Shiloh Beaumont (25/25) // Oliver Beaumont (25/25) +1 Persuasion
Shiloh immediately wanted Eightloh's fries. Not right away of course; only when his lookalike hoarded them away like a selfish child. Sharing was caring; but he said nothing. His posture relaxed and his mind slowed down and the magic between his fingertips dulled into a gentle static. His eyes came to rest on Dana for a while, trying to find anything familiar about her. If there was anything, it wasn't coming to him.
He elbowed Oliver.
"Hey!" he hissed under his breath, rubbing his arm. The pair watched as Jamie took Dana's invitation to sit down, and in one fell swoop Shiloh followed (protectively) after him, and Oliver was left between standing there awkwardly or also joining them. He joined them. Awkwardly.
“Renard, huh..." Shiloh let the name roll off of his tongue. He didn't know the Renard from his time very well (not personally, anyway) but he remembered his face from the Ball and his name carried that weight along with it. He shook his head. “It's uh, nice to meet you guys I guess..." he was echoing Jamie, “I'm also Shiloh. And this is also Jamie. And this is—"
"Oliver." His eyes had been trained on Eightloh the entire time, or close to it. Occasionally he had looked down to his lap, or over at 80's Jamie (he was so quiet compared to their Jamie), but... "But you knew that, I guess." he mumbled, a little sullen.
Shiloh nudged him again.
“We're not from... around here," Shiloh was piggybacking off of Jamie's words again, “Actually, we're trying to get back home." he glanced away to his Jamie and his Oliver in tandem, wondering how much of the truth he should divulge. Jamie hadn't taken that initiative yet; should they wait on it? He nudged him under the table, seeking out his hand with his own. It was almost a reflex at this point. “It's really complicated."
Oliver was nodding, because even he didn't understand it all that well. "Very..." He shifted in his seat, and then unable to hold the question back anymore he asked, "Why did you look at me that way?" He could only assume Eightloh had his own 80s brand Oliver, so where was he at? He shuffled against Shiloh in the booth. Shiloh only frowned at the question, but had no words really to offer him.

Temperance Clark | 25/25 no roll modifiers
{{WAIT I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A QUESTION TO ASK WHAT AM I DOING}}
Temperance looked over at Liam, and then looked away, certain he could sense that she was the one in the square and not this time's Temperance. "Ah, okay, thank you. I'm from Ashdown - where they're from and had heard that they migrated up here after a bit." A lie, of course, but what was one more lie to the ones she'd already told?
The Shore family, specifically one Sunny Shore, was at the heart of the problem, but what was she supposed to do if they weren't here? Or, even worse, if they didn't exist in this time? What if that was the problem? There was no fixing that one, any way she sliced it. Temperance's mind ran in circles and her mouth felt dry. She smiled wanly at the other Temperance and tried to think of what next.

Temperance Clark | 25/25 no rolling modifier
She looked up at Liam, a little startled by his sudden movement. "Yes, Massachusetts. And, um, yes, I've spoken to Vivien a few times." Saying that was a gamble. Did seances and fairy ball talks with spirits count? Temperance wasn't entirely sure Vivien was alive in this current time, from what she'd heard, it seemed like Vivien died and died and died each time.
Temperance snorted inelegantly at other Temperance's observation: an almost-laugh poorly disguised as a cough. She tucked a strand of hair behind one ear.
"Yes, from what I recall." The Shore Estate was, right? Temperance wracked her brain. "I seem to remember a distinct appreciation for art. Have you kept in contact with any of them?"

"Oh," says Liam.
"Awkward," says Temperance, and, apparently taking pity on her identical stranger, she leans a little closer and says, "Vivien passed away a few years ago. Brain tumor. Inoperable. I guess you didn't hear?"
She sighs and then, finally, eats the damn olive.
"All the magic in the world," sighs Liam. "Like I said, I've never heard of the shore family - maybe they showed up after I moved down here. Did you want a drink? It's on the house tonight."
Temperance indicates the steely-haired gentleman sitting alone in a booth. "Our generous benefactor," she says, and lifts her drink to her lips. "Cheers."

This time, Temperance did startle. Of everything, she hadn't expected that reaction. She also hadn't thought it through before opening her mouth. "I... You... you, um, know what I mean. You, Renard, ..e-everyone. It goes and it goes and it goes and it cycles, right." That was how it worked. At least once every 22 years, wasn't it? She looked around, feeling like even talking about it in this time was a mistake. Temperance needed someone more eloquent, better suited to explanations, maybe.
"Zac!" Her eyes latched onto him, hoping he would come over and save her from her own words.

Temperance Clark | 25/25 no rolling modifier
She sighed deeply, trying to control her rising panic over things. This was it, wasn't it? Liam of all people would know what she meant. Liam would have known and he didn't and this was how everything was wrong. No shores, no Sunny, no cycles. "No," she said. "I didn't take anything, didn't use any, um, down-market magic." Instinct dictated that she should feel defensive about their questions, so she deliberately squashed that feeling, and instead focused on the things between the lines. Magic could be a drug here, in New York, no less - so weird. How had everything gotten so commonplace?
Zac, no, Griff - and she'd forgotten that momentarily, caught up in things - looked at her. "Nothing here, or in Ashdown, is ever coincidence, Liam." She moved over towards Zac.
"You can stay quite over there, Shun Kuroda."
