"You speak of things you know little about, and this conversation achieves nothing. Speak to me if you have something of meaning to say."
<color=green>Oh! A happy face on this girl. That's new! "That would be something."
"Actually, remember the Royal Botanical Gardens in our history books, Winona?"
<color=green>"Oh yeah! It was advertised as being over a thousand years old in our time period."
"We've nearly gone back a thousand years, but I'm sure that we can still visit it. It's in Edinburgh."

"Our schedule alows some time for us to go to this place, does it not?" Yeul asked after the sisters spoke, looking to Caius.
Caius looked over his shoulder to Yeul from looking around for the bounty store, and nodded. "We can make the time."
"Splendid."
After saying that, Yeul was quiet for a moment, then looked to the sisters again, having gone over something Winona said. "You come from a time a thousand years from now?"

Caius would see a small, entirely ordinary looking shop, with a sign above the door. The sign read "Ye Olde Bounty Shoppe".
"I have never seen further into the future then fivehundred years. I had expected humanity would be... different with more time to change given." Yeul mused. "Yet here you stand, recognisable and relatable. It is a bit peculiar."
"That would be the place." Caius stated as he saw the bounty store, looking back down after looking up to read the sign. Approaching the store front, Caius opened the door and entered.

Caius, upon entering, would see the faceless person standing behind the counter. "How can I help?" they asked.
<color=green>"Well, in fact there are some differences that you might not have noticed. In a thousand years, the English language that is spoken has evolved into something different. Not too much though, since it's been standardized, otherwise it would've taken us ages to learn it. Our particular style of fashion is that of the Victorian era, which is an even 200 years into the past. A lot of people brought it back in again and it was a huge hit because the era we live in is about complacency. In addition to that, we haven't shown you the technology we use, or any technology from our future. You'll see it in due time." Winona nodded and smiled.
"Under what circumstances were you able to see that far into the future?"
<color=purple>"I can predict what can happen at most ten minutes from now when I'm in Graviton Form at maximum energy. By what method are you using to see that far?" Gwen chimed in as well. Both of them were curious as to Yuel's claim, and were interested in what she had to say.

Entering the store and seeing the faceless person, Caius stopped moving as he looked at them, his eyebrows and a single corner of the mouth raised as he looked on in confusion. This didn't last long, however. Caius soon shook his head and recomposed himself, stepping forther into the store and approaching the person. "I have some questions to ask." He anounced. "I have heard this place is from an other world. I... see those rumors are correct?"
"So while you live in the future, appearal from this present its past has made its way into popularity? What an odd development." Yeul stated to Winona, following Caius into the bounty store. There, she too, was taken aback by the faceless person's appearance, looking on in confusion. It took her a bit longer then Caius, but eventually, she recomposed herself, also, looking back to the sistes.
"You cannot see it now, but I have been... bestowed the Eyes of Etro, as has every seeresses that preceeded me." She answered EMily, pausing for a moment before saying 'bestowed', wherein she looked away. "As events transpire in the future, the effects ripple through the timeline. Once the future is decided, the past is altered to accomodate the outcome.
My gift alows me to pick up on these ripples. As such, I could not claim I have control over my power. I stand a passive observer." She answered Gwen, looking to her.

EMily rubbed her chin.
"Hmmm... it would be interesting to see into this world's future from your point of view and see how well it holds up to the history books I've read."
Gwen made a intrigued smile on her face.
<color=purple>"It sounds like you have a fascinating standpoint on how timelines work. Although there must be some restrictions on what you can tell people about the future. Surely there must be people that are too greedy to give them information. We limit our conversations with the public of this world as to not reveal what could happen."

"There is a story behind that." Yeul stated in response to Gwen, shifting position a little. "I am descendant from the people of Paddra, which at the time - approximately eighthundred years ago - was the largest city-state on Gran Pulse. Its people were always ruled and guided by a seeress such as I. One fated day, the seeress prophesied the fall of Paddra. This divided the populace. Some decided to accept their fate and await it. Some decided to abandon Paddra. Others actively decided to change the fate. The divide degraded into civil war, and Paddra tore itself apart. In the present day, it stands in ruin, and a remembrance to the seerssess to never speak things that were not meant to be known." She explained, then shook her head and blew a mute sigh. "No seeressess have ever spoken of their visions to any but their guardian since, myself included."
After speaking, Yeul was quiet for a moment, then looked to EMily. "As it stands, I have not recieved any visions of times to come on this world. Presumably, no actions that would alter the timeline have been taken. Or, my power may simple not work in this place. I could not say with certainty."
As Yeul told the story, Caius was quiet for a moment, looking to the side, but looked back to the faceless person eventually. "And I understand you may come and go at your leisure?"

Eric would see Alain sitting by himself at one of the tables, staring at the rock he held in his hands.
<color=purple>"It reminds me of the legend of the Oracle of Delphi, Pythia. Before a great war, a king asked Pythia about the outcome of the war. She replied with the response that an empire will fall from his conflict. But the king didn't realize that it was his own kingdom that would fall. It does sound like a lot of responsibility. If you don't mind me asking, why did you take up the job of seeress?"
"Ah... very good then." EMily said, and began looking around at the posters.
OOC: Fun fact, Pythia is the name of the program I use in my own simulations of particles. It is named directly after the prophet, because of the carefulness one must use when wanting to know how multiple events will be simulated.

At last... "How do you go about this, then?" Caius asked the faceless person. "My chage and I were transported to this world against our will, and wish to return to the world from whence we came. If you can travel between worlds at will, tell us how to do the same."
"I did not." Yeul responded, shaking her head. "Who would become the next seeress is decided by fate. One is chosen before even their birth."
