TwoKinds: Dimensional Catastrophe

Part 12: Jumping the Gun

After a montage on traveling...
In a carriage...

Tracy Where are we going?
Florence I hope this doesn't end as a pointless adventure!
Keitha Yeah! What they said!
Kyle These doubles are feisty... Don't worry, this isn't worthless.
Tracy Okay, but I still can't believe I was some "Grand Templar."
Trace I was, too.
Tracy You were?
Trace Uh-huh. Let's just say I've gone through what you would have gone through.
Tracy Okay, that's...pretty weird...
Trace Oh, sorry if I creeped you out...
Tracy No, that's okay-
Florence Uh, Trscy? You may want to take a look at this.
Tracy Woah...
Keitha What's that?
Keith That's the Legacy Estate. If I'm female here, I wonder if there's a male Natani... Eugh...
Tracy "Legacy Estate?"
Trace Your own mansion! Looks similar to my own.
Tracy You own a mansion?
Trace Apparently. Same name too.
Tracy Woah...
Coachman We're here...

Everyone got off the large coach--Kyle paying the fee--and gawked at the manor. They went up to the front door.

Tracy Uh, should I knock? Or-
??? Ah, Tracy Legacy. I thought you were dead, same as everyone else.
Tracy Uh, you are?
??? Ah'm- *cough* I'm Roslyn, your seneschal.
Tracy What is-
Kyle It also means "major-domo." She's basically the head steward.
Roslyn Er, yes, correct. Well, come on in.

Inside the glorious mansion...

(synchronized)
Roslyn If you haven't already know, this glorious, dragon-sized mansion was built for Tracy Legacy since her late tens to early twenties. The mansion itself composes of many guestrooms, a master bedroom, a main kitchen, many bathrooms, a dungeon, an attic, four wings, and so forth. The mansion itself has three floors, although the third floor is off limits. Tracy, I will escort you to your bedroom. Your, er, friends can pick any room they like. I don't know much about Keidran accomodations, and--I know I mustn't say this--but your friend there just looks like you.
Kyle I know this will skip a few chapter, as well as altering the original plot, but I'm not going through the entire story. Sure, maybe it took the same amount of days--maybe more, maybe less--but at least we'll have shelter until the device fully charges. Then I can send us to another reality; and the more realities we travel to, the closer we will be to Trace's home. Oh, and I must find a way to get all of his friends home. I guess Lola will take care of the rest and change everyone back. But after that, I must get home, and possibly bring Tom with me... Nevertheless, that doesn't matter now. It will take at least a day until the device is charged enough, even though it takes twice to thrice as long to ensure a travel stright to Trace's home dimension. For now, I really need to rest...
Tracy I think...he is me...
Trace/Roslyn Huh?
Kyle What?
Roslyn What do you mean?
Trace You knew all along?
Tracy Well, I naturally assuned...
Kyle Welp, there goes our cover... Uh, Roslyn, is it? When do we go to our rooms?
Roslyn Oh, you don't want tea?
Kyle I'm not that kind of person.
Sythe/Flora/Florence/Raine/Keith/Keitha I'm fine, thanks.
Tracy/Trace We're okay.
Roslyn Oh, er, okay. But, uh, Tracy, what he said was, uh... It confuses me.
Kyle To put it simply, we are from the future of another timeline.
Roslyn Oh my! Really?
Trace Uh, yeah...
Tracy That explains you and your friends...
Kyle But seriously, I'm tired, and you would not like me when I'm tired.
Roslyn Oh, uh, we are near bedrooms, you know. Each door has a guest bedroom and a guest bathroom-

Kyle immediately stormed into one,

Roslyn Ah... W-well, make youselves comfortable... Tracy, if you would follow me-
Tracy Uh, can he come too.

Trace blushed; Flora grew jealous but got distracted by Florence's silent flirting.

Roslyn What's your name, sir?
Trace It's Trace Legacy, Roslyn.
Roslyn Really? And are you sure that's who you are?
Tracy Roslyn, leave him be.
Roslyn Very well. Come along, "Trace," Tracy.

Both Trace and Tracy followed Roslyn to the master bedroom.

Trace Uh, goodnight, guys...
Others Uh, goodnight...Trace...

It was an awkward night; but Kyle couldn't sleep...

Kyle I have that...feeling again, that...presence... I know I have learned about the "presence of mind" and all that, but he keeps following me... Or do I sense...Neutral? Or is it Ephemeral? Whoever I sense, bad luck shall come our way...
