This world is just as real as any other, though it may be difficult to believe, at first. Blinding yourself with denial will be of very little use, in the end -- you have been brought within this forsaken place in order to fight a war, much like the rest of us.

Umm.. hmm. Well this isn't what real life looks like where I am from.

... And I don't want to fight a war! I've never fought in a war before! This is stupid! I shouldn't -be- a part of a war!

GAH!

'Allo. Helena, was it? I'm the Doctor. Nice to meet you, wish'd been in better circumstances, but ah, well, what do you do

Re:[Typed]

[veryusefulbook]

But... but I'm nobody. I'm just Helena Campbell... And, how are you.. Why can I hear you? Are you talking to me or leaving a message, is this little thingy like a phone?

Huh...

But, well, thank you very much for your help. The Doctor, that's your name, right? Thank you very much. I may come to visit you if I can... find my way around a bit.

This. This is so strange! I'm just, I'm a little confused, ya know what I mean?

I'm not... I'm not crazy right? You're a real person, I'm a real person? Well...

Well, thank you again. I'm sure I'll find my way around soon enough.

Hmm. You sound like you've been through a lot.

Sad to say, you aren't where you used to be here. You're here now, in a situation where you are drafted in a war. If you're a natural fighter, I daresay you'll have little to worry about. If you're not, I suggest you learn to be. There are some here that love to use you as prey.

I have been, but I thought it was all over. Guess I was wrong.

And, I'm not a natural fighter. I don't- well that is, I've never had to fight before. I don't think I want to either.

I draw. That's all I- well I juggle, but nothing else.

So, if I am here to fight a war what good am I? Why can't I just go home?

Re: [Typed]

[darker_alice]

You and I have that in common. Something I went through should have finished a particular part of me, but here I am in a situation just as dire.

You draw. You juggle. But there is more to it than that, isn't there? Maybe not the juggling, but the drawing, well, I'll bet it isn't just taking a pencil to paper sort of business. Things are created. I have been here long enough to see it in others.

I know because I am similarly affected like that. I have the ability to create worlds, creatures, all at the cost of curiosity. You will find, however, that you may be at a better place than I. When a person like that is affected by the circumstances of the real world, she can think up rather nasty things.

But I think you know that.

Re: [Typed - Screened to Alice]

[veryusefulbook]

Yes, yes I can understand that.

And I know the feeling. I draw. The pictures have no names when I make them but souls and lives of their own they create for themselves in a world of light and shadow...

I still don't quite understand it all but I know I've been there and though everything was changed and done for the better of everyone it still changes a person...

I was able to find myself in that world. All the things I loved and hated, knew and denied. They were all created by myself, a part of me in a way, and to see the wisdom and ignorance of my own person in one world.. well, it changes a person.

And I know- I know I must sound like a complete idiot! But, I do understand what you are saying and it's not rubbish at all!

As long as you know who you are, then nothing you say is rubbish.
