2nd Idea [Accidental Visual]

[notgivinguponyou]

[With everything settling back down again, it should be the best time to relax. But it apparently was the opposite for Tadashi, who could be seen pacing around his room at the commune. His tail flicked with every turn, and the expression on his face was more agitated and troubled than normal for those who had seen him before.

Another passing turn had him pausing, finally noticing the scroll was open. And for a moment he almost seemed to glare at it, his hardened expression persisting as he debated whether to simply roll it up.

But it only lasted a moment before his expression softened, and he managed a small, if somewhat weary smile.]

Anyone feel like grabbing a drink?

...Or taking a walk. Or...something.

[It just seemed like he could use the company.]

[notgivinguponyou]

That's amazing! [He was used to a lot amazing tech in his world, but he still hadn't heard of anything like that.] Would you be able to manage something like that here?

[4thdimensional]

[He's practically glowing. It's been so long since he's been able to share this with someone who might appreciate it.]

I'm already working on it. Steam power, a touch of magic, and some electricity should do it. I might just be paying a visit to historical figures of interest.

[notgivinguponyou]

Oh man, that would be amazing. Getting to learn about this world's history first hand...

[4thdimensional]

Not that I'll be doing it for a little while yet. I want to know everything I can before I study Starswirl in person...and we'll strictly be observing. I've seen the effects of altered timelines first hand, and I don't want to cause any major disturbances.

[He smiles.]

But I'll need all the hands on board I can get. I'd be thrilled to have you join us.

[notgivinguponyou]

Yeah, that makes sense. [He's heard enough from Fred's comments to know that messing with timelines can be bad.] But yeah, definitely! I'd be glad to help out.

[4thdimensional]

A time traveler must have a strong heart and will. We have a path that we must not waver from, no matter what temptations lie ahead---and we'll need to keep each other in check, if necessary.

I believe you're exactly the right fit for the job.

[notgivinguponyou]

[There's a touch of sheepishness to his smile, but all the same Tadashi nods.] I'll do my best.

[4thdimensional]

Good, because I only take the best. It won't be easy, but...with enough patience, we can make a better future for this world.

[He gives Tadashi another warm smile.]

[notgivinguponyou]

[Tadashi nodded.] Right.

[Even now...if he had a chance to help others...then maybe things weren't so bad.]
