[ The feed clicks in and out, screen going completely blank and getting some interesting shots of a tweed suit coat and the concrete as its owner fumbles with it. It’s a curious device and he’s trying to figure out exactly what it is, but logic and a few key presses help him deduce that this is, in fact, a telephone of some sort. ]Well, that’s ( Read more... )

[and have a young woman appear on the screen, wearing a light sweater. She waves a bit, giving a small smile]

Hello Dr. Watson.

Ah [slight dip in smile] I, much as you, and most everyone here has been plucked from their homes and dropped into this city. I am very new myself so I might not be the best source of information, but I'll try my best to answer any questions you have.

[ He returns her smile. ]

Thank you, madam...? I'm sorry I don't believe I caught your name.

Is this some sort of kidnapping? They seemed to know who I was when they welcomed me here. Are you aware of a purpose?

Winry Rockbell.

A kidnapping is more or less right, though they and others here consider it more of a [thoughtful pause] conscript I suppose.

This place you have been brought to is only know as The City. It's overrun with criminals and other troubles of various sorts, to the point that their own people cannot fend them off alone.

So they are bringing in people from other places to aid them, thus you.

That's a lovely name, Miss Rockbell.

Overrun with criminals... I suppose my being here is logical, though I cannot remain long. Is there someone I need to speak to in order to return from whence I came?

ha ha ha ha awesome

you can go to london if you want, but

you better be ready to get assaulted for an eyefull of mcdonalds everywhere, and half naked ladies on page 3 of the sun

but hey, accents are still the same, more or less!

now you just have to deal with the modern scourge of the earth that are Chavs

[ Ok, there is a long pause as he only understood a good third of what she spoke of. ]

...Pardon me, I don't believe I understand what you're on about, miss.

i'm going on about england

now, i'm just one of the descendants of criminals that england shipped out to a massive continent island, but

i know a good bit about modern england

thoroughlyrely February 1 2010, 05:55:39 UTC

Alright, I got that but I'm not really sure who this McDonald fellow is.

And I assume you're talking about America.

Dr. Watson.

[Have a mildly amused looking Brit in suit and tie. Watson is actually one of the few characters around this place that James even recongises.]

I'm afraid you won't be returning to London just yet.

[video] thoroughlyrely February 1 2010, 05:57:38 UTC

[ He's a bit confused at how he's being addressed but doesn't pay too much mind to it. ]

That will not do. What purpose must I serve here so I can get back?

[video] doubleoohbaby February 1 2010, 06:05:34 UTC

Well, you could certainly purchase a plane ticket back home- or perhaps a ferry would be more to your liking- but this London won't be as you know it.

[And then a short snort of a laugh.]

But really, where's the fun in that when there's a whole new city to explore? I'm sure you'll find plenty of interests here to keep your mind occupied.

[video] thoroughlyrely February 1 2010, 06:17:09 UTC

I have personal obligations, a fiance, an insane friend who already makes poor decisions when I'm there...

[British people unite.]

Well, you're in the City. Congrats, I guess.

voice thoroughlyrely February 1 2010, 05:59:04 UTC

Hello, madam.

...does this situation call for congratulations? I find myself not so fortunate.

voice hisforonehour February 2 2010, 00:27:44 UTC

It all depends. For some people, it is a congratulations. If you're dead, then being ported here will bring you back to life. Strange, yeah, but that's how it works.

[video] not_polish February 1 2010, 01:34:21 UTC

Watson?

[wow, something she recognizes]

Well, you're in the City. It's apparently this dimension's New York City.

[video] thoroughlyrely February 1 2010, 06:02:11 UTC

[ Why hello there pretty lady. He smiles kindly to her. ]

And I do not believe I have the pleasure of knowing your name, miss--?

New York City? Has technology made it possibly to get across the pond in a matter of moments?

[video] not_polish February 1 2010, 20:10:00 UTC

Jupiter. But call me Sally, dear. I'm not too big on formalities.

[she flashes him a smile]

I suppose so. At least, the technology here. It's a lot to take in, after all, it's 2010. I'm sure that proves to be rather unsettlin' for someone like you, Dr. Watson.
