[Adam's face appears as the broadcast starts, peering at the camera with the morgue as a background. He studies it for a moment, and then he murmurs, with raised eyebrows:]

...Clever.

[He smiles, polite as can be.]Good evening to anyone who may be out there and receiving me. I wonder, could you tell me where I might find clothes

If your lucky, fella might find a few things littered about the place your in now. If not try and find somethin' t'wrap 'round ya and run out in the snow. Seen some fancy shops about with clothes might fit ya.

As for what's goin' on, depends really. Nothin' at the moment. Just wakin' up in a place they keep the dead apparently.

Oh, it's snowing too, is it? Wonderful. I'll see what I can find and hit the shops later, I suppose.

...Right. I'm not supposed to be dead.

[orange_balls]

So you're not a lucky fella who's come back from the dead 'ere, huh?

Seems most people were never dead in the first place.

[myheathenways]

No, death wasn't on the agenda for me before my arrival.

[Despite some people's best efforts. :| ]

No one was dead yet we arrived via the morgue? Seems someone wants to unnerve us.

[orange_balls]

I don't know about anyone else, but I was dead and gone where I came from.

Wakin' up alive 'ere was quite unexpected. Unless hell is made of cold metal and looks like some odd vacationin' spot.

[myheathenways]

It wasn't advertised that way in the Good Book, no.

This place brought you back to life, then. That's a second chance most don't get.

I'm Adam. What's your name?

[orange_balls]

Never did get that far into it t'be sure.

[Reading wasn't his best forte either.]

Third chance. Already met death again since I've been 'ere.

Burke. Pleasure t'meet such a friendly fella.

[myheathenways]

The pleasure's mine, Burke.

You've died here already? What happened?

[orange_balls]

Picked a fight and lost, but it was a damn good fight.

[myheathenways]

There's no shame in losing a damn good fight.

Did the city bring you back to life, then?

[orange_balls]

Can't bother to have any shame, sir.

[It was a useless thing to have anyway.]

What I'll be assumin', wasn't me who did it.

[myheathenways]

Did you come back through the morgue?

[orange_balls]

Sure did.

No one around like the first time, well no one who was responsible for fixin' me up that is.

[myheathenways]

Ah. So it's a re-entry point to the city as well as the entry point.

[orange_balls]

Whatever you want t'think, I'm not puttin' that much thought into it all.

[Really he didn't care. The city brought him back to life and he could go and do as he pleased again. That was all that mattered. Where he woke up and what it meant, not important.]

[myheathenways]

Mm. And I may be reading too much into it. I just like to consider all the possibilities.
