[Almost inaudibly]

Shit.

[Long pause.]

O-kaaay… Not in Kansas anymore. Look, if I’m dead, Clyde Bruckman? You owe me an apology.

So, working on the assumption that I’m not… Is anyone out there?

I could use a hand here.

You're new here, I take it? Either way, this place isn't the afterlife or Kansas. It's the City, a connection point between worlds, you could say.

[Voice]

[call_me_spooky]

A connection point between worlds? You've gotta be kidding.

Re: [Voice]

[monochrome_mind]

No joke. Take it for what you will, but this city and the entities who run it, bring people from different dimensions and worlds here.

If you would like it, there's a guide that explains everything in detail. It's a useful read for first-time visitors.

[Voice]

[call_me_spooky]

...Wow. Cool.

That'd be a big help, Mister, uh..? Sorry, showing up in an alternate dimension always makes me forget my manners. I'm Fox Mulder, with the FBI.

[have a bright smile directed at the screen and vigorous waving - yes, there is somebody out there]

[Voice]

[call_me_spooky]

Well, hi there.

[dreamsofnoah]

Hello~.

[Voice]

[call_me_spooky]

How's it going? What's a friendly person like you doing in a multidimensional headache like this?

Voice;

[of_hymns]

There are others here in the City. It's a fairly large place to begin with.

What help do you need?

[Voice]

[call_me_spooky]

Well, that's good to know. Telling me which City this is would be a good start? And, if possible, how come I'm here and not in D.C.?

[Voice]

[of_hymns]

Unfortunately, that is which City it is. There isn't any way of knowing where it is or what country it's on. Everyone simply calls it the City. As for your other question, quite a few of us have been asking the same of ourselves.

[Voice]

[call_me_spooky]

Weird. Very Twilight Zone. So people just show up here and can't get out?

[voice]

[passionforshoes]

Nope, not Kansas. Not a cow in sight.

[Voice]

[call_me_spooky]

Well, that's comforting. Kinda. I've had some bad experiences with cows in Kansas.

But at least then I'd know how to get home. I'm not.. even sure how I got here.

[Voice]

[passionforshoes]

The only things cows are good for are steak, designer shoes, and jumping over the moon.

Probably took a right when you should have taken a left.

[Voice]

[call_me_spooky]

Well, the evidence says that plenty of beings in the universe disagree, but I'm on your side. Last time I was in Kansas a cow almost killed me.

I knew my sense of direction was going to get me in trouble eventually.

[halfvulcan]

Kansas seems... quite popular. You are indeed no longer there, and most likely not dead if you are not yet aware of it. You have been transported through unknown means to a dimension entirely separate from your own. It appears to be known simply as "the City."

sooo i hope you're not too attached to that 4th wall of yours? >_>

[call_me_spooky]

I wasn't originally in Kansas. I haven't been there in a while, actually. You've never seen The Wizard of Oz?

Alternate dimensions... Oh, man. So, um. How do I get home?

nope, have at it :)

[halfvulcan]

I have not. Many old Earth art forms are appealing, but I do not enjoy its "movies."

There is no known uniform way to escape, yet. People are able to come and go on an entirely personal basis, and largely not of their own volition.

sweet. Mulder loves him some Star Trek. :D :D

[call_me_spooky]

....'old Earth art forms?'

Oh, great. Ten bucks says this'll get me fired, I doubt "I got caught in an alternate dimension" is gonna fly with the FBI.

[ooc: yes. XD This can only lead to AWESOME.]
