[A high-pitched buzzing can be heard on the Forge today, though it only lasts for a second or two. It seems the person causing the buzzing realized he ought to make it stop, and so he does.]

- Oh! Did that do it? Testing, testing!

[The person on the other end lets out a loud, "Ha!" of triumph, and when he speaks again he's unmistakably cheerful ( Read more... )

Where this is is Anatole, but when it is could be anyone's guess. Everyone was going somewhere and now we're all going nowhere rather quickly. Shame about your date, though.

[voice] doctorate December 9 2009, 01:54:31 UTC

Ah, well, a date is a date. I'd been trying to think of the best way of letting her down easy, to tell you the truth. I suppose vanishing on her will have to do in a pinch -- mostly since I haven't really got another choice at the moment.

. . . But, right! Anatole. That's a new one on me -- and that's saying something. I take it that you're not a local yourself, then?

[voice] vowing December 9 2009, 02:10:30 UTC

She's not the violent type, is she? Sometimes they get so angry when you just skip out on things. Once you explain the city and the whole 'mist might try to eat my face' thing, you might have better chances.

It's new for all of us too, actually. I'm not, and anyone you happen to talk to with your handy primitive Forge isn't either.

[voice] doctorate December 9 2009, 02:57:10 UTC

Oh, well, she can be a bit ruthless, but usually she's fair. I remember once she sent armed men after me! Ah, the memories.

-- Sorry, Forge? Is that what this thing is, then? I was content to call it a mobile.

[voice] vowing December 9 2009, 03:26:36 UTC

And I thought I had exciting stories about women.

That's what they call it. I thought it was pretty much like a mobile too, but when in Rome. They do come in handy, at least.

[voice] doctorate December 9 2009, 03:52:50 UTC

I've got plenty of stories to compete with the best of 'em, I'd like to think.

You mentioned it's a limited network, then? Only gets in touch with other people who happen to find their own little devices?

[voice] vowing December 9 2009, 19:44:10 UTC

I'll bet.

Just about as limited as they come. All of us that are here but don't belong get one; you won't find any of the locals using things like this.

[voice] doctorate December 9 2009, 21:29:09 UTC

Any idea on why it is the newcomers get to play with these little toys? Or is that just another mystery to add on to the list?

[voice] vowing December 9 2009, 21:38:59 UTC

A mystery! It's all part of your welcome package. Sort of like party favors except a lot less fun.

I was hoping for a basket of fruit, to tell you the truth, although noisemakers do have their own personal charm.

[voice] vowing December 9 2009, 22:40:23 UTC

Noisemakers might be fun. Fruit might be a little too classy. Really, I'd settle for a good cup of coffee if it came down to it.

[voice] doctorate December 9 2009, 23:19:26 UTC

Haven't been able to find a good cup, then, I take it?

[voice] vowing December 9 2009, 23:51:45 UTC

Not even a drop. The food's not bad here, but some things are definitely lacking.

[voice] doctorate December 10 2009, 01:16:38 UTC

They've got tea, at least, yeah?

[voice] vowing December 10 2009, 02:47:53 UTC

Yes, but-- your standards aren't too high, are they?

[voice] doctorate December 10 2009, 02:54:51 UTC

[with marked wariness] What do you mean by that?
