I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable with this.

Guys?

Will?

[ooc: so, Oz has just arrived in the city. He happens to be very much naked right now, so this post is also good for action in Xanadu for anyone who wants to happen upon him. ]

I think most people are uncomfortable with getting dragged in here.

audio;

[ananticlimax]

I wasn't dragged, though. I sort of just...appeared. Is that weird to say?

audio;

[7thborn]

Not really. Welcome to the City, I suppose. You'll be hearing that a lot today, I expect.

audio;

[ananticlimax]

Okay. You wouldn't think it was weird to say. Given.

You are a voice in my head, right? Or are you an otherwise disembodied one? I guess it doesn't matter.

[7thborn]

I don't know, d'you normally have an English girl speaking in your head?

audio;

[ananticlimax]

No. I usually have an English guy speaking over my head, actually.

But weirder things have happened.

Check your pockets. You ought to have some sort of device that's broadcasting you on the Network in this place.

audio;

[ananticlimax]

Fresh outta pockets.

[ a thoughtful pause. ]

Let me check the bushes.

[7thborn]

You don't mean to say you've arrived utterly starkers?

audio;

[ananticlimax]

I wouldn't have said it in those words exactly, but yeah, pretty much.

[ triumph! he's found the network device. now it's even more accurate. he has no pockets to put it in. ]

Huh. They don't make cellphones with buttons this tiny where I came from.

I don't know very much about Muggle objects, to be perfectly honest. I'm learning, though, after being here for months now.

At least I arrived clothed.

audio;

[ananticlimax]

Months?

I'm okay with being naked. You know. Indoors. I wasn't exactly prepared to appear somewhere I didn't wake up in bed at. Although in the future it appears that I probably shouldn't rule out the possibility.

audio;

[7thborn]

The City does that. Personally, I was off to meet some friends and the door I walked through led me here. Not exactly something I expected. People don't know how they get here or how they get out. It's a mad place run by madder deities with ridiculous curses every few days.

And yeah, months. I dropped in around December. It's June now.

audio;

[ananticlimax]

So me showing up here is a regular thing? I mean, not me in particular, but general me. Other people.

audio;

[7thborn]

Yeah, unfortunately. There are hundreds of people here. They say it's a world between worlds. I know it sounds mad.

audio;

[ananticlimax]

No, not really.
