There's no way this could've...

The chances of this happening are incredibly low--[low, quiet chuckle] Statistics and probability have stopped being accurate a long time ago.

[rapid footsteps, like running]

It's hard to believe they're all here...mother, father, Juliet...Butler.

[muttering]

Holly?! And--Commander Root?! This is...this is--!

Of course, sir, I just wasn't expecting to see you here. Holly, it's good to see you've returned.

I...I see. Yes, of course.

((OOC: self-explanatory. He sees his family, Juliet, Butler, Holly, and Root (who has been resurrected for his little hallucination). Opal has been imprisoned. Any responses will be treated as a response from one of the above listed people.))

Tomatoes.

Well, this is an unexpected turn of events.

I would normally grab hold of one of these tomatoes, try to understand what makes it sentient, but...perhaps later. In the meantime, I should grab hold of a weapon against them. I may be in my room now, but the tomatoes might invade.

It's hard to believe I said that seriously.

[Private // unhackable]

To think she's gone...

There have always been people at my side. Holly, Foaly, Mulch, Root, Butler...now how many are at my side here, in Econtra? None, with the exception of my alternate self, whom I will never see again once I return home to my own proper world.

Captain Holly Short...while we may have been from different times, she was still the same loyal, determined Recon officer.

Perhaps I should have told her to cherish what time she had left with Root.

[/Private]

I have been quite lazy about those calculations as of late. I'll have to get back to work on those...

((OOC: Uhhhh. Backdated to a bit sooner?))

This...this is...!

[a quick, almost silent intake of breath before a light chuckle--his voice sounds much older, much more mature, than what it normally is.]

I knew it. It was only a matter of time before something else happened.

See, Holly? What did I tell you. It's been about two weeks since the previous bout of insanity, and already we're being thrown into something else.

Hmm. Not much to do about this particular condition. [sigh] In any case, I'm sure I'm not the only one affected.

((OOC: Have a 30-year-old Artemis. No I don't know what I was thinking. No icon for you, you have to stick with the default.))

The entire compound made a ruckus over Mother's Day a few months ago; I suppose it's only fitting that they do the same for Father's Day.

[Private // unhackable]
Speaking of whom, I still haven't heard a single thing about my father's wellbeing since I left for Hybras. Most likely, he is still dancing with his prosthetic leg or whatever it is he likes to do nowadays.

I...actually hope he still is. I never liked his cheerful nature since he returned from the Arctic, but it's certainly an improvement from his position before.

Hmm, I wonder.
[/Private]

Foaly, are you still here? May I have a word with you?

....

I will be staying in my room.

No one is allowed to enter Vri-Deka.

((OOC: MOST. APPROPRIATE. ICON. EVER.))

Amusing how two months ago we were nothing more than a group of startled and bewildered animals who just barely survived an enemy attack. Now, we've already adapted to this new area and have entirely recovered from the attack.

Strange, when one considers other disastrous events. By my time, it has been several years since the Indian Ocean tsunami has struck and people are still dealing with the repercussions. Yet, we have managed to get back on our feet from the same level of damage, if not worse, in little more than two months.

Strange how these things work, isn't it?

I really must get back to understanding how exactly Econtra works. I've dawdled long enough.

It is Mother's Day, I see.

....

[private // unhackable]
If only I could still be home for this day. I haven't even seen her since this demon escapade started. For all I know, she could be dead at this moment, even after her sanity has been restored.

...no, of course not. We did save Hybras, if anything it's suspended in the time tunnel now. Of course Mother is alive. Even from a completely different universe, I wish her all the best.
[/private]

((OOC: Er. Uhhhhhhh. L-let's pretend I didn't do this on the American Mother's Day and did it on the Irish/British Mother's Day instead? That would mean between March and April. DX))

What an...interesting twist. During all those weeks that I spent tracking the newcomers and incorporating them into my calculations, I never considered that an alternate of myself could show up. I'd only been hoping for Butler or Holly.

Skuld, I'll be checking your calculations soon. This time next week the entire thing should be corrected. Please make sure no one rubs them out or that rainfall does not ruin it.

[Screened to Holly // unhackable]
Captain Holly Short. I know we've discussed this earlier, but I'd like to know in more detail--what exactly happened right before you arrived here?
[/Screened to Holly]

Well, that didn't go as planned.

((OOC: Artemis is nowhere near as calm as it looks. XD Oh the beauty of typing things. In any case, he got zapped by lightning while roaming the compound looking for the Consulo/Indigeo. Bleeding and has a torn suit and whatnot, but his magic is trying to heal it ASAP. For evacuation, he's taking all the paperwork he's used thus far on calculations and what little he brought with him to Econtra in the first place.))

It's a good thing I've been staying inside thus far. It's a shame I can't do this from inside the barracks.

((OOC: He'll be wandering around carefully looking for the Consulo so he can hack it. XD))

EDIT: The communicators must be broken again. I wonder, what caused it this time?

((OOC: Played around with entering messages in code until he got in through that ended up translating into English. 8D))

( cut for huge images and MATH )

I think I'll take a quick break and go back to work on the Secret of Econtra.

((OOC: Those math notes? Yeah, randomly pulled crap off Wikipedia (although 332 is the actual character count). If anyone DOES try to hack, they'll get a simple equation: "e = MC^2". And this IS where Artemis has been hiding all month.))

...well.

This is a very interesting turn of events.

((OOC: Artemis has been genderbent and turned into the goddess that he's named after. I love puns. Icon to come later and whatnot.))

[Screened to Belldandy // unhackable]
Belldandy,

I've been told you know the dimensional readings for each person in Econtra? If so, I would like a list of the dimensional readings for everyone. If possible, include Fei Wong Reed and Yuuko Ichihara.

Thank you,
Artemis Fowl
[/Screened]

Any and all people who can read this, please respond with the date you arrived here. Please be as exact as possible.

Now that I don't have a headache...

I need to have all information known about Econtra listed here, about the selection process of its residents, how often they arrive, and where we are. It is crucial that I know all information that is available or known.

And, of course, the Warden is free to reply as well.

Painkillers don't seem to help. I'll have to go and find the solution myself, then.

[Private // unhackable]
One of my eyes...is hazel. From that circle, only Holly had hazel eyes. If things switch in the time tunnel, does this mean she has a blue eye? Maybe that would explain the pain. Elves do have smaller eyes, after all.

Interesting.
[/Private]

It seems the computer is running again. I have a few requests to make.

[Private // Unhackable]
Hmm, this is strange. I had my own time period kept in mind, and I knew that Holly was planning to land it in a specific site off the coast of Ireland. This most definitely is not Ireland, and is most definitely not my own time period, judging by the cuff on my wrist. Not to mention, Qwan, No 1, Abbot, and Holly are nowhere to be found. Does that mean I somehow broke the circle on the way? We may be scattered across various dimensions and times now, then. Some of us may even be in space—I suppose I was lucky.

But that still leaves the question of this handcuff—if I had arrived here accidentally, how have they managed to put this on me?

I promised Butler to be back home. But without the others, I am unable to move through time.
[/Private]

If anyone here has medicine, it would be greatly appreciated. I have a very severe headache.

Amusement. |D
