Hello? To anyone on this line, my name is Jack Bauer, I think there's been a serious mistake, I need to get in contact with the police right away to report a kidnapping. I also need to get back to New York immediately. I was with my granddaughter when I blacked out and I don't know what has happened to her. She's just a baby, I need to get back to ( Read more... )

When the Porter returns you, it's at the same moment as it took you. Or that's what's been said. [The kid - no more than 13 - doesn't really look amused, but there's a resigned look on his face. He also has a Scottish accent, though it;s not that strong, but it's there.] Sometimes it's something to look forward, otherwise, it's not.

Either way, I'm Safeguard, welcome to the City.

[Staaaring at the kid]

I'm sorry, but that makes no sense. Could I talk to your parents, please?

Par - Oh, you mean my guardian, right?

Video ctu_savior March 12 2010, 01:38:59 UTC

Yeah, your guardian, sure. I'm sorry, I'll just be more comfortable having this explained to me by an adult.

-are you certain about this, Safeguard? I-ah. Hello.

Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, but I need as much information as I can get and I need it now. Is what your boy is telling me true?

Re: Video spacetimeprime March 12 2010, 02:53:52 UTC

[brief pause while he looks it up-]

Regarding the Porter? As far as I understand. We are within a localized temporal distortion - a bubble, in a sense - that has attracted creatures from all parts of the multiverse, of all kinds of power. It has been said on multiple occasions that those times when one is able to return to their home dimension - a direct means has not yet been found, aside from the Porter, but it seems notoriously finicky - that one returns to the precise moment from which they left, with none the wiser that they were gone in the first place.

Is that helpful?

...If I'm understanding what you're saying, then if I go back, it will be to the exact moment I left?

permavid spacetimeprime March 12 2010, 03:15:29 UTC

Yes, precisely. That is, from what all sources have said. I myself have not experienced such a phenomenon, but I have only been here three...months, I believe the term is.

ctu_savior March 13 2010, 01:03:05 UTC

Three months, and some people have been here over a year. What do you all do? How do you live and support yourselves? Does the Porter provide for the people it kidnaps?

[from the background.] Jack may ignore Safey if wanted. <3 spacetimeguard March 13 2010, 14:57:22 UTC

The dog tags give everyone money every seven days, or so.

[Probably can't see it, but he gives a shrug.]

ctu_savior March 13 2010, 17:31:13 UTC

That's good to know, but I'm not trusting anything that thing gives me. I'm going to have to figure something else out.

/late orz spacetimeprime March 16 2010, 17:36:03 UTC

As Safeguard said, the dog tags offer a small financial allowance. Some are able to live off such and such alone - others find further employment.

I must confess this is my first exprerience with the latter. [works in an antique store part time wut]

Ok. [8|]
