked to Caroline.
Briefly noting her memories which had appeared on the windows;
but they meant little to her for Caroline right here and now was
vastly more important. Karahl may have seen Caroline's memories
of her and she may not know exactly how she died, but it felt
like that too didn't matter. The tall tiger cast Caroline a warm
smile before looking to the side briefly to allow for Caroline
and Mark to share a somewhat private moment together.
Karahl waited patiently until she watched Caroline made her way
over to the tree not only to free Sapphire, but to hug her as
well. The Snow-Claw too took long strides over to the girls and
hugged them both as well, "I am so proud of you Caroline, for
being so mature about this." she cooed before pausing to allow
for herself to think over her thoughts. Her tone then started to
have a hint of concern, "Of course we'll give you that chance...
but what will it involve?"

Sharp eyes blinked, he didnt expect this turn of events nor is
he used to his style reasoning actually work in thier favor, he
fully expected a battle for survival, fighting for ideals, he is
glad it didnt happen this time. Eyes later softened watching a
mother and her children embrace into a family hug, this moment
loosened his hardened expression, curled lips compressed into a
smile. Caroline expressed a desire to atone for her actions
offering to fix her mistakes, icing on the cake wouldnt you say?
"Go for it"he nodded crossing his arms in approval.
Shadow's reactions and expressions are just about the same, the
gruff hedgehog folded his arms, sprouting a warm smile in
response to this touching senario. "Hmph" he closed his eyes.

Val observed the scene and smiled. Her heart filled with joy,
sadness and torn with Beastly's feelings whom was rather
disgusted. The she wolf cried watching it while her dark
coubterpart took the parole."Tear jerking little moment and you
fall for it...I can't believe you do...stupid witch." She said
with sarcasm and spite, targeting her other self. 'The most
powerful being...vanquished by tender feelings ....I am
disappointed... Next thing we'll know we will have a future and
everyone will live happily ever after.' She thought grimacing
showing her glowing red eyes while torturing the witch inside
who regain control of herself and collapsed on the floor from
her being in pain and exhaustion. Beastly had drained her just
enough to send them both unconscious.

Re: [Arc Final] The Gardens of Peace
By: Ashura Date: August 2, 2017, 9:01 am
---------------------------------------------------------
"Aw heck yeah!" Ashura cheered, potentially a bit too loudly,
but the sincerity in his voice could hardly be blamed. "Now this
is more like it!" Though very much prepared to fight; having
extra energy stored within him, Ashura was oh so glad he didn't
need to. Step one; reach out to those who are perceived as an
enemy; complete. Awesome, now it was time for a joke! The
emerald green hedgehog saw Shadow smirking and spoke to the red
striped Chaos user as he passed by. "Are you suuuure you don't
need a tissue~? Hehehe, just kidding~"
Given the more serious aspect to the situation however, Ashura
figured that any alterations to the past (or his and his new
allies current present in this case) would happen one of two
ways. Immediately; thus nullifying any action they were
currently taking or in a ripple depending on how the group moved
forward in making things right.
Either way, now there was a new objective. Fix the mess that had
been made. Of course, Ashura's stored extra energy could be used
constructively... If he was given some form of guidance on how
to control it better. There happened to be two present in this
area that he would assume were able to help him out. One of them
was Caroline, but she was busy with family so Ashura would just
let her have that moment. The other was a lot more obvious;
himself. His current future self. "Oo, excuse me a second chums~
I'll be riiiiight back~" With that, Ashura slowly wandered on
over to his future self.
"Howdy, me!" He waved as he slowly and gently approached, the
precious gem still visibly in his hand. "I saw you looking at
this. You know what it is, don'cha?" Polite as ever, he waited
for a response before continuing. "You can hold it if you like,
unless you still have yours with you." Ashura spoke
reassuringly. "I don't know what happened to put you in such a
state, but I promise us that whatever pain you are in, whatever
horrible things you might be feeling; I will beat them. We will
beat them. Just like dad would have believed we could." Ashura
held the gem forward in both hands, ready to hand it to his
future self for now, or simply just hold it for his own sake.
