I don't own Timecrest rice belongs to Sneaky Crab
All right we're now at the concert part and the party as well. We're Helena and Julia have their little party. We'll be able to see both. We want to see what's going on at both the concert and party at the same time normally in the game you don't get that but we want to see both perspectives on what's going on with Luther at the party and with Scarlett at the concert.
Also, a few days and weeks have passed or so since then once again, Luther and Scarlet are hanging out in the room together.
The good stuff was supposed to happen on this timeline or about to happen soon. I hope you enjoy it. It probably won't happen right away in this chapter, but it will happen. This is exciting. Don't you think?
OK
Here we go
It's time to see both sides of this coin both the concert and party in both chapters. I could do two separate chapters, but I think I'm gonna do them in one chapter.
Also, we will watch Scarlet get ready for the concert as well. All right then I will add some extra details that weren't in the game before Luther was getting ready for the party so we'll get to that as well. .
Here I go adding details.
OK, here we go
at Luther's building before the party
Luther is getting ready
Luther
My head was spinning for the last time. Scarlet was here, but she's not here right now. She's gonna be here any minute. She's working right now, but I have to get ready for the stupid party if we play my cards right this will be the last one of these I'll ever have to participate in, and we can get freedom for at least a few of us did come by again with another letter and another list updating that these are the people who are scheduled to be executed. We have to do this before the next paper arrives and before everyone is taken away.
She's gonna discuss the rest of the plan with me before she leaves to go to the concert. I didn't know what she was doing tonight, but I knew she had plans tonight. She told me so then she's gonna come back here somehow undetected and save me. Is she's gonna save me an ash and the little girl aura or did Riley do that already? I don't know. I hope she didn't yet.
Do you shouldn't let her father see that she's rescuing a human child that wouldn't be good either.
But she's not the only one we're busting out of here tonight there are a few people who want to take from Volder to add to our family roster that we didn't know about. I don't know if she is or not. I don't know whatever what Riley is up to.
I have to disobey my parents for a moment after the party is over cause I think Riley is going to sneak over here tonight on the rooftop and bring me the little girl before we leave and I have to pack Ash quickly or maybe oh maybe I can pick up Laura when I go pick up the baby well pick up Ash Will bring her still maybe she can pack quickly that'll work. Talk it over with Scarlet and then Scarlet will bust me out of here. I have no idea they'll probably run and go to Orem with Dr. Crawford.
But everyone else the Robertsons and others will unfortunately die. I'm sorry I can't save everyone and you all are too complacent I said as I finished getting ready for the time to get ready for this party, I had to wear a suit and tie for this party this was not just a normal Voran party. This was a fancy party.
Mom was making fancy Griffin egg sandwiches that are very small and they're gonna have fancy drinks. They're gonna have some kind of bubbly like alcoholic drinks or something and I had to go because I'm 20 I am now 19 so I have to go to these parties if it wasn't for that, I would have they would have it somewhere else and I'd have to watch Ash Well I don't have to be a problem.
I promise – I'll tell him a story, but I probably won't tell it until we're safe and Scarlett's home. I think that'll be good. Rita said she was going to help too. Somehow, whoever this Rita girl is and her father I never met him.
In Porsche well that'll be great Porsche helping would be wonderful. We can get our freedom a little on the outside at least.
If I could work from the outside with the memory deletion, then we can do this and I can free mother and father too. I just can't bring them with me because they won't come. I know they won't father would, but it'll be very difficult to hide father and mother.
They didn't come we had to leave in the night when mother and father thought mother and father had fallen asleep. Then Ash and I had to sneak in onto the roof and meet Riley with all the things that we would be taking. Scarlett said that she would take and hide things for me to Om Hala.
And I need to tell Father about my plan because I'll need to sneak and pack things from the lab tonight.
No, I'm finished mostly dressed except for my tie and my jacket. I have it dripped over the chair. I'm going to pack up these things for Scarlett or Riley. I can have Riley sneak in and take them for me to Orem Hala.
