Killer's View:
Noir's little hand reached for my finger; it was adorable to see him react to things much more frequently.

* I need to feed him, Killer. :)

* No problem sweetheart, I'll go get you a snack.

* Aww, thank you.

Slash's View:
I was talking a walk when I paused. I was twenty minutes away from home but felt like someone was following me. I still want that confident using my magic so opening a portal wasn't much of an option (unless I was in a super dangerous situation), but-

[ * Hi- ]

* EEK! YOU SCARED ME!

[ * Apologies. ]

* ...Who are you?

[ * Nobody important as of right now. I'm here to help you. ]

* Help me? Pfft I don't need help. Are you related to Nightmare by any chance..?

[ * No. I can help you get your timeline back without sacrificing anyone or anything. ]

* Wait, that's possible?

[ * Mhm, but it takes time. You need to build your magic. ]

* I can barely control my magic yet alone build it up...

[ * I can help with that, if you want to, that is. ]

* You're sure it'll get them back...?

Shattered nodded.

(Slash hadn't been told about Shattered or what he had done.)

* I guess we could give it a try..?

[ * Sure, if you change your mind just tell me... ]

He snapped his fingers and my soul came out.

A tentacle wrapped around it and that tipped me off.

Stay calm.
We're getting Silver back.

I looked at my soul and saw black streaks beginning to appear.

* I...I don't think my soul is resting well.

[ * Oh it is. Trust me. ]

Dust's View:
I checked the time again, this time getting more worried.

7pm

* Epic how is he not home yet??

* I'm sure he just got distracted or fell asleep on a bench somewhere, he'll be home soon.

* We should go out and look for him again.

* His timeline's virus can't enter ours, it didn't take him.
