Scene 0215
I. Time Trading[]
From Lore Master: Bean
"Time Trading began here at The Clocktower. The idea that one could take a specific quantity time from their future and sell it for a good, service, or someone else’s time. Quite the controversial practice, but one for which there was high demand throughout the Solverse. Anyone can place their hand on The Clocktower and whisper the quantity of their time to be commoditized. The Clocktower then issues a unique digital token representing the amount of time specified for that unique individual. The quantity of time specified must be in units of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years. These are the only units of time that The Clocktower accepts for commoditization. Just months after the birth of Time Trading at The Clocktower, every major city in the Solverse had erected an official Time Exchange. Time Trading is now a massive industry across the Solverse, but one should be careful to trade away (sell) and hoard (buy) too much time…"
II. The Time Stop[]
From Lore Master: ZeSKK
"At the very center of the Nexus, one would find the doorway to the ground zero of the Solverse, the time stop. The time stop is the doorway linking the solverse to the Koi's pound, who exists outside time and space. The door does not abide to the commands of time and space, and remains closed from the dawn of creation until the last day of the solverse, awaiting their creators return for a new cycle of beginnings and endings."
III.[]
From Lore Master: Kicks
"As the days, hours, minutes approached 1/1/2000, Y2K paranoia gripped the world. Would we meet our doomsday? Would our technology implode? Would our bank accounts go to zero? For those of us old enough to remember, we woke up on the morning of the new millennium hungover and tired from the trepidatious celebrations the night before to a world still intact. But for one sleepy town, that new day never arrived. Caught between time, the town was destined to relive the last day of 1999 over and over forever. Each day starting again the same. Now when the city center's clock tower strikes midnight again on that fateful night, the mayor forevermore jumps out the tower and screams "So tonight I'm gonna party like its 1999!"
IV.[]
"The clocktower struck 12 and everyone's memory was erased. It was time to start again. Start fresh. Reinvent the wheel. Full on industrial and societal reset. Rediscover a new path."
