[Barnaby pops on screen, face fairly devoid of emotion. This is just a business call, of course.] Excuse me. I had two questions, if anyone could provide answers or helpful information ( Read more... )

[She's happily in your post, reading your filters and loving how you've just made yourself a target for her to spring on so she can gather information on Mr. Petrov. So, she'll give you information in return.]

The BREW is a magical device that is indestructible, and it is actively bringing and sending people away until the war that we are currently fighting is over. Only then will the wish that activated it be considered granted, and the second wish will then active it again, that second wish being 'send all these people from different worlds home'.

As for time lines, BREW takes people from and where it chooses. You will have people who know of endeavours you have never done, and there are others that may not even know you for they haven't lived what you have.

[Yay, unknowingly helping each other out!]

So it will only send everyone to their proper worlds once the war is done? [...well, that's...]

This BREW device is a lot more demanding than I thought.

Technically speaking, yes. However, BREW does send people back to their worlds from time-to-time. Death is a good way to be sent home, but there is no telling what state you arrive back in.

It is a pain. Are you with other people from your world?

Death...? As in dying here?

[That just sounds like a horrible plan and way to 'go'.]

Yes. And, unfortunately, it doesn't look as if we're all from the same point in time.

Death works both ways I'm afraid. You can die here, and you are sent back to wherever you came from. Also beware, the dead can haunt your steps even here.

[She'd rub her hands together if she wasn't using them to hold the communicator.]

That's a pity. I do a running tally on who is from what world. Do you have names and a world name so I can add you and your comrades to the list?

That's... not something I was expecting at all. But I'll be sure to be careful.

[After all, death... oh god the flashbacks-- oh wait she's asking a question.]

I'm Barnaby Brooks, Jr. The other two from my world are Wild Tiger and Yuri Petrov.

That's good. Awareness of your surroundings and the network is important in case new people you know appear.

[And the stalking begins]

It's nice to meet you, Barnaby. I'm Sarah Kerrigan. [A pause as she writes names down] Oh, you know Mr. Petrov. He's such a hard worker. What does he do in your world?

It's good for catching relevant information as well. I think it's better to be overly informed than left in the dark.

Nice to meet you, Miss Kerrigan. [He nods.] He's actually a judge under the administration of justice in our world, and he presides over some of the cases revolving around the heroes.

Yes, that is very true. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh, a judge? No wonder he's so good with his paperwork. He just recently joined the Watch, which I'm apart of, so I was wondering about him. He's so quiet at his desk, so I thought he might be nervous around women.

Thank you. And likewise; I may not be of much help now but I plan on correcting that as fast as possible.

You're part of the Watch? Ah... Well, I'm not sure if it's nerves, but he's always struck me as a fairly reserved person.

Reply

[Voice | Private] ghostofaqueen January 30 2012, 06:34:13 UTC
Certainly, though I pride myself on knowing relevant, interesting topics.

Yes, I've been in it for awhile. Planning on joining? Reserved? I don't know about that, since every time I approach him, he gets me the stink eye.

[Voice | Private] luckyfooted January 30 2012, 06:46:20 UTC
Interesting topics?

I'm planning on joining, actually. It sounds quite similar to the job I held back in Stern Bild.

Does he? That's... odd. I've never seen him angry... Have you tried asking him directly? He may give a straightforward answer.

Reply

[Voice | Private] ghostofaqueen January 30 2012, 06:48:42 UTC
You name it, and I'll see about getting you information on it.

Well, that's good. The Watch is always recruiting new members, so that's good. What did you do back in Stern Bild?

Well, I thought he might be gay, so I haven't. Awkward subject to bring up at work.

[Voice | Private] luckyfooted January 30 2012, 07:00:42 UTC
So just about anything and everything? Interesting.

I was a hero. Protecting citizens, catching criminals, appealing to our sponsors and fans... It was a fairly nonstop job, that's for sure.

...[Wut.] Yeah, I would... assume so. [Something Barnaby would probably never want to know.]

[Voice | Private] ghostofaqueen January 30 2012, 07:05:22 UTC
I have my ways of finding things out, that's all.

Oh, a hero? That's an interesting occupation. What makes you a hero beyond someone else in your world?

[A small pause.] You assume so? As in he's gay or I shouldn't ask?

Reply

[Voice | Private] luckyfooted January 30 2012, 07:09:29 UTC
Your 'ways'?

The heroes in my world are people known as NEXT. We all have a supernatural ability that we can use to our advantage. Not all NEXTs are heroes, though; some of the criminals we fight are also NEXT, as are some ordinary citizens.

[LINE FACING.] That it's an awkward question to ask of a coworker. Whatever his sexual orientation, I don't think that's anyone's business but his own.
