It's been a long time since I've gone by Thurman. And people know who I am!

I'm apparently a video game designer. Which is weird.

	Why would you go by Thurman, if your name is James? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 01:02 am UTC (link)
	That's a kind of complicated question. I don't like a lot of people to know my name. So I make up a new one everytime I meet someone. But here I'm pretty well instituted as Norman Thurman. But you can still call me James. I like it better, anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oooh. I see. How particularly curious. I once thought I was Mabel, because I didn't seem to know much at all, but it turns out She was she and I was I. At least, I'm pretty sure I am. it was a rather queer day. I think I like James better as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 01:10 am UTC (link)
	Good. And I don't think you're Mabel, since you know a lot of things. How are you doing, Alice? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outofwonderland 2009-02-08 01:16 am UTC (link)
	Oh, I'm glad to have someone agree. I'm doing fine, I suppose. I've found my methods of coping. I see you didn't wake up where you expected? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 01:18 am UTC (link)
	I woke up in the same place I fell asleep. So that's a bonus. I just am still getting used to this place, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outofwonderland 2009-02-08 01:25 am UTC (link)
	I don't think I can help there. I never really got used to the last one. But good luck? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 01:26 am UTC (link)
	Thanks. Would you like some company, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outofwonderland 2009-02-08 01:28 am UTC (link)
	Company? I... err. Sure? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 01:29 am UTC (link)
	Just for lunch or something. It would be nice to put a face and a voice to the only friend I have here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outofwonderland 2009-02-08 01:31 am UTC (link)
	Oh! I like lunch. And I don't have any friends. That would be nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 01:32 am UTC (link)
	Good. Are you close to Belfast? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outofwonderland 2009-02-08 01:35 am UTC (link)
	Relatively. I'm in London. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	That does present a problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outofwonderland 2009-02-08 07:55 pm UTC (link)
	They have... things. Portkeys. I could try one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 08:14 pm UTC (link)
	If you're sure you want to. Maybe I could do it, so you don't have to risk landing someplace alien again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outofwonderland 2009-02-08 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	If you're sure? I can try it. The tube didn't kill me, though I've only tried that once. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	Nah. I'll go. If I go poof, I'll be alright. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outofwonderland 2009-02-08 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	And I'll just be hungry. If you're sure it's ok, then just let me know when you'd like to meet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know. I'll try to make it to London, and I guess it's best if you meet me there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outofwonderland 2009-02-08 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	Oh! Well, yes. I see how that could make sense. A brilliant plan. I shall strive to uphold my end. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Huhn. It was bound to happen someday. Welcome to the world. Has anyone given you the whole nine yards about it? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	No. What's the whole nine yards? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You've been grabbed by a vortex and taken to a new Earth, no on knows why or how.

Apparently there are an infinite number of Earths, and many of us are from entirely different worlds from your own.

Here, we have this forum, where we talk to others like us. And we have portkeys, magical objects disguised as normal everyday things that allow us to teleport between cities.

No one knows how to go back to their original world, no on has managed to do so of their own will.

If you look in your wallet, or somewhere on you, you should find identification that will tell you what sort of person you replaced, or at least an address. When we come here, we replace someone and to everyone else, it is as if we always were doing whatever they did.

	I got that last bit done already. Thus the surprise at my being well known and not hunted by the US government. Though in Ireland, who cares? Oh, so that's what portkeys are. Huhn. Fuck the old world. Beside Valerie, I've got no reason to go back, and she'll live without me just fine, I'm sure. Who are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My name is Cable, and I've been new a few times myself to new places, and know what it is like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	Cable, eh? Interesting. So what do you do that you have a pseudonym? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am a former mercenary, and currently Director of Defense for the Nation of Genosha. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So you're the Man, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thelonggame 2009-02-08 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	A man, anyway. What do you do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	I'm a video game designer. So, are all the men in the Genoshan army int he same training as you? If so, I might join up, unless you've got a thing against seducing the young recruits. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thelonggame 2009-02-08 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	Cool. Not all of the men, but a significant portion are at least reserve members and will slowly be trained, and I wont be seducing you. Sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	Not you personally, though that is a sad, sad thing, believe me. But 'you' like the people who look over the army. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thelonggame 2009-02-08 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	Ah. Then, no. As long as it doesn't make others uncomfortable, and it doesn't affect morale or operations. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	So, any reason you personally will not be donating to my underwear collection? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thelonggame 2009-02-08 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	Because I am not interested, I am married, and you are just not that cute. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	Sure I am. What kind of a politician gives up the chance to sleep with a loose guy they'd just met? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thelonggame 2009-02-08 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	No, you really aren't. I'm not a politician. Deal with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	Minister of Defense is a politcal position. And that was a joke. Believe me, I got no reason to be chasing men who got better things to do than me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thelonggame 2009-02-08 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	Whatever. Then you should go do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	propertyofusdod 2009-02-08 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks for the information. Mrs. Cable is a very lucky woman. (Reply to this) (Parent)