She can do that and I'll take I'll put our clothes on mine and Ash's back. Riley will grab the young aura and will escape if the stones leave nothing they might they'll just run Orem. Hala will bust them out with us or Scarlet might get them before then and she might even fly to the Maybe should be less suspicious to go and get aura from well Laora is going to be with Ash. Maybe she can figure this out when she gets here my mind is all muddled at the moment so I went to the lab got to my dad's lab and filled up the bags that I needed. I filled up the empty containers that I needed. I had plenty of them. Scarlet wants a few for her firepower for her magic so I'll get those memory memory deletion research serum research. This will be this pouch. I need this hidden with Porsche.
Dad is busy with the party so he won't know that I'm taking these things as I fill up the infinity pouch everything fits perfectly inside. I've put extra infinity pouches in their prototypes Scarlet hasn't told me what she's done yet if she's gotten the patent yet, but she'll tell me I know she will do what she wants I wonder. Or is she gonna wait until we're safe and Hella then do it?
I returned to my lab and added everything else I needed to pack up the letterbox and everything big things like deaths and things I left on my bed. I won't be sleeping in it tonight if things go right I'll be sleeping in Scarlett's room not her bed at least but the bed.
And if Riley can convince her father to give me all my patterns, then I'll be free I'll be completely free.
At least for a time, I don't know what I'll do to the main timeline once I get back, but I'll make some changes living with Scarlet for sure will change something. A few things will change.
Ash and I will be free. Maybe I can get my parents free they just won't be able to leave with us but if I can, that would be nice if I can get the memory deletion serum to work.
There are some things I want to take with me though that I need to take with me even though I love my parents I'll take this photo with me. I'll take it.
It'll be with the stuff when I go. I went to my room downstairs and this room and packed all my clothes clothes one little bag will be full of clothing that I'll be taking to Scarlett for a few days. We're only gonna be there two days then she'll quit and then will run to Hala, I need more clothes than that though so I'll pack more clothes then hide their clothes and will be there at then if we can we're gonna run to Ravenswood, but the heat has to die down first before we can go there and will run to Ravenswood where it's safer when will be trapped again, but it'll be worth it. We won't be trapped. We will be free somewhat will be hiding and safety.
And I'll be in her arms we can't flirt when she's in her house. I'm fine with that. I can't. I can't be known. I'm living there with her too, but it's the only way for the time being.
But then when we're alone, we're finally alone in Orem Hella or even in Ravenswood we can be alone we can be alone I can be with her again. I can be with her alone. I want to save her from whatever her brother has done to her I want to I need to I have to now.
If I play my cards right, this will be the last time I have to be cordial in front of Vald Orians the last time I have to respect them and I'll be freed from them at least.
I can't wait I can't wait for the time we're gone. I'll be changing out of this outfit before we leave. Scarlet will have to let me have time to change. I mean, I could wear it. It is mine. I'll just keep this outfit on and she can put a cloak on me to hide my work.
She can do the same for Ash as well.
I can't go down and pack Ash's bags. It will be soon to suspicious if I did, but maybe I can real quick. Mom's already taken Ash over to is already taking him over to the to the family. He's already over at Robert's house so all I need to do is just pack his clothing. He's not taking with us to Scarlett. I will have Scarlet drop off when she leaves.
Well, OK I think I got everything these little things. I'll have Scarlet take with her before she leaves to go to her building. I'll leave my clothes there too.
Maybe she can do that for me I'll let her take all these things over there when she goes and gets ready that could work as is packed. I impact we're good to go. I've even packed all of Ashli's favorite tombs.
Including the one I was going to read to him tonight to make the little bed work. She told me there were only two little beds in the room and I would have to share. I'm fine with that and will share it with her Riley. Well, she's not staying in the building she's gonna try and get the castle. That'll be great yay Riley, thank you for helping out.
And you'll become mine and Scarlett's daughter I wonder how that will change the future I thought about this would it change her completely in the meant timeline I never thought about it much.
Well, I can't think about that right now. Scarlett will be here soon. Should be coming off work soon.
I don't have I'll come down and get her and bring her up and we can sit and talk a bit before she has to go get ready for that concert I heard that's what she's gonna do tonight.
And I'll try and keep the watch until it teleports to her.
But that will change soon too.
