Oh goodness, where to start...

[stephen_owling]

I believe I've been filled in on the basics already, but a bit more clarification couldn't hurt. We're in America? In... the 1950s?

[hop_toit_udonge]

Something meant to resemble it, at least. Our actual location and time is completely unknown.

[stephen_owling]

I suppose the fact that this place defies every law of reality I know of shouldn't be surprising to me, but I'm afraid it is.

[hop_toit_udonge]

It's likely to grow worse.

[stephen_owling]

Not exactly what I wanted to hear.

[hop_toit_udonge]

People usually don't want to hear the truth, yes.

[stephen_owling]

Can you blame me? Being told that you've been kidnapped and trapped in some sort of 1950's America knockoff isn't something that anyone wants to hear.

[hop_toit_udonge]

Well as a doctor, I'm used to telling people things they don't want to hear.

[stephen_owling]

And I appreciate it, really. But perhaps you could tell me something I would like to hear? How to escape, for example.

[hop_toit_udonge]

If there was anything like that, I would have told you already.

[stephen_owling]

Mmm. I figured as much.

My name's Nagi. May I ask yours?

[hop_toit_udonge]

Dr. Eirin Yagokoro.

[stephen_owling]

Thank you for the information then, Dr. Yagokoro.

[hop_toit_udonge]

You're quite welcome, Nagi-san.
