[Day 3, Morning]

[twelvemods]

[The morning clicks over.

You awaken having had a series of odd dreams last night. You feel wide awake this morning, your brain alive and awake. But your thoughts keep drifting to someone in particular....]




((OOC NOTE: For most of you, you will be taken by an absolute, ferocious fascination with the people you dreamt about. However your curiosity engages... do you want to know their backstory? Do you want to know alllllll about their love lives? You want nothing more than to be around them and learn...

On the other hand, if you feel like you are MISSING SOMETHING since the fight with the ooze monster... you feel that same fascination, but you also have this solid knowledge that they have or know something you NEED.

This event will be going all week. The event to settle this will be coming later, so sit back and ENJOY :D.))

[Looking pretty chipper, himself! He's either remarkably recovered from the night before or else doing a very, very good job of pretending. Also, he may have a clockwork dog following him around.]

What do you know? It is.

[nyanotech]

Oh? Found a new friend?

[direstnews]

He's not wandered off yet. Signs, as claim the fortune telling balls of eight, point to yes.

[Reaches down to scratch the dog.]

[nyanotech]

Magic eight balls . . . ?

You too. I'm underestimating everyone.

[direstnews]

In what manner?

[nyanotech]

Time.

[direstnews]

You suspect I hail from the distant past?

[nyanotech]

Not distant. But you don't quite have the dialect of someone from twenty-first century Earth, either.

[direstnews]

For I hail not from the realm of Midgard.

[nyanotech]

[Pauses, thinking . . . ]

Asgard?

[direstnews]

Asgardia. Of late, there have been some small changes.

[nyanotech]

What's it like?

Your home.

[direstnews]

A place of great beauty. It floats above the vast stretches of the land beyond the city known as Broxton, and from its streets one can see the lights of the world tree.

[This is the part where I conveniently don't mention the people there.]

[nyanotech]

Broxton . . . Georgia?

[direstnews]

Oklahoma.

[nyanotech]

A county . . . ?

Near the Wichita mountains? There's a current there . . .

[direstnews]

A current can scarce be expected to bring the whole of a realm.

[nyanotech]

Not bring. But it's not a bad place to dock.

[Shakes her head.]

What year?

[direstnews]

Dock in the manner of ships?

The year was two thousand and thirteen, by the reckoning of the most popular mortal calendar.

[nyanotech]

Mm, that kind.

Same as Sherlock . . . 'was'?

[direstnews]

Was. We know not whether it remains the same in this place.

[nyanotech]

It may not be. There's people here from 1924, too.

[direstnews]

[Peering about.]

Who do you mean?

[nyanotech]

Different times. Different worlds—you and I know that's possible, but this many? And few to none the same.

Raiden's likely from later than you.

[direstnews]

Perhaps the difference is not in worlds at all.
