Universal Year 3229
"So you want to sneak into your own family's estate?" Celeste asked as she turned to Rowena before adding with a smile, "I have heard your stories about how you snuck out as a child, but I think this is a first for your sneaking in as an adult."
"It's certainly a novel experience," Rowena replied with a smile.
"So how do we sneak in? Is there like a secret passage or something?" Adam asked.
[Justiceistruth (Earth): There has to be a secret passage.]
[RealOtaku (Earth): There's always a secret passage.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): My money's on secret passage.]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): With an estate that large, they must have several secret passages to escape with their credits.]
[Sparesomechangebro (Earth): You think they could spare me some change if they're that rich?]
"What makes you think there are secret passages?" Rowena asked curiously.
"Oh, please," Adam replied while rolling his eyes before explaining, "Rich people always have secret passages to escape in times of trouble. And judging by the size of your family estate, your Nosferatu family is super rich."
"He has a point," Celeste stated with a smile.
"Fine, yes, we have several secret passages; however, I was trying NOT to show them on your stream," Rowena replied.
"She has a point," Celeste commented again.
"Right, good point, my bad. Sorry, it's my first secret passage. If you want, I can make it so the stream doesn't show the secret passages," Adam stated.
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Aww, come on. First, the audio mute and now he plans to stop us from seeing what's going on as well?]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): You're gonna start losing viewers if you keep this up, streamer. Kekeke.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): Oh, really? Type 1 in chat if you would stop watching the stream because he doesn't show you the secret passage?]
No one in chat typed anything for a few seconds.
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): That's what I figured.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): He could at least let us from Earth watch. I mean, what are we gonna do with that knowledge?]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): That could still be dangerous, as you could spill to the rest of us what you saw.]
[Healthylifebysniffingdrugs (Deverinian 7): Like all the drugs, they're keeping hidden in the passages. 🤪]
[Superhearofangirl (Earth): Ah fuck, I forgot about this guy.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): So did I. I wonder if he was just lurking or what?]
[HackerSu (Trillion): He's probably been off his head on drugs and only just recovered enough to start watching.]
[Healthylifebysniffingdrugs (Deverinian 7): You know it. 🤪]
"Hmm," Rowena replied as she thought for a few seconds before shaking her head and saying, "It's fine. We will just use one of the secret passages that's not very important."
[CEOHopkins (Earth): How is there a secret passage that's not very important?]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Hey, hey, don't ruin this for us.]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Yeah. Don't mess this up, Miss Hopkins.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Idiot 3horns. The streamer can't see what we write, remember.]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Ohhhh, you're right.]
[LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): Maybe it's a dummy passage to confuse would-be intruders.]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Aren't those sorts of secret passages usually filled with traps?]
[RealOtaku (Earth): Ohhh. Maybe it's like Uncharted 4, where you have to go down that secret passageway at the end and it's full of exploding corpses.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Oh, I fucking hate that bit of the game. Trying to get through there on the hardest difficulty was a pain in the ass.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Those corpses came from the pirate captain's old crew, right? Where would the Nosferatu family get so many corpses?]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Maybe it's the dead familiars of the family who were not worthy to be turned.]
[All the non-Earthlings in chat: …]
[HackerSu (Trillion): That's kind of fucked up, you know.]
"Are you sure? It's not exactly going to be a secret anymore if I show it," Adam replied.
"It's fine, this particular secret passageway gets discovered in the future by members of the Noir Family when they come and try to steal something, so it's not a secret in the future," Rowena replied with a shrug before walking off in a direction while adding, "Follow me."
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): So no spoilers? Oh maaannn.]
Adam and Celeste followed Rowena as she walked along the side of the road for a few minutes until they arrived at a park that was full of many people enjoying the festival's stalls and performances that were taking place there.
"It's kind of a shame we can't enjoy the festival, it reminds me of some of those from back on Earth," Adam remarked as he looked around.
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Except that it's full of alien races, strange, unknown food and performances we don't understand. Kekeke.]
"We can always come enjoy it when we get back to our own time. I'm sure the others would love to partake, especially Tephe," Rowena replied.
[Thewhitesoverign (Felinia 7): Yeah. Let's go to the festival in the future. 📣]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Goddaghter? Have you finally awakened? How are you?]
