Liam looks around the bar. "I... I'm not sure," he says.

He passes Temperance a glass of tonic water.

Whatever Oliver sees, Shun apparently doesn't. He blinks. "Stop what?"

Mika turns, her attention shifting from Shiloh and Jamie (Sibyl seems to be occupying them, anyway) to Zac.

"What's that, honey?" she asks, crouching to be more on his level. "I mean, I'll hear you out, but - do you have any idea how much planning went into this? We can't just call it off because you have a bad feeling..."

She looks over at Sibyl. "What do you think? Kid says his spidey senses are piqued."

Sibyl doesn't have a watch, but she makes as if to check one anyway before rolling her eyes at herself. There's a clock across the room; she looks to that instead. "Sure," she says, crossing her legs at the ankles. She's very elegant. "What is it?..."

Her attention is drawn, not to Zac, but to Mika. "If we stopped every time our 'spidey senses'--" she didn't actually make air quotes, but they were obvious in her voice "--went off, we'd never get anything done. We'll begin on time, as planned."

The air starts to grow heavy again, the pressure bearing down on the assembled time-travelers.

"I get that, a, a wake for your friends and loved ones. That's huge. But even if you don't put it on hold for a moment maybe you could help me try and search for whatever is putting that feeling out there. I'm not even properly part of this but I don't want to see it ruined or anyone hurt."

He paused for a moment on Jerimiah and prayed that someone else would try and help fish him out while he worked on the 'club exploded' issue for a moment.

He closes his eyes and tries to focus on 'feeling' where it is. If they won't do anything maybe he still can now he knows that magic, sort of, works.

"I said no," says Sibyl. "We've still preparation left to do."

She draws a fingertip through the air, orange sparks bleeding off her manicured nails. A circle, a triangle around it, a few illegible-to-Zac runes in the spaces between triangle and circle. Sibyl smacks her palm against her construction, and it shatters apart to coat the stage beneath her with glittering dust. "There. Protective rune."

Hadn't she done that the first time, too?...

((Going to be forcibly escorted into the void))
"... Everyone! Please toss down a protection rune! NOW!" He yells. The ONLY thing protected right now is the stage.!!"


There is a lump in his throat to say it, but he's remembering the fairy ball far too well. The cage was strengthened with blood, what if it had been started with blood, and death.

It gives him a horrifying thought that Mika herself might have helped in this. He suspects Liam must be protected as well, but he's not sure.

He tries to find something sharp on himself, its a stupid thought but he means to try and make the protection rune that America taught him if nothing else. He doubts there is time, everything seems rushed and heavy.

Rabbit Vaughn; bar; 22/22
+1 persuasion, -1 combat

It was all rather horrible, but in the kind of way that made twisted laughter threaten to burble from his throat rather than allow him to think too hard about what he was seeing. Rabbit turned from the spectacle in response to Temperance's shoulder pat and found something more worthwhile for now, especially when the pressure in the room made his hearing go muffled. He was pretty sure protection runes wouldn't help against time travel. He didn't know how to cast one anyway.

He drank.

Temperance Clark | 22/22
-1 combat (glitch)

"Liam." Temperance twisted her glass of tonic water but did not drink from it. "This is gonna sound weird, but I heard some kids talking outside. And I have a bad feeling. Liam, they said this place was going to go 'sky high' tonight. We need to l-" She looked up at him and then jerked toward the stage as Zac yelled.

A protection rune? Temperance didn't even know how to do that. She was, as usual, so useless. She turned back, almost knocking over the glass. "Liam," she said urgently. "I don't think we're safe here."

Liam snaps out of whatever the ******** kind of tonic-water induced trance he's been in. The soda gun falls from his hands and begins to spurt orange fanta all over the counter. "The ********?!" he asks, turning towards Temperance. "The fukc?!"

