*suddenly in camp, a young man in a wheelchair making an off-handed comment -- almost as if he had been talking to someone -- in a rather posh British accent*

So... not 1962, then...

((ETA @ 4:45AM EST: HOLY SHIT I'M GOING TO BED will pick up old and new threads over the course of the coming days!))

[You look like the older version of--]

The calendar here is strange.

[mind_over_metal]

As opposed to where?

[runstowardsfire]

Back at home. There's only twelve months here and each week has only seven days.

[mind_over_metal]

I see. What's your home called?

[runstowardsfire]

The Discworld. And it's not a sphere like this one.

*examining your wheelchair* Have you been injured for very long?

[mind_over_metal]

...a couple weeks.

*follows her glances to his chair*

This probably won't be the most convenient thing around here, but better with it than without it. Though on the subject: are there any medical facilities or professionals around here?

[runstowardsfire]

Yes--there's a hospital. *gestures in the general direction* There are doctors there with some experience according to one of the student doctors. And possibly some with experience from other places.

Follow the more worn paths--they're usually the shortest.

[mind_over_metal]

Thank you, dear.

Are there any paths in particular that I should avoid?

[runstowardsfire]

Tiffany.

Don't go near the silo.

[mind_over_metal]

*nods in acknowledgment*

Tiffany. I'm Charles.

And what exactly is in the silo?

[runstowardsfire]

The monstrous squid.

Though it's probably not as bad as the mistletoe this month.

[mind_over_metal]

I'll do my best to stay out of the way of both.

[runstowardsfire]

It's best to be very careful around here.

It's not your time either, I take it?

[mind_over_metal]

I'm from about fifty years in the past. The same planet, same country, though.

What other things should one be careful of?

[runstowardsfire]

There are all kinds of people here. Even gods and demons. Not all of them are nice.

[mind_over_metal]

Gods?
