[ a soft click and buzz as he switches to audio. an aggravated sigh, followed by a man's voice - there's an noticeable British inflection to it (region unnamed, so stereotype it? |D). ]

I thought I'd give 'typing' a try, but ... well, I'd like to finish this before the end of the month. And I'm really not- I'm

audio; yes she found the device and she turned it on too 8| run tristan, run...or plug your ears

[shiningdown]

Baggage?!

HAHAHA THE WORLD EXPLODES

[gazingup]

A rock wasn't supposed to be this insufferable. Or whiny.

she's going to slaughter him....with her eyes idk sob

[shiningdown]

Well, it isn't a rock that you found to begin with, is it?

The expectations ought to change.

What sort of idiot...[mumble mutter grumble PULLING AT THE CHAIN ... ]

send the unicorn to impale him

[gazingup]

...But you're still a star.

And you're still annoying, regardless if you're human, star, or rock.

You hit a tree?

[gazingup]

...That's what I said, didn't i?

[treadingdawn]

If it is any consolation, so have I.

[gazingup]

Well.

You didn't do it while trying to impress the love of your life, did you?

[ex_islandsh]

... A polar bear's head. Are you serious?

[gazingup]

For Victoria? I could be.

[ex_islandsh]

But do you really think she'd want some trophy like that? Pretty sure most girls don't care for that kind of thing.

[gazingup]

It's not the trophy that matters, but the act itself. It's a way to for me to prove my love to her.

A magical transporting-candle?

[gazingup]

Yes. You think about the place you want to go, and it brings you there. Nifty, if you use it right.

[parlelellyleloo]

It certainly does sound like a useful little trinket, if one were to have one. Pity that yours has not come with you, isn't it? As then you would have a better chance of whisking yourself away from here than most.

[gazingup]

I still have one light on mine, but I need it as a bargaining chip. Instead, I'll find someway out of here on my own two feet.

[ pauses, catching accent]

Where are you from? England?

[horrible_penny]

There's no map to show the way out, if that's what you're looking for. We're all a little stuck. Oh, but not permanently! We can't get out when we want to, but people usually leave eventually.

Aww, that--

Actually, some of that's really weird, but it's all sweet, and it's the thought that counts. Most girls would love to have someone that dedicated.

[gazingup]

No one's bothered to make a map of this place?

What. What do you mean- What do you mean we're stuck? Every city's got to have an exit - it wouldn't be a city without one!

Victoria expects a lot, as she rightly should. She's ... she's an amazing woman.

[horrible_penny]

No, there's a map, it just... it doesn't show how to leave. Which makes sense, because we can't. It's just the way it works. There's probably a crazy physics explanation for why and how, but you'd have to ask Fred about that.

I hope you'll be able to get back to her. It sounds like you think the world of her.
