[Voice]

[The tone is calm and measured, each word enunciated as clearly as possible.]So I take it that it's normal for people to just appear out of thin air in this city ( Read more... )

intro, limbo, this isn't real

Pretty normal, yes.

What kind of work can you do?

audio; windsorknot September 27 2010, 01:40:36 UTC

I've done clerical work in the past. Mostly related to research.

Though really, my preferences fall more towards working in the field.

audio; chosered September 27 2010, 01:41:29 UTC

Which field?

audio; windsorknot September 27 2010, 01:53:42 UTC

Mostly military. I was in the U.S. Army for a few years.

There is no appropriate welcome. But we can try your questions.

audio; windsorknot September 27 2010, 01:42:55 UTC

Thanks.

I'm curious as to how, exactly, these 'curses' work. They can affect anyone?

audio; slighted_stains September 27 2010, 01:49:59 UTC

[pause, because if he takes a moment to be technical.]

...they're not curses.

[sigh;]

But these episodes seem to affect arbitrarily.

audio; windsorknot September 27 2010, 01:57:37 UTC

Interesting. So they occur arbitrarily in terms of time?

Sorry about the couch.

audio; windsorknot September 27 2010, 02:03:36 UTC

I've slept on worse. That doesn't change the fact that I'm in your debt.

audio; construire September 27 2010, 02:12:24 UTC

You're not. I'm glad to have something familiar around here.

audio; windsorknot September 27 2010, 02:23:38 UTC

Regardless, I always pay back a favor.

You said you'd been here a month before I arrived?

I wouldn't call it a prison.

audio; windsorknot September 27 2010, 02:19:00 UTC

A surprisingly comfortable holding facility, then.

audio; orangetoughguy September 27 2010, 02:41:09 UTC

Kind of like a weigh station?

audio; windsorknot September 27 2010, 02:45:12 UTC

Or purgatory. Depending on what you believe in.

What are you curious about?

audio ][ windsorknot September 27 2010, 02:33:59 UTC

The nature of this place. I've heard that everyone here comes from a different world. Where I come from we know of different planets out beyond our own, but nothing quite like this.

audio ][ the_alice September 27 2010, 02:39:25 UTC

What you've heard is the truth, though perhaps difficult to believe.

I didn't find it so, but...

I think that a lot of how much you do believe it often depends on how long one remains here. There are people who say they have been here for years.

But time isn't supposed to pass where you come from.

audio ][ windsorknot September 27 2010, 02:48:21 UTC

I find that hard to believe. So far everyone I've encountered here speaks the same language as me. Everyone here seems to be comfortable in this atmosphere, which as far as I can tell matches Earth's very closely. Entirely different worlds would imply a greater degree of variety in the populace, I'd think.

Time slows down? Or it simply doesn't pass at all?
