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.

"Uh huh. Isn't that like breaking Time Travel Rules? Rule Number One: Don't mess with the past. I mean, wasn't that some big hullabaloo about Katniss being here in the first place? Wait. Is she coming back to the present? Again? Or did she already go back to the future before you're coming back to the past? Wait-"

He stopped in the middle of his interrogation, thinking through what he'd just said to make sure he had all his time travel facts straight. This was going to get really complicated really fast, he could tell.
pullingamiko: (yeah that's right)

Initially Miko's attention was just drawn by Longclaw apparently talking to someone outside their group, since she didn't have much else to do at the moment - and then she recognized Metabee and her face lit up.

With apparently little to no regard for whatever conversation might have been going on previously, she walked straight over to them, placing her hands on her hips. The distinctive pink streaks in her hair had grown out and never been replaced long ago, and her scars weren't just passively visible so much as displayed, the torn-off sleeves of her jacket leaving the marks up her left arm and the distinctly robotic nature of her right clearly noticeable. She tilted her head slightly to look him over with her remaining eye, grinning widely.

"Metabee, dude! Almost didn't recognize you, you're so tiny-- actually, hold on." Without waiting for a response, she crouched down, grabbed him, and lifted him up with a laugh. "Oh my God, are you kidding me."

"WHOA!! WOAH! YO!"

Recognizing Jon was one thing, but considering he'd only met Miko twice, one time being the incident with the towers, he was pretty sure he didn't know this person. And he really didn't appreciate random strangers picking him up off the ground. Who even does that?

He starts pushing against her arms, legs flailing as he tries to pry himself free of her grip, though the robot arm was giving him some trouble.
"PUT ME DOWN! Who the heck do you think you are?"
pullingamiko: (ha)

She just laughed again, but put him down after a moment, smirking and waving off his complaint dismissively. "Calm down, man, it's Miko - I know we've met by now. Not sure how well you know me, though. Or... past me, I guess." She shrugged. Time travel!
metabee: (100)

As soon as his feet touched the ground Metabee scooted a few steps back so he was safely out of impromptu grabbing distance, squinting up at Miko critically.

"Are you that girl who was fired from the newspaper cause of that music fiasco?"
pullingamiko: (how about no)

The smirk became something like a grimace. Wow, she hadn't really thought about that in years, given the situation, but wow. Way to bring that up. "Okay, no, because I wasn't fired. I quit. There's a big difference."

(It was both.)
