[Simon decides to type a message on the strange device, not wanting to give away his face or voice until he finds out whether or not there are any authorities on this planet that might want to turn him in, both as a fugitive from the Alliance and now as a member of the crew that helped expose the secret of Miranda to the whole 'verse

There aren't any spaceships here, I'm sorry to say. This is Anatole. I don't know about headaches, but the Mist is definitely something best avoided.

[A link appears.]

That document has quite a lot of information about the place. Nothing about a way out, unfortunately.

Re: [text]

[theprettyfits]

Ah. Thank you.

[Simon takes a moment to read.]

...This is very, very disquieting.

And it seems that it's all true. I can vouch for some of it myself.

[He knows the things can be used for messages but he thinks it's so much easier just to speak words than figure out all the little buttons- which he'll get to eventually, just not now.

So hello Simon, the blond greets you with a smile- and thankfully at arms-length that you can see more than just a bright green eye.]

That's probably to do with coming through the Door, a sort of after effect from being pulled over here from our worlds, as I've come to understand, anyway. It should go away after a while.

But welcome to Anatole!

The mist...is complicated to explain- I'm not sure I can do it justice since I've only been told so much, myself.

I hit my head on a door before I came here. Is that what you mean?

[bound_by_this]

Mmm...no. Not quite. I mean more as to when you first arrived. In the city, not the room.

[Simon switches to voice now, having been convinced that the Alliance is far away from Anatole.]

Hello, this is Simon. You've been trying to answer some of my questions about Anatole. I was a doctor on a spaceship called Serenity, where I lived with a crew and my sister River. I really want to get back to them, but-

[There is a note of sadness in Simon's voice.]

-people are telling me that just isn't possible. As for this door, you spoke of it as though it were a very specific, important door. Clearly not the one I was thinking of, which I guess I knew, really. I just was hoping maybe I was wrong about something having pulled me here.

My head's been feeling funny for a while, though.

I have not heard of that class of ship, but, unlike, lie-kuh, most people here, I come from a world where interstellar travel is common. Before I was on Earth, I was stay, stationed on a Dome ship, which I suspect mean-zuh as little to you as fy, fie-err-fly does to me.

The miss-tuh affects different people differently, lee. The only constant appears to be that it is unsettling-ing.

[Simon switches to video.]

Hello, this is Simon. I'm glad I've met someone else here who's familiar with ships. I've never heard of a Dome ship, so I am guessing we come from different worlds, but at least we have something in common.

This mist is very unsettling to me. I'm not used to having visions like this.

Sigh, Si-mon, it is nice to meet you. I am Aximili, but people call me Ax.

The mist chay, changed the way my abilities work, but it did not fundamentally, menn-tah-lee, alter them, though I have observed this to be the case with others.

[Simon notes Ax's peculiar way of speaking and his unusual name.]

You said you had ships where you're from. What kind of place is that, exactly?

What abilities did you have before?
