player plot | when my time comes around, pt. 4

[cozen]

WHO: Anyone!
WHAT: Time warp!
WHEN: Solas 20 (3ish weeks ago)
WHERE: The Gallows & the road to Granitefell
NOTES: Another part of this player plot. This one is open to everyone, including dead characters, but only the time traveling characters will have any knowledge of the last 3 weeks. One more log for everyone to come back to life (slash have been alive all this time) will go up soon! And then we will be done.

Solas 20 is a normal day in the Gallows. A fairly quiet one, even, because a full third of Riftwatch has recently departed to assist the survivors of an attack on Granitefell on the plains north of the Vinmarks. That, like everything else, is business as usual, until a rift opens in the fortress and three members of Riftwatch emerge.

This is not the strangest thing that has ever happened to Riftwatch, but considering they're three members who are also already here—less fresh-faced, maybe, but otherwise basically the same people—it's up there.

Thinking they're demons would be fair. But they only have so much time to accomplish something rather important, so ideally they will not be immediately murdered.

With the full third of Riftwatch gone, the other two in the middle of busy work days, meetings, errands, studies, the only person they have to explain themselves to is somebody carrying a load of washing in a basket through the courtyard. They scare him quite badly (he drops the washing), but he's persuaded quickly to continue on without speaking about what happened. Gela smooths the transaction by pressing a few coins into his trembling hand.

She says, while they walk quickly away, "To the Provost, first, and if he isn't there, the Commander." Repeating the plan helps with her nerves. She adds tentatively, "Or we send the Provost the message, before we try anybody else.

Wait, do we have a message for the Commander?"
