Dune and Michi, Near where The Golden Gate Bridge used to be (at Night), Modern(?) Times

"That's not what I meant," Michi replied hastily. "What I meant was... I had a vision. While I was in..." she motioned to the wrecked and disemboweled tendril-thing on the sand. "... there. It showed me... what this child... Sam, would do later in life. She would... destroy this place. And mine. And she likely wouldn't stop there..."

This was something of a test. Shamans, while rare, were so prevalent in her collective society, whatever they might look like, that one mentioning she had a vision was not only a common occurrence, it was a cause for concern if she didn't. If this person reacted strangely at all to her saying she had a vision, Michi would know that she was nowhere near her home... a frightening prospect.

But she was a Shaman. She would pull through. She had to.

He completely disregarded the thought of her being a psychic and said "Electrocutions usually cause Hallucinations. That and that thing looked like it was designed for vivisection, there's a good chance it was starting to pump you full of narcotics to keep you passive."

The thought came back "How did you..." he pointed at the man on the ground "do that?" he said with a rather hesitant voice.

Leigh, Entrance to a hallway, New York City, Night. Modern(?) Times
This whole thing was beginning to smell seriously off to Leigh. Sure, at first it had just been an excuse to see somewhere new and have some fun, but these coincidences were becoming far too close to home for her liking.
The interruption of a man dressed in the exotic robes like the ones she saw the travelling arabs wear at the markets stalled Leigh?s thought processes long enough for whatever doubts she had wither away. This place was probably dangerous.
?Hi there!? She trilled from behind her escort, waving a hand in greeting.

"Hi there!"
Seeing a friendly face, Saoshyan began to frantically motion over his shoulder, and took off back towards the door. He didn't know if the strange duo could help, but he was completely out of ideas himself. He didn't really understand the rotating contraption, having never seen its like, but he hoped one of the pair would be able to help.
CALLED IT.

She looked back over at the corpse. "I... I didn't. I think it might have been..." She motioned to the broken thing on the sand.

Leigh, Entrance to a hallway, New York City, Night. Modern(?) Times
Intrigued, Leigh grabbed her escort?s hand and dragged him along out the door, following the arab man. He had indicated he wanted them to follow and while Leigh wasn?t usually in the business of following strange tattooed men, she figured that due to circumstances, she?d be able to get away with it.
She emerged into a large atrium, marble and impressive, but with the jungle clawing at its sides, eager to enter. At end of the room was a revolving door, and a man with his leg caught in the gap. And not only that, strange lizard beasts were slamming against the door, all claws and feathers and snarling teeth. The man?s face was contorted with pain.
Leigh acted without thinking. Dropping Brian?s hand she ran forward and grabbed the side of the door, easing it off the trapped man. With her spare hand she pulled him out of the door way and then grasped hold of the revolving contraption as the beasts continued to slam into it.

Aeronwen, In a Mall at Night, Modern Times(?)
"You my dear are in the wrong place in the wrong time." The woman in white and red spoke to her, the wolf gave an answering growl as well.
What was odd was the fact they didn't seem to move their lips, and she heard them rather clearly.
The others in the group looked at the three of them with odd glances, and whispered to each other. if things couldn't get any worse, glass began to shatter, followed by screams and shouts, as pieces pierced and slashed at exposed skin.

The buzzing was coming from the ground floor, and judging that the group around her dissolved in to panic, excluding the wolf and woman. They both still stood stoic and silent, looking at Aeronwen. Glass flying, none seemed to reach the three of them.
(I'll have to speed you along)

Wigbert, The Land Between Lands, Unknown
(OOC much?)
The sword pierced its chest straight through the rib cage, the weight of the body dragging both Wigbert and blade down. Black ichor seeping from the wound and on to his armor, it let forth a gurgle, like a chuckle.
Arms reach around slower then the speed it displayed before, its claws and sinewy arms looking deadly as ever.

(Sam in your arms is well old enough to eat, speak, walk, and such on her own, just saying. If this was merely a nod to race and species difference then never mind.=P)
Sam looked up at Michi, then to Dune, then at last at her hands.
"Oh no."
Her voice in disbelief and sounding almost foreign in the articulation and age behind it. To Michi it was new, to Dune he recognized the tone as none other then the woman on the ground.
"Miss Blue, mind putting me down?"

SamtheDeathclaw said:
"My god... you're Ezekiel!"
Brian shouted out as Leigh pulled the man out, her strength more then a match for the time.
Motioning for Saoshyan to drag Ezekiel to the back room, he ran to the door to help Leigh.
Grabbing from his belts keys, he slotted it in to a small box at the base of the doors.
With a sharp turn, and the sound of hissing, the door locked in place more or less. Still shuddering from every smack and with enough space for Leigh to easily fit her hands on either side, the immediate danger seemed to be over.
---
Groaning in pain Ezekiel looked surprised at someone knowing his name, and reached a hand to Saoshyan for a shoulder to lean on.

