Dimble Woods

[Mimsie-chan]

And so Mimi skipped along on the dirt path, looking over her shoulder every so often to make sure the boys were keeping up as she led them deeper into the woods. Steve had managed to koala himself onto J's leg. and kept his hold through the duration of the trip. Finally, they reached a clearing, where a small, quaint looking house took residence. Mimi squealed in the back of her throat and immediately ran to the doorway and proceeded to bang both her fists against it, as was her usual method of knocking.

J just let Steve hitch-hike on his leg,for he knew there was no use fighting the insane shy guy. Once they were at the door though,he shook his leg roughly. "Get OFFA ME YOU FLIP FLOP!" He said angrily. "So,Mims,you know this guy very well?" He asked,poking Mimi's shoulder.

[Evaleva]

Roy casually kept to the back of the crowd, not caring much to draw any attention to himself by whoever it is they were visiting. He was really just along for the ride~ Seeing as how Mimi seemed pretty excited, he liked being around when she had that stupidly cute giddy look on her face.

[Mimsie-chan]

Mimi ceased her banging momentarily to peer over her shoulder at J. "Oh yea!~ Me an' the Professor go way back. When I was a little-" She almost stopped herself, cringing at her word choice. "I mean....younger." Suddenly, the door creaked open, a small crack, and a voice muttered out. "I don't want any!" Mimi blinked and whirled around, staring into the small crack. "Aw Professor, it's ME!" They went through this cycle every single visit. She would spend a half hour trying to explain who she was and that she was NOT a door-to-door cosmetic saleswoman or a girl scout selling mint cookies. "Off of my porch youngin', I won't be forced into buying peanut brittle!" Mimi sighed and turned, pulling the shyguy up and holding him level to the door crack. "Does this look like somebody who'd be selling peanut whatever's?" The person on the other side seemed to be considering. ".....I don't have my glasses, but from what I can tell it's a CUCUMBER! Hah, I suppose cucumbers wouldn't be selling peanut brittle...." The voice trailed off as a few thumps and pounds could be heard on the other side. Finally the door swung open all the way, revealing a much older gentleman wearing a labcoat and large thick glasses, which he was adjusting to fit properly. "Why, if it isn't little Mi?" Mimi grinned, setting Steve down. "Yes Professor, you are quite small.~" She replied. It was like a small joke between them, a form of greeting ever since she could remember. The Professor peered at the males. "Friends of yours?" Mimi nodded. "Yep!" She twirled around. "This is J-" She pointed at each of them, stating their names. "Ludwig- n' that's Roy.~" She giggled a bit saying his name and then tapped Steve on the top of his head, as he was standing near her. "An' you already know Steve~"

[ToastyBomb]

J was about to say something,to get this old guy to open the door,but why ruin everything? If he did that,he probably wouldn't do what they came here for! He nodded his head at the professor as Mimi said his name.

Ludwig,too nodded when Mimi called his name to the professor. "Nice glasses." He said,noticing they looked a lot like Iggy's. Sure,he didn't actually think they were nice,but this man seemed like one of those who would like to be complemented.

[Evaleva]

Roy casually waved an arm at the old coot as he was introduced, giving off a vaguely sincere smirk to him before returning to his "cool" disposition. He's not the type to draw out greetings, he'd prefer to get on with things- else if they went too slow he'd just beat whoever's in charge to a pulp just to make it go faster.

[Mimsie-chan]

The Professor nodded his head enthusiastically to each visitor and slid his hands into the fronts of his labcoat pockets. After a few moments of quiet, he finally spoke. "So what can an old geezer like me do fer you youngins?" Mimi took a deep breath, starting. "Well ya SEE, Professor, I told 'em about your magical TIME MACHINE and they'd like to see their older selves, would that be alright? c: " Professor rubbed at his chin thoughtfully. "This could have catastrophic consequences beyond the very fabrics of time and space- the risks would be highly volitile and dangerous!" Mimi leaned back on her heels. "...Issat a yes then?" The Professor proceeded to eye them, mulling it over, and then finally. "If you kids really want to upset the balance of nature then OKIE-DOKIE!~" He flashed them a toothy grin and turned on his heel, leaving the door wide open. "Come come, in in, COME IN!" He singsonged, marching away.

