first paradox // audio (day)

[merrilychased]

[After spending quite some time sifting through the network, investigating as thoroughly as he can and puzzling over the results, Arthur so far has only one thing to ask the Promenadian public.]

What kind of a name for a city is Promenade?

[filtered to Ariadne and Eames]Ariadne, Eames. I can see you're both here already, so would one of you mind

[Kelly's frowning slightly, wondering if he's recognising that voice accurately.]

Arthur, isn't it? I was wondering if you'd ever come back.

[Arthur's brow furrows before he can think to better control his expression.] I don't believe we've met.

Right, you don't remember. That happens sometimes.

You were here about six or seven months back. My name's Kelly Bridge. We were acquaintances.

[He doesn't remember?]

... Right. [He'd better just play along for now.] Sorry about that.

It's some sort of dream. What I don't get is that I'm dead back home. So how does a dead man dream?

[merrilychased]

[Dead. Huh.]

Seems to me like the people here would have you think that was the dream, instead.

Except you can't die in dreams. You wake up. I remember dying. I remember taking my last breath. [It's not really making his point, but it's better than saying magic doesn't work on supernaturals. Not that he's hiding it. At all.]