[Beczontop (Imperial Down): Revi. How are you doing, girl?]
[Tessisdabest (Imperial Down): Thank god she has woken up.]
[Thewhitesoverign (Felinia 7): I'm fine, everyone, thank you. Revi, stop calling me goddaughter. 😡]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): She seems fine if she wants to go to a festival and is complaining about Empress Revi calling her goddaughter.]
[OracleRomy (Elysium): I'm relieved to hear you're ok. Once the stream finishes, I need to speak with you.]
[Thewhitesoverign (Felinia 7): I will be happy to speak to you after the stream, Oracle Andromeda.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Oracle Andromeda wants to speak with White Dragon Tephe directly? That normally only means one thing. 😯]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Could it be another prophecy?]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): Can someone have more than one prophecy?]
[LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): There is no rule saying they can't, it's just highly unlikely and very unlikely to happen since most people go their whole lives without receiving a prophecy, me for example.]
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): I guess white dragons are statistically more likely to receive more than one prophecy since they are guaranteed to receive one when they are born.]
[OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): That's true. Also, everyone knows that the prophecy White Dragon Tephe received when she was born was inconsequential.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Another prophecy? Is this true, Oracle Andromeda?]
[OracleRomy (Elysium): I'm afraid I'm not willing to answer that.]
[OfficialLorelie (Felinia 7): Going to the festival of blood in the future sounds fun.]
[OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): For sure. I have never had the chance to go.]
"Be sure to let me know when you come to Darah Five in the future so that I can accompany you," Celeste said with a smile.
"Of course," Rowena replied before saying, "this way," As she entered the park and started walking by the stalls, looking at the objects on sale.
"Are we able to take things back to the future with us?" Rowena asked as she looked at some snacks that were being offered at a food stall.
"I'm honestly not sure," Adam replied before asking, "Spector?"
[[Affirmative. Items taken from the past can be brought to the future.]]
"Oh, I heard Spector," Rowena said in surprise.
[[The earing you're using also functions as a communicator.]]
"How convenient," Rowena said with a smile.
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): That earring is OP.]
[OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): I want one.]
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): I want one+1.]
[All the women in the chat and several of the men: I want one+#.]
"I thought you said before that time travel into the future was impossible?" Adam asked.
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): When did the streamers' AI say that?]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): No idea.]
[Sparesomechangebro (Earth): NOOOOOOOO. I wanted to use time travel to check the lottery results.]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Sucks to be you. Kekeke.]
[Thewhitesoverign (Felinia 7): Spector explained it during our first time travel, when we went back to the Siege of Fenix Nest.]
[[It is impossible for me to use the experimental drive to travel forward in time since it hasn't happened yet and I have no time coordinates that I can lock onto. However, because I am from the future and can return there once I figure out why the dark matter and scorpo blood reacted in the way they did and can return us to our own time, we can take items there with us.]]
"Isn't that cheating?" Rowena asked.
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): That's totally cheating.]
[Sparesomechangebro (Earth): Ok, so I get myself a time machine. Go back in time and buy something I know will sell for a lot in the future and bring it back with me before selling it for $$$.]
"Will that work with living beings as well as items?" Adam asked.
[[Unknown. Testing had not reached that stage before the accident happened.]]
"Accident? What accident?" Rowena asked with interest.
[HackerSu (Trillion): Maybe the accident that forced the ship's crew to abandon ship, as Lord Malacoss theorised?]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): So there was an accident. We are slowly starting to uncover the mystery of the streamers' ship.]
[[Classified information. You lack the required clearance to know such information.]]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Damn.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Aww man and here I thought we would find out more info.]
"Well, shit," Rowena replied before looking at Adam expectantly.
"Don't look at me, I don't know either," Adam replied with a shrug.
"Hmmmm," Rowena replied while narrowing her eyes as she looked at Adam with suspicion before turning back to the stall of snacks while saying, "Well, whatever. I want to take some of these back for Stacey. She used to love them as a child."
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): …]
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Is Diva Rowena the first grandmother in history to travel back in time to get her granddaughter her favourite snack?]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): That is a distinct possibility.]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): The Dwarfinian science directorate obviously didn't take into account the power of grandmothers when they claimed that time travel was impossible. Kekeke.]
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): …]