I'll have an urge to kiss her, but I won't. I don't wanna get all Kissy because then I won't be able to stop and then no I can't get my clothes wrinkled. I can't even have her sit in my lap tonight. I know she's been over here several times now and we flirted a lot, but not tonight, I have to keep my urges even at the house when we stay in the building together when we are free, she promised me we will be alone and everything will be good the moment where she'll be mine forever.
Unless things change in her and mother decides to get angry about something I hope that doesn't happen, but if it does, I guess we won't be able to control it. It'll be awkward though, if things change in the future.
Mom, I hope things don't change between us.
But if it does, please don't be angry with me, but I'm in love with Scarlet i'm in love with her and you're not gonna stop me from being in love with her.
I still love you, mother Ashli loves you too, but we just can't be here. It's not safe and if I'm able to save you and Dad then that'll be great, but we can't do it from here. We have to do it on the outside. Don't think of me as being running away. More thing of me is running away more than her saving me more than her kidnapping me because she wouldn't father would understand he would and I'm gonna write a note. I left it in Dad. I did write a note and I left it in Dad's lab he'll read it when I leave. I want you to read that note.
They know that I still love you and add to it. I don't know what dad will choose when he leaves but I know I know you'll probably won't wanna live with me or hear about me anymore. But I love you, mother and I know you love me, but you don't understand me.
I said all this as I finished up getting ready for this party and waited for Scarlett to come see me she was gonna come she was gonna come and see me soon. I'll be with her for a moment for a moment that she has to leave and go to something do something that she needs to do and then she'll come back for me.
This isn't just to get away. This is not just to get away for me to get away. This is for her to get away from her brother too. Well, that'll be fine.
Even though these timelines are not forever, something else will have to happen for her to have me go back. I know that.
I know this isn't forever.
And when she leaves, I will sneak her out the window like I did last time I don't I can't let her be seen by my parents carrying things with the Dorians arriving.
That is what I will do. I can't risk this. It's too risky.
I don't wanna risk our relationship either, but I want to fall in love with Scarlet. I want to save you. I know that much.
No, I have a family with her and Ash and Riley OK I got this as I finished up getting ready for the party that I had to go to.
Then Scarlet was off work and came to see me.
At Luther's building
Scarlet
I came in and up the elevator to his room to his lab not his bedroom. He never slept in there, but I could tell he stripped it bear. I did check on it and Ashli's room is too good I'm guessing he wants me to take these things with him to my building before I leave to go to the concert with Reed and my father.
I got everything together. Porsche has everything together for me. Everything is ready the paperwork for him and Ashli's last name to be changed back to Timecrest from read is already I'm leaving Miss Lena and Julius to keep the last name Reed but not Luther and not Ash I know that's the name he wants to give me if you ever married me I look dreamy. I walked in.
I sent them down near him and they're not sitting in his lap this time or even near him enough to do it to be tempted.
The watch was already open. He took it for me and opened it. Then he said Scarlet and loaded him. I looked right into those violet eyes, Luther.
Sensing him I wanted to run and hug him, but not right now There'll be time for hugging later he said and kissed you too and nodded. Nothing will do in your building here and there I can't stop myself from not at least kissing you Scarlet want to kiss me OK precious will you at least kiss me but we can't do anything more than that in our building when we have the roof, Ashli will be living with us and little aura two hopefully.
And will be a family hell I wanted to hold him after that, but we couldn't we had to restrain, but I know Miss Helena will have something up her sleeves after this she wants to get back at me and memory deletion works my mind wipe Riley's memory of this I hope not she is our daughter. She will be our daughter that will happen. Riley will be our child.
Then we talked about some other things about not the escape, but about other stuff about memory, deletion, and other things he was telling me how he was going to ask his friend to help him with memory deletion that's risky Luther once we get out Rylo be more obligated to help us. I don't know if she will and I don't know if I'll get to ask her. I don't know if I'll get to ask her either I said.
But once we're on our own and we're safe with Porsche maybe we can ask Porsche directly Luther knotted OK OK Scarlet will ask her directly Porsche. I mean she is your ally yes I said Porsche is my ally so she'll probably help us if we ride if you write a letter right away and then hand it to her if she says it's a band if it's not and she'll help us come up with another plan to free humans.
OK, we have Porsche on our side so that helps it if your friend fails we have Porsche.
