Nope! Nothing makes sense here, nothing at all!

And then he turns.
...
Oh. Oh okay. He's gone crazy or someone put hallucinogens in his drink. Alright. Because it looks like he's talking to a cartoon.
Which is insane.
He'll question his faltering grip on lucidity later]
Who... what are...

Absolutely NOT.
[HE IS SITTING ON THE GROUND. NO MAGIC MYSTERIOUS HAMMER SPACE CHAIRS NO OH GOD.]
I must have hit my head... Or perhaps the after effects of poison. Or maybe I've just finally gone mad....
This is not happening. I'm not here, it's a hallucination. I get it. It's the only thing that makes sense right now.
[Unlike you, Dot, who is now on the receiving end of a very suspicious glare]
Though from where in my apparent deluded fantasies you showed up is beyond me.

[ Hang on, she might be getting over that you're a cat. The sign said there'd be talking animals, but...cat. ]

[Yeah let him just get over whatever the hell you are first, Rapunzel. WHERE IS YOUR FUR. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU. You look like an amputee victim to the cat D8]

Human?

... Human.
... I'm half tempted to believe you made that name up. [But whatever] But that is beside the point at the moment.
I would like to know where I am. And a way to get back to Saint Louis. Immediately.

Still, talking bricks are pretty fucking surprising, Elias. CLACK.
Yes. He just dropped it, and yes, that was a cuss word in Yiddish, because this is turning out to be a REALLY SHITTY DAY]
... Talking bricks now. Fantastic. Wonderful. When this apparent horrible drug trip is over, I am going to see to it that whoever sold me this tea fully understands the consequences for selling laced products.

...ohhh. No. You would mean this, wouldn't you? This is -- oh shoot, where is that button..
[There's some muttering and random sounds on the other end as Elias tries to convert the call to video.]
Troublesome, dratted, malfunctioning -- er -- thing... No, this would be a, uh, a video phone of sorts. It's a bit more advanced than the ones back home.
Reply
... Nah. Curiosity wins, and he... does not look nor sound convinced about that phone thing.]
A phone.
[Well, it's acting like a phone]
A phone without wires, a dial nor an obvious receiver.
[... It's slightly more easy to believe than a magic goddamn box though.

OH a newcomer! That's wonderful! Welcome to Ink City whoever you are <3<3<3
[Be glad that this isn't video, or you would have been assaulted by a horrific amount of pink.]

Right now it just sounds like he's hissing at it.]
No, it is not wonderful!
[Calm. Calllm. A long suffering sigh escapes]
... How far away is Saint Louis from here, and where is the nearest train station?
Reply
Saint Louis? Well I'd say as far away as you could possibly be! There aren't any train stations around here, but you're welcome to look.

Do you mind making that a bit less vague and translating that to miles for me, by any chance?
