are you always this melodramatic, or does the unexpected just make you maudlin?

[i_robert_capa]

I've been called a lot of things in my life. Melodramatic isn't one of them. Maudlin, yes perhaps.

[der_weevilkonig]

well, look around. there should be a few pubs left standing.

[i_robert_capa]

I can't say I'm a big drinker. Haven't had one in about three years. Something about 'No alcohol in space' - I assume.

right, guessing you were somewhere else a second ago, looked up, strange city, talking book, all that? you're a wanderer. welcome to chicago. you fell through a rift in space and time, you can't go home, and, by the way, a bunch of blokes probably already want to kill you.

there's shelter at the kashtta tower on the corner of wabash and lake if you need it, i'm dr. owen harper, your friendly staff medic, any other questions, you can direct to one of any number of people who aren't me.

[jiiiii]

I knew a kid once who fell through and got the psychic network grafted onto the Moleskine where he wrote all his erotica. Never did live that one down.

HEY, CAPACABRA. Dmitri Lang here, your eyes on the skies and voice in the crowd, freelance certified Angel of Knowledge and regional expert and pundit for hire. Welcome to Chicago! You may have noticed that a public psychic network has attached itself to the thing you're writing in. Fortunately, it comes with access controls. They're good to know.

A simple "private" at the top of your entries will keep things from broadcasting to the masses.

sounds like one of my classmates, back home.

then again, that's all she ever did or focus on. such a fujyoshi.

[i_robert_capa]

Capacabra..?

Ahh, thank you. This thing is tricky to work out, I've never come across anything like this before. We don't have these back home - well nothing psychic, anyways. It's fascinating.
