So, the story so far. They all arrived to London of around 1867. I'm not quite sure what time of the year it should be, though, I don't think anyone's mentioned it. Valérie came first, week or so before the SB started, and settled at the Wells'. Jareth followed, with Althea, and I don't really know of the order of others, but we pretty much all came at the same time. Most of them met when Radius performed his trick at the square, thanks to Althea who blabbed the thing about the scientist from the future. Jareth and her left before Aria came in, so they haven't met then yet. Now, there's a couple of groups that seem to have formed. Jareth and Aria are opponents (with a twist aside, as LH said somewhere in this thread), most of the Questers hate the TMs, and they don't seem to see the importance of hanging around with people who aren't other travelers. Except for Katherine, that is, as she's found herself a source of money, and Wolf, who's found himself someone who needs him. Valérie, though Aria is her Clock, hasn't yet really met anyone but Jareth (again, I have plans in mind), and she isn't really interested in any of those stuff. Everyone's noticed (including Beth, who's not a traveler but is connected to the story) a strange amount of time travelers around. Jareth started to experience the time losing, which would normally mean that he's about to die (that's how it works with Clocks), but, being who he is, he can't die (and as he said, there's only one other way for him to stop being Clock, but I'll talk about it in more than hints later). Last that happened.. Althea got kidnapped by Aria as Jareth was talking to his mom/dad, Jareth and Aria had a fight on the street and Jareth stopped the time and left, not wanting to hurt her. Quinn and Alex started planning their rebellion, and seem to want to recruit Jareth, but I don't know how will they react when/if they find out who/what he really is.
I think that pretty much sums the whole ideas so far, without going into too much details, huh. People, feel free to add whatever I missed.
And just noting, once again and just in case, Clocks can't kill other Clocks.
Now, to the other thing. North has messaged me, unfortunately the character of Gilian won't be around much anymore. Though we're allowed to kill her, North said she might come back now and then, so I think we should keep Gilian alive. If you want to, you can keep Gilian active in your POVs.. Or we can see how to put her in a coma or such, so when North feels the need to come back, Gil suddenly wakes up xD

In support of our dear Ita's idea (finally that someone's decided to make it), the dimension of The Time SB is now officially and legally connected to his Ultimate SB Club (or yet to see what exactly). That means that there might be some new twists and turns in my Time, but as the founder, I figured that can only be a good thing. As the topic of time traveling and Questing maybe already tends to be not so easy to follow, we will try not to make it too complicated or add weird gaps. You can check the details about the club on the link ~ http://titanpad.com/SDQUdpybzL If you have any questions about the club, ask away in the discussion there ^^ If you have questions regarding The Time SB being a part of it, PM me (I'm on iPad, and can't see titanpad normally).
The Time will continue normally. We are still Clocks and Questers and all that, still in Victorian London and still with the same story. Think of it this way - there's a web of worlds (taking the name of my blog, which is also a reference to something from my novels, was intentional), and The Time SB is one of the worlds creating it, connected with many more through the one mentioned in the link up there ^^ .
I hope this doesn't mean that you'll leave the SB. It means a lot to me to have you all, and I love the way you're making it happen. Cheers!

I don't really understand, what does that mean? We're just connecting with other SB's or what?
Save time... see it my way.

To make things more specific, no this will not affect the SB. No, your characters will not know of the other worlds, beyond some hints from Ipqu. If all goes as planned and the club will be launched, then yes, they will receive knowledge of the existence of other worlds.
As for everyone else -- Ipqu has a grand plan. You see he is part of an agency, which aims to, it seems, bend all the Omniverse to it's will. Thus, he will offer his protection and reward to any Clock or Quester that aids him in his mission: that of, well, conquering the world, starting from London. Of course he will not mention his ties to this agency, the characters will assume he's a rogue Clock or something.
If any Clock or Quester doesn't abide, better yet! Rebellion is always fun. And they will still have to continue on their quests, which is all the more tricky with this new development, hehehe.
If any of you have any more questions, do PM either myself or Aria.
Oh yes, I'll get around to a post soon, if school allows.
I second Aria, none know of the Consortium yet.
Ipqu will be summoning Aria (the Clock ) and Jareth to his mansion outside of London. They will not speak directly to him, but know his intentions regardles.
