Okay, so not to be ungrateful--because I really appreciate being fished out of the ocean and given a crash course, really, I do--but the whole time thing? Things are just frozen, back where we came from, is that it?

_{( He pauses for a moment, and huffs. Perceptive listeners will be able to tell that he sounds exhausted, more so when he continues. )}

Yeah, I find that a little hard to swallow. More than this place, even. Has there been any verification, on that? Or am I just supposed to assume the nice people fishing me out of the ocean were telling the truth?

_{( Another pause, some muttering that isn't quite audible, though there may be a curse or two in there. Something about deserving this? Who knows. And then, just as unceremoniously as it began, the feed cuts. )}

[Being from a land without technology means you get a faster reply from Favrielle with video, rather than her attempting to type things up. It's good because the time it would take to type responses would frustrate her and only make her more irritable.

So have a D'Angeline with a scar on her lip.]

There has been no verification as of yet. As far as I know everyone here has remained here. No one has left and returned, or found proof here in the city.

permavoice, heh;

[arches]

_{( He pauses at the video for a moment--memorizing the face, perhaps. )}

So it's all just hearsay, then? Awesome.

permavideo so there.

[flawedgoods]

[Favrielle doesn't think much of the pause. It seems to her he's likely considering what she's said, thinking. It isn't as if she has an expression to help her determine...]

Indeed. Did they give you any explanation for how it works at least?

[video]

[dadissues]

No verification, no, I mean, how could we possibly know for sure? No one's like, gone back home to confirm it or anything.

permavoice;

[arches]

So basically that means there's no reason to believe it.

permavoice;

[dadissues]

Pretty much.

[sophos]

There's no definitive proof yet as far as I'm aware, but time being frozen isn't that unbelievable.

[arches]

So maybe it's not impossible. But I just want to know why I should believe it.

[sophos]

Would you rather time be passing at home? There's a lot of information being avoided here, but I haven't found anything I've been told so far to be a flat out lie.

[ Audio ]

[hairpipes]

No verification so far. I don't even know how they'd know.

It's not that odd, though. Our worlds might have just been sealed.

[arches]

You make it sound like sealing an entire world would be easy.

[hairpipes]

It happened in Fa'Diel, no reason it couldn't happen elsewhere.

[audio]

[sharpes]

You mean people don't always tell the truth when they kidnap you to the ass-end of the universe and tell you you're basically their equivalent of Jesus?

Oh my God my mind is blown.

[arches]

_{( Don't sass your au teachers, kid. )}

Yeah, I can see why the concept might be a bit beyond you.

[audio]

[sharpes]

Are you short enough that the sarcasm went right over your head?

[WELL IT'S NOT LIKE HE KNOWS THAT YET, GOSH.]

[Merle has been trolling the entries of the newest arrivals and this actually earns a short of amusement.]

[arches]

You know I get that there's not much to laugh at, given the situation, but really? That didn't take much.

audio;

[trainwrecked]

There don't seem to be a verification to any of it. Other than, for some people, the in-between part.

[arches]

The in-between part?

[usavatar]

[FFFFFFFF-]

What's your current position?

[arches]

Excuse me?

[storm_warning]

[Ororo has her elbows propped on her desk, chin perched in her palms.]

Sure. Let me hop into my pocket teleporter and go home for a bit and I'll rush right back to let you know.

[Forgive the sass, she suffers from an excess of personality.]

No one's confirmed it. I don't even think anyone's left since they got here.

permavoice;

[arches]

That would be great, actually. Do you think you could pick me up a decent cup of coffee while you're there?

_{( But yeah after a second he sighs. )}

That's what I've been hearing, yeah.

You can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. It's the honest ones you have to watch out for. [Paraphrasing Captain Jack Sparrow? Yes. Yes she is.]

[arches]

I'm pretty sure that even if you know a guy's lying, you still have to watch out for the lies.