"To do that, I think I need your advice. You're older than I am.
More experienced despite some of those experiences being bad...
Wait, D-don't spoil anything, but, uhm... Do you have any advice
on how to control my power if it builds up like it has now? Did
you figure anything out? If you have, where should I start?"

Re: [Arc Final] The Gardens of Peace
By: Team 5792 Date: August 5, 2017, 8:17 am
---------------------------------------------------------
[I]"Of course i'll be there with you, my beautiful."[/I] Mark
would say to Caro's question of if Mark would be there with her,
he knew that he could double check with 'Acura' and 'Koenigsegg'
once they got out of the AntiFuture, Mark would step back as
Sapphire rushed over and hugged her sister, give the family some
space after all, right? he'd be right there if anything became a
problem after all, and with Karahl also just a few steps away,
what was the worst that could happen? Speaking of Karahl, while
Karahl hugged Caro and Sapphire, Mark had his own idea, getting
behind Caro he would start to rub her shoulders, following her
if she went anywhere in the room.
While Mark could deal with most things, Carlos and Sara had
joined the crew in the garden, and Carlos was standing guard
watching Sonic while Sara thought of Victoria Sponge Cake, and
if Robin had been reunited with Fem, and if a fake emerald could
be made from the remains of Zarkonian flarbuzor, but mainly the
Victoria Sponge Cake thing. Carlos, remaining seemingly unfazed
at the hedgehog's somewhat idiotic (but not all nonsenical,
mostly, but not all...) idea to swallow an emerald, would mime
out the shape of a square three times, three invisible metal
walls would appear in front of the hedgehog, this was to ensure
reaction time against Sonic's speed levels should he make a dash
for Caroline, perhaps even give Mark or Karahl a chance to get
in the way if the hedgehog decided to go on the attack, and
crashing through three walls, surely it would disorientate the
hedgehog? Thankfully he hadn't been a danger yet. Irritable,
yes, but not a danger. Maybe he wouldn't be a danger at all
before they were all out of the gardens and Caroline was off to
fixing things and to whatever the DCM were planning for her?
[I](To clarify, the walls are fairly thick, but not wide, and
they are in front of Sonic, but they're not blocking off any of
the room except right in front of him, so if anyone should
happen to walk to right in front of him, they'll hit the walls,
other than that, they won't.)[/I]
Once he had established those walls and knew that they would
stick, he would wander over to Val, who had just had her inner
battle between herself and passed out, and would pick her up.
[glow=white,2,300][I]"Je Vais porter sa à la
sécurité"[/I][/glow] he would say in his only way of spoken
communication, via the mind. Mark kinda got it as he wasn't an
expert at French, but 'securite' and him picking her up,
connected to him that he was taking her somewhere secure. Good!
Caroline's asking for everyone to give her a chance to fix
things was next, and he would aim a light kiss at one of her
cheeks, going back to rubbing her shoulders. Something quickly
occured to him, everyone was agreeing that she should be given
the chance! Well that saves [B]one[/B] burden. And although one
unstable pest hadn't spoken up, Mark [B]kinda[/B] didn't want
him to, hence why Sara was now watching Sonic, literally staring
at him too, as Carlos was now handling Val. Once everyone except
Sonic had stated what they thought of the idea, he would speak
up. [I]"Carlos. Sara. Come over here."[/I] he would say, the
squirrel and Armadillo shelled Mole approaching him and Caro.
[I]"What do you two think?"[/I] he would ask them.
Sara would look up at Caro, and if Caro looked in her mind, the
first thing that she would see, is a bag of pickled onion
crisps, but she had a massive smile on her face. [I]"I think
she's great! I think she's really sweet! I love your hair. It
reminds me of Wedding Cake! Wedding Cake is delicious, and full
of nutrients! If cooked to exactly the right mixture when the
batter is mixed onto the baking tray-"[/I] she'd stop as Carlos
nudged her. [I]"Oh."[/I] she'd say, before looking back at Mark.
