Thank you to all who assisted me upon my arrival. I am forever in your debt.

To everyone else, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Enjolras, I am a scholar and a printmaker from Paris. My English is primarily theoretical, not conversational, so your patience with me is appreciated.

I hope to make myself useful. I am not a person who is idle.

	[This message as well as his other replies will be written in French. I am using italics to signify this] Hello, Enjolras. My name is John Constantine. How are you adapting to living here then? Heard you weren't in good shape when you got here. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hello, Mr Constantine. I'm not sure that adapting is the right word. While, in theory, I should probably be thankful for the extraction, it is not an easy reality to adjust to. ~~I'm in better shape than those I left~~ It was nothing so serious. A minor graze that looked worse than it was, but I appreciate your concern. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Paris. At the barricades. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The barricades? What year was it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bloody hell... You're probably safer here then, mate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Undoubtedly, but if that was where my priorities lay, I could have stayed home and shuttered up the windows. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So which side of the barricade were you on then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	barricadeboy 2019-10-19 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	Revolution. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When are you from? Are you French? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worksbestalone_ 2019-10-20 03:24 pm UTC (link)
	Liverpool, England. And no, I'm not French. I spent some time learning French when I was a teenager. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know of this port town because of the Cholera riots - but I get the impression that you are a more modern man than I. Your French is exemplary, it was time well spent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are right about that. Thanks. Good to know it hasn't gone too rusty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When are you from? Not at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think it was 2018 before I wound up here. Time travel does make things a bit confusing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Was time travel normal in your world? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worksbestalone_ 2019-10-21 07:07 pm UTC (link)
	Not exactly, no, but I spent some time aboard a ship with a crew that travelled through time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Are you mocking me?~~ This is ridiculous. What's your favourite year then? Go on, astound me! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Any more ridiculous than you being on a space station? And no, not really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I should have been more specific. This entire situation is ridiculous, and simply gets more so the more I discover. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are not wrong there. (Reply to this) (Parent)