Also, we have my friend Rita. She's a gold level, mage too. Should be a good ally for us as well. Luther not at along with my words do you think so I think so.
He liked my ideas. He smiled at me and held my hand. Scarlet. He said again quietly yes I said back, looking into those beautiful eyes.
I couldn't see his eyes, but I could see and feel him smile. The biggest smile on his face was so beautiful.
Be continued that conversation then we changed the subject and talked about his escape.
I told you you have to be very quiet in my building he not I know I have to be quiet he says, and we can't be over flirty or the guards might come and check on us. They do check on me from time to time Scarlet said, but not often and I don't think they will these next two days when I'm there I mean, I'll be quitting my job and these two days.
But you and Nash will have to be quiet and if we get an aura, she'll have to be quiet too.
And I'll take your things I said I will bring them to Omaha. I'm going to Orem for the concert Porsche before we go to the concert. My father and I and Rita will be going to eat first, so we'll probably go stop by Porsche's first to drop off your things with her for the few little things you need to bring with you to stay in our house for a few days.
Riley will pack Riley will pack aura her out after the party is over. You shall not come out with Laora when you drop off Ash or drop off or pick up Ash to bring Ash home. I'd like everything to be normal until midnight. I suggested.
OK, he says all right. I'll bring Ash home first like nothing is wrong dude I said as I took his hand I couldn't take his hand. I wanted to.
And everything you want to take with you make sure is packed up because you're never coming back to this building not OK. I got it, Scarlett.
She then hello to the first fall Dorian guest arriving Luther. I hope you're not bailing out on me. No, I'm dressed like this for a reason he says he puts on his tie and then finds his suit jacket and puts it on. I just show Scarlet and will be ready to go.
As he handed me the things he didn't want me to take that he didn't wanna take with him. He whispered to make sure these get to Porsche I will I said, as I snuck them out and hid them monks my clothes.
Then he took me out on his magic out the open window and then I ran off to get ready for the party not for the party before the concert and Luther goes to the party.
Our little secret is safe for now.
at the party
Luther
I had to keep this a secret and why I was so happy Scarlett was gone back to her building. I even gave her a little bit of clothes and ashes clothes so it'll make it easier on her this week. She just took us without taking things that I wouldn't have to come back and all she has to do is just take me, she said it would be hard to hide all of this, but she'll do her best most of it. She'll be taking the Porsche so she can hide it easier.
Very good at least that way we won't have to worry about a lot of it and all I'll have to worry about is the little bit of clothes that Ash and I will have on us. The rest of our things will be in Orem. Hala will think of looking there house at Moon Haven we will hide there for a while. The merchants' union will be a great hiding place for us.
But for now, I need to play along with my parents for a little bit longer but tonight will be my last night to do this so I need to be good and do well. I asked my mother why am I dressed like this. I'm not gonna skip out on this party. She nodded as we came downstairs, Scarlet was doing her own thing, but that was OK it so was Riley she was probably waiting until it was time to take Ash and Aura. I will bring the rest of the ashes things and my own there I won't have to come back. I can just leave we can meet at the gates midnight is when we're gonna meet.
But I can't think of my escape right now what I need to think about is this party you look distracted my mother said I'm fine Mom I said and she offered me a griffin egg sandwich and I took it and ate it. Thank you. Mom smiles you're welcome, dear.
Oh, and here is our first Voran guest Sergeant Vilas Sergeant this is our son Luther. We don't need to introduce it. I know him. Everyone knows Luther she says looking at me prodigy inventor the one only human that the high mage allowed into the Vald Dorian maze trials yes my father says we are very proud of Luther, I took another sandwich to our freedom. Sergeant Laura said she took and poured my father a cup of bubbly drink yes to our us and our understanding in the future yes yes here she says they clean their glasses together and drink.
Then I saw Oliver. He's staring at me. He was sitting over by the window so he just came in. Oh asked him how it was to come in the security was awful. He says they were checking me for magic from all sides. Well, that would be understandable I guess I didn't wanna see if I'd accidentally hurt humans and took all hands and shook it. It's good to see you friend. Yes, same here he says.
