Witcher - Sailing Through Time

Geralt, Yennefer, and Jaskier woke with a start. "Well that was a whole hell of a lot of shit."

They looked around at their surroundings groaning as they managed to al get themselves to stand. "What the fuck is this?" Geralt asked in confusion. The group stood together on the edge of a ship. "Why are we on a boat?"

"Wait a second," Yennefer looked around some more and then down at her hands, "no no no. Oh no."

"What's wrong witch?"

"For your information bard, my magic I can't feel it. The chaos is.. the chaos is not here."

"Not here?"

Geralt narrowed his eyes. "Wait a damn second," he went to take his Witcher potion but nothing happened. "What is happening?"

"Oh my god if your powers are gone, and you can't go all well scary as hell then can I still sing?" Jaskier asked as he began to sing. "Oh wonderful, I can sing. Seems my powers are still here. Seems that I'm on top between the three of us now."

"Shut it Jaskier."

"Look we are stuck out here on a boat, this isn't exactly ideal, so I am making light of this." He smiled. "I could sing again."

"No!" Both of them shouted in frustration.

Yennefer took a deep breath and looked him over. "Just, just look at the waves Jaskier while we figure this out."

"Alright fine yeah, two powerless people figuring out what's happening while I watch the waves."

"Just because we are powerless doesn't make us stupid." Geralt grunted with a snarl but he knew Jaskier was only trying his best in the situation. "You know what I was wrong, sing for me my song bird."

Jaskier smiled and began to sing softly, Yennefer rolled her eyes for a moment but couldn't help but enjoy their companions singing even if she liked to say she didn't. Yennefer stumbled back into Geralt's arms as a ski jet zoomed past them.

"What in the world was that?"

"I don't think we are on the same plane of existence anymore, when we were attacked on that boat I think we were sent through a portal."

"We traveled through time?"

"More like world hopped but sure. However by whatever that contraption was we are certainly not in the same time period anymore."

"Yet we are on the same boat?"

"Don't think this is the same boat buttercup." Geralt replied with a half smile as they looked around some more. Jaskier watched the water with a soft smile. "Now the question is how do we get off the boat?"

"No, no the question is how do we get back home? How do I get my chaos back!"

"Great question, witch, or should I say ordinary human girl."

"Bard so help me I will kick your ass."

"Sorry touchy subject?" Jaskier smirked. Yennefer eyed the bard as he stood with a smug look on his face as he continued to watch the waves as he had been so kindly instructed.

"I wonder, there is a chance that if we look around the boat some more we will find what we are looking for. The boat got us here, the boat will get us back." Geralt suggested as he ran his hands along the railing.

"So you're putting the chances of us getting home and returning to our on a boat? It's a boat Geralt!" He snapped. "It's a damn boat."

"Well yes, but the boat got us here, it has to get us home." He replied. Yennefer began to pace back and forth, her heels clicking on the deck. "Yennefer give it a chance, we need to try."

She only nodded and wordlessly walked around searching for anything that could possibly bring them back home. They walked around the boat in question, they had no idea where to look, or what to look for. Everything looked so different to them, nothing seemed the same. So they had to look at everything, look for anything.

They continued to look about and when Jaskier picked up a guitar. "Like my lute but not."

"Very nice my love," Geralt smiled looking it over, "we need to find something that will take us home though."

Jaskier began to strum the guitar as they continued to walk around the boat. "It's got to be something, there has to be something that can bring us back." Yennefer muttered as she continued to open boxes, toss things to the side with frustration and kick things over. "What in chaos is this?"

"We are trying alright, trying." Geralt muttered as he kicked the handbag Yennefer tossed at him. The two began to work harder opening a desk drawer when Jaskier came up with some lyrics for their current predicament. He picked up a feathered quill. As soon as Jaskier picked up the quill the boat began to rock with intensity, the three of them rocked with the boats movement. They suddenly came to a stop and they hit the ground once more. As they came to their surroundings were once again familiar.

"What happened?" Yennefer asking slowly standing.

"I picked up a quill, planned on you know writing a little ditty about our time stuck on the boat. Well the other boat I guess, you know cause it's not this boat."

"You mean you actually fixed this yourself? By picking up a quill?"

"I was itching to write a song, at least I have my abilities you know."

Yennefer used her magic to zap his behind, he yelped with a jump. "Yeah but at least I have mine back now bard."

"Oh shut your damn mouth witch." He smiled as he began to write down the lyrics to the song he was planning. Geralt sat back knowing they were fine and safe now, whatever the hell brought them to the time and world they had emerged in may do it again, but for now they were back and safe and happy. They allowed Jaskier to sit and write his music before he began his song once again as the boat rocked softly and the waves crashed.
