Wilbur walked into the castle, having just toured the gardens. The Robinson garden sculptures were much better, in his opinion... but not bad considering the primitive nature of the time period.
He smirked, looking up at the huge windows.
"Not bad, Walt. Not bad..."

Violet walks down the main stairs and into the entry way. She has on a blue shirt with her hair pulled back by a headband. She marvels at the marble floor then looks up to see a boy standing there and wonders if it is to late to turn invisible.

He heard footsteps and turned, blinking when he saw her standing there. But he didnt skip a beat. "Uh, Hi there." He waved.

Too late...
"Hi."
She walked down the steps and stopped a few feet away from him.
"I'm Violet."

He gave a characteristically confident smirk. "Wilbur." *pause* "You dont.... live here, do you?" He gestured around, looking her over.

She shakes her head.
"No, just...looking around. The library here is amazing."
She motions back up the stairs.

He glanced up the stairs.
"Huh. Not really a book-kinda-guy myself."
No, he fancied himself an action hero/kung-fu warrior...
Looking back at her, he gestured behind him.
"You see the garden yet?"

Post by violet on Jul 13, 2008 17:35:55 GMT -8
She looks past him and then back at him.
"I haven't looked closely. Just glanced at it when I came in. I was planning on looking on the way out."

"Its uh... pretty cool. You should check it out."
He stuck his hands in his pockets, rocking absently on his heels.
Way to go, Wilbur. Talking with someone from the past is probably not a good idea.... Oh well.
"Violet, right?" He smiled. "I was wondering, do you know what day it is today?"

"I think it is April 15th. Which would be why the gardens are amazing."
She pushes some hair behind her ear.

"Oh yeah." He snapped his fingers. "... and the year...?" He trailled off.

"Um...2008..."
She tries to hide her curiosity, but fails.

*stubbornly plays it cool*
"2008. Riiight..."
He rubbed his chin, doing the math in his head.

"Yeah..."
She looks around and then back at him. She had no right to ask why he didn't even know what year it was.

Wilbur looked up. He was so *dead*...
"Wilbur-- Hey! Look at this!"
He gave a start. "Oh man... Carl!"
A tall, skinny robot walked in from the garden with a sprinkler head in his hands. "Look how primitivie these natives are, I havent seen one of these in--"
His eyes focused on Violet and he screamed, pointing at her.

Violets eyes go wide when the robot came in. When the robot starts screaming she suddenly disappears.

"Carl! Calm down, will ya?" He waved his hands and turned back to Violet. "Sorry, he's a little challenged---"
*blink*
"Hey, where'd she go?"

Post by violet on Jul 14, 2008 6:12:37 GMT -8
She moves to his blind spot and returns to visibility.
"I'm right here... "
She looks from him to the robot.
"Carl huh..."

He gave a start. "Woah-- How'd you..."
"Sorry if I scared ya there, little lady." He gave an embarrassed smile and lowered his voice. "I wasnt supposed to be seen." >.>
He looked up at his best friend and rolled his eyes. "I told you not to leave the time machine, Carl! Now you've really done it!" ><

"Its ok..."
She looks back at Wilbur.
"Time machine...?

O.O O.O
"Uh..." *presses his hand to his forehead* "Now you did it!!"

Post by violet on Jul 14, 2008 6:42:00 GMT -8
"It makes sense now..."
She was used to weird things happening. She had seen some crazy inventions. Why not a time machine?

"Errr-- Listen Violet." He held up his hands and then fell on his knees before her-- dramatic as ever-- in a begging posture.
"Please *please* dont tell anyone."

She looked down at him.
"Um yeah...no problem..."

Carl's neck stretched out and he whispered loudly in Wilbur's ear. "Very Smooth, Captain Future." -_-
>< "Carl." He pushed his face away and stood. "Okay, so its true. We're from the future. And..." He trailled off, pointing at her. "You dont seem that shocked about it. Which means you either dont believe me or you know something I dont."
"She probably thinks you're crazy." He nudged Wilbur aside and offered her his hand. "Hello. I'm Carl." ^^

"Well, I..uh..."
She searched her mind for what to say.
"I guess you could say I'm used to things like that...like inventions and...um...things.."

He raised his eyebrows.
"Really? Then maybe you can help me!"

"Help? Help with what?"
Was this boy in some kind of trouble?

"Wellll...." He cringed. "We sorta... took the time machine on a joy ride and..." "Crashed it into the garden!" Carl thumbed back behind them.

"You must have crashed after I came in then..."
She looked past him at the door.
"Is it just sitting out there."
