[ If you're wondering why the first thing you hear on the other end of the line is a weird, scratchy feedback, it's because the guy you're talking to is an illiterate cowboy from 1911, and barely knows how phones work in his own time period. ]

Hello?! He-... shhhhhhit!

[ There's a bit of scuffle on the other end as John flips the receiver around,

[Zevran is becoming almost accustomed to the new arrivals to Mayfield and their various colorful ways of dealing with their new situations. There's no special reason why he chooses this one to respond to; maybe it's the accent. Men with awesome accents need to stick together, after all.] I am going to hazard a wild guess and assume you've just arrived?

hahaha awesome accents indeed

[realhotinhell]

[ John stops for a sec because holy shit you guys someone's talking back to him through this contraption. ] No, I just like hollerin' at folks for no reason sometimes.

[ Well actually yes, but that's beside the point. ] Yeah, I just got here. You know who I gotta find to get out?

[rogue_crow]

You would hardly be the first I've met with that hobby.

No one has managed to get out yet that I know of, unfortunately. Though there are any number of people trying, myself included.

[realhotinhell]

I'm already lookin' forward to meetin' the locals. [ Sarcasm, as it turns out, is not below John. ]

... so you don't got the answer to my question.
Fine. Can ya tell me where I am, now that we settled gettin' out of wherever that is ain't easy?

[rogue_crow]

You're making a wonderful start of it. [Yeah, it's not below Zevran either, though he sounds more genuinely amused in his use of it.]

A city called Mayfield. Oh, that reminds me - don't drink the milk! I am not certain what happens if you do, but the warnings against it are so universal that one assumes it is distinctly unpleasant.

[realhotinhell]

Yeah. I can see that. [ Just flat and unamused cowboy on his end, because John is boring and grumpy. ]

Mayfield? That ain't nowhere around New Austin, is it? [ Sure as hell doesn't sound Mexican, but maybe it was a little place he overlooked. ]

... so out of all the things that could kill me, I gotta keep an eye on the milk.

[rogue_crow]

Never heard of it. Many people here have been pulled from different worlds, and mine bears very few similarities to this one.

Well, unless you fear it is going to suddenly jump down your throat, you can probably turn your attention to the more active threats.

[realhotinhell]

... Different worlds. Right. Course.

Given everything that could kill a man, warnin' him against milk seems a bit strange.

[rogue_crow]

It seems to be customary here. That and welcoming people extremely ironically. Far be it from me to break tradition.

[realhotinhell]

Quite the customs y'all got around here.
Milk aside, ya mentioned somethin' about people tryin' to get out of here?

[rogue_crow]

Not my customs, certainly, but one may as well abide by them.

Most people who have something better to go back to than here, yes.

[realhotinhell]

Makes sense.

From the looks of this place, I would imagine they do. Gimmie back the West any day.
I don't got much to go back to at the moment, but I gotta get home anyhow.