[I]"Go on Marko."[/I] Mark couldn't help his smile. [I]"My
beautiful Caroline, these are two of my teammates, the talkative
cook is Sara, and the quiet one carrying the wolf, is
Carlos."[/I] Carlos would bow, but only slightly as he was still
carrying Val around. [I]"When everything is fixed and you become
one of us, you'll get to see them, and me, a lot more."[/I] Mark
would say. Sara letting off several nods in a quick succession,
while Carlos would slowly nod.
[I]"So where do we start on fixing everything? Let's all be a
team and chip in where we can. Agreed, everyone?"[/I]

Re: [Arc Final] The Gardens of Peace
By: Caroline Bishop Date: August 7, 2017, 9:28 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Caroline would look to the medical doe and would smile at her
words, honestly, she wasn't expecting much kindness after the
things she had done, and especially was not expecting others to
want to help her in fixing the things she had done wrong. "O-oh!
Of course, well, if you'd like to, but do not feel as though you
must do so, as it wasn't you whom did wrong." Maria's older self
seemed stunned at seeing the rest of her team there by the
emeralds, she seemed glued to the spot, frozen. Caroline paused
for a moment, looking at Maria before saying; "I'll show you in
time, you deserve to know" She of course would be talking in
response to what was nagging at Maria's mind.
Next was Blaze, she seemed a bit timid when he stood up, but
smiled back when he did. Standing back upright, she would
approach the hedgewolf, looking guilty, "I promise to make sure
the older you ends up in a life that you deserve" She would say,
hanging her head down. But she was greatful that he was up for
the idea of her fixing things.
She would then look to Veira, "I can understand why you would"
She would say when Veira admitted to hating her beforehand. The
feline would bow back to the lighting wielder "My apologies too"
She would say, before she'd look to the future Veira and their
daughter, she press a finger to her lip before wandering over
and placing a hand to each of their foreheads, a green glow
would come from her hands for a few seconds before disappearing.
"They should wake up soon, alive and well, finally able to
return home."
Soul too was kind, offering to help fix her as well as she
wanted to help them, Caroline didn't know what to say, she
wasn't used to all this. "Thank you... You don't have to though,
you haven't done anything wrong" Ty also agreed and she would
return his smile before shooting a concerned look at Shadow.
The feline would then look to Karahl, she felt terrible for the
things she had done. She thought they where justified at the
time.. She thought they where the right things to do.. She had
been wrong and now had left so many mistakes to fix. So much
pain to heal... Yet still, everyone wanted to give her a chance,
and Karahl still gave her that look, that look that she had been
missing for years.. The warm smile of the tiger filled her heart
with the same warmth, a warmth she had longed for, for a very
long time.
Sapphire and Caroline both smiled when hugged together by the
tigress, Sapphire, being lifted off of her feet, would press her
forehead against Caroline's, tears streaming down her cheeks as
she moved her hands to the cat's cheeks, brushing away any tears
"I missed you so much" "... I missed you too sister"
She'd then look back to Karahl at her question, "Whatever it
takes to fix the wrong things I've done, so long as nobody gets
hurt more in that process, I could perhaps go back and fix where
I went wrong originally, or simply fix things as they are in the
here and now." She would pause a moment before adding, "Most is
fixed by the actions you all now do, knowing what is possible to
happen but for the things that aren't and either way, I'd still
like to fix things, to ensure they don't stay unfixed, you're
all welcome to know of the truth behind what did happen if you
so request it though too, as you have the right to know" When
the girls had, had their moment also, Robin would also approach,
pausing for a moment before Caroline pulled him into a hug, a
wave of regret rushing over her for all the pain she had put him
through in the past. "I'm sorry" "It's okay, it'll be alright"
He looked a bit surprised as she went to untie his bandanna
though and he would reach back for it, not wanting her to reveal
the collar, but she would still remove it, making him rub his
neck uncomfortably, looking aside. Caroline would extend a claw
and then would insert it into a hole on the collar, after a few
seconds, there was a beep, and the collar would unclip, allowing
Robin to be able to take it off now. Which he would, rubbing his
neck after looking bewildered. "The key was in the claw, I'm..
sorry I ever put it on you in the first place."
