Toby sat on her couch, her long legs tucked under her as she rolled the necklace around in her hands. She had spent the past thirty minutes going over the different options she had, looking at the necklace's past would be more successful when she was around James. The past could wait. The future, well, that was a different story. So many questions and so few chances to get answers. Gently placing the necklace on the cushion beside her, Toby pulls out her pocket watch. She pauses a moment considering the importance of what she is about to do before opening the front and glancing at the many moving faces. Each one moved its own way with Time deciding on its speed and direction of each face. She knew what she needed to do, and she knew the risk she was taking, it was not one she took lightly. Toby picks up the necklace in one hand and the watch in the other; she takes in a deep breath and closes her eyes as her grip on the watch tightens slightly. When she does not feel the universe tear open she sighs in relief that was the hard part. Toby shifts her full focus of energy on the spell at hand, but that was easier said than done. It seemed no matter how hard she focused on her spell, she was not able to make it work. Frustrated, she closes her watch and sets the necklace down, deciding to try again in the morning.
After getting some rest, and refueling with some coffee, Toby sits back down and picks up the necklace again. With her watch already in hand, she begins casting her spell again, hoping Time would be on her side. But, no matter how much she concentrated, she could not get the spell to work. Feeling like screaming, she sucks in a breath and sets the watch and necklace down, knowing any more attempts would cause some trouble she did not want. The frustration over not being able to harness the magic, and needing a release almost made her reach for a business card in her purse, but she had to put that on hold. Despite wanting to let go and forget about her failures, she had to remind herself that the necklace, and what was going on with it, came first, and she tucked the idea in the back of her mind.
