One shot | Network/phone post

[There is some fumbling around as the owner of the phone is mucking with the buttons. There is a bit of voice heard, but no visual.]

Ah, now would you look at this archaic old thingamajig. Is it supposed to be a computer? Perhaps a phone... Oh bother- I think the fucking thing is on.

[Abruptly it cuts off there before the post resumed this time

[Tris is staring at the phone, slightly amused.] You're far from the only one who feels that way. Nobody here is where or when they're supposed to be, I'm afraid. Welcome to the Manor. I'm Trisana Chandler- call me Tris.

I'm sure you have questions, so ask away.

[Oh, so there is a video function here how curious. It takes a few minutes but he figures it out. Have the visage of someone way too young to talk like that.]

And so sentient life does exist! Goodness it just tickles me to see so many actual people wandering around this place.

Hello Tris! I'm Jake! Jake English, and you can call me anything that suits your fancy.

And I suppose I'll start with something basic like "how did I get here?".

This is going to sound quite mad, but this place is under the power of a seemingly-omnipotent teenaged girl called 'the Author'. So, like as not, you're here because she decided she wanted you in her story...

...and it really is a rather terrible one.

Oh. Alrighty then.

Its not as if I can really deny your claim when I'm here right now so I will certainly take your word for it.

dude you talk kind of funny.
but you're in the manor! still haven't figured out exactly where it is, but since it's cold and snows in december it's probably somewhere with similar weather patterns to washington!

Re: text!

[goodboybestshot]

I admit that my vernacular is somewhat antiquated in comparison to all you upbeat cool kids out there. Im certain its because ive lived on an island my whole life.

But washington? Really? Are you from washington?

[goodboybestshot]

Oh of course. The ever elusive and ironic strider. Such a prickly specimen of cool that its near vicinity sends you into confounded indignation. Handle with the utmost care and patience!

Your sister you say? Holy kicking christ are you john??
