Marcus and Rune don't start with martial ability. He's a soft diplomat, and she only has the one gun on her hull. But by the end of the series, they've been through bad stuff, and that's built the need to fight in them. He has an electric robot arm, and she has psychic daggers.

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 9

At that moment, something moved at the edge of my field
of vision. I instinctively shrank against the oak tree, only to
relax an instant later. The 2CV had blinked back into existence
or had become visible or whatever. I was so relieved, I
laughed out loud.

A SWEET DEAL

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 9
“We won’t let you get away with it. Not now. Not ever.”
“You told me that.” The ChronoOpper™'’s voice was hoarse. “But, you really should reconsider. Think of all there is to gain for you.”
“Gain?” Guy laughed. “Nothing we might gain is worth what we’d lose.”

#TheDragonblood

"Hang on, back up," I say to Sabrina."You're a GODDESS?"

Sabrina looks like she's trying to hold back a #laugh. Then she turns serious. "Felix, this is not the time. Let me deal with this. Aimetor, what is it you need?"

#TheDragonblood: Felix has a meal, vegetarian by request, and is warned off some spiral-shaped vegetables. Their mind starts to wander to possible reasons for it.

When lunch is ready, a dish is placed in the centre of the table, filled with beans and rice and vegetables. On separate plates are the meat and some green spiral vegetables that I don’t recognise. There’s enough for a feast.
	I grab some of the main dish and a few of the spirals. I try not to pay attention to my hosts as I eat. The food, unlike the atmosphere, is amazing. When I’ve cleared my plate, I come back for seconds.
	“Those are not for you,” Aimetor tells me, noticing me reach for another spiral.
	“They don’t have meat in them, do they?” I ask. They look and taste safe, although for all I know about this world, they come from a plant monster. Or maybe they were cooked in lard. One or the other.
	“No, we eat them to replenish our magic,” Aimetor explains. “I see you already had some. No matter. Just leave the rest to us.”
	I am a little relieved. My mind was starting to drift to more concerning reasons Aimetor might prohibit me from eating them, like them being toxic to non-mages.

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 9 - excerpt: laugh

I opened my purse & tilted it so he could see the weapon inside.

He laughed. “Do you even know how to use that?”

Goodness he excelled at goading. An effective strategy. I narrowed my eyes, fuming. “Wanna bet?”

Another laugh, another display of dimples.

Another laugh, another display of dimples.Image: audiobook cover with a twenty-something woman in the foreground. She has dark wavy hair, bright red lipstick, and wears a long, olive green wool coat of World War II Army vintage. She looks anxiously over her shoulder at a cityscape at night, with searchlight beams cutting across a teal-colored sky and lighting up old-fashioned propellor-powered airplanes. In between the woman and the city, a jeep cuts across a field filled with barbed wire. The jeep's bright yellow lights beam on the fleeing woman. The author's name is in white at the top of the illustration: Janet Raye Stevens, Award-Winning Author, with Narrated By Cassandra Medcalf underneath. At the bottom of the picture is the book's title, Beryl Blue, Time Cop.

Day 9: laugh

(Moving backwards in time, this comes immediately after Day 11’s prompt…)

“Are you gonna get, or do I need to knock you into next week?” Not that good of a line, but the freak sort of laughed at it before standing up and darting off into the late afternoon sun.

#TimeTravelAuthors “You’re gonna laugh,” said Gary. “Microfilm.”
Locksmith didn’t laugh. “What’s microfilm?”
“A really… retro way of storing old newspapers and magazines and stuff. I’ve only ever used it once, when I was doing a history report for Mr. Adler — there were some records I needed…”

Day 9:

“Is this heaven? This can’t be heaven, can it?”

Another long pause.

“What is ‘heaven,’ Eddie Walters?”

Eddie tried to sit up. His body stubbornly did nothing.

“Where am I?”

“New Jersey.”

Eddie laughed. “Not heaven, then.”

In Charlotte's story and STATUS GREEN (same universe), the MCs are all #TimeTravel agents in training, so on their way to become the experts.
In A SWEET DEAL, Quintus only knows there is a time machine (in the garage). It's his parents who are the expert time travelers.

Morning #Septopolis you crossed my timeline so I'm answering.
In #AndinoAndina , #specfic, set on another timeline, people verbally speak Andean, English, Spanish, and a few Portuguese. Then there's also telepathy.

“I love stories,” mused Tonio. “My Granddad and my uncle were the storytellers in our family. It brings history to life hearing about it from a personal perspective. Grandma used to laugh and tell us not to believe all of it, but us kids loved the evenings when the _pulque_ flowed and those two got going.”

“What's that gooey stuff inside?”
“Chirimuya.” Ana looked at my blank face and giggled. “It's a fruit.”
“Oh. Wow. Tastes like what custard is trying to be. You'll have to show me what they look like.”
“Sure. I’ll bring some next time. They look really ugly!” she giggled.
I laughed and only just avoided spraying crumbs all over the table.

#TimeTravelAuthors 9 September: laugh

‘What do you want me to do?’ It felt exciting and laughable at the same time. We had not had a proper holiday for years, and funds were not overflowing in my bank account.

"And I guess you aren't the type to have a good time with him before you leave."

"You mean…kiss him?"

She pressed her lips together like she was holding back a laugh. "Something like that."