Why don't we go to my lab? I need to talk to you in private and I wanna show you what it looks like up there he knows where are you going. My mother asked. I'm gonna show Oliver my lab I said will you be down? Will we be back down soon, mother don't be long. I heard my mother call. We went upstairs.
upstairs
on the lab floor
and Luther's lab
Now, what do you need to talk to me about in private Luther? He asked me as he looked around my lab I can see you're working on the Infiniti pouch yes but that's not what I wanted to show you and tell you or talk to you about most of them are packed away, but that's not the side the point the vans think you are a bag designer commented, Oliver. Yes, I said, but that's beside the point.
That's not while I'm here. That's not what I wanted to talk to you about then what it is he said he asked as he pulled up I pulled up a chair why don't you sit down friend and I'll tell you he did as he was told, and I said on the desk with my legs dinging off the side of it I want to work on a memory deletion serum.
What he asked, that's ridiculous. How can you I want to work on a memory deletion serum for ashes scar but I want to improve so I can do it without being discovered and I wanna do it legitimately please Oliver I can get your approval you could take my acceptance letter my proposal letter and get it to the master since you're a gold level mage they'll look at it. I won't be able to get anything here. You know something like that won't get approved by the council, you know erasing someone's memory is there is ethical. I'll have consented to it, but I wanna erase Janice's memory of humans and the first human and all that I said so we can get our freedom. My parents are going is gonna take forever and will all be dead before then, tell him all about Scarlet, but I didn't wanna tell him that he might not laugh. He might laugh at me and not wanna help me with that plan.
You wouldn't wanna be my ally for this.
And I couldn't tell him about Alvin and what he's done I don't know how much of it he'll believe.
I can't believe you want to do that he says so are you gonna help me or not? I asked no I don't want to get you in trouble for this and I don't want to commit treason on your behalf. He says you're my friend and I want to help you with any other ways of being free I'll even help submit another cure for the Voran disease Luther if you make that then maybe that could be more approved, I don't wanna work on that work on a memory. I don't work on another cure when it's not useful memory deletion what's gonna be useful?
Not another cure for the disease I don't want that to hurt anyone again that's why I'm gonna try to make this memory deletion work without side effects. It's in simulations now if I can get it to work without side effects, then we could move more with progress.
Then I explained about Lieutenant Vow's salary. He knew about the lieutenant and you told me about that before he said about you killing him by accident with a cure that you made but if you can make it better, maybe we can resubmit it. I don't wanna work on something like that again I said. And it's not gonna get us out of the quarantine zones Let me deletion will be the way to get out not another cure.
They won't help this time.
All said when we both get out of it when you get out of here, we both will do some good in this world won't we not if I can get out you will get out all said and when we do, Ash and my little brother Alistair will be great friends like us they can follow in our footsteps. I want you to meet him. He's the most energetic nine-year-old would ever meet and we can both sit on the masters Council and I'll run a guild and I'll have you be my guild master he says.
If I get my freedom, you'll get your freedom he says I had to act like I wasn't getting my freedom. I couldn't let him know about my plans with Scarlet he wouldn't want to be my ally for this just like he doesn't wanna be my ally for memory deletion.
Well, I still have Riley again to help me and Porsche too and that's good at least but I don't say these things out loud.
I guess we better leave now before my parents start wondering where we are especially my mother OK he says as he takes as we walk down the hallway to the elevator oh, and by the way, I think I found myself a love partner who I ask the young Rita Sinclair she's I didn't like her at first but now I think she's the sweetest person I've met in my family I guess we have to be betrayed or whatever and she seems nice so I'll be all right with Rita. Rita seems like a nice lady so that's good I guess.
If I had to watch it teleported away, so I don't know what it did after that and if Scarlet had it well I don't know what happened to it then, but I had it and it teleported away.
And I rejoined the party and had a decent of a time I guess.
I'm ending here. I'm gonna make this a two-parter. I hope you enjoy it.
next time we'll see what Scarlett is up to with the concert starting where it started. It'll be a little different than the actual story in the game for this part, but making this chapter a two part instead of like one big full chapter I think is better for me and for the writing that way, you'll understand what's going on on both sides also the stuff with Oliver and everything took so long. That's also why we began this chapter with Luther and we ended it with Luther so I hope you enjoy it.
i'll see you next time
i'll see you in the next chapter
next chapter will be chapter 12
next chapter chapter 12
