Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSGjHigWsX
Sorry for the sudden teleport back home! Something came up and I didn't want you guys to get involved. Once you get a chance, it's imperative that you come back later. Be safe!
~Verna
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJWcqIVvRm
"...Okay.." she slips into her coat pocket. Suddenly, a knock on the door. Trudging with a slight limp through her still unfinished apartment, she opens the door. Talia, was on the other side, smiling at her.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLWj33UaeA
"Oh. Hey Tal."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZp5SLhPv0
"Hi hi!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty5R5ZVSlc
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIePi0k2Xi
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSALU13OLn2
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70tlktEYlc
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8jvUT22Ph
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRUYTBs3CE
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNv5iY97VM
"...What?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt8ov3FSuN
"There's...a burn on your leg."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibSmpovSt6
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl2QxcfMIu
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FmihjjNd2
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk67OkjBGL
"It just...feels like you're hiding something from me..." Talia puts a gentle hand on Catherine's shoulder. "Is there something you need to get off of your chest?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3OdZOfQaC
"...I'm fine, I told you."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ00VApCMtW
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkysVpa7IVy
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9sXv2mUOv
"So, there is something wrong?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfmMOT8H7R
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7awxpePKFs
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjjHVEfOxD
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QFgEiPyXa
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTXZkqoV8N
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCd3ApAbrO
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuDpNiGD4d
"...A what?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvLDWdDG5W
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcthfMTXVX
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh0DOOvkvJ
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHmJDMVTsP
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiORfBDWrJ3
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcTnm8qTG7
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaa0KjmC26
"Oh..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80c7nicAkr
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqioIU3N06
A strong breeze of wind dashes past them. A dazzling blue light begins to form. Talia, wide-eyed, watches as the time warp opens up for Catherine to jump into.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCsZyt5vYR
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFZOKcofRd
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dD1FWDUla
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QHZsCu3LL
"Tal! What the hell?!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BrsRqyNkE
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ay5nd7x8K
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUReqvMGYR
"Hello again...Catherine..." Nathaniel makes himself known, not far behind from where they were standing. "And might thou be?"
He looks towards Talia with less hostility.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwxEKqLwGd
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7NhTRuGU3
"Uhm...Talia?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwqBPMv6YX
Talia didn't respond. She was too focused on his face to. Catherine snaps her fingers in front of her face, trying to wake her up.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv9kDosfFz
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9VYDtFI91
"I know...just don't mind her.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC1JOAKpN2
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfEliGmh8S
"Is that what we're calling it?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGkZ2PUCCQ
"For now.." He walks off.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbejDtk7dB
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKm5cBgj17
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HU9s8lq9c
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWyTD7DDUW
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzOmstNxwK
"Tal!" Catherine places both of her hands on her face and forces her to look at her.
"I'm serious! Don't tell a damn soul!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYH0pRcaT9
"Okay! Jeez.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6LmwGqeSI
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLI7KoSi6t
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfrGf7IBax
"See you tomorrow?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24fQGnTX9o
"Maybe..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoxmxYdN8l
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ48uGlrugl
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDMxNAGRIX
"I'm coming.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx1OW9WPmZ
The duo makes it to the sanctuary, where the other half of the Prodigies, Isabelle, Ezra and Arsenio, were chatting with each other. Their conversation was put on hold when Catherine and Nathaniel walked in.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNXPlfKqmF
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXWiioVJMu
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RGplnDsKB
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69sRQlq25e
"...What are we talking about?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CvOApvP80
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLI3VrMkiQ
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZdwalnUwX
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiqwfULhhU
"I'm pretty sure I took every single one out. It might be something on the inside that prevents someone from taking it off by disassembly."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6FuOc4qEZ
"Prodigies!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4s1qGXFD2
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbAHcbdh8s
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vWQaf9sLx
"And?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEk9f9DkhO
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJnsDwkRxs
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBmugMH3cs
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeL9hLlJE9
"Catherine!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eo34EElBH
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7to5r5cvIX
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7QxmznHzD
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlI5yejmqP
All eyes were on her.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2bQzKNlmB
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfQlKrw0Xi
"Well then, hurry! I managed to pinpoint the dimension's location and I don't know when a Timebreaker will appear.." Verna turns to Ezra. "You have to stay here, for your safety."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRfNOa3B4x
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBuAqh8Kdx
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhV9eXw2L5
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNLYeCdqF2
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbCdYsSAsu
On the other side, another Timebreaker was already starting to terrorize Talia. Its arm, covered in vines and flowers, hand and tree-like fingers gripped onto Talia with relative ease.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmacrRJPs6l
"Talia!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXl0iC90p4
"Catherine! H-Help!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8Z67TkzNM
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjPTRheE0a
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT7ACZ7yUA
"Catherine, distract her..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3I38zUwqw
"Why do I have to?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkySC7LOMyD
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPeXlmHMik
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeHTinE7nD
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEqAE5Ohau
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA1no2uYkI
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ4yfjtutR
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogWJL8rQwS
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaKwbZYfRF
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xGKH9vEvk
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6v6SHgzt0
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj2em0VRmI
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWif6uL3cV9
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtrfUL04HB
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lDa2KT200
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfL5MumgxF
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5eBY08pAI
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFMWdLTGhU
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3EpnkBCf5
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GADzUwua0
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5nAeCOPFW
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPnYUR1FuD
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oasWupOPC
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0bJiGdfIe
As for Arsenio...he ran straight for Isabelle. But as Nathaniel was trying to kill Catherine where she stood, he tried to... cuddle with her?
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejp0iEydDq
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpQgPt3RVG
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFzZ2huOGU
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwmvtIWn5k
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OUdQRE6bp
"Verna! A little help here?!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIdDiYXZSg
Verna appears and clears her throat...
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzze49DPJd
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjRn7vavoh
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3HnpaMlC9
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL7rDW6VQw
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gOFUocLfZ
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DTuZDUcFZ
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkwAxsn0wY
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVBr8sM3W1
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSKA09fAfn
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4StAdh81V
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO3yI0EUM1
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoA78aLOMx
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKdThsZXMI
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbre94hu6kz
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5YTRec4z5
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bIeAiInlG
"Hah! Dumbass!" While he's still running towards her, Catherine holds a leg out and trips him. He immediately falls face first into the ground.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjlcSRiegh
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEkUhbpU0M
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8iAZQh9DV
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4APU1OHNX1
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsDv01qPdJ
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk1lbeCEeo
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWO7dLd9pH
No matter how much she tried to negotiate, it didn't seem like he was switching back to normal. With an arm raised, he swiftly jabs down. Catherine just managed to move out of his attack.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmIARzXjyW
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8PenRN5cD
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JIozXSQqs
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUPMYkaSse
"Boop." She said playfully.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdeor4OqKB
"What did you just..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ8Rt5FKJe
His face scrunches up.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lJiQKDx6a
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTl9KkOn2f
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhQppGWW8M
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeZpdLn3OE
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tR4kohPI3
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMtkuvXNSr
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHINlAO0yuC
"Has thou tried struggling?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4p4PQi65A
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWO2H741S0
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Pf04FBTu
"H-hm?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Ig5AMV2u
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZiEOHYNCL
"A-Arsenio..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVWDoanVLy
"Mhm?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xP64Htyqw
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV03uCrGJ4F
"Aww..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsc5J7AwI7
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkipEDiARNn
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XXR3hQCFC
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXNWplMpCt
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajCGJ6WlAo
"Alright, no one snuggles with Izzy and gets away with it!" Dawlly said angrily. With a strong tug of the thread, Isabelle's expression grew to anger. Large amounts of thread spilled from every inch of her body to wrap around Arsenio's arms.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZATy0nv6e
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMigxiSoPZ
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkibQlyF32U
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXvnKjsnan
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTpkzPnsRY
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivxue8U90y
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1JHijrFPp
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUgdEAgibc
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9PEaKcJ4r
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmrfmhpmoh
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA3V0CrsZ1
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7RFPDt35L
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKCVMFdQhH
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtZlus5mUo
"Yeah yeah..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW1WluYAGW
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwilAkFL2QI
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDo9pjFsUr
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUsndFnm0s
"...If you so desire."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJjPfhqWLA
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ1tbxjqIJ
"...H-Hi..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNcWbl5SZT
"Catherine. Take her home."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEasqcRZePH
"I've got it this time, I swear."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1bQSjFOte
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZJV53zs0Z
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcdON2OPpr
"Uhhh.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJiaFA4XfV
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU0hlef7wo
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeJEcOUFmW
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XisdkD4TV
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxiBAQJecB
"...Come back every once in a while, okay?"

