[Takes place after Jin joins the group, but before The Government Project]
It just so happened that everyone once in awhile, another journey starts while you're already on one...But what can you do about it when it is just as important as your first journey? Well, you could say that this journey will help you with your other one, seeing as you'll gain more insight, or you could say it's simply a much needed distraction. Whatever the case, Skylos soon found himself with that incessant beeping of that watch of his, meaning some time catastrophe was in order. Seeing the holographic compass come up, he was unsure if anyone was really up to this one. Recent disappearances and such... Well, he knew one unaffected body. "Jin!" He called to his new friend. "I need your help with something."

Jin flew upside-down through the door. "Hey." said the wandering child with a slight country accent. "wasup?"

Skylos's watch had stopped beeping by now, but the compass was sure trying to point the way. "Er. Well. This compass finds distortions in time. I'd like your help so that we can go fix it."

"Distortion in time?" he said questioningly lookin at the watch hanging over skylos' sholder. "Hmmm... I guess I could help... Why me? I'm the least experienced in the group, so why not take halo or masamune or someone?"

"I've already taken them on one...And they're somewhat distracted at the moment..." Masamune and Halo...Ironic that he said both in one sentence seeing as they were avoiding one another due to love interests. "And I need someone carefree right now." Skylos smiled. "Besides, maybe you'll learn a thing or two."

"Carefree? Why would you need someone like that?" He wondered aloud. Notice he sain "that" not "me" "Couldn't that get in the way?"

"Not as much as someone who was distracted over a little love spat." Skylos grinned. "Plus, I didn't say foolhardy. Now let's go find the book. I hope it's as easy to find as the others I've found..."

"Wait, the book? What are you talking about? What are the books?" asked Jin, floating infront of skylos and hovering, his feet a few inches above the floor.

Skylos looked up at him. "The Time Books connect us to the portal which will take us to the source of the distortion. It's pretty much just a guide to go somewhere. But we have to find it first, using this compass."

"So... The compass is a guide... to a guide?" he asked, landing on the ground witth a quizzical look on his face.

Skylos sweated slightly and rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah...How redundant, no? Well, I'm sure evil finding it wouldn't be good, so it's caution." He shrugged.

"that makes sense. What exactly would happen if someone finds it?"

"Well. Nothing without the watch. You have to have that to use it." Skylos shrugged. "More security." he chuckled. "But we'll be taking a trip in time." He said as they walked.

"Time? Wow! He said doing a few backflips in the air. "I wonder what that will be like..."

"Hmm. It's kind of like being throw down a tunnel and landing somewhere completely different. Who knows...maybe you'll get to see the Great Wall of China being built..." he shrugged. "Time will tell." He winked.

"Eh... Pun alert..." he said falling to the floor.

Skylos helped him up. "We're almost to the city now...Best be on your best behavior." he noted. he then scratched his chin. "Oh. This will be weird. Two people walking together, one in all white, and the other in all black. Interesting..." That had happened with Neon as well.

"Well... I could pass as a goth or somthin'..." said Jin getting back up onto his feet.

"And what would I be? A monk?" Skylos grinned to his friend. "A monk and a goth...That sounds like a joke waiting to happen." He mused. They entered the city at this point. "At least it's night and we won't be as noticeable."

"lots a jokes with you guys aren't there...? He said stopping floating and walked instead. "I think I should stop flying now... Hehehe." he chuckled.

"Oh yes..." Skylos nodded. "Yeah. We don't want odd questions." He winked. Skylos made a turn at an intersection. "I'm not quite sure where this is taking us..." he scratched his chin. "I never know until we get there."

"hm. I hope it's nowhere to dangerous." he said, a large sweat drop forming on his forehead

"I doubt that anywhere in this city is that dangerous." Unless of course someone tried to mug them...but didn't they have Power that they could use if they had to?

"Fair enough. But don't always assume the worst. It can really make one pessimistic in the long run." Skylos noted. They came upon a large building with many windows and many floors. "Oh joy. A hospital."

"what? What's wrong with that?" asked Jin, coming to a stop.

"Well. When's the last time you snuck through a hospital without being noticed? Plus, think of all of the coridoors and such...Even with a compass, it'll be sort of hard. Well. Let's get to it, then."

"last time I snuck through a hospital unnoticed? I've never snuck through a hospital before any ways" he said with a small grin. "even if we get cought, couldn't we just tell them we at visiting someone with a long name like callousuino or watever so they would just think 'oh, that's how you say that' and let us go?"

Skylos chuckled. "See, you're good at the jokes too." He noted. The automatic doors opened for them, putting them in the lobby. "I guess we should find an elevator."