Wigbert, Unknown, Night
Wigbert should've seen that one coming, actually. He silently cursed himself for not just moving to the side. Oh well, style points were achieved. He decided to look for a way out of this. The first step involved killing the wolfman, so he set about that job. He activated his powers once more again, full power, and with the brightness cranked up a bit to stun the damn mongrel. The now free to move Wigbert proceeded to place his hand on the lycanthropes forehead, letting loose an arrow.

Michi blinked, but obliged, making sure to keep the girl wrapped up, and in arm's reach. "What's the matter?"

She really wished her mind-reading still worked...

I was under the impression that she was a baby. XD

Saoshyan helped Ezekiel up, and helped him hobble to the back room, where the strangely dressed man had gestured for him to go.
He was relieved that the pair had been able to help, and a little bit nervous the woman had been able to pry Ezekiel out so easily. She certainly seemed preternaturally strong. And something about her was simply off. Her legs and arms, though he didn't get a good look at them, seemed... Strange, somehow. Metallic.
He pushed the thoughts away, and helped Ezekiel, who seemed to be in somewhat of a shock, to the back room.

Leigh gaze never left the animals on the other side of the glass. Her metal hands were flush to the door and her circuits sparked with excitement as her mouth lit up with a wide smile.
?What are those things?? She whispered, almost reverently, to Brian.

Dune's gaze drifted back and forth between the unconscious woman on the ground and the little girl.

That isn't Sam

He looked at the little girl "What did you do to Sam?"

Michi looked over at Dune, confused. "I-I didn't do anything to her. What do you mean? Is something wrong?"

Not taking his eyes off of her "The mannerisms are... different."

Wigbert, Unknown, Night
Piercing the skull, blood splattered behind it on to the wooden boards that comprised the bridge.
Slumping against him the arms drooped to its side, and it was still.
Gray matter and such now splattered his armor, and his arm was covered in gore that dulled the light so bright.

The sound of falling air and a whoomp of air Heralded the arrival of Ash, her hair still remaining quite fixed above her head, colored a dull silver. Her clothes remaining the same, she had managed to land on to the corpse of the wolf being.
Looking bleary eyed, and surprised, she stared at Wigbert and blinked.
"Let's hurry up and leave, before I open up the Mist and let something else in.

Standing up rather shakily she stumbled as she moved forward in a ghastly gait.

"Neither of you did anything wrong, and Dune, I'm Samantha. Nineteen year old Samantha, in the body of her younger self because of some strange time distortion stuff."
Sighing deeply that spoke of, I'm getting to old for this shit.
"I know it's hard to understand, but if you slip the suit off from my head, you can tell that we're related."
Turning to face Michi, "As for you miss, you mind gracing me with your name? I can't keep calling you Blue."
---
The woma-, Samantha's(?) older body in her full body suit did indeed cover her head, leaving only the mouth exposed. Her eyes were covered with dull white reflective screens, like shades. Curious as it was, she showed no signs of waking, and appeared to be sleeping.

"Raptors, carnivores, nasty and with sharp teeth and claws. They'd tear us apart, you on the other hand... probably could go toe to toe."
Brian sighing and moving furniture (a key had locked some of the heavier objects in place), grunted with the effort to barricade the door.
"The company that owns this place, made the furniture to be quite sturdy, in case of things... like this?"
Tossing her a smaller ring of keys, "Would you mind moving the furniture against the door? I need to treat Ezekiel."

Saoshyan heard a voice, clear as day and clearly not heard by Ezekiel as he groaned.
Why delay his fate? He will die. You had chosen and have doomed him.

Michi blinked again. Now they were talking about time travel? "Uh... My name is Michi. I'm a Shaman of my people... who don't appear to be anywhere near here. Where... where are we, exactly? Why does nobody else have fluorescent skin or eyes? Why was I told you were going to destroy worlds?"

No. Saoshyan thought back, shaking his head to rid it of such invasions. You have no power to decide the fates of these people, Angra Mainyu. You will not lead me astray.
He set his jaw firmly, and helped Ezekiel sit down. He seemed to be in a great deal of pain. Saoshyan felt awful for it. He hadn't been able to help, and Ezekiel was suffering the consequences of it.

The confusing nature of the situation was starting to get to him.
"I don-" he walked over to the unconscious woman on the ground.
"Time Tra-?" he crouched down over her and began to remove her mask.

Wigbert, Unknown, Night
Wigbert moved to her quickly, helping her stay up with his clean arm, and trying to brush some of the brain and blood off his other. He used the semi-clean arm to light up the path, slightly but was better than dark.
"Lead me if you must." Wigbert said quietly.
