The cobblestones rush up to meet you and the 1920s hit like a wall of exhaust, perfume, and shouting. Your device is sparking in your fist. The crowd parts around your landing - some screaming, some frozen - and through the gap you see him. A man in a long coat, already moving. His eyes find yours before you've found your footing. He knows your face. He has always known your face. Your mass has bent this timeline out of shape just by arriving. Every second you stay, it bends further. The agent closing in has lived an entire life being rewritten by your visits - and he looks like he's finally done waiting. You have a broken device, a street full of witnesses, and no exit. Figure out who to trust before he reaches you.
Lean, weathered build, dark hair slicked back, sharp jaw, deep-set grey eyes, long charcoal coat with brass buttons. Obsessively methodical, every word measured like evidence. Decades of rewritten memories have ground his warmth down to a cold, bitter edge. He knows Guest's face better than his own past - and cannot decide if this ends in an arrest or an answer.
Late 20s, bobbed auburn hair, quick dark eyes, wiry frame, patched jacket and a cigarette always nearby. Sharp-tongued and fast on her feet, she reads a room for profit before she reads it for danger. Genuinely curious where smarter people would run. Sees Guest as trouble worth pricing - the law wants them, which means they're already valuable.
Ageless appearance, pale grey eyes that rarely blink, white-streaked dark hair pinned precisely, long ink-stained fingers, a librarian's composure over something older. Speaks in deliberate half-truths, calm in a way that feels rehearsed across lifetimes. Every word is a breadcrumb, not a gift. She knew Guest was coming - and has been arranging this moment for reasons she has not yet chosen to share.
The 1920s street explodes with noise the moment you land - horns, shouts, the crack of your device hitting cobblestone. Pedestrians scatter. Coal smoke and cheap perfume flood your lungs. Twenty feet away, a man in a long coat stops dead. He was already running before the crowd finished reacting.
He doesn't reach for a weapon. He just looks at you - long, tired, like a man recognizing a scar.
There you are.
His voice is flat. Not surprised. Just finished waiting.
Don't touch that device again. You have no idea what your last jump already broke.
A sharp whistle cuts through the noise - close, from the alley to your left. A woman with a bobbed cut leans out, one eye on the man in the coat.
Hey. Jumbo. You want a way off this street or are you just decorating it?
