Tales of a Paradox
Chapter Two: "I name this tree…"
::Lloyd::
I screamed. Then I ran to Genis and started screaming at him. "What just happened?!" "I..I don't know Lloyd. It's never..." At this point everyone nearby started screaming and panicking too. Then I saw the necklace. "That necklace! It must have done it!" Genis looked thoughtful and then told me, "Put that necklace on- you're going after Colette." I nodded and grabbed the necklace while Genis turned on his machine. The effect of space ripping again drew me into the hole, leaving the necklace behind. "Good luck! I'll try to-"then Genis' voice was cut off by the closing of the hole.
Floating around in an area where nothing seems to exist is pretty disorienting… whenever you try to establish 'ground' it turns out to be a wall and you 'fall' off. Then there's this pushing sensation, like you have a person moving you 'forwards'. Then eventually, you stop feeling that, and a hole opens in front of you.
::Genis::
I'll admit, watching two of your friends get sucked into a hole in space can be frightening. By frightening I mean so-freaking-scared-that-I've-got-to-go-to-the-bathroom-except-I-cant't. But regardless, I had to figure out how to find Lloyd and Colette. I took the necklace and ran in though some tests with the teleporter, and found out exactly what had gone wrong. The necklace contained a jewel from a Balcruf Dynasty crown, and contained certain materials in a certain order, which, when electrical energy passes though causes a temporal distortion. By just running energy though it, time around me almost stopped. It was going to take something amazing to reopen the original distortion without leaving the necklace behind. So I got to work.
::Colette::
"I name this tree-"Were all the words the stranger could get out before I hit him. Me flying out of a portal is kind of hard to expect, after all. "Sorry" I said as I stood up, rubbing my head. That was when I realized that I was looking at what appeared to be a copy of Lloyd and myself.
Yep. Right during that cutscene. This should be interesting...
