TEMPORAL TURBULENCE: STONEHENGE&WOODSTOCK
Date & Time: 3089 B.C./1969 A.D.
Location: Assorted
Characters: Anders, Anora, Castiel, Lea, Mukhari, Nathaniel, Raven, Roslyn
Summary: Group #1's adventures spent lost in time.
Warnings: Drugs and hippie nudity?? (notify Elle or Liz of anything else worthy of labeling)
The mission was set. Team members were given their equipment: The cloaking devices would acclimate to the area and disguise them based on the historical data pulled in. There was a weapons check: The Initiative was insistent about having those chosen weapons along for the ride. Four operatives were introduced as beacons: They would stay in contact with the Initiative and relay any alterations in plans until the mission was deemed a success. And it had to be a success, or disaster would be the only thing left.
1890 A.D.
There was a man, not very well-known as far as famous men go. A writer. His existence alone was not the significant factor in the timeline's disturbance, but his profession and his choice to tell a particular, peculiar story.
This man, the Initiative states, helped sow the seeds for modern time travel centuries before its prime. What was a captivating fiction in that man's time was the reality of today, and without his account of the Time Traveler, there was risk of the very existence of so much. The recruits absolutely have a stake in this.
To the export room — the massive, rather bare and bleak place where so many were to exit and put a stop to what was putting a stop to the writer's tale. It was as yet unclear, but the Initiative is certain they'll know it when they see it, that it will be revealed once their reluctant soldiers set foot on ancient soil.
One last check, one last insistence on the urgency of their task. One, final urging to avoid as direct an impact as possible without ruining their chances; keep your temporal footprint as light as you can.
Good luck. We're counting on you.
A flash, a bitten-back breath, a blink...The room was gone.
But this wasn't right.
Out of the many who were assigned, only eight remained. Eight, and an Initiative's operative, who was immediately aware of a problem. A big problem.
STONEHENGE, 3089 B.C.
They had made it to England, all right, but far too soon. This was an ancient place, so far lost to history the cloaking devices struggled to attribute safe disguises. It was a cloudy place in the timeline, where the things they knew about it were things they were going to know about it: Those nine lost people were to bear witness to things never remembered, but often fantasized, of a monument so wildly famous in the future.
WOODSTOCK, 1969 A.D.
The Initiative's attempts to recalibrate and move its soldiers to the right place in time had another hiccup, and the nine were once again off the mark. An overshoot — nearly a century too far and an ocean away.
Luckily (or unfortunately), their issued technology quickly recovered to suit the time it had ample information on. Beads, tie-dye, hemp, denim...There were mountains of books on this time. This place. This mother of all music events.
From Stonehenge to stoners. It was hardly the smoothest of transitions.

Huh. Well... it looks more interesting than Fuckhenge back there. And it sounds a lot more interesting.... In fact, it almost sounds like.....
And then he starts to get it. ]
Whoa. Is this a music festival? Please oh please tell me it's a music festival.

[She rolls her eyes.] ...Thinks just keep getting better, don't they?
no subject
You two know where this is?
no subject
[With that, Anders wanders away from the main group. Apparently this looks like his kind of crowd. Pounce follows, picking up his paws gingerly as he goes, displeased with the muddy ground.]
no subject
[Lea's just turning in a circle, taking in the atmosphere with a slowly widening grin. This place looks like fun!
Well, except --]
... But come on, seriously, they got it wrong again?!
no subject
Hopefully this place will be a bit more welcoming, at least.
no subject
[She makes a face.] So 'welcoming' might be considered an understatement here.
no subject
They're having orgies? In the mud? What... all of them together?
[He's having a hard time wrapping his head around he concept.]
