[Almost inaudibly]

Shit.

[Long pause.]

O-kaaay… Not in Kansas anymore. Look, if I’m dead, Clyde Bruckman? You owe me an apology.

So, working on the assumption that I’m not… Is anyone out there?

I could use a hand here.

You're new here, I take it? Either way, this place isn't the afterlife or Kansas. It's the City, a connection point between worlds, you could say.

[Voice] call_me_spooky October 6 2008, 18:22:15 UTC

A connection point between worlds? You've gotta be kidding.

Re: [Voice] monochrome_mind October 6 2008, 18:29:28 UTC

No joke. Take it for what you will, but this city and the entities who run it, bring people from different dimensions and worlds here.

If you would like it, there's a guide that explains everything in detail. It's a useful read for first-time visitors.

[Voice] call_me_spooky October 6 2008, 18:41:26 UTC

...Wow. Cool.

That'd be a big help, Mister, uh..? Sorry, showing up in an alternate dimension always makes me forget my manners. I'm Fox Mulder, with the FBI.

Re: [Voice] monochrome_mind October 6 2008, 18:50:47 UTC

Indeed. If you can get past some of the City's quirks, then it can be an enlightening experience.

Agent Sasha Nein. It's a pleasure to meet you. There's no need to apologize as well, considering the given situation. I must admit though, it's been years since I've talked with anyone from the FBI.

Here is the guide for the City as well. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them.

[Voice] call_me_spooky October 6 2008, 19:00:43 UTC

...Wow. I have to say, I've seen some weird stuff, but this takes the cake.

Pleasure to meet you, Agent Nein. Mind if I ask, what agency are you with?

Re: [Voice] monochrome_mind October 6 2008, 19:24:13 UTC

It is rather strange, especially when curses are involved.

My agency? Believe what you will, but I work with a highly classified government agency who deals with cases that go beyond normal logic. They're called the Psychonauts, dealing with psychic ordeals and terrorism.

[Voice] call_me_spooky October 6 2008, 19:27:45 UTC

I don't even know what to begin thinking about the curse stuff. Though from what I'm reading I'll probably find out all too soon.

...I've never heard of that one, but I'm perfectly willing to entertain the notion. With all the damn classified agencies and conspiracies you wonder how they find time to run the normal government.

Re: [Voice] monochrome_mind October 6 2008, 21:45:01 UTC

Unfortunately, that is the case with curses. But many people are seeking answers and the truth behind them, so perhaps one day, they can be stopped.

When you figure out how normal govenments are run without problems, please inform me. Our division was created specifically to deal with unusual cases, so it's not evil or anything like that.

[Voice] || >_> here comes the crazy call_me_spooky October 6 2008, 22:38:42 UTC

I'm more accustomed to the bad kind of covert, classified agencies. The kind that collaborate with alien powers, covering up and abetting the abduction of innocent people in order to perform tests on them, setting the stage for the colonization of Earth.

Re: [Voice] || and here comes the curiousity monochrome_mind October 6 2008, 23:50:13 UTC

If I'd never come to the City, I don't think I could believe this theory. However...

Things like alien abductions really exist in your world? Please don't take this the wrong way, but extraterretials beings are non-existent on my world. They sound clever, by manipulating people in positions of power.

[Voice] call_me_spooky October 7 2008, 00:03:00 UTC

Most people in my world would tell you otherwise. I'm something of a joke at the bureau; they call me Spooky, consider my pursuits a kind of personal crusade, motivated by madness. But their ridicule is as much a part of the government charade as anything; believers are immediately discredited, and anyone offering even a glimmer of scientific proof, anything that can't be discredited, is destroyed.

Re: [Voice] monochrome_mind October 7 2008, 01:50:38 UTC

Pursue what you feel is right, regardless of what others say; even if the world itself fights back. I admire such determination, actually, since I know the feeling as well. My comrades think my logic, to link science and the unexplained together, is impossible at best. You are entitled to fight for what you believe in, regardless of these petty nicknames people may give you.

You seem like a misunderstood person, Mr. Mulder.

[Voice] call_me_spooky October 7 2008, 02:09:38 UTC

Well spoken, Mr. Nein.

My partner believes there's a scientific explanation for everything... that nothing is unexplained. Personally? I want to believe there are things beyond the boundaries of human knowledge. But I know what it's like when no one's willing to listen-- much less give credence to your beliefs.

Misunderstood is... well. Most people wouldn't be so kind. But I've also been reminded that it's dangerous to get into the habit of thinking oneself misunderstood.

Re: [Voice] monochrome_mind October 7 2008, 04:57:54 UTC

You speak wisely as well.

It seems we have a few distinct differences there. There is a possibility that certain things can't be explained. However, I believe humans can exceed their own expectations and reach new levels of understanding. The potential to do good and evil lies within us all, by defeating and conquering our own personal limitations.

Ah, I think I understand now. Either way, trust is hard to earn, and easily destroyed between people.
