It's happening again.

This is where it all started, and it's happening again.

But now it's different, and I don't know how it's going to...

I can't...

Gordon...!

...can we talk?

[alyx_vance]

...Of course. Hi?

[finalgirl]

...actually, looking at it, this might be a bad time. But still, did you notice anything weird happening last week?

'Cause I almost remember being someplace called City 17.

[alyx_vance]

There's... just something I'm worried about.

That's weird. I used to live there. The place was going very downhill last time I saw it. I don't really...

Okay, wait. I seem to recall being very annoyed about plants.

And... an irritating transvestite with very poor aim. Can't figure out where that's coming from. And ice? Lots of ice.

*Hurray for distracting conversations!*

Right here, Alyx.

Always glad to hear that. The situation this guy's in - I don't think I need to tell how worrying it is, especially with what else is to come.

Is it alright if we... I could just use a familiar face right now.

It's an alternate universe, at best. There really isn't anything to be ... Well, yeah. The doomed world is a bit of a worry.

It's not much, but the apartment is open to you at all times. Just make sure I know in advance.

I just feel need to something, at least try to warn them...

One hour enough warning?
