** Enter Bard **
* Bard fades into the Brink looking half-dead. He hasn't shaved yet and his hair is a mess from sleep. He's clutching a mug of coffee as if it were a lifeline into the world of the living. He shuffles across the room, yawning. When he realizes where he is, he doesn't even fight it. He just sits down at a table and sips his coffee*

:::At the sound of someone entering, K's neck hides in his shoulders. As soon as he un-tenses he slowly turns to see who it is. oh god... K reddens as the thoughts flood back to him. He sighs, picks up his drink and walks to the table:::
:::He stands at a chair and looks at Bard::: Am I disturbing you...?

*Bard looks up at K groggily. He shakes his head* Nah. Have a seat... K... right?

:::He nods as he takes up a chair:::
My full name is Kal, but I'd be honored if you called me K. :::he takes a deep breathe and cuts to the chase:::
Listen...I don't know how long its been for you since I caught my sister harassing you...or worse if it's happened on multiple occassions. But, I sincerely appologize on her behalf. She doesn't understand that it's not quite the way it is here as it is in our world...

*Bard's sleepy eyes widen just a little* Sister, huh? I was wondering what prompted you to drag her off last night.
*he takes a sip of coffee* I don't know what to say.. I mean, she really threw me for a loop...
*he looks at K thoughtfully* She doesn't like being told no, I take it.

She's never been told no... I think they used to try to tell her no...but eventually gave up. I wonder sometimes how in the world we're related.
Uhm...I'm not exactly sure what happened, nor if any of my suspicions are true, do I want to know. And...I don't know what she told you...

*Bard takes another sip of coffee*
She told me I'm a "legend" where she comes from. *he chuckles* Silliest thing I've ever heard.

:::K closes his eyes and massages the bridge of his nose:::
I'm afraid she's not kidding, Bard. I didn't really want to tell anyone, because knowing the nature of this place, our interference might really mess up time. But of course Kara has no respect for that sort of thing...

:::K nods absent mindedly, not really focusing on Bard. He's got a lot going through his mind at the moment:::
Children grow up listening to parables about you, and Tavin, Maggie...Cora...everyone in here.

*Takes a moment to process this information.*
So... you... and Kara... and everyone of your time... grew up listening to stories about us? About the Brink?
How is that possible? Who told you these stories?

:::deep breathe:::
Kara and I come from a time when the world was revolutionized. The earth is in shambles, and the only way the human race really survives is through technological stability. Unfortunately, the love of human advancement caused the race to forget the more important things in life. I'm sure you've heard a similar scenario from someone quite close to you...

*he blinks*
Do all women of the future dress so immodestly?

Yes... well, no. I don't think so. Actually, the earth is pretty barron, humans lived in closed off, entirely climated and controlled settings, maintained by technology. It didn't matter that the sun ripped through the atmosphere and destroyed the ground. My people don't live in a place so dependant on control like that... if we don't wear clothing, it's because it's damn hot. But Kara uses that sort of thing as an excuse...
And yes...we're a dirrect result of Cora's time. Very dirrect. Kara and I only exist because of the Brink of Time...
:::He knew the rest was going to be rather hard to explain:::

*Bard ponders*
Cora... This all has to do with Cora... she becomes part of this revolution?
