[Deep breath.]
Uh... h-- hello?

Um. Hi. I'm-- my name is Hope Estheim. [He swallows, and there's a bit of a pause.]

Someone told me that people arriving from other worlds really isn't that strange here. You-- uh, you probably get questions like this a lot, but... I'm looking for some friends. They're pretty [and for a second he sounds amused]

Comments

[voice]

[re_formed]

I haven't seen them.

Sorry.

[voice]

[elementally]

Oh. [Disappointment.]

Thanks.

[voice]

[re_formed]

As for tips-

[text]

You'll get a lot here.

[voice]

[elementally]

Thank you. I'll be sure to, uh... check it out.

[And an awkward pause.] Have you been here-- I mean, how long have you been... here?

[voice]

[re_formed]

A few months.

I think the longest people have been here is about a year. People that we know of, at least.

[voice]

[elementally]

[Wat.] Months?

That's... that's a lot longer than I thought. [He sounds worried.]

[voice]

[re_formed]

[pause]

We don't know whether time here is the same as in other worlds.

[voice]

[elementally]

Yeah. [:c]

We just have to do what we can, right? [Defy fate. He's down with that.]

[voice]

[re_formed]

Right. [He sounds a little encouraging, at least?]

Do you have any other questions?

[voice]

[elementally]

Uh, I think-- I should be okay.

[Oh!] What's your name?

[voice]

[re_formed]

Jim Standfast.

Nice to meet you.

[voice]

[elementally]

Likewise.

Thanks for your help, Jim.

[voice]

[re_formed]

Anytime.

[voice] and probably a little while later

[elementally]

Uh, Jim?

Are-- are muffins really dangerous here?

[Matt told him they could be.]

[voice]

[re_formed]

[That was unexpected] Uh...there were some drugged ones once, but...I wouldn't say so.

[voice]

[elementally]

Oh. Right. That... that would explain it, I guess.