[ToastyBomb]

J's eyes widened. "So..we could like..rip the fabric of time and like..kill it if we do this? COOL!" He said,then pulled back,hoping nobody would think he was odd,thinking something that serious was cool. He followed everyone quickly,not wanting to be in the back.

Ludwig followed them all,not having anything to say,not even on J's odd blurt-out.

[Evaleva]

Roy calmly stuck to the back of the crowd as he made his way in with the rest of them. He did find the idea of seeing his future self to be an interesting one. He just hoped slightly that whatever happened, he would have SOME feature to his appearance outside of those angular red shades. It was a little bothersom to him that outside of his sister, EVERYONE else of the family sported hair.

[Mimsie-chan]

Mimi ran inside and twirled about the small living room which contained a small desk cluttered with various papers and instruments. The only area that seemed vaguely neat was by the small television. Newpapers were stacked next to it in an orderly fashion. The professor waved an arm to the group as he made his way towards a metal door- which was the oddest and most out of place looking thing in the room. He entered a few digits onto the keypad next to the door and it slid open, revealing a metal staircase that led to his actual laboratory downstairs. "So, you kids are curious about the future, eh?" The professor mused aloud, grinning. Mimi giggled. "COURSE! I bet we're all super cool as adults. I betcha I know who everyone's gonna turn out to be too- Lemme think. Hm...." As she skipped down the stairs, she told them all her mini-fortunes, her predicition. "Luddy's gonna be a FAMOUS muscian. J's prolly gonna still be hiding out in Bowser's castle. An' Roy- he'll probably be this uber hawt dude who controls like- a gazillion territories. AN' ME! I'll be a hero.~"

[ToastyBomb]

Ludwig smiled smugly. "Vell,I agree viz zat prediction. Zere's no douvt,I zat's vhat I vill ve. Just vatch." He said,looking around the room and then at the staircase.

J narrowed his eyes. "And what makes ya say THAT,Mims?" He asked,a bit dully. "I don't think I'll still be slinking around the castle." He muttered.

[Evaleva]

With a comment like that, Roy couldn't help but go and scruff up Mimi's hair again. "I gotta give it to yous Pinky, yous could be a world class fortunes teller one day.~" He mused. He returned to his casual demeanor though, as he made his way over to a small desk, tinkering about with things. "So doc, how's dis time travlin' boisness gonna work anyways?" He asked, inspecting a few test tubes.

[Mimsie-chan]

Steve climbed onto the Professor's desk with much difficulty. "Oho, I say, Doctor! What sort of plane are we taking to reach our destination. It had better have prepackaged peanuts!" Professor looked on in amusement, grinning. "Doctor? Haha, well I'm hardly one of those!" He turned his attention towards Roy to answer him. "But you'll all be traveling through the fabrics of time with the machine I've built- it's taken me almost my entire lifetime to construct!" He motioned for the rest of them to follow him into the laboratory for further explanation.

[ToastyBomb]

J shrugged and followed behind Roy into the lab. "Ooo...sciency!" He exclaimed,marveling at all the odd gizmos and things in it. He pointed at Mimi's hat. "Didn't you make that hat?" He asked the Professor,poking Mimi's pink hat.

[Mimsie-chan]

Mimi puckered her lips, raising her brows to look up at the pink companion that followed her everywhere she went. "It don't work though.~" The Professor halted in his tracks and whirled aorund, his labcoat swishing in an oddly cool effect. "Confound it Mimi, there is NOTHING wrong with it. My designs are pure BRILLIANCE!" Mimi protested. "But on the way here I almost DIED- well not died but I almost fell outta the ship! How come it doesn't y'know, spring into action an' save me?" Professor sighed and waved a hand at her as if it were the most boring news in the world. "I've told you- the hat isn't designed for predictability. It must've known you weren't in any immediate danger. After all, you have these lovely gentlemen on board to catch you, right?" He laughed and headed towards a large bulky looking machine at the end of his room, and in one fluent motion, pulled the tarp hanging over it off. "Take a look at this-"