He points to Zac. "Was that one of the kids?" he demands, and then his hands whip through the air again, crackling with speed and electricity as he draws power and forms it into a shining ward that he presses onto the bar. The light travels along the bar like power running through a circuit, and then it wraps around each of the patrons in contact with the bar before disappearing.

"Come with me," he says to Temperance, and vaults the bar. He crosses the room towards Sibyl, skirting the rift entirely by chance.

"Sibyl," he says, pushing Zac aside. "We got a problem."

He looks at Temperance. "Tell her what you told me."

She followed after Liam, not quite matching his speed as he vaulted. "W-what- no. I know him!" Temperance dragged him close to her side even as Liam pushed him away. Zac's presence, as always, was kind of soothing. Get your lies straight, she told herself.

"I - outside, there were some kids - no, I didn't get a good look at them. B-but they said this place, here, was going to go 'sky high' tonight. I thought at first maybe they were joking but I... I feel like they weren't." Temperance chewed her lips.

Jamie Delacroix | 23/23
    +1 to Persuasion
    -1 to Combat

A sigh of relief caught in Jamie's throat, choking him. Sibyl had agreed to hear him out a moment longer, giving them all that precious few seconds to try and figure out what to do. On the other hand, the atmosphere grew heavy, oppressive. Time was slipping away from him quicker than he'd thought.

He turned to Shiloh, squeezing his hand and harshly whispering, "We have to do something." What, though, he didn't know. His eyes caught Jeremiah, still tumbling through the void unsaved. There was that for one. And Jamie couldn't help with protection spells, he didn't know any, he'd never been taught. It would probably look just as out of place to add to Temperance's lie. Saying he'd seen the same nondescript somebodies was out of the question.

Still... if all of them were having bad feelings, one after the other lining up to speak to Sibyl, would she give in and listen?

"T-That sounds bad..." he muttered, "Wouldn't it be safer for everyone here to a-assume the worst?"

Marcus Lacroix 21/21, -1 persuasion

He supposed he did answer his own question. A low hum as he thought, Marcus wasn't given much chance to dwell on what little he'd learned.

Because Jeremiah was currently trapped in an infinite free fall that was the gaping void in the center of the room.

"...well s**t." He was stunned as he watched it happen, finishing off the tonic water eventually, the pressure began to build. Not just in the room, but in the air, under the skin.
Just like before.

Marcus remained fixed on his seat, tense and his mind racing as his anxiety and worry rose.

Zac's yell was what broke him of his train of thought.

He panicked and looking towards the door-
He felt something click in the back of his head. Like a trigger without the need of his hand. The next thing he knew, a bang with light on a much smaller scale was where he'd been looking, and it caused him to fall directly out of his seat.

Unknowingly, he caused a small explosion by the entryway.
He was suddenly quite terrified of what was going on.

"Almasih eisaa."

Sibyl looks puzzled, and then she looks pissed. Her pretty face screws up around the eyes with offense, and she says, "You think I would--" The very idea that she would ever cause harm to Andromache or its patrons seems to infuriate her, but she's swiftly distracted by Liam's intervention--

and by the explosion of light and sound by the door.

She snatches up the microphone nearest her. "Everyone, remain calm," she says. Her voice is amplified, not by technology but by magic. "Come towards the center of the room. If you've a spell for barriers, throw it. If you've detection, come up by me."

She kneels down to speak to Liam. "Babe, that explosion came from the entryway," she says. "Have you seen Jerry?--He's left his booth. I think we need the key from under the bar."

Liam nods the affirmative and throws down another one of his sparking protection wards - apparently he is of the philosophy of "you can never have too many."

He turns, eyes narrowing as he scans the row of booths, his gaze never quite catching Jeremiah in his uncontrolled free-fall. "I... don't know," he says, sounding suspicious, "but we can deal with this without him."

He turns and singles out Jamie "You. The key's in the cash register under the ones. Get it and bring it back here."

Then, he stares towards the stairs, and he rising plume of smoke. "I'm going to go see what that was..."

He strides off with purpose.
