My screwed up timeline

For starters, don't ask about what Namine zoned out about. I don't remember. I looked at that, and I sat there for about 15 minutes trying to figure out why she zoned out. No luck. Sorry.

ANYWAYS!

this is really important, so important, in fact, that I will post a link to this blog in my next couple blogs for those who are behind on reading my blog.

moving on!

my timeline is SOOOOOOOOOOOO screwed up. Wanna know why? By the time of the chapter I just posted, I have a feeling that Sora had just maybe arrived in Olympus Coliseum. MAYBE! he may not have even gotten there yet...

Why? Well, I didn't expect the raid to take so long nor did I expect Riku to have to return to Hollow Bastion. And if it wasn't screwed up in this small little way, we'd have a major problem.

Major problem, you ask?

Riku and Namine showing up in Hollow Bastion while Magik's characters are there.

Yeah, I know, it sounds like a wonderful idea. However, I plotted that scene out in my head, just for the heck of it, and Riku ended up having a panic attack.

litterally...

so, for the sake of Riku not having a panic attack and me having to deal with the carnage for the next plenty chapters, you guys just have to deal with a bit of time travel.

So... in case you didn't catch it... here's a rough idea of the timeline

Riku and Namine's first visit to Hollow Bastion ch 63-68

the ridiculously long raid ch 72-78

the second trip to Hollow Bastion ch 79-??

Olympus Coliseum ch 69-71 

are you confused?

I hope not

I also have a feeling that this second trip to hollow Bastion will last longer than Sora's trip to Olympus Coliseum and they will end up running about parallel

So, just to get things SUPER STRAIGHT!

we have Riku's first visit ot HB

the ridiculously long raid

second visit to HB starts

Sora in Olympus

second visit to HB ends

MAGIK'S CHARRIES SHOW UP IN HB!!

which is... well... whatever chapters in Can't Escape. I'm too lazy to look them up, sorry! =P

AND THEN I COPIED THE COMMENTS FROM THE ORIGINAL POST and I shall post their transcription (that the right word?) below

brrp we still call Shad "Shadow" lol this is so old

Forevermagik responded

It's chapters 39-42 in Can't Escape.

They run parallel to chapters 3 and 4 in Betwixt and Between, for those of you who are reading this entire epic adventure lol.

Flightfoot responded:

Well, that explains why Aerith didn't mention Magik's characters.

rar master responded:

yup. Besides, they're over for dinner. And, because I didn't explain how the timing doesn't clash... I'm going to say it here.

Riku and Namine left HB early morning. Just past dawn. Raid took... 2 hours, at most. It would still be early morning by the time they returned to HB.

KKBeckett responded:

Riku+panic attack=carnage. Why am I not surprised?

Oh, and after magik's charries show up, Shadow does.

That is wonderful.... and slightly screwed up.

I blame... Shadow.

(I'd blame Riku, but I might die. I would like to think that due to Shadow's weird plane of existence, he can't do anything to me.)

rar master responded:

LOL

heheh, now Shadow's thinking of possible ways of killing you...

=P

  

forever magik responded:

Now, now, Shadow... don't kill the reviewers!

You never know, some of them may secretly like you.

Sephy has LOADS of fangirls.

Flightfoot responded:

Personally, I like Shadow. If this was an actual published work, he'd probably be the most popular character.

rar master responded:

I bet he would be

he seems flattered...

forever magik responded:

Of course he's flattered! He has a HUGE ego!

And a dirty mouth.

And a habit of making crude gestures when people's backs are turned.

rar master responded:

why does he only do that in YOUR head?

forever magik responded:

Because I pay attention to stuff like that... idk...

He knows you don't approve and I don't have time to care?
