*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!))

1962?

mind_over_metal July 13 2011, 04:37:56 UTC

That's the year that I'm from. About fifty years before here, which is... fascinating.

diclolius July 13 2011, 04:41:19 UTC

Oh.

Do they have a different numbering there? I heard people say the year here is 2011.

mind_over_metal July 13 2011, 06:22:02 UTC

And they're right. Well, hopefully, they're right. But I came from a different time. I'm pretty sure that the numbering is same, I just... traveled, unexpectedly and remarkably quickly.

diclolius July 13 2011, 06:31:02 UTC

Is traveling like that common?

[yes. someone has never even heard of the concept of time travel. she is sheltered.]

mind_over_metal July 13 2011, 08:12:37 UTC

Only going forward, one second at a time. Big leaps are very odd, practically unheard of, at least where I'm from.

diclolius July 13 2011, 17:05:06 UTC

Wow . . .

Um. Are you one of the new counselors?

mind_over_metal July 13 2011, 18:53:26 UTC

That seems to be the case.

*leans forward toward her a bit, curious and friendly*

I'm Charles Xavier. What's your name, dear?

diclolius July 13 2011, 18:55:06 UTC

My name is Nana. It's nice yo meet you, Charles-san.

mind_over_metal July 14 2011, 04:43:14 UTC

A pleasure to meet you as well, Nana. Have you been here for long?

diclolius July 14 2011, 04:59:35 UTC

It feels long, but not as long as some people.

mind_over_metal July 14 2011, 17:41:24 UTC

Do you know what the longest anyone has been here is?

diclolius July 14 2011, 20:25:32 UTC

Not exactly, but I heard at least a few years.

mind_over_metal July 15 2011, 04:05:01 UTC

That is a long time to be away from home. But people have been taking care of you here, Nana?

diclolius July 15 2011, 04:09:59 UTC

Ah, I've been taking care of myself. I'm still waiting for my Papa to come get me.

[boy, does she miss him. if thoughts have volume, then her thoughts have just gone way up and are flitting about haphazardly as she thinks about him. Want details?]

mind_over_metal July 15 2011, 18:23:00 UTC

*whoa, that was something big there. cautiously turning his mind to look a little closer, ready to look away again if things get too uncomfortably personal*

But you have friends here for while you're waiting, don't you?
