-Eh? The little light has come on and it says it's recording, how interesting. What a place, quite unlike any I've seen. It doesn't look like a lost memory of a place from just beyond, does it? Interesting! It shouldn't be too bad that I've been caught here away from everyone, even if I was just in my home. Funny, really, isn't it?

[a pause,

Comments

I haven't heard of anyone by that surname, but the City is quite large---he could be here.

Erm...

If he is, I hope that you find him soon...

[ pause...he is trying to find the guide to send...trying and failing... ]

[ofmisfortune]

[the little bit of laughter hits again, but it's shortened this time]

And there's quite a few people here! In the thousands, I see. But there are probably rabbits here, just not the ones we're looking for.

It's all right if you haven't seen any ... It's hardly your fault.

[iseemore]

Most things seem to be my fault...and he did say it's not a case of an Evil Fate but I can't think of any other explanation for the terrifically bad luck---

Lots of people, and not-people. You'll get an even better idea, the longer you're here.

[ pause.... ]

What is your brother's name, if you don't mind me asking? That way...I mean, I suppose the surname is distinctive enough, but...if someone was to mention it, just first or last...it could be helpful...I think.

audio;

[ofmisfortune]

Gilbert! His name is Gilbert. It could be helpful, because he might not think to give the whole name.

audio;

[iseemore]

Or he might give a false name...I don't think it's only me and Christopher who....well, our first names are true at least...

I'll keep an ear open for it! I haven't heard of anyone named Gilbert so far. I can ask some of the people I've met here who have been here longer though.

[ofmisfortune]

I should hope that he would comment here if these devices are public, but it's possible he hasn't worked it out, either!

[iseemore]

[curiouser and curiouser 83....]

You have nothing similar to this sort of technology in your world, then?

audio;

[ofmisfortune]

Of course not! Everything here is very different.

audio;

[iseemore]

[ ALITTLE miffed at 'of course not' because that's why he asked but trying not to sound miffed....maybe failing a little ]

That's the one thing everyone seems to agree on, for one reason or another.

audio;

[ofmisfortune]

Are you upset?

audio;

[iseemore]

[ fff sigh that in person would equate to a shrug and the awkward rubbing of the back of his head because bother...bother...]

Not really.

[ And, he isn't..really, just you know, a little.]

audio;

[ofmisfortune]

Good! I wouldn't want that, after all.

audio;

[iseemore]

I'd hope not...

...did you find your way out of the gardens yet?

audio;

[ofmisfortune]

I've been talking to you, but I suppose I should start walking.

audio;

[iseemore]

Oh...

[ pause of oops...and orz and derp ]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to keep you from finding your way. That is something you'd need to concentrate for, having just arrived.

I hope that if your brother is here you find him soon, Mr. Nightlay.

audio;

[ofmisfortune]

You needn't apologize! I wouldn't be moving any faster if I were without help. I can move now and talk, though.

[there's a pause, as Vincent purposefully scuffs his boots against the ground to indicate that he's moving]
