Forty-Second Theory [Voice/Action for Housemates]

[i_speak_softly]

[Don is feeling a little claustrophobic today. The number of vehicles he has stashed in his workroom has increased to five over the past week, and he's running out of room to build more. He'd been hoping that the wet, overcast weather would break so he could take his work outside, but that didn't exactly pan out. It is sunny today, but it's also unseasonably cold.]

[Determined to continue his work anyway, Don has shoved all the furniture out of the way and set up camp in the living room, surrounded by a mass of lightweight canvas and metal struts. Hang-glider Number Four is now Under Construction.]

[It's been quite some time since he asked a general question over the journals, so he decides to do so now. Companionable conversation is just what he needs to make the repetitive work go faster.]

If you had access to Shifting technology, and could change something about the world - what would you do? How long would you make it last?

[He also has some things he wants to talk about with Mike and Master Splinter - separately, that is. If they don't stop by while he's working, he'll be looking for them later.]

Cardiff, Wales, Earth. There's a temporal rift there, nature's own version of shifting. It was our job to look after it, pick up the things that came through. We had technology to manipulate it to a point, but you're talking about something that has the potential to grab anything, from anywhere, in all of time and space.

We opened it once, tried to set everything back into its proper place. The results were...not good.

Wow. [He tries to imagine that - like living with Renet as one temporal disaster after another befalls her.]

I haven't had very good luck with time travel either.

[coffeeking]

No? What happened, if you don't mind my asking?

[i_speak_softly]

Got sent to a strange corner of medieval Europe and met some old enemies.

[coffeeking]

How did you get back?

[i_speak_softly]

Same way I got there.
