001 [Voice Post] Where am I?

Jul 08, 2008 15:46

[Sound of muffled, feminine cursing.]

Well, that was enlightening. Any more riddles? Do I get real information if I answer one?

[There is a thud, not unlike the sound of something being kicked, then another curse.]

Where in hell am I? And what's going on here?

And what is this thing?

voice, arrival

[there's an annoyed sigh]

That makes two of us confused.

I'm Anna. Who're you?

[voice reply] ice_harpy July 8 2008, 19:55:05 UTC

What...? Oh, I see.

Karla. Did you just get dragged here by those cryptic sons of bitches, too?

[voice reply] bodycountrising July 8 2008, 19:59:23 UTC

Yeah, unfortunately. Just got here. Next time I see 'em, I'm gonna kick their asses.

[voice reply] ice_harpy July 8 2008, 20:01:27 UTC

There are much better places to kick than the ass...

You are in another dimension, a reality parallel and separate from your own. We are draftees from across reality, brought in to fight a war we have no stake in.

The device you hold is called different things by different people, but its most basic description is a small yet powerful handheld computer, capable of posting to a compound-spanning network in text, audio, or video.

I know this is another Realm. It doesn't feel like Kaeleer. That doesn't tell me which one, or which Territory this is.

[There is a span of silence that somehow manages to convey baffled staring.]

Computer? I don't know what that is.

Voice Comment -- Irritated finitevus July 8 2008, 20:53:12 UTC

This place is unknown to all. It's not just you.

A computer is a machine, a very advanced, very complex machine comparatively, and it performs many actions such as recording logs, allowing long-distance communication and making simple calculations and the like.

Out of all the people here, not a single one knows a single thing about this place? Even its name?

So it's an artificial substitute for some aspects of basic Craft. Interesting.

Hell is a pretty good way to describe it.. Yeah.

There's even a guy named Saetan here, to boot.

[Voice Reply] ice_harpy July 8 2008, 21:13:11 UTC

...Oh. I expected the Dark Realm to be...different.

I bet Uncle Saetan didn't expect to see me here so soon.

Re: [Voice Reply] spaceflyboy July 8 2008, 22:07:17 UTC

I didn't say it was hell. Just that it was like hell.

He's your uncle?

[Voice Reply] ice_harpy July 8 2008, 22:18:44 UTC

What did you mean, then?

Not by blood. We all adopted him as one several years back, though.

Welcome to Econtra. It's not such a bad place once you get used to it. ♥

A gilded cage is still a cage.

Of course, "gilded" would imply less dust.

At least no one can expect me to dress up here.

Re: [Voice Reply] takion July 8 2008, 21:21:38 UTC

This is a vast improvement to where we were previously.

I, dear lady, am Alternate Takion. And you would be?

[Voice Reply] ice_harpy July 8 2008, 21:27:25 UTC

That sounds promising. You'll have to tell me about it sometime.

My name is Karla.

Because I'm glad to see you I'll refrain on delivering a lecture on Language Appropriate For Young Ladies. It's wonderful to see you, sweetheart.

[Voice Reply] ice_harpy July 9 2008, 05:04:59 UTC

Uncle Saetan?

Just to be absolutely certain, this definitely isn't Hell, right?

Re: [Voice Reply] papa_high_lord July 9 2008, 05:19:13 UTC

Nonsense. Hell is much gloomier but, I am proud to say, far less dusty.

[Voice Reply] ice_harpy July 9 2008, 05:28:05 UTC

I thought so. I just wanted to make sure before I did something to terrify anyone.
