EVERYONE HATES TIME TRAVEL PART ONE
Who: Anybody stepping out of the TIME HOLE into present-day LA, anybody who wants to witness this going down – or to intervene
Where: Downtown LA
When: August 2nd (now!)
What: A bunch of time travellers arrive in the present to try to fix their dystopian future. See here for more details!
Warnings: time travel. everyone hates time travel.
It's late at night when the portal opens, an undulating patch of wrongness hanging in the warm summer air just a few inches above the street, bordered by shimmering multicoloured light.
A car swerves to avoid it. There's a scream or two, and people start to clear the area, eager to put some distance between themselves and the potential scene of some kind of Incident – others stay put, cell phone cameras at the ready.
If anything, though, when people start to step out of the portal, the onlookers calm down a little – this is, at least, not going to be another dinosaur incident. Cameras flash anyway. Another person screams, presumably because they're just on a roll with screaming at this point.
More than one person has called the Alpha Force hotline by now – but they might well not be the first heroes to arrive on the scene...
______________________
Everyone is cordially encouraged to make multiple threads here for either time-travellers, present-day people, or both. Feel free to NPC passersby etc. as well!
Remember that villains from the future who are following the good guys through are probably going to come through at a slight delay.

He'd originally dismissed the flickering red and blue light emanating from down one of the side streets as a police car, but with the increased shouting coming from that direction he decided it would probably be worth checking out. Rounding the corner, it was easy to see what the disturbance was, and it was pretty recognizable.
"Sollux?! What're you doing here? Haven't seen you in ages, dude." He asked, running over to where the alternian was hovering.

"More than you think," he growls.

Longclaw had given him a really quick summary of things, but Metabee wasn't sure what to make of his claim that Sollux being some sort of terrorist. Afterall, last time he'd seen the guy he'd been too skittish to leave the building most of the time, let alone lead a group of anarchists.
"So, uh. What're ya doing here?"

"and, uh, what are those things. Exactly?"

"There are some people who need to die, and I'm going to make sure they do."
no subject
"Look, man, why don't you chill out for a bit and we can discuss this. Just you and your buddy Metabee."
