It's always the portals, isn't it? Well, it wasn't the first time I came here, but still. Every other time has been portals. And you can dress it up like a door, but I can still tell. I mean, it's a little obvious when it's just sitting in the middle of a room.

Anyway, to anyone who's listening? I'm going to try to stay, because I'm happy ( Read more... )

Fred? What are you talking about?

[ voice ] supercompacted December 29 2009, 15:57:51 UTC

This stupid city! It's kicking me out, I think. But like I said, I'll be back. You know me, when I get determined about these things, I don't let up.

[ She is trying really hard not to get upset, but her voice keeps wavering. ] ...so make sure you water the plants for me, won't you? I don't want to come back and- and find out they're all brown and crunchy.

[ What the flip are you talking about? He's starting to sound slightly panicked. ]

Nonsense. Which room are you in?

[ voice ] supercompacted December 29 2009, 16:18:03 UTC

The computer room. [ which is to say, the sitting room she takes her computer to when she's planning to work on it for awhile- it has a comfy couch. ] I- I don't really want to get near the portal, they have a sort of tendency towards extremely deep gravity wells. And I'm not sure I want you getting near it, either, just in case it isn't tuned just to me.

I guess I should be glad it didn't just yank me out, but the whole ominous door thing isn't really that nice, either.

What? A--but how can you leave? Any idea what's behind the door?

supercompacted December 30 2009, 02:48:29 UTC

I've got an idea, but I don't think I like it.

horrible_penny December 30 2009, 02:59:58 UTC

What's your idea, Fred?

supercompacted December 30 2009, 03:04:37 UTC

I'd rather not say, actually. I don't think it's LA or San Antonio.

Penny, I don't want to go.

You've found a way home?

supercompacted December 30 2009, 02:51:22 UTC

My home is here. And I didn't find it, it found me. That's how it seems to work in this City.

tinybluedress December 30 2009, 02:53:11 UTC

So you're from this place? I didn't think the City had any natives.

supercompacted December 30 2009, 03:06:26 UTC

No, you've got that right. I'm not really a native. I came here after I died.

Be careful, Fred.

supercompacted December 30 2009, 16:37:36 UTC

Thanks, Cordy. And you know me, I will.

See you...soon, hopefully. I'm sorry I can't stay.

downrightlinear December 30 2009, 16:38:58 UTC

Don't apologize. It's not like it's your fault.

[Lorne had listened in, grimly. There's really not much else he can do.]

♪ Good night, sweet princess charming, god speed, milady Fred.
The moon hangs high, the loon doth cry: "Tis time thou wert in bed."
Because tomorrow morning thou must be at thy best,
I've called upon my angel choir to sing thee to thy rest. ♪

<333 and awww, the song. supercompacted December 31 2009, 15:22:11 UTC

[ There may be a short pause while she desperately tries to keep herself from sniffling. ]

Thank you, Lorne. But I'm not going to be resting. I'll find a way back, and- I'll see you soon, okay?

<333333 i've been sitting on it for the perfect opportunity deformiwhats January 2 2010, 03:03:17 UTC

You better.
