I've tried everything. Every trick to see if I'm dreaming, stoned or whatever -- Either I've finally gone out of my mind, or I'm not in Kansas City anymore.
[ He huffs a laugh, pressing a wad of white something as a makeshift bandage against his palm and it's quickly staining red. This certainly wouldn't have been the first time Castiel has woken up ( Read more... )

Certainly… though may I recommend I do so at the Clinic, where your hand can be seen to? I can send you directions or come to meet you.

[He definitely noticed the scarring and after realizing there's really no recovering after a reaction like that, he just... goes with it.]
...I don't mean to get us off on the wrong foot but, uh... old shaving accident?

Something like that.
It's up to you. For new arrivals, treatment would be free of charge.
Do you prefer explanations in verbal or written form?

Free? Yeah, okay. Where is this place?
[But as far as an explanation:] Writing will probably take too long, I don't plan on sticking around.

[Vague confusion mixed with apathy is plain on his face.] You're in Anatole. What did you do to your hand?
Reply
[Can't you tell? His face is about as baby smooth as a Brillo pad.]
...Where exactly is Anatole?

[Of lying, at any rate.] I have no idea. I hate to drill people on the particulars, but suffice it to stay you're stuck here until further notice.
[and a grudging pause and sigh, absently running his hand through his hair-- it's not as though he has anything better to do, thankfully] You'll need help with that, won't you?

[Sarcasm is lying for amusement value, and lying is just plain old deception. Totally different! But getting back to that important part about being stuck here...]
Yeah, uh... that's not gonna happen. I mean, I can't stay here.

[A brief pause as he studies the screen.]
You should probably get that looked at.
[He's also pretty sure being high wouldn't even begin to explain this place.]

It's good though; I heard there's a free clinic somewhere.
So where's Anatole? I'm... kinda in a hurry to get back.

No one seems to be quite sure. The Door brings you here and as far as I've surmised, there's no way to return home. I've been here over nine months myself.

That's the second time I've heard some door referred to with some significance. Care to go into a little detail regarding this thing?

I understand it is an alarming transition, sir, but I regret to say harming yourself will not change the situation.
[Kansas City, eh?]
You're American, then?
[That's more than Sebastian can say about others he's met in Anatole. Although he has also found those that might be from his world usually seem to be from at least a century into his future. He himself has the accent and inflection of a posh British gentleman.]
Reply
[Although he certainly sounds American.]
I'm guessing you're not from around here.
Reply
[Still, that's not the farthest into the future he's heard about. One of the tenants in his master's house is from 2057. Or at least a 2057.]
Oh, no sir, I am not. Everyone with access to a Forge is from a different world originally. Ah - the Forge is what these communication devices are called.

...Oh. Okay.
[He's not like most people.]

[He's used to worse, but hey -- free medical treatment is a good deal and means he can hang onto his own gear for a little longer.]
Where the hell is Anatole?

Do you, uh... know what's up with this mist I keep hearing about?
