It’s not exactly the attire of the day. It’s as if a passing
tourist has walked in on a historic moment of war being declared, hence the
herald’s sword raised in the air to attract attention. I wonder if in the
future there’ll be roped-off areas for time-travellers to gather so that they
won’t get in the way of history; though they’ll also have to be cloaked and swear
a vow of silence so that history won’t calculate that something’s up. Though
you may be masked so that they can’t identify you, there’ll still want to
question why you’re there, and it’s probably easier for them to despatch you
rather than the other way around. But if you are there to change the course of
history, then you need to act quick before other people get ideas. It’d be very
easy to grab the scroll and sneak off back through the door.
