[OOC This One-On-One is for @Gands ... ]
The year is 2018... again. Having survived WW3 and a handful of subsequent "lesser" wars by "cleverly" sleeping through them all trapped in a Woodbine's stomach somewhere in Arcadia for 300 years; you finally escaped the Woodbine and returned to Dark Wysteria only to find that it was now the year 2313 and everything had changed. Dramatically. Unbearably. The adjustment was hard. Nay. It was impossible for you -- and for the others as well.
Luckily, your stay in the apocalyptic 24th century was brief. Lady Mariam Wyst performed the Great Revoking of all Fae contracts that bound Dark Wysteria to a myriad of protocols, policies, and stances with the Four Courts as well as the Far Courts in the mortal realm. Your association with Dark Wysteria was part of that cluster-fuck of Contracts, Pledges, and Agreements and suddenly you (and the others) were pulled violently back in time to pre-contract status. The rescinding Fae power worked its magic to restore you all, fighting long and hard against millions of paradoxes and eventually plunked everyone down in the year 2018.
However, you are not home free yet. In fact, you aren't home at all. This timeline is NOT the original timeline. The Fae Contracts went back hundreds upon hundreds of years in the past and when they were revoked, the entire timeline changed. New Wysteria has changed. Dark Wysteria has changed. Lady Rutharian Wyst (the original Wyst when you first came to Dark Wysteria) has changed. Some of those you knew are missing. Some of those you are now encountering weren't here before.
Dalaigh Bricolage, aka "The Raggedy Man", the Herald for the belligerent bitch, Queen Bella (Queen of the Autumn Court); fled the Court to escape Queen Bella's twisted rage in the old time line. However, he willing renounced the Court and fled on his own in this time line and is the same as he always was. His memories were protected by the same magic potion given to you by Lady Siabra Wyst's alchemist before the great unraveling. He had an affection -- a desire, actually -- for you in the old time line and he feels no differently for you in the new time line. For all your life you have been sort of asexual... not really getting the grasp of feeling and being human. Now you have started to have feelings for him. Maybe it's Fae magic. Maybe it's his personality. Maybe it's his kindness. Maybe it is your loneliness. Regardless, the feelings have started to take home in your heart.
But there is a fly in the ointment. Maybe? A tiny fly. A tiny blond Fae fly that -- both in the old time line and in the new -- has ended up coming back into Dalaigh's life and therefore yours. Little Barley... one of the true Fae but of a lower class and status than the other Fae surrounding the Autumn Court. You remember that Dalaigh had a relationship of some kind with Barley. At first (back in the old time line) you thought Dalaigh was more of a "father figure", for Barley was pretty much a little nitwit that needed being taken care of. Now you realize that the two have a deeper relationship than that. How will you fit in? It's hard being a Promethean. It's even harder when your dreams of becoming human again suddenly all start happening and you are as overwhelmed as much as if you were back in the year 2313.
