I've been through the desert...
One moment she felt her lips on Anya's. It was a dream and nightmare come true, each in their own ways. The Talus sent a jolt up her arm, and suddenly instead of everything she'd gotten so used to, and the feel of her best friend and crush next to her, she felt warm wind, and a bright light made her shield her eyes against a scorching sun.

She knew right where she was. Back in the desert where everything had gone so horribly wrong. Even as alike as most deserts ended up, she somehow just knew.

Sarah sinks into the sand, drawing her knees up to her chest and settling her head on her knees, trying to collect her thoughts, trying hard not to cry, trying to be pulled together when someone else showed up.

The Timebroker can wait.

	At least this time Blink knew to keep her mouth shut when she fell head first into the sand. "Oh no." Blink stood, not even bothering to brush off the sand. "No, no, no. Not again!" She wanted to scream. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Another voice caught Quinn's attention and he pushed back his immediate concerns. "You okay?" he asked the pink girl. "You know what's going on here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Sadly. You've just been taken out of your timeline so you can get shipped around fixing other timelines until you-" Blink bit down on her tongue to keep from saying the word die.

It wasn't his fault the Timebroker had unhinged her from time again. No need to take it out on him.

She sighed. "I'm sorry. I thought I was over with this. You're not going to be able to go back home for a long time."

	"This has happened to you before?" His face fell at the thought of not being able to go home. No. This had to be some sort of trick. Someone was messing with his mind. "This can't be right." He looked around. "Bollocks!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm sorry. I think the Timebroker will be around shortly to explain it but you've been unhinged from time. We have to do whatever we're told, in sometimes not very clear language, to fix timelines. If we don't then our own timeline unravels in a different way. Something terrible will happen to you or someone you love." Or in her case cease to exist. "Supposedly if at some point we've fixed enough timelines one of us can return to our own timeline but I've never seen that happen."

	"I can't be arsed to do this," he said before his shoulders slumped. "I have studies." He sighed heavily. "Who's this Timebroker bloke? He the one doing this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He'll show up once we're all here. I think. Supposedly he's our collective subconscious but..." She found that hard to believe. And she really didn't want to tell this guy everything she knew. Let him keep up some hope for now. "I'm Blink." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Quinn Braddock. A pleasure, despite the circumstances, ma'am." He did have manners despite all the cussing he just did. (Reply to this)(Parent)
