xinoehp512 he/him Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 The wanderer realized that the choice was between waiting eight hours or following the little creature around the clockwork mechanisms.
NameIess Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 She sighed and started following after it. "So, who exactly is this mechanic guy?"
ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 "Psst." Said a Voice. "Isn't their name Fred? Or maybe Freida?" Voices were not all that uncommon around the clock. Even though they were outsiders, the Bells and Whistles were fairly comfortable with their presence.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 "Their purpose is to fix that which is broken," explained 536A. "Within them is contained the order of everything."
NameIess Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Or perhaps all Consultants contained a sliver of the mechanic.
ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Either way, that made finding the Mechanic the outsider's top priority.
NameIess Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 The little clockwork creature clattered happily off along the gears. The explorer hoped the little thing knew were it was going.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 "It is twelve of the Clock," 536A announced suddenly.
NameIess Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 "Is that a measure of time, or a measure of distance?"
Going_North_cal Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 The gears rumbled at the stupidity of the explorer. The explorer was in the Gearverse, surely it knew what was what.
NameIess Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 The explorer continued on, blissfully unaware of the universe's disdain for her ignorance.
ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 What a disgusting creature! Remarked several of the Bells, Whistles, and Voices.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 "It is ten seconds to three," announced 536A, coming to a halt. "When the gateway opens - take it."
Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Thaidakar as Adonalisium realized it was time and destroyed something that would affect everyone and no-one.
Ashbringer he/him Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Ash blipped, then forgot how time worked again.
ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Except, Ash had never known how time worked. Nobody had.
Going_North_cal Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 This was the Gearverse. Time was distance, and distance was time. The Clock read three, the gateway opened. An opportunity opened with the gateway. The explorer took it. And the Bells, Whistles, and Voices began singing.
Ashbringer he/him Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Ash jumped through the gateway, backwards, with his favorite tuna sandwich.
ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 The Gateway spat him out. It hated tuna.
Going_North_cal Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 The explorer watched as Ash was spat out of the gateway with his tuna sandwich. The gateway hated tuna. 536A rang and sped in front of the explorer. And they continued on, searching for the mechanic. Who slept on.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Their shadows crept behind them, something hiding within...
Going_North_cal Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 The gears rumbled in fear as the Being Within The Shadows crept behind the Explorer and 536A. And no one noticed.
