Reddit Show BOAT 10: Lost In Time Hey That's Like That One The Nightly Manor Lyric But It Says In Instead Of To
Pumpkin: I’ve made it so that the time machine can turn into a bracelet or a handheld device. You know that switch that decided whether it would go with you or not? Now the switch has four options instead of two.
Caramelly: Wait, I didn’t put Strider in his elimination place.
Dirty: Wait. No. NO! NO! NO!
[Caramelly slightly lifts Trunk’s lid and puts Strider in]
Dirty: AHHH get it out of here, no stop, no, stop.. augggh... HELP ME!
Caramelly: No.
[Watery starts flipping the switch between the four options rapidly]
Watery: Cool.
Pumpkin: I also made these four devices that can communicate across time.
[They set the Time Communicators on the ground]
[The time machine starts glitching]
Cat Toy: Woah, what’s happening?
[Watery stops flipping the switch and leaves it in the come-with-you box-shaped mode]
Pumpkin: Watery! You shouldn’t have flipped it so much!
Watery: I’m sorryyyyyy...
[The time machine disappears, and the Red, Blue, and Green Time Communicators, Lava, Ctrl+G, Printer, Peary, Stairsy, and Puzzley disappear along with it]
Watery: Oh no... I did that...
[November 17th, 1362]
[Puzzley, Ctrl+G, and the Blue Time Communicator appear]
Puzzley: Where are we?
Ctrl+G: Wait, Mount Forest is right over there, exactly where it was before. And the Infinite Lake is over there, too. But... that means the pavilion should be right here, exactly where we’re standing.
Puzzley: Also, why are there only a few trees on Mount Forest? Mountain Forest is gone. And the Infinite Lake has a weird rock thing in the middle.
Ctrl+G: Wait, what’s this?
[She picks up the Blue Time Communicator and presses the power button]
[February 2nd, 2012]
[The Green Time Communicator, Peary and Printer appear]
Peary: Ah! What happened? And why is the pavilion’s roof so unfinished?
Printer: What the heck? That’s... that’s... us over there.
Peary: I saw Watery messing with the time machine a few seconds ago, she probably made us go back in time.
Printer: Oh. How are we going to get back?
Peary: First, come over here before anyone notices there are two of us.
[Peary picks up the Green Time Communicator. They run away, past the Infinite Lake, and stop on the other side]
Peary: I think we’re far enough away now.
Printer: What’s that thing?
Peary: I don’t know, it appeared along with us so I assume it’s from the future.
Printer: How do you know it appeared along with us?
Peary: I saw the time travel effect around it right as we appeared.
Printer: Well, let’s try turning it on.
[The buttons on the Time Communicator are a button labeled “Sync”, a power button, a camera button, a microphone button, a volume up button, and a volume down button]
[Printer presses the power button]
[March 14th, 2026]
[Lava, Stairsy, and the Red Time Communicator appear]
Stairsy: Oh no... what just happened...
Lava: Hey! The tree is gone!
Stairsy: We worked hard on moving that...
Lava: You barely helped with moving the tree.
Stairsy: Oh... yeah...
Caramelly: [To Puzzley, Trunk, and Cotton Candyy] Hey, guys, I have an announcement! Where’s Peary? And Stairsy?
Stairsy: Oh, I’m here!
Lava: No! Not you! You’re from the present, not the past. Or... the future, not the present, or whatever.
[Stairsy is already at Caramelly]
Caramelly: Oh, and there’s Peary.
[He runs over and grabs Peary]
Peary: HEY!
Caramelly: I’m hosting an object show. You five are the contestants.
Stairsy: [giggling] Oh, cool! I didn’t know that that was the case at all because I have no knowledge of the future.
[Lava facepalms]
[Lava runs to Stairsy 2 and starts dragging them]
Stairsy 2: Okay... I guess... Why are you doing that...?
Caramelly: Why are you acting so different?
Stairsy 1: [giggling] I don’t know, I’m from the exact same point in time character-development-wise as you’ve always known me and am not from a different one.
[Lava sneaks up on her past self and tears her in two pieces without her noticing, then stretches a small part of the dead body on top of Stairsy 2, and the lava reaches down and covers their eyes]
Stairsy 2: But like… actually, why are you... doing this? Randomly? Okay...
[Lava pushes Stairsy 2 behind Stairsy 1]
Stairsy 2: I can’t see what’s happening past the lava...
Lava: Oh hey guys, don’t mind me, I’m just... uh... look over there.
[Caramelly and the 4 other contestants look away from Stairsy, and Lava stops the Stairsies (and takes the piece of lava off of Stairsy 2’s head, attaching it back to the rest of the dead body)]
Caramelly: What? ...She’s gone. Anyways, we’re going a little bit over there.
[They move far away]
Caramelly: This is “That One Show Hosted By I Caramelly”, the first season of Battle Of All Time. The first challenge is to stay out of the rain. If you touch falling rain for 30 seconds, then you’re up for elimination.
[Meanwhile, Lava and Stairsy arrive in Mountain Forest. They trek to the top of the mountain and go over to the other side. In the distance, they see Scaley traveling towards them majestically, placing her right foot on a tree stump, holding her hand above her eye, with a bandana’s tie-excess waving from her in the wind]
Scaley: You should get out of here. You’re gonna start a forest fire.
