This is not the time I was looking for.

Mairwyn? Mairwyn, the device isn't working properly. Where did you go.

Mairwyn?

It's dropped me off in the wrong place.

What's going on? As much as I love coffee, now is neither the time or the place. If this is you trying to remind me of what would have been, I already got that message.

This isn't funny.

Mairwyn, answer me!

Blast. Is this thing broken?

Ah, now, see, that doesn't quell my curiosity any. In fact, it only makes me more suspicious. I'd prefer to do it the easy way and not need to restrain you, but I'm prepared to do just that.

And if I were a Time Agent, what makes you think I would tell you?

[stopwatchesandcoffee]

Well, for starters, you pretty much already have, and your recent post to this network only emphasises that point.

Then there is your manner of speech.

And if I had not determined it already, then it would not be that difficult to get you to tell me. Your ego would do most of the work.

Sorry, Jack. You are just not nearly as interesting as you think you are, and I really have more important matters to attend to.

Oh you know of me? I knew that I'd gotten around a little, but for a stranger to know who I am? I'm flattered.

But I'm afraid that flattery and romance will have to wait for now. I don't like it when I get talked back to like that.

I can think of a dozen other things you will not like right now. And at least twice as many that you would. But you are wasting your time. I did not travel here by choice. I have no time travel device, and I have no intentions of indulging you in flattery or romance, now or in the future.

I'm not interested in being a part of the long line of people you have been 'getting around' with.

You say such hurtful things to me, and you don't even know me! Tut, tut, didn't your mother teach you any manners?

Regardless of whether you actually did mean to travel here, you have, and the means in which you've done so are illegal.