"Alright! Get out of here, before something else comes here!"

"Okay! Okay!" Talia pulls herself off and walks into the time warp. It then closes.

"Prodigies. Before you go." Venus' voice was very soft but stern. "There is something I must tell you."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhSULT0nNL
"Yeah? What is it?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvUdLGU6Lc
"...Something or someone is doing this to us. Turning us...into these monsters. I'm just breaking from the trance, but I only have a little time...Pierrot and the other Timebreakers. We were all Prodigious like you. Something overtook us. Be careful, because if you see it...it is too late for you.."

A time warp appears behind Venus, she drags herself through it, never to be seen again.

"...Nate, you know the most Prodigy stuff out of all of us. What was she talking about? What is that it?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fgryxIE5m
"I am...not quite sure myself. What or whoever it is, however, they are pure evil.."

"Catherine. Nathaniel. A-Arsenio's back to normal...I-I think..."

"He better be!" Dawlly adds. "I won't hesitate to make her cut him open!"

Muffled by the amount of thread covering his mouth, Arsenio responds. "I think I'm okay...just a little confused on how I got in this situation.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9dwhTEXce
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7igdhBqSim
"Yeah, let's not. Whatever I did must've been really uncomfortable, so I'd like to apologize...as soon as I'm let go."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UTcX4XWBu
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkYWvr8cBD
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH81s1pa9xE
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSe8V8Whgm
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRGG6UIyjK
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s9oEDuh5c
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfSGWB8WEp
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."

"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lrk8yWZKs
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Tvk3fL8F
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LgjyLUOyL
"E-Ezra, we're back.."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DdSdPyHxn
"Welcome back. I made some food for us, I'm sure you four are hungry after the adventure you've had."

She places a lavish meal in front of them, which the Prodigies promptly ate. After chatting a bit and some quiet time, the Prodigies all fell asleep in their appropriate beds. Except for Catherine, of course.

Something was keeping her up. Not her writing notebook, but an itchy pain on her neck. Maybe she had an allergic reaction to the pollen after all...
