*suddenly in camp, a young man in a wheelchair making an off-handed comment -- almost as if he had been talking to someone -- in a rather posh British accent*

So... not 1962, then...

((ETA @ 4:45AM EST: HOLY SHIT I'M GOING TO BED will pick up old and new threads over the course of the coming days!))

Nope!

[insert list of old sitcoms here]

My first exposure to Earth was through TV, actually.

*blinks and yes, he's staring a bit, but his expression is of guarded fascination and curiosity rather than any sort of shock*

Would you be able to provide a few more details? I'm afraid that I've rather lost my bearings here.

[stillagreenmiss]

I only got here a month ago, but all you really need to know is that we're in a summer camp and people from all kinds of worlds and times are trapped here too.

[mind_over_metal]

And all kinds of people, as well.

*elbow propped on the arm of his chair, he casually rests his chin in his hand, his index and middle fingers framing the side of his face and there's just a light scan going over the surface of the green girl's brain, something a normal person wouldn't notice in the slightest-*

[speaking in her mind]

Hello?

[mind_over_metal]

*he starts a little, not speaking, either, except for the voice in her mind*

...I guess that I'm not as subtle as I thought. My apologies.

ALL MIND TALKING ALL THE TIME

[stillagreenmiss]

You're a telepath?

IT'S A PARTY IN OUR BRAINS

[mind_over_metal]

[curiosity eagerness cautious enthusiasm]

Yes, quite. And evidently not the only one here.

[stillagreenmiss]

[EXCESSIVE DELIGHT AND EXCITEMENT]

This is so exciting!

[mind_over_metal]

[slowly relaxing still guarded increasing delight]

You don't get to do this very often, do you?

[stillagreenmiss]

[touch of homesickness mostly still delighted]

Not since I came to Earth. I really missed it.

[mind_over_metal]

[pleased satisfaction muted gratitude]

Where are you from? Is this how you all communicate there?

[stillagreenmiss]

I'm from Mars. And yeah, this is how everyone communicates.

[mind_over_metal]

I'm afraid that you'll probably have the advantage of experience over me, then. Before coming here, I'd only ever met one other person like me.

[stillagreenmiss]

I didn't even know humans could use telepathy.
