[Voice Post]Ah, how odd, I seem to have misplaced my riding companions... my wife... and the entire country of Florin . While this is a definite advantage in terms of escaping further pursuit, it is a rather hollow victory without ...my ...wife, who is, after all, the entire reason for the endeavor in the first place. By that token, the same goes ( Read more... )

Welcome, you are in the City, as far as anyone is aware, there is no other name for it, though at this point I tempted to merely create one to ease the confusion some. People come here from...well..all over. Different worlds and times.

Leaving is...interesting. Some people seem to be able to pop in and out as they please, some vanish and then reappear seemingly at random, some find a way out and leave for good, and some just dissapear forever.

As for the rest, I'd say at this point you should find someplace to stay, and get ready for a span of incredibly intersting days.

Oh, and I wouldn't worry about your wife, if the statements of individuals that left and returned is any indication, no time will pass in your home while you are here.

Thank you for your pains, sir, if I should see the asylum you've escaped from, I'll let them know straightaway. The feat would be easier if you'd give me your name, remember, this is all in the interest of your mental health.

Ah yes, the confusion of arrival.

Ted Forrester, member of the Police force here. Something of a...greeter...for the City.

As for mental institutions, well, I'm currently at the hospital, so I wouldn't worry overly much.

Dread Pirate Roberts at your service, so nice of them to give you one of these... communication devices at your bedlam.

Ah well, it's my third visit, second for death, I'm becoming a habitual client.

Everyone hangs on to their communications at all times, it's...part of how one gets along in the city.

Well Dread Pirate, I take it then from you glib remarks that you are lacking in beleif at my comments?

might I suggest taking a look around the sky and streets of the city? I don't know about your world, but angels and demons do not often walk the streets of mine.

Oh, you came back from the dead, now, did you? How troubling; I do think I'm becomming common.

Your advice has been noted. If it's seconded, I'll know you've retained at least that much of your former self.

'Captain' is fine.

I've seen many odd things in my life, Ted, and have learned to take naught at face value.

Indeed, 24 hours after reaching the state of death, one shall return from it here. It has posed to be quite troubling for some, and quite agreeable to others, myself included.

Well, it would be quite rude to tell you what to do, but considering it is the most efficient menas of communication within the city, it would be well to be available to it.

Alright then, Captain it is, though I wonder what you were captain of?

Do you not then use your observations of the world around you to increase or decrease your belief in someone?

[ooc; I'm laughing my ass off here because Ted right now really does need mental help >_<]

You'll send miraclemen out of business with that talk, now.

Advice is advice, and though the merit usually is reflected of the giver, I'll have to act a magpie in this instance.

The Dread Ship Revenge.

I observe, and then I judge, and I can hardly say I've yet had enough time to judge propperly.

[ooc Irony states that two insane men reply, Westley will call them both nuts, and they'll actually be 'correct' in this case XD;]

well, the healing that the magic users provide is still useful. Pain is still felt and injuries do not heal any swifter than normal.

Ah, I'm detecting a bit of a theme on your names, tell me then, is everything on your ship 'dread'?

Well, I do hope that you observe and judge quickly, for the city can be quite a dangerous place.

[ooc: Oh man, I didn't even think of that :P, Ted is finding this hillarious :)]

asyouw1sh February 4 2008, 19:24:18 UTC
If that were not the case, it wouldn't be called death. Even an insane man could not be that far wrong.

It's a title, how perceptive of you to pick up on it so quickly.

All places are dangerous, though I'm getting the feeling this one is more upfront about its hazards than most.

[ooc Heee, Westley appreciates the help and is actually getting a lot from the conversation?]

undertaker_ted February 4 2008, 19:30:14 UTC
Well, there are some drawbacks. Assuming ones death is not resulting from a period in which the city has decided to mess with reality, what we call curse days, one returns without a pulse, a dead body that continues to operate.

And what did you have to do to earn this title? It does sound....foreboding.

Ah...well...there are many more upfront hazards than most places, but I wouldn't say that all the hazards are quite so upfront.

[ooc; Ted enjoys talking with someone that enjoys the conversation, even if the mand does think he's crazy :P]

Such a complex system for something so simple as death. It could almost make one nostalgic.

Hard work. The apprenticeship is a killer, and the commute is terrible.

Sometimes the most hazardous part of a hazard it its surprise, I'm well aware.

[ooc It's just a bit of a shock, he'll get better XD]

undertaker_ted February 4 2008, 19:46:04 UTC
It can be, I'm still getting used to it myself.

Sounds like a tough job then.

Have you any questions than that you might avoid that hazard?

asyouw1sh February 4 2008, 19:48:12 UTC
Well, it sounds as if you took the bull by the horns in the attempt.

Terribly so. I was looking into retirement before I was whisked away to this pipe dream.

I don't believe there to be anything here I couldn't handle, no.

undertaker_ted February 4 2008, 19:52:32 UTC
Well, should you need assistance, feel free to send me a message, and If I'm not to busy with the shock therapy I'll be sure to respond.

[ooc; he's laughing at the end there.]

asyouw1sh February 4 2008, 19:55:34 UTC
And I wish you the best of luck with your treatment.

[ooc Aha ♥]
