It's only your fault if you're the one who uploaded the faulty code that disabled all the other options on these devices, which I doubt you were so.

Calm down.

[mytechendsworld]

It does work! Sort of.

The what? Who are you? Where am I? This can't be Los Angeles--there's no rioting, looting or traffic!

I'm not calming down! You calm down! You probably kidnapped me! Is this about Tuscon? Cause that wasn't my idea!!!

[morteanimositas]

Sort of. It's a bit broken at the moment.

When I got here a few days ago I was told the following:

1. This place is called Adstringendum
2. It's the site of a failed experiment involving alternate universes
3. There is a clinic [here] where new comers are welcome to go

So now you know just about as much as I do about all this, and I have no idea what you're talking about in regards to Tuscon.

Besides which, I am physically incapable of kidnapping anyone.

It told me video is down.

1. Adstringendum--is that supposed to be Latin? Are you fraking kidding me? wtf?

2. ...yeah pull the other one, Terrorist-flunky.

3. I'm not going anywhere unless it's with Adelle Dewitt or Echo.

...nevermind about Tuscon.

What does that mean, anyone can kidnap someone. Get a gun, smack them on the head, bam done.

[mytechendsworld]

...Is that some kind of weird textual hitting on?!

Huh. The terrorists are gay. Did not see that one coming.

[text] loools

[citta_samtana]

Oh for god sake, Topher. There's such a thing as lady terrorists.

HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?!

[Text]

[bloodseal_soul]

Of course it's not your fault, it's not the fault of anyone who ends up here.

What's your name? I'm Al.

[Text] hey there o/

[mytechendsworld]

That's what I say! But you never know people always blame the programmers even when it's not their tech that's screwing up.

Topher Brink. Al's a nice normal sounding non-terroristy name. I think.

[Text] o sup

[bloodseal_soul]

I guess people like to have someone to blame. It's a shame.

Well, I never have heard of a terrorist named Al.

[Text] nada much, chilling. you?

[mytechendsworld]

They should just Blame Canada.

Me either. So you must be one of the kidnapped?

Then again I've never thought kidnappers would give their victim a way to communicate with the outside world so I'm kinda...lost here.

Starches?

[Text]

[mytechendsworld]

Inappropriate ones are preferable.

[Text]

[other_sights]

What sort of starch is an inappropriate starch?

[Text]

[mytechendsworld]

Ah..potato chips, pasta, salted nuts--anything made by Frito-Lay basically.

Seriously? You're asking me this in the middle of what looks like a warzone?

[genius_james]

Just calm down already.

What do you need starches for?

[mytechendsworld]

Why does everyone keep saying that?! There's collapsed buildings all around me and I don't know how I got here! If this isn't the time for panic then what is?

...Hunger? Being kidnapped works up an appetite.
