π 3.1

[The video feed shows a young boy with a mop of dark, unruly hair, and what could possibly pass as a pair of pyjamas and a tunic for his attire. He’s clutching a reed belt to his chest, and for a moment he just looks upset and defeated.

As he takes in his surroundings his expression changes, becoming bewildered and a touch more hysteric.]But... I ( Read more... )

Oh, hey, that's pretty rough. [This kid was clearly about to go to bed or something. Even if his pyjama top's a bit gaudy.]

I'm really only new here myself but I don't know if there really is a why. I think there are gods or something, though, and they're the ones who brought you here.

[Audio] geniusmind March 15 2010, 22:19:56 UTC

But where are we? Why would they bring me here?

[Audio] jumpsinthepool March 15 2010, 22:27:06 UTC

It's some kind of... [He tries to remember the exact phrase Anthony said to him and manages] nexus of reality? It's a city called the City.

[Maybe he shouldn't be explaining it so soon but....learn through teaching? Maybe?] I don't think people know why we're brought here but there's a possibility that it has to do with running a clock underneath the City using misery. I mean, apparently, I don't really know. I think that's probably just something somebody thought of.

[Audio] geniusmind March 15 2010, 22:33:30 UTC

An inter-temporal and inter-dimensional nexus? That's what I've just been told, anyway.

It does sound that way. A clock that uses misery to run doesn't make very much sense at all.

[Audio] jumpsinthepool March 15 2010, 22:38:20 UTC

Right, yes. It's one of those. Though I don't think there's probably a lot of them.

That's what I thought. Misery isn't exactly a form of energy.

[Audio] geniusmind March 15 2010, 22:49:03 UTC

I imagine there are several. But given the size of the universe, and the factors required to bring someone to one, I should think this sort of situation is quite rare.

No. It seems far more likely to be a folk tale people have come to believe based upon their experiences in this city, rather than any actual evidence.

[Audio] jumpsinthepool March 16 2010, 00:07:42 UTC

Just our luck we ended up in it, right?

Still, it would be nice to know what we really are here for.

[Audio] geniusmind March 16 2010, 00:31:35 UTC

At the moment I'd say it's better than the alternative.

Although I do agree it would be nice to know why it is we're here. Judging by the guide I was sent, it doesn't seem like there's anyone who can answer that question.

[Audio] jumpsinthepool March 16 2010, 00:36:45 UTC

Maybe we'll find out someday? But, uh...what's the alternative?

[Audio] geniusmind March 16 2010, 00:44:37 UTC

I hope so.

Well, I'd be dead if I hadn't been brought here.

[Audio] jumpsinthepool March 16 2010, 00:53:48 UTC

What? Really? Well, then it's good you're here. Whoa. Are you okay?

[Audio] geniusmind March 16 2010, 00:58:24 UTC

I'm fine. Which is more than I can say for the Earth. I expect by now it will have been completely obliterated.

[Audio] jumpsinthepool March 16 2010, 01:17:22 UTC

...it was still there when I left? When are you from?!

[Audio] geniusmind March 16 2010, 01:28:42 UTC

It was approximately 64997474 BC. I'm aware there should have been history after that, but I was unable to stop the Cybermen's plans.

[Audio] jumpsinthepool March 16 2010, 01:32:08 UTC

That's uh...that's pretty far back. And if it was gone...shouldn't I have winked out of existence or something?

[Audio] geniusmind March 16 2010, 01:36:54 UTC

Possibly. That date far proceeds any form of human life on Earth.

Perhaps you still exist due to us being trapped in this nexus? I suppose it would make sense that some types of anomaly could support abnormal life forms.
