A package arrives for one Cynthia Lord, wrapped in bright blue and gold wrappings. A small attached card reads "Are you ready for an educational field trip?"

	"I can make up words if I want," Dinah protested jokingly. "C'mon, L-Nor. Let's get ice-creamed up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy rolled her eyes, but can't stay grumpy at a moment like this. She goes up to the counter with Dinah. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There's a momentary pause as the man on the other side of the counter looks the two of them over. He hands a cone to Dinah, but seems to snub Cindy.

"I think you've filled yourself with enough ice cream in your lifetime, Miss Lord, and this booth wants nothing of the money of a harlot who will BURN IN HELL for her sins of the flesh!"

A hologram switches off and a man in robes stands before them, pulling out a blaster from under the table, taking aim at the supports of the pavilion.

"This exhibit is done for.. to put the future back on it's proper moral course!"

	Riley tries to sprint forward, but he's got ground to cover and people in the way. He doesn't dare shout 'gun' for fear of panicking the crowd worse than is about to already likely happen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Please stop," Cindy says firmly. She can be shocked later. And he'd better not have hurt the person who was supposed to be here. "Put down the gun ifyou'dbesokind, sir." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Face, meet palm. She was definitely going to have words for Rip when they got back. Dinah reached for her BB-Gun as quietly and quickly as she could. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Conservationist halts in his tracks, gun arm shaking as what can be seen of his face seems strained. "I... have... a mission... future is... dirty... so dirty... liberals!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-12-11 02:07 am UTC (link)
	Riley approached cautiously, trying to figure out what was going on. "Wait a minute..." He flips through his notebook, then gasps. "The fiend..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You say liberal like it's a bad thing," Dinah snapped. She had her own weapon out now, but kept it just below the counter. "But we can talk this out. Sir." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_independent 2010-12-11 02:17 am UTC (link)
	"Of course, young lady..." The Conservationist drawls numbly, eyes glossing over. His hand opens, and the gun falls to the ground, an audible 'click' going off as lights appear on one side of it. A moment later, they seem to begin counting down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Riley clenches his jaw, turning on a communicator implanted in his tooth so only the girls hear him. "He's trying to destroy the pavilion, we have to protect it!" He hisses under his breath, still smiling at the crowd, who for now just think the line has slowed for some reason. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-12-11 02:29 am UTC (link)
	"Dead man's switch," Cindy says as she snatches the thing off the ground so Dinah can fix it. "Destroying a great moment in business history. What are, a communist?" she mutters. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah had only brought a limited supply of tools with her, strapped to her other leg, but hopefully they'll be enough. She ducks out of the way to try and get the device to cooperate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The gun isn't simple to disarm, and the Conservationist seems to come back to his senses. "You haven't heard the last of me, vile lesbian! Your kind's agenda will be defeated!" He grabs at the elephant amulet around his neck and there's a bright flash as he vanishes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Riley is quick to help run crowd control, encouraging the hawker to get back into the swing of things, and helping release the tied and gagged seller under the table. "You girls just became heroes in preserving civil rights..." He whispers to Dinah and Cindy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-12-11 03:05 am UTC (link)
	Cindy politely, soothingly, asks the poor man to put the whole thing out of his mind, then looks to Riley with a raised eyebrow. "Business and dessert history, sure," she says quietly, "but how does civil rights factor into it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-12-11 03:11 am UTC (link)
	Riley's expression turns grim. "The waffle-cone is never popularized, Ben & Jerry's is never able to establish itself as a retail location presence, Chubby Hubby is never used as a support platform for marriage equality, gay marriage ends up delayed by another fifty years!" He keeps very thorough notes when he puts his mind to it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah finished disarming the device in time to hear Riley's words. She's rather impressed by Riley's tracking of causality, truthfully. "Well. Points for us then, eh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-12-11 03:44 am UTC (link)
	"Heh. Yeah. I've got a family quite capable of ruining my hypothetical wedding without this guy doing it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's a professional Time Master (in training) after all. "Oh yeah... big points for us.." He scoops up the cones that were for the girls, and they stride off. He hands Cindy's over, but steals some of Dinah's before returning it to her. "Don't worry Cindy. You can always call me if you and Nic need to elope to somewhere Max can't rear his toupee-clad head." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And I'll forge an untraceable paper-trail that shows you both to firmly be somewhere they'll wild goose-chase you on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy snickers as she enjoys her ice cream cone. "You two are sweet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-12-11 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Well ladies, I think this trip has been fruitful enough... I think we should head back to the Time Sphere and check in with Rip." Riley grunts, before turning to Cindy. "Happy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-12-11 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	Cindy smiled. "Yeah." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