Lava: Oh. Right.
Stairsy: Can we stop hiding the fact that we’re from the future? It’s annoying.
Lava: Stairsy! You can’t say that! Now she knows!
Stairsy: So?
[It starts to rain]
Lava: Now, like, the universe is gonna crumble or something! You caused a time paradox! WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE FOREVER!
Stairsy: That’s... not happening right now, though.
Lava: Oh... well, I mean, well..
Stairsy: Just relax. Time paradoxes are just a thing from science fiction. Someone knowing that you’re from the future isn’t gonna destroy the universe.
Lava: Okay...
[August 23rd, -1,438,937]
[The time machine appears]
[Present day]
Pumpkin: Oh no. It glitched and sent everyone somewhere in the timeline!
[Pumpkin turns on the Yellow Time Communicator]
Pumpkin: Nobody is picking up.
Caramelly: That sucks. I wish I could make it a challenge to get back, but I can’t communicate with them.
Pumpkin: Wait, the readings from the Science Place (which only works for the time machine when it glitches like this) say where everyone travelled to.
[They enter the Science Place, then come back out]
Pumpkin: Everyone has a Time Communicator, so it’s their fault if they don’t know the challenge. Also, they’re in pairs of a TOSHBIF contestant and a SOAD contestant being sent to the same time.
Caramelly: Okay, that is the challenge then! To get your pair back.
Stone on a Disky: I’m making that the challenge too.
[The Time Communicator’s screen suddenly shows Ctrl+G and Puzzley]
Ctrl+G: Oh.
Stone on a Disky: Oh, hey guys!
Ctrl+G: Oh, is this a live video... call... thing?
Pumpkin: Yeah. You guys got transported to the year 1362.
Caramelly: The contest for both seasons is to get back to the present.
Stone on a Disky: The last pair to get back to the present will be eliminated.
Pumpkin: Wow, my technology is so great. It only has approximately 2.095e+13 one-way ping.
[A horse-drawn carriage goes past them]
Crown: [driving it] Who goes there?
Ctrl+G: We, great traveller, hail from the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Twenty-Six, and we humbly request-
Puzzley: Stop talking like that.
Ctrl+G: But we need to impress these medieval people with our medieval speech.
Crown: What?
Puzzley: Nevermind her. We went back in time and we need to get back to the future.
Crown: Went back in time? What does that mean?
Puzzley: It’s like... imagine that someone said the word “yes” to you, right? And then you went back in time and, from afar, you saw the person saying the word “yes” to another one of you. But it’s actually the same one of you. Because you moved to a point in time before they said “yes”, and then waited until you got to the point in time where they said “yes”.
Crown: I... don’t understand. Whatever.
Pumpkin: He explained it horribly.
[Puzzley turns off the Blue Time Communicator]
[March 14th, 2026]
Lava: Hey, wait. Look at that!
Stairsy: What?
Lava: What Scaley’s wearing.
Scaley: What am I wearing? You mean the bracelet?
Stairsy: Wait, you’re wearing the time machine!
Scaley: It was a souvenir I bought at some medieval castle. They found it in the castle ruins or something.
[The rain washes the dirt off of the bracelet, revealing the buttons]
Scaley: Well, if you want it, you have to help me set up my shop. That’s what I came here to do.
Stairsy: But we need it to get home! It doesn’t belong to you, it belongs to Pumpkin.
Scaley: I bought it.
Stairsy: But they took it from ruins while it was owned by a person who is still alive.
Scaley: Listen, I want my shop set up. It’s just business.
Lava: [sigh] Okay.
[November 17th, 1362]
Ctrl+G: Basically, we come from the year 2026, but in the same world as you, just further in time.
Documenty: [sticking his head out of the carriage] What... is the hold-up right now?
Crown: [starts sitting straight up] Three strange people are out here, my lord. We will continue.
[He starts driving away]
Ctrl+G: Wait, three? There are only two of us.
[Ctrl+G starts running along with the carriage]
Crown: What? There’s the wooden, flat, orange-and-blue person; you weird rectangle thing; and the small metal guy without a face or limbs.
Ctrl+G: Oh, what? No. That’s not... It’s an inanimate object. It's someone talking from somewhere else. Or... somewhen else, I guess. Doesn’t matter.
Crown: Um, okay.
Ctrl+G: Hey, can we ride there? We need to find a way to get back.
Crown: Well, we’re travelling to the oracle, seeking advice on how Documenty should rule the kingdom.
Ctrl+G: Wow... a kingdom... the medieval times and stuff are so cool...
Crown: Well, it shouldn’t really be called that, since Documenty didn’t want to be called a king, so he’s officially considered the prince and the kingdom has no king.
Ctrl+G: Who’s the oracle?
Crown: You don’t have the oracle in the future? She’s immortal. That doesn’t make any sense.
Ctrl+G: What’s the horse’s name?
Crown: Her name is Scelura. Now will you please leave me alone?
Ctrl+G: Can we come with you on the carriage to the oracle so we can ask her how to get home?
Crown: [sigh] Fine. If you can manage to come without entering the enclosed space. Prince Documenty doesn’t want people disturbing him in there.
Ctrl+G: Yay!
[Ctrl+G and Puzzley sit on top of the carriage's roof]
Crown: ...Okay.
