 [It's only natural, really. The mid-90's don't really have touchscreens, so when one "Adam Pierson" slams his NV down on the front desk of the Tower Apartments and presses a hand down on it, he doesn't realize, he's turned the damn thing on, so for a moment, all that's broadcasting is a shadow (that would be his hand) and the sound of a

Apparently they do not if this is any indication.

I'll be perfectly content on the day all technology fails mankind and we go back to sending carrier pigeons. It may have been hell keeping records straight, but at least I'll know what I'm doing.

Voice;

[possiblycantdie]

It would be far simpler.

Technology akin to this is not yet present when I am from. It does complicate matters.

[wasthenightmare]

[Blink. Blink.]

And... When would that be exactly?

[Because... Okay, he's an Immortal. He lives a long time. Time travel is just weird.]

[possiblycantdie]

[ Yes, time travel is weird, you don't have to tell her that ]

1899.

[wasthenightmare]

[Ah, nostalgia.]

Not a bad year. The cusp of a new century, modern geometry was invented, Sudan became a county, the newsboys had their strike in New York...

[Yeah, he sounds moderately wistful. It's because he loves history. Really.]

[ She knows too little on him to comment on it ]

I was unfamiliar with the global events. [ Thankfully that is as global as things would become. No more war that almost was ]

[wasthenightmare]

Where were you from, Ms...?

Voice;

[possiblycantdie]

Mina Harker. And England, specifically London.

Voice;

[wasthenightmare]

Adam Pierson. Paris, France. 1997.

[A pause. Ohhh she did not just say her name was... That. Did she?]

...Did you say 'Mina Harker?'

[possiblycantdie]

[ And there's a little confusion in her voice ]

I did.

Voice;

[wasthenightmare]

[Annnd brushing that off.]

It just sounded familiar.

Voice;

[possiblycantdie]

[ She's not so easily swayed. You're from too far in the future to say that, and she's not a well known person ]

And more specifically?

Voice;

[wasthenightmare]

Well, it can't be that uncommon a name.

Voice;

[possiblycantdie]

With when I am from it seems odd for you to find familiarity otherwise.

Voice;

[wasthenightmare]

[Okay, fine. He doesn't have to say she's fictional. He can say she's... History. Always works.]

I may have passed by your husband's name in my research over the years. [He laughs] People yearn to be a part of history, but so rarely do they live to see the day when they do.
