001 ♙ Video
[ the comm flips to life with the face of ariadne looking almost deep in thought for a moment (this whole place is a lot to take in) before she is sighing deeply, letting her hand unconsciously start to rub at the back of her neck, as she calmly ask: ] I'm wondering if anyone could tell me what year it is?
[ that's a simple question for a projection, right? ]
I mean, my friend and I...well we're new.
[ which hopefully will give her some type of leniency with others (though she is doubtful and can only smile somewhat awkwardly because of it) ]
...and I guess we would just like some type of idea what we’re up against here, or maybe where we're all coming from.
[ it's a vague question, and one that she isn't fully sure she will like the answer of. but at least it is something that might get them closer to understanding this whole mess. because lets face it, the natives aren't exactly the most helpful of people. ]

Well, what we're up against isn't...really a threat or an enemy, it's just weird luck, I guess. Far as where you came from? Only you have an answer to that. I'm from Earth, though. 2550s.
video
Luck? [ her brow just furrows at that, looks slightly skeptical. ] I'm not exactly sure I would go with that, but maybe I've just had better luck outside of here, I don't know.
[ a long sigh and her nose is crinkling as she is adding. ]
Earth 2010. [ big time gap there apparently. which only has her wondering. ] You don't find that odd -- the gaps in time?
video
Most people have. This place isn't so bad once you get used to it, but-- yeah. It ain't exactly home.
[ 2010, though, huh. Jeez. ]
Odd? Kiddo, this whole place is odd. You kind of roll with it after a while.
video
First off: I'm not a kid. [ because this needs to be said right away (she is slightly defensive when it comes to her looks and all, okay) ] I'm twenty-three and last time I checked, that wasn't anywhere near being a kid.
[ a long beat, and she is looking at him skeptically. ]
And secondly: How is this place not bad?
[ we've apparently been kidnapped and forced on a giant turtle. ]
video
Got a name then?
[ He shrugs at that. ]
Well, comparatively. Seems like most people came from pretty rough situations.
video
Ariadne.
[ a questioning brow ]
So I can assume I might be one of the only ones from a world I would like to get back to...[ her words trail off at that, implying she was hoping for a name as well. ]
video
Nah, there's a chunk of 'em, but there's a chunk of people who're content staying, too, seems like. This place has issues, but for some of us, the whole bein' dead thing means there's not much to go back to.
--York, by the way.
video
You're dead?
[ a rude question, perhaps. but she is trying her best to sound as sorry as she could for asking it. ]
video
As a doornail, it looks like.
video
So you died and came here?
video
[ He's kind of amazed he's talking about it this casually but he supposes he hasn't...really processed it, yet. ]
Kind of a crap situation all around.
video
So when you left you were still alive?
video
[ He tries to say it lightly, but saying it gives it life and it settles in a little more heavily, makes it more real. ]
That's- way more depressing than I was planning on this being, sorry.
video
[ her brow furrows slightly at that, quietly considering that for a moment. ]
So there's a chance it's not true though, or that they...[ a long pause, shrugging, and yes, readjusting her thoughts. ] And you were here before your friend?
[ assuming there is always a chance that he is a shade of that friend of course. ]
video
[ Of course, North... well, he's dead too, and Carolina's the only one out of them still living. ]
video
Well then, Mr. York, how long have you been here?
video
video
[ she sort of smirks at that, oddly amused by it still ]
video
[ HE LIKES NICKNAMES OKAY ]
video
I suppose that would be fine.
[ a ghost of a smile, adding with a sigh. ]
Maybe you could tell me something, York. [ because she has a few questions and you seem like you could be helpful here. ]
The Kedan -- what's with them?
video
[ That question, though, makes him pause. ]
Well- they're uh, a little hit and miss. Like with any group, I guess, you suddenly get an influx of new people and you'll have some people that like 'em, some that don't care, and the, well, crazies.
Thankfully they're a little less common, but there's been some pretty...heavy stuff on the network.
video
What sort of stuff?
video
[ he flashes a brief grin, amused, though it fades at the second part. ]
Just-- some people weren't so happy to see us. Most of it's ironed out so far, and for the most part, they keep to themselves, from what I can tell. No one's been overly aggressive.
video
Any idea why they're so vague on answers?
video
Don't really know. I haven't spent too much time diggin', unfortunately.
video
