...Is this thing working, then? I don't... [a frustrated little groan]

Well, if it is - and it had better be - can anyone hear me? I mean, is that even how it works?

Look, I just fell into a fountain... And... [a longer pause] This isn't Underland. I'm sure of it.

Just what is going on? Where am I? More importantly, how do I get back?

People generally refer to it as 'The City'.

[voice]

[bravemallymkun]

Got it.

[voice]

[withonestone]

However, I'm afraid there's no simple way home.

[voice]

[bravemallymkun]

That doesn't exactly work for me...

[perspectiveguy]

Yep, people can hear you. And it's one of the way it works.

...And suddenly, I'm happy I fell off a bench. [...] No, it's the City.

You were brought here. Don't know why or really how. It has this whole parallel world/pocket dimension thing going.

And you can't get back.

voice

[bravemallymkun]

How else does it work, then?

Well, how lucky for you. And yes, I've heard.

It's got... What going?

What? No, that won't do at all.

[perspectiveguy]

Voice. Video. Um...texting, I think.

It's an alternate/parallel dimension and you're stuck.

voice

[bravemallymkun]

Not entirely sure what all that means...

Great.

[voice]

[mothinabath]

Yes, it's working. We can hear you because you used the audio function. It does, however, also support text and video feeds.

This isn't Underland, I don't think. It's a place called the City and it seems highly likely it's an entirely different dimension to the one you're originally from.

I'm afraid you don't seem to be able to go back of your own accord. But don't worry. From what I can tell, no time will have passed when you do manage to return.

[voice]

[bravemallymkun]

My, you're certainly helpful. Good. Ah... Thank you.

No, it's not. And so I've heard... A different dimension, huh? Well, it'll be interesting, at least...

So they've said... But how can I just stay here? There are friends back home I have to get to!

[voice]

[mothinabath]

I do try. I might not have been here for all that long, but I see no reason why that means I shouldn't be.

You could try asking around, although I'm not sure anyone would be able to give you an answer there. I'm sure there must be a way back, but no one seems too sure what that might be.

[voice]

[bravemallymkun]

Hmm, well, good. I like that attitude.

I'll have to try... I can't just leave them out of my life.

[witheringlily]

I don't think you can get back.

But you shouldn't worry too much. There are really nice people here in the City.

[bravemallymkun]

So they keep telling me.

Well, really nice people aren't exactly what I'm looking for. I want to see my friends.

1/2

[witheringlily]

I think everyone here would like to see their friends. I've heard of cases where the City pulls in more than one person from any given realm, but it doesn't always happen.

[witheringlily]

In any case, your friends might be here, just separated from you at the moment.
