chapter o1. § [audio]

[There's fumbling noises for a while; someone getting adjusted to a new device. It's different than his last one. A wristwatch, really? That just... that sits at a really uncomfortable place.]

So what exactly is this place supposed to be? Last time I looked outside, it didn't look anything like this. And I'm pretty sure the door was still locked ( Read more... )

I don't think any of us knows what this place is, either, except from what we've been told. The facts about the town and the world outside seem to be true, but as for the rest...we really don't know.

voice escapedpandora December 9 2010, 05:12:21 UTC

A world that destroyed by war? So at least that much is true... that doesn't say anything good for this world, though.

voice spacesalmon December 9 2010, 06:17:11 UTC

I suppose it doesn't. Still, if you look on the bright side...this world is still alive, no matter how poisoned it is. That's one good thing, isn't it?

Re: voice escapedpandora December 9 2010, 06:27:31 UTC

Guess so. Still, pulling people from other places isn't the nicest thing.

[He's not going to even allow the thought that this place might actually be where he came from.]

voice spacesalmon December 9 2010, 06:37:11 UTC

I won't disagree with that, although it could also be true that we've been here all along. It's not a very palatable thought, but the locals seem very, ah, sincere, in how they view us, if that's anything to go by.

[He still wonders every day about whether he partially caused this state of affairs or not. Optimistic pessimism.]

voice escapedpandora December 9 2010, 06:51:10 UTC

[He's quiet for a moment.]

Last time... we just didn't know why we were taken, but this place seems to have more of a reason if they supposedly lost that many people in their war.

Still. I want to go home.

voice spacesalmon December 9 2010, 07:04:56 UTC

Oh! I-I'm sure there'll be a way, eventually! We all want to go back, and there has to be a way when everybody pulls together! I'm sorry if I said something depressing again, it's just a bad habit---please, cheer up?

[He's taken aback for a moment-- usually, he's just told to either chin up or man up, but--]

voice escapedpandora December 9 2010, 07:10:59 UTC

It's not your fault. I'm sure things... things might work out. You didn't say anything depressing.

Sorry, it's just-- I guess I'm not really happy about being dragged into a new place.

voice spacesalmon December 9 2010, 07:25:33 UTC

Really...? That's a relief. I'm glad I didn't make it any worse for you, especially since that seems to be the case more often, lately.

Is all of this new to you? Ah, that's right, you mentioned a 'last time'...has this sort of thing happened before?

voice escapedpandora December 9 2010, 07:35:47 UTC

Hmm, yeah, once. I kind of... woke up in a different place and couldn't figure out a way home. I still hadn't, really. I guess I woke up in a different place again.

...I'm Hope, by the way.

voice spacesalmon December 9 2010, 08:43:27 UTC

Hope? That's a very nice name. Mine is Seth, it's a pleasure to meet you.

I'm sorry to hear that about your circumstances, though. Once is terrible enough for me, but maybe the next time this happens, you'll wake up where your home is.

voice escapedpandora December 9 2010, 08:49:57 UTC

It's nice to meet you, too.

[He takes a breath.]

Yeah, sorry about that. I was just... I don't know, I guess I figured if I ever managed to get out of the house, I'd be headed home. And I didn't expect to just... wake up somewhere else. Didn't get to say goodbye to anyone.

[Oh, man, his roommate would be so pissed.]

voice spacesalmon December 9 2010, 09:06:54 UTC

If they've also been through something similar, I'm sure they'll understand. Maybe you'll meet some of them here again, who knows?

voice escapedpandora December 9 2010, 19:58:02 UTC

A world torn by war, though? ...I hope they don't end up here. Everything's dark here.

voice spacesalmon December 9 2010, 21:25:29 UTC

[Oh. That was what he also thought on his first day, but ever since knowing that people can end up from different times, he'd start to----but that would be another insensitive thing to say, wouldn't it?]

I'm sorry---I haven't thought that one through. You're right. It'd be selfish to wish this world on others, just because you want to see them again.

Still, it's not completely terrible here. Have you made it to the hostel? It might help to be near others like us, when you're trying to get your bearings.
