1796

You realize that if you were going to break time you probably would have done it all ready by stepping on a butterfly of some stupid thing like that. Might as well fuck up time by fucking in the past!

You consult a local history book and grin at what you happen to open to at random. Destiny! You gather a few supplies in a frozen moment, since some are illegal and others, well, why should you pay for them? You put on the period clothing you lifted from a costume shop and put what you plan to use in a big leather satchel. Then you drive to Watervliet, New York.

It’s a tourist trap now, recreating the time period you’re aiming for, but none of the actors are as tempting as what was described in the history book. So you focus and find yourself in 1796. A sign outside the settlement declares it to be the domain of The United Society of Beleivers in Christ’s Second Appearing. In a frozen moment, you wander the village, looking for their leader, hoping that the description in the book was accurate.

It wasn’t but only in that it didn’t do her justice. The woman you quickly identify as Lucy Wright is as tall and lovely as the book described, in her early 30s with luscious dark hair and gleaming dark eyes. But the book had only hinted at that hour glass figure. Lucy Wright was stacked! You made the right choice.

Of course, being Shakers, every man and woman in the village was under a vow of celibacy and according to the history books Lucy hadn’t gotten laid since she converted at age 19. That was a historical tragedy if every there was one, you decide, and it’s your duty as a Time Master to rectify it!
