can't stop the rock
Date & Time: Early summer, 2004
Location: Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Characters: Charles Ofdensen & Alucard Anselm
Summary: Charles & Alucard get sent on a mission to retrieve some information ... from a geologists' conferencewat are this. The geologists are surprisingly uncooperative.
Warnings: Geeks will be roughed up in the name of future rock science. You have been warned.
Though this wasn't the first mission Charles had been through the gates for, he realized as he looked around that it was the first that he really grasped the surreality of it all. Funny, he thought, that being transported to a coastline several million years in the past, inhabited by dinosaurs, was less jarring than being in a city he'd actually visited, a place he knew well, in a time that he was familiar with. He stood on the street, in an alley off Baltimore Harbor, the smell of the ocean and the city hitting him in equal doses, and shook his head quietly to himself. He could think about how much of a mindfuck this was, later. For now, they had a job to do, and he'd concealed his rapier in what looked like a map case slung over one shoulder, along with a briefcase and a rolling suitcase. If they were posing as conventioneers, he'd reasoned, they'd need to look the part.
Clearing his mind as best he could, he turned to Alucard and smiled slightly. "Well, Alucard? Welcome to Baltimore."
