Long Rambling Story: One

[crankyoldcoot]

I'm too old for this....

[An annoyed sigh is heard in the background, someone has gotten fed up with yelling]

For the last time woman, I am not married to you. Now if you'll just point me towards the nearest com-system....

[More muttering in the background before the phone is picked up and talked into properally]

Hello?...what is this blasted thing

Well, far as anybody 'round here knows, this planet's Earth-that-was. Or some strange version of it. Hard ta be sure.

[crankyoldcoot]

Earth? Never heard of it. Is that in the outer rim?

[serenitysheart]

Nah, there's plenty of planets near the outer rim, but Earth-that-was ain't one of 'em. Ya must be from a different 'verse!

[crankyoldcoot]

A different universe? Well that's new. I don't think we had a planet Earth in the universe I'm from. At least not one anyone had ever heard of.

[serenitysheart]

Yep! There's people from all different 'verses here. It's really somethin'. Hard ta believe at first, I know, but there ain't no other explanation, unless I'm havin' a really long, really complicated dream!

I'm Kaylee, by the way.

[crankyoldcoot]

Uh huh....

Jolee Bindo.

[serenitysheart]

Nice ta meetcha! Should I call ya Jolee, or do you prefer somethin' else? There's all sorts of people here an' I never know quite what they want.

[crankyoldcoot]

Jolee's fine.

[serenitysheart]

Jolee it is, then! I'll see ya around!
