"Onward!" Raven pecked her cheek and took her to the Nexus before going through the old ritual of walking through the old portal.
(Can't wait on Ridley to unban.) The next day, Skydust opened the bar by himself, Maya nowhere to be seen. After using his magic to polish everything up, and letting Azrael in, he opened the doors to the public, grabbed a stool to stand on, and took his place at the bar.
That same day, Blackened walked into the bar, taking a seat next to Az. "Morning Az," he said, remembering the events of the prior night.
Azrael let out a barely audible murr from his post insise by the door. "Hello, Blackened." Dusty nodded to him. "Good morning."
"Hey guys." He looked around, noticing Maya's unusual absence. "Is Maya in today? She's normally right here at this time."
"She wants some time away for the foal," Dusty explained. "We're deciding on somepony to watch him so she can run the bar with me part time, until we feel comfortable bringing him here." Azrael asked, "Anypony in mind?" "We are leaning towards Asmodeus," Dusty answered.
Azrael rolled his eyes. "Dustflank, I must object..." "Moondust likes him," Dusty replied simply. "It will be fine."
"Ow," Nightshade said as she and Raven tumbled out of the sky and into the dirt of the chaos planet. "I... uh... I think something went wrong." Something had, in fact, gone wrong. The trip between realms, which should have been instantaneous, had taken hours. It was now morning, and this part of the RP was now caught up to current timeline.
Edmond: (Looking around dazed and confused next to the now glowing symbol for amalgam, his miniature forge and the bar, as the timelines realign, and it immediately turns to the morning.) Huh?, weird.....
Blackout groaned as he realized what had happened. "Crap. I hate time skips. Cricket's gonna kill me for not coming home last night."
"Lemmy. Coming right up." Dusty floated the ingredients over to a glass and poured them in before sending the glass his way. Raven groaned. "Why is it day..?"
(Blackout is married to Cricket, who is also called Heart Song. His father is Blackheart.) Nightshade shrugged. "Some kind of problem with the jump. It happens."
