The sound of someone landing onto the ground echoes for a moment as Lava exits Spectator mode. His scarf floating along the air before falling limp onto the floor. His eyes flickering back into the red void of white numbers flowing down like a waterfall.
Raising his hand, a window forms at his fingertips and a keyboard forms from the window. It only took a moment for him to type out what he needed.
ItzLava_ → EnergyBalance(Energy): done yet?
He tapped his feet against the ground inpatiently as he crossed his arms, looking down from the mountain he landed on outside of the Balancer village. He spots one of them pausing and their eyes changing. He already knows who it was.
EnergyBalance(Energy) → ItzLava_: yes. pause now
Smiling, the Player reaches into his pockets and pulling out his pocket watch. His thumb searching for the buttons before finally pressing it. Everything, including the wind passing through the trees, stopped its movements. Complete silence engulfing the entire world.
He lets the watch slips through his fingers and hang from his wrist, lightly swinging side to side despite the paused air. The hands of the clock completely and utterly still.
Someone lands next to the Player and he turns towards them, finding Energy still reciting in his balancer skin. The other Player in disguise brushing off anything that was on his person before looking up at Lava.
EnergyBalance(Energy): sup
"Hey." The manager pulled the rope of his pocket watch and swung it back into his hand. Feeling around the buttons around the clock. "How far did Box want it to fast forward to?"
EnergyBalance(Energy): he wants a moment to set some things EnergyBalance(Energy): he'll tell you how much
"Ah, gotcha." His arm fell by his side and looked out into the paused world. The ocean struck in the flow of its waves, leaves being mid air, and the clouds unmoving. It's almost beautiful, in a haunting way.
⠀ Footsteps could be held rapidly approaching and he turns back towards Energy, blinking when he realizes he wasn't moving. He's looking at him confused, like him.
That... shouldn't be possible.
TimeBalance: Energy? why are you...? EnergyBalance(Energy): wtf
The two Players turned behind themselves, finding a Balancer of time standing before them. His timestaff out and ready for a swing.
Oh... this guy.
"... Fuck, this guy. Right." Lava muttered, before sighing. He faced the steve and stared at him, raising his hand that held his pocket watch up again. Hopefully this wouldn't disrupt too much.
A force lays heavily onto him, like it wants him to stop moving, to stop period. The Balancer had swung his staff. Too bad it wouldn't do anything.
TimeBalance: STOP
"No," He said sharply, mildly inconvenienced by this whole ordeal. "Begone, peasant."
A click of the watch, and the Balancer ceases his movements immediately. His eyes rolling over to the back of his head as he falls over his own feet, landing onto the ground. Some of the grass breaks under him. He spasms a little.
EnergyBalance(Energy): damn what did u do
"Rewinded his memories back to where they're supposed to." The Player shrugs. "Can you bring him back to his spot? Box hasn't said anything yet so you should have time."
EnergyBalance(Energy): even if there aren't you'll just make it anyways
"For you? Hell no." The ‘Balancer’ rolled his eyes as he scoffed, before throwing the time Balancer over his shoulders and flew off towards Time's home. Lava watching him leave before looking down at his watch.
