001 - The Barge Just Sank From EMO.

[bythe_books]

I wake up, and I'm still here. Same flat, same year: 1973-- only now the telly won't work. No more contact with the real world, just this journal. But I'm not dead, the OD didn't do it-- they must've brought me out. The coma within the coma, gone.

But they couldn't wake me completely. Oh God, please. I just want to wake up. I want to go home

Will is compelled enough to be caring.

Hey... are you okay?

Not often I see someone's journal entry just disappear like that on my pc.

I've been here a while longer than I wish so... I mean, I'm not very helpful usually, but I could fill you in on the basics at least.

Aww <3

[bythe_books]

I don't think I am. I've just been told that I'm on a transdimensional prison ship and that I might be dead.

How... long do people tend to stay here?

Re: Aww <3

[fractured_will]

Rough way of putting it, was hoping to tell you gentler, but yeah, that sounds about right.

Hard to say. Inmates could be here a while. Wardens seem to have the better deal, all things considered; more freedom, for example. I've heard some can even choose their time of stay.

[bythe_books]

So, say I'm a Warden... I can leave now, can't I? Just shout to the man at the top and I can go home?

[fractured_will]

Hmm. Sad to say it doesn't work out like that. If you're here, there's a good reason for it. You don't seem like an Inmate--then again, who does?--so I'm guessing you're here to help someone out. Maybe get something in return, I don't know.

Also, to my knowledge, none of us have ever seen the Admiral. Hear him often, but that is all.

[bythe_books]

But I didn't ask to come here. I just want to go home even back to 1973. Please.

[fractured_will]

...Oh man, I do feel bad for you. But there's nothing I can do, I hate to say. I'm stuck here just like you. I didn't ask to be brought here either; hell, I'd preferred empty death to this. My Inmate is the last person I want to spend eternity with.

Sorry, rambling, but point is, it can't be all that bad, right?

[bythe_books]

So everybody here's a prisoner.

...I don't know, as far as hallucinations go, this one's pretty bad.

[fractured_will]

If you want to look at it that way. Which I don't blame you. Certainly feels like it.

Wait... crap... I'm not doing much to cheer you up, am I? Sorry about that.

Hallucinations? Wishful thinking. I've gone through several bottles of alcohol in hopes this would be some bad hangover or whatever. Doesn't help. Gotta face reality eventually.

[bythe_books]

Nonono. This isn't reality. This is just some mad place my mind cooked up when the coma started to break. 1973-- couldn't cut it! Let's make it a ship floating in space! That way Sam Tyler can never leave!

[fractured_will]

I want to help you. Really. But you're not making any sense here.

All I can say that this is, sadly or otherwise, true reality.

Look, if you need to knock back a few, I'll understand. I can even provide the drinks.

[bythe_books]

I'm in a coma.

None of this is real!

...but as for the drinks, I think I'm getting some with a Doctor... 'Horrible'.
