I suppose I'll spare everyone the commentary on my location. I doubt anyone who has been here for any length of time needs another exclaimation over that ferris wheel, as whimsical as it may be.

[ there's a pause. fingers drum restlessly against the device for a moment. ]

Who here can tell me where I am and why I cannot contact any of my

Comments

[ CLICK ON ]

Magic.

[ CLICK OFF ]

[duplicitas]

How useless.

[freewolfmoon]

[ It takes him a little while to check the ACCURSED DEVICE again, but when he does, there's a message waiting for him! Calling his helpful response useless! ]

If my answer displeases you, you're welcome to look for another. But you'll find it's as I said. We are all transported to this place by powerful beings, and something in their powers keeps us isolated here.

[duplicitas]

For what purpose?

[ironmanic]

[Same frequency as the comment he just got earlier.]

Oh, so now you make a post announcing your arrival. Glad you could grace us with your presence.

[...]

Unless you're not who I think you are. But I really think you are.

[duplicitas]

[ forever trolling your life, tony. ]

I was busy.

voice;

[ironmanic]

So I'm just going to go ahead and assume that you are and frown.

Wow. Funny. I can't imagine what you were busy with. Paperwork?

voice;

[duplicitas]

Because I absolutely brought the files with me.

[ spoilers she was creeping on your life. ]

[ audio ]

[specifics]

Usual channels of contact don't apply here if it's phone numbers or emails you were trying to reach them through.

[ pause ]

Honestly you're better off just asking them on the device you're using. People who know each other have a knack for picking up the first signal.

And if there's no one replying after a day or so, then your answer's that none of them are here.

[ audio ]

[duplicitas]

[ oh look someone straightforward and useful. immediate bonus points. ]

I seem to have found someone from home. Regrettably.

[ audio ]

[specifics]

[ SOMEONE'S GOTTA DO IT...well...or at least, he reasons, why not? best way to fill a work break, perhaps. ]

That bad, huh?

[ He doesn't know Tony, though a previous version of Arthur here knew a previous version of Tony ...not that he knows that either. ]

[ audio ]

[duplicitas]

He is rather high maintenance.

[ it's really the kindest thing she could have said here. ]

[orangetoughguy]

Gotta know who your colleagues are first.

[duplicitas]

They know who they are. If they were here they would make contact.

[orangetoughguy]

Did you do anything to piss'em off?

[duplicitas]

Not that I'm aware of.

[ridethecyclone]

'Cause apparently the Big Guys upstairs don't wanna make it too easy for anyone. You'll get used to it.

audio;

[duplicitas]

And if I'd rather not get used to it?

audio;

[ridethecyclone]

I don't think there's a management to take it up to.

[duplicitas]

How unfortunate. I had a few choice words for them.