Caroline saw Valentine's struggle with Beastly though, but
before she herself could approach it, Carlos would get there and
pick up the wolf in his arms, the cat would lock eyes with the
squirrel for a few moments, something told her that she'd get to
know him a lot more then just this moment. Looking away, she'd
look down at Val, looking concerned, she would place a hand to
her forehead, trying to clear the canine's mind of bad things,
trying to relax her and do similar to what she had done for
Future Veira and Sakura. "I'll make sure you get that happy
ending" She promised, although in a soft tone that only Val,
Carlos and those nearby would be able to hear.
When Ashura approached his Future self, the older version would
pause, all the mess of pixels all freezing in place where they
where before glitching out randomly in surprise and then..
settling down again. When asked if he knew what the gem was, the
mess would nod, it might be hard to work out that it was a nod,
but there was one in there. "He doesn't have his with him... I
had taken it from him a while back..." Caroline would speak out,
not baring to look at the two Ashura's as she did.
The more Ashura spoke, the more the pixels seemed to form..
Well... Him. They seemed to form a better, more proper image of
him as he went on, and eventually, there would be a full image
of himself before him, although, messier, and tired and ..
cracks and lines ran all along the image, as though it was
something being held together by nothing but glue. The future
self would take hold of the gem, if Ashura let him, taking it in
his hands and fumbling it between his fragile looking fingers,
the more he held it, the more he looked like a balloon that had
been re=inflated, almost as though it healed him as he touched
it. The cracks and glitches in his image would seal over and
fix, until there was nothing but a taller, messier Ashura in
front of Ashura. The hedgehog asked good questions though, his
fixing future self would pause for a moment...
"[shadow=darkgreen,left]Well, it's always been a work in
progress, but I got a bit of help from someone who had a similar
problem as me back when I could[/shadow]" He would motion
towards Caroline. ""[shadow=darkgreen,left]She taught me the
importance of keeping calm- I know that can be hard with all
that built up energy, and sometimes, it's good to let it out,
but on things it wont do harm to, and when you're ready to let
it out- Having your own personal little power punchin bag if ya
will[/shadow]" He would smile, offering the gem back to Ashura
and closing his hands around his, "[shadow=darkgreen,left]And of
course, always remembering what Dad told us and what he believed
we could do. Also keeping all your friends and loved ones in
mind, remember that they too believe that you can control it as
well. When I lost that. That was when I lost control, don't ever
loose what's important to you[/shadow]" He'd take another look
at the gem, "[shadow=darkgreen,left]Don't ever loose sight of
who you are[/shadow]" He would add before he'd fumble with his
hands a bit, unsure of if what he had said was at all useful,
but hoping some of it was.
Crystal, still carrying majority of the present time emeralds,
would blink for a moment, she wasn't sure what was going on, but
she was glad she wasn't in trouble. She seemed to stumble around
a little bit though for a moment, and she looked about ready to
be sick, sitting down, she would set down to emeralds, rolling
her head a bit before dropping it down and biting her lower lip.
She wasn't looking too well at all.
Mark rubbing Caroline's shoulders made her actually blush
lightly, but she'd smile, as it did relax her. His kiss made her
almost giggle, the bell on her tail jingly happily. "O-oh,
you're too cute~".
Then she'd be approached by Carlos and Sara, skimming the tops
of their heads was interesting, Sara especially, what she said
though added to it and made the cat laugh lightly, "Oh, why
thank you! You're very lovely, your hair reminds me of
cupcakes!" Caroline would say, fiddling with a strand of hair
thanks to the wedding cake comment and making a quick glance to
Mark. Speaking of Mark, she would smile at the next part he
said, "Well, I'd quite like that, I'd like that quite a lot~"
She would reply with, and it was true, she'd like to see the
three of them more. Then came the question of where to start.
"That's a good question.. Well, I suppose you should be returned
to your original time right? Along with your emeralds. Then, one
by one we could do little missions to ensure everyone gets a
future to look forward to, I can show those who want to see,
what happened, and that can help you all to avoid things from
happening in the first place. That's one way to start I
suppose... Are you all sure on wanting to help? It wasn't any of
you that caused all this mess, it was me.."
