{The stillness begins to move, the ripple once again present} . . . [ The dark spot appears once again on the ground. Somewhere new, somewhere strange Jason and Layla are thrown out of the dark spot, the hole quickly closing behind them. The two hit the ground hard]

[Jason lets out a yawn as he sits alone against a tree] [He looks up to the sky above, observing the slow movement of the clouds. He begins mumbling to himself, thinking of a passage in book from a couple months prior] *When time falls still, a ripple will follow soon after*

[Jason mindlessly scribbles in the pages of his journal in frustration, sitting atop a fall tree] [Eventually he chucks the pen and lowers his head into his palms, taking a deep breathe while mumbling to himself] get it together....

Had a strange nightmare, only thing I remember was this..figure. It was vaguely familiar. Best sketch I could jot down. Only could see it in a mirror.

[Jason planned to head towards an empty house, but decided last minute to continue his walk instead. He walked along the tree line until he spotted a pond just beyond the woods. Stepping towards the edge of the water, he sits down, trying to relax]

[Jason had been shut in his room, too lost in writing and thought He's heard the noise and commotion within the halls, but his mind refuses to pay any mind to them]

Wh- I uh, don't understand how you found this-

Whoops, guess I was out for a while

Ooc// Already been missing for over a week but I’ll be off bluesky until the semester is over Promise I didn’t abondon my son 😭

Uhh- Can’t keep track of how many people I come across nowadays-

Ooc// Sorry for the lack of responses today, I’m very drained because of scare on campus so I’m giving myself time to catch up with work

[Jason sits under a tree, scribbling notes within a separate journal. He sighs. His friend’s words rung in his ear, a conversation that he never wanted to put himself in. An accident he thought was in the past. Words aren’t his strong suit, but maybe, writing them down wouldn’t hurt.]

Uhh? (*She reminds me so much of someone but..idk*)

[Jason arrives to Descole’s home late into the evening. As he approaches the front door, he notices how quiet it is. A sense of unease washes over him. He looks over to one side of the home. The windows are boarded up and no lights seem to be on.] What the…

[Jason can’t remember the past couple days, only small bits and pieces as he stumbles back into the city of Monte d’Or He remembers a familiar feline asking him something, but he had already stepped outside the room, telling the cat not to follow. Something had happened to him, that’s for sure]

Ooc]] Sorry y’all, not gonna be online here for a couple days

[After half an hour at the Ledore's, Jason makes his way back to his temporary room. Inviting Desmond whenever he feels like dropping by. Hours pass as the man finally rests, allowing his body to recover a significant amount from all the physical stress.}

I'm glad no adult Randall here remembers the encounter back in the Inn.

[Jason makes his way back up the hill and to the door before strength dissipates. He stumbles his way through the entrance, pressing his palm against a nearby wall. He used all of his energy to get Desmond into the car. He knew he needed to at least sit down and rest]

Monte d’Or is very interesting at night. Even the night life quiets down after a while. It’s nice. Less people, more time to look around.

Part of me still wishes to be a professor. But I’m not sure if I’m cut out for it.

[Scribbles down the interaction in his journal] So many Randalls..hmm.

I did not mean to stay out that long, now my clothes are soaking wet. Damn the rain-

Ooc]] Funny enough I was wondering if anyone made an aurora account yesterday LMAO

Ah, um…Hello sir-

Today has been..eventful. I need sleep, but we'll see if I can tonight.

Hm, they weren't kidding about the multiverse thing--

Um, hello. I didn't expect to attract an audience.

Apparently there are multiple Randalls running about. What have I stepped into--

Does this thing work?
