Scoop Number One! [voice; Japanese *now with english text translation!]

[hittheroadjack]

Wow! This thing really doesn't have holograms! That's not cool. Oh! Right, the light is on. I need to get used to this. I wonder if it translates. I haven't brushed up on my English.

Hello, out there! I was wondering if anyone could help me! Is this the afterlife? oh I hope not, that would be really lame.Also! I was wondering if uhm, there were

Sorry to tell you, but this isn't the afterlife. It's just a city full of superheroes. Even if you were dead back home, you probably aren't now.

Also, there is a translator. On for going out and one for coming in. A lot of people don't use it, though.

[Sounds of her still sniveling]
Oh! Well...I guess that's good.Maybe I can get back to Jack.

I'll have to find the button or..whatever it is. Thank you.

[He sounds -really- curious now. Oh, he heard that mutter.]

Any reason you thought it might be?

[voice: Japanese]

[hittheroadjack]

Well, I *was* blasted out a window. I was falling and falling and falling...and now I'm here.

Do you know how to get back?

[ruinqueen]

The afterlife?

[voice: Japanese]

[hittheroadjack]

Yeah. I was kinda...uh...
[she hesitates a second, she gulps, audibly. She sure does recognize that voice]
Yeah, I was falling out a very large building. Most people don't really survive. I mean, I don't remember going splat on the ground but I think most people lose consciousness before they hit the ground.

[permavoice: Japanese]

[ruinqueen]

... hmph. Well you're nothing of the kind. You were dragged to a place called the City by a machine called the porter, which seems to randomly choose candidates from across the universes wherever it feels like.

If you didn't have any extra powers before you do now; it's another of the things that the machine does. We, you see, are supposed to replace the missing police force.

[yeah, same]

[hittheroadjack]

Wait, Powers? But I don't feel that much different...I do want to kind of vomit, but I don't think I have acid puke. Gross.

Why can't they just recruit their own cops? We're cops? I don't want to be a cop. Why do I have to be a cop?!?! I just want to go back to taking pictures and uh, chasing scoops.

[Voice, English, Translated]

[pinkdoombubble]

You aren't dead, mew! You're just in The City!

[Voice, Japanese, text translation!]

[hittheroadjack]

The City! Is there any other name for it? Or do I just refer to it as the City?

[Voice, English, Translated]

[pinkdoombubble]

Just The City, I think.

[Voice, Japanese, Translated with text]

[hittheroadjack]

Wow. That's new. Oh wait. Everything is new. Well, not totally new, but at the same time TOTALLY NEW.

[voice: japanese] strikes = thoughts

[birdofsatellite]

...Carly? That girl Jack likes? It's not the afterlife. It's called the City and we're all trapped here.

(OOC: And now I head to bed. Orz.)

[voice: japanese]

[hittheroadjack]

Yeah.

[little frustrated sigh, it sounds like she's pressed a number on her phone]

Well, at least I'm not dead. But I'm missing things and augh I'm blind without my glasses. I wonder if I can attach this to my duel disk. Wait, this isn't mine! Wait...I can't return it anyway.

....Oh! Oh that light is still on.

[hittheroadjack]

I think so.

It's another UNIVERSE? ....They don't have like, space travel here do they? I really should be getting back home. I mean, if they can take us here we can SURELY get back by other means?

Who's bright idea WAS this anyway?

[hittheroadjack]

Oh, I guess...I should get used to being here.

So this uh, tag thing actually has a use other than identifying people?
