[The sound of popping and crackling, probably as the mic is bumped and set up]

Okay, there we are. [clears throat] Yes. Well, I hope this is working ( Read more... )

It's a lot to catch up on, but I'm sure someone can provide you with a quick timeline.

Name's MacGyver. Nice to meet'cha, Mark!

[Voice] onetosurvive March 11 2009, 01:19:44 UTC

MacGyver, huh... That a first name or last name?

[Voice] dontcallmeangus March 11 2009, 01:42:39 UTC

Last, but you can call me Mac. Pretty much everyone does.

What about you? That a first name, or a last name?

[Voice] onetosurvive March 11 2009, 01:48:11 UTC

Okay, Mac. [chuckles]

First name. Mark Cohen, at your service.

...Alphabet City? I know where that is.

Good to see another native.

Internet is down, unfortunately, save for what seems to be limited to a local network. It's been effective when it comes to reaching out to people so far, though.

Mark. I'm Aya Brea.

[ Voice. ] onetosurvive March 11 2009, 01:50:44 UTC

S'a pleasure, Aya.

Yeah, I kinda noticed that. Was actually pretty surprised that this intranet was so ... buzzing.

Another Native? Don't tell me the survivors are mostly tourists.

[ Voice. ] acrossthememory March 11 2009, 01:53:22 UTC

Likewise.

I was surprised, too. Spent most of the first few months camped out in the bomb shelter that was once owned by a paranoid schizophrenic, hellbent that WWIII had broke loose.

Fortunately, no. Some of them are worse than tourists, though.

[ Voice. ] onetosurvive March 11 2009, 02:10:45 UTC

That's -- a pretty unique experience? Although... I guess at this point I'd probably believe anything. I mean, something out-of-this-world swoops over the city, and I'm gonna question paranoia? Not likely.

So, wait. If they're not locals.. and they're not tourists... What else IS there?

Wow. There's a lot of natives popping up. Makes sense.

[Voice] onetosurvive March 11 2009, 02:11:55 UTC

[confused voice] Are you a ... native?

[Voice] iheartmachines March 11 2009, 02:16:22 UTC

Yeah, I am. All my life.

(Voice) 1stdisgraced March 11 2009, 04:55:36 UTC

So you're from the area yourself? I've been here since the start, I was hiding up in the Upper West Side until I found someone to help me get down to where people were.

I really didn't realize that there were so many people still here, and arriving all the time...I thought most of the people from Manhattan were gone.

Where have you found safety all this time? Were you down in the Losaida area?

(Voice) onetosurvive March 11 2009, 05:06:43 UTC

My friends 'n I used to live down on 11th and avenue B. After the first attack, I salvaged what I could from my home on the upper east side, and migrated back here. It's kind of ironic, really, I keep ending up back in this neighborhood.
