"Oilman has been gone for a bit."

[timeman00a-oilman00b]

"Huuuuh...?"

“Skating huh? Normally where I’m from if it involves ice it usually means someone is trying to kill you with an ice magic. Interesting. Also, what do you mean by almost humans? We angels designed humans in our image, did humans design robots in their image? If so I’m terribly sorry for you.”

[timeman00a-oilman00b]

Finals.

[timeman00a-oilman00b]

As if that wasn't already hard to believe.

"Me? Well, I dunno how to exactly define one. A machine built kinda like but kinda not like a human, I guess." He waves his only arm about, twirling his fingers. "I'm Oilman. I clean up oil and have a special oil that works with any machinery, 'cause I'm a maintenance bot." He winks, showing off his star eye.

"You here for sight-seeing? You should check out the plaza, it's great for skating if you're into that sorta thing."

“Though it is rude to ask an angel how they lost their wings… I’ll let it slide since you are from Earth. I’m simply here to see how it’s changed. You see I have a friend down below who used to live here but time travels differently where we’re from so I’m simply sight-seeing for now. What about you? What exactly is a robot?”

[timeman00a-oilman00b]

"Well, I'm jus' saying that I wouldn't mind there being two of me's, so we can make like... el Oilman Grande if you catch my drift." Wink wink, nudge nudge. It was still funny to him. Somehow.

His eyes lighten up at Time so casually handing him a wrench. His Time wouldn't even consider the thought of working on a skateboard from how much he's working all the time... maybe he should bring it up to him.

"Surprisingly well while one-handed!" He spins the wrench between his fingers, leaning over Time (2) carefully, inspecting it. "Man, this board's so cool! You got ya wheels greased up, too?" Oil was giddy just working on a same interest with a similar person.

Little do they know that the swap goes both ways. Time's Oilman is going to find out that he's been given the Ol' Texas Switch-A-Roo on the flip side. The multiverse works in wonderful ways.✨️

"Uuuh-huh." Time crosses his arms, tapping his finger.

"That's rather annoying. The next thing we know, we'll have a whole gathering of similar characters in one setting." He doesn't know how many Oil's he can keep track of at once. Speaking of, that makes him wonder where his went. It was uncharacteristically quiet with no music playing outside of his own. This should fix itself in theory. If not, they he may have to go on an expedition.

"Multiverse Theory aside, how are you with tightening the truck of a board?" His skateboard keeps catching this alters attention. It may be a good way to keep him from wandering off. Time flips a wrench in his hand and holds it out to Oil to invite the familiar face to join him.

@grafitticreativity continues from here:

“Right... Solaris.” He huffed, furrowing his eyebrows. “Fallen angel? Scouring Earth?” He repeated, almost not believing it until he saw them make their notepad disappear, somehow.

“...”

“Okay, I’ll bite.” He bluntly states. “Mind elaborating on that?” That being referred to as what this fallen angel stuff means.

[timeman00a-oilman00b]

“Excuse me er… metal men? What exactly are you? I haven’t seen creatures like you on Earth before. Then again, time is different where I’m from.”

"You lost, toots? We're.. uh, robots. Who are you?"

[timeman00a-oilman00b]

“Bwa—!” Was what he managed to get out before Time (Time 2) slapped a hand over his scarf... face plate thing.

He takes a moment to listen to Time, then another second, listening for the rhythmic ticking. Instinctive, he knew that if he didn’t watch his words carefully, the new Time’s going to get upset at him. Rightfully so, he did just show up out of the blue. Slowly, he takes Time’s wrist, carefully lowering it from his scarf.

“Aight, cool yer gears a bit, Time.” He waves a bit nonchalantly. “So, like... I’m not the best at explainin’ this, but in short, I’m not your Oil.” He raises an eyebrow, thinking to himself for a bit. “I don’t know the terms for it, but somethin’ about the timelines kinda... mixed? I think? And my Time told me, so I may or may not have just followed you home.”

“But before you get mad at me—!” He says, “It wasn’t outta anythin’ bad, just curiosity, s’ all! You look like my Time, but.. not at the same time.”

“Siiiiick skateboard, by the way.” He would ask if he does tricks, but he wants to wait for a response first... or probably get prepared to get kicked out. Fair.

[timeman00a-oilman00b]

“Woah, you’re working on a skateboard? No waaaay!” His eyes widen out of pure shock along with amazement. “I almost can’t believe it! I can’t! Haha, lemme see the design, baby!”

As he leans over, he gleams at him. “Oh, just wanted ta pop in and see the other Time... you know, like.. the wormhole junk and timelines and... what not?” His hand raises, pointing at his bells, noticing how they can also be used as headphones. “Yo, you can do that? Whatcha listenin’ to?” He asks another question as if he wasn’t already intruding on his space.

"Heeeeeeyyy, other Time. Time 2! Whatcha doin'?" Uh oh. Somehow Oilman managed to sneak in.

He's hunched over, working on a skateboard. Three of the wheels were removed and to the side to be readjusted and tightened. One was still on, having just been tightened to spin with ease.

Time had his brass bells down over his ears with music playing through them. He thought he heard someone say his name. One of the bells is pushed up to listen. Sure enough, there was someone! Seeing it wasn't some random robot, he puts his death scowl away.

"I'm sorry, what?" What was Oil talking about, though? Did he change something about his appearance, too? He looks a little different.

[timeman00a-oilman00b]

I found art from a while ago of Timeman, regular and armorless.

He has those slit clock eyes, like those fancy clocks. I don’t know the name for them, but you know what I’m talking about, right?

One day I’ll draw Oilman too, because I really want to draw how he looks as well!

[timeman00a-oilman00b]

“Great minds think alike, don’t they?”

"I am sensing another akin to my own genius."

[timeman00a-oilman00b]

“I am not phased by any other alternate versions of me. I’ve long accepted for the possibility of wormholes spawning in our timeline; although I’d love to know the cause for it.”

“You ever think about having multiple Timemans in one area, so you can have like a whole army or somethin’? Like... Mega Timeman? El Timeman grande?”

“No?”

[timeman00a-oilman00b]

[timeman00a-oilman00b]

Oil and Time what do you like to do on summer break?

"Revise my schedule for fitting in more events."

"I get to practice my skating more!"

"Oh yeah, and definitely hanging out with more of my bros. Goin' out late at night, hangin' out and havin' fun.... yeaaaah."

[timeman00a-oilman00b]

Really wanna start getting into this again. I know I definitely missed out on stuff.
