You know what people are supposed to say when they wake up in some ass-backwards location with no fucking clue where they are? I’m sure it has something to do with asking if this is a kidnapping, but it doesn’t seem like I’m the only one here, does it? At least according to, [ he stops for a moment, as if he's listening to something ] the

You're concerned by the thought invested?

A rarity.

[homomachinis]

What can I say? It seems sketchy. Something with this kind of capability is pretty fucking big.

[enigmaestro]

It's almost like you have experience with the idea.

[homomachinis]

Not really, I just read a lot of comic books as a kid. It's a common theme.

[axemeaquestion]

I think a rational, sane person would just freak out. Then again, I think my perception of normal's gotten pretty messed up.

[OHHH but she can tell this person is trying. Poor guy. Gentler this time:]

And I know this is one of the stupider questions to ask somebody who just got here, but are you okay? Physically, I mean.

[homomachinis]

[ he kind of shrugs at the camera, and scratches the left side of his face awkwardly. The side with all of the crap on it. ]

Yeah, I think so. No missing body parts, or anything gross like that.

[video]

[axemeaquestion]

[Oh hello, that crap. What's uuuuuuuuuuuuup with that.]

Well, that's something. I can't imagine being okay about this otherwise, I sure as hell wasn't either, but on the plus side? You're not outside in the middle of the night here getting your arm chewed on.

[video]

[homomachinis]

[ oh you know, nothing big. Just a physical deformity. ]

Yeah, someone told me that was bad. I think I'll stay indoors if possible.

[regeneratesalot]

I don't think anybody knows.

[homomachinis]

That's what I keep hearing. Jesus Christ, you'd think someone would teleport, or or or--

Are there people who can teleport?

Re: voice

[regeneratesalot]

Yeah. I don't know if any newcomers can, but it's possible.

It wouldn't let us off the island, though. The Pull would either kill us or bring us right back.

[homomachinis]

I'm thinking about going closer, actually. Shit, has nobody even tried?

[ damn boy ]

That was rude, sorry.

[isitablurred]

What makes you so sure that one person is responsible? Or that someone is, I mean. It could just all be a cosmic accident, right?

Video;

[homomachinis]

It could be, but I've always found that everything happens for a reason. There's always a cause, even if it looks like an accident.

[ Clark is smiling a little. ]

You sound like one of those crime scene shows. It's always a murder, nobody ever got hit by that tree just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[ Man this guy looks kinda familiar, but Mitch was a bit too busy to watch Smallville :c ]

More like West Wing, actually. Generally, though, it's experience, not paranoia. Although I'm sure I sound paranoid--

[ A small laugh ]

Showing up here is a bit disconcerting.

There's a long, frankly very boring explanation, and then there's the one I tell most people: all the unlucky people in the world have to go somewhere, and Canada is apparently it.

Hi.

permavoice for him too! Hey bb how you doin'?

[homomachinis]

[ Oh now that's a New Yorker accent if he ever heard one! ]

I think that's the best explanation I've heard all day.

And from the sound of things, extremely accurate.

i am so tired, you would not believe it.

[bythreadalone]

It's two-parts reality-television, one-part oh my God, I'm actually living with a crazy mercenary that likes to make chimichangas and pancakes at all hours of the day. It's nuts.

You're a new arrival, I guess?

You and me both!! :(

[homomachinis]

Oh yeah, really new. I haven't gotten past the fucking insane sci-fi spin yet, and I haven't met any mercenaries quite yet, so I'll have to take your word for it on that part. I take it you've been here long enough to find the fucked up humor in all of this?
