This is tiresome. I am tired of being sent to strange realms. I want to go home.

I do not expect that any of you will be able to assist with that request, so perhaps you will aid me in a smaller one. I do not wish to live in a suite of muggle rooms powered by muggle electricks and with a view of open space that reminds me how perilously close I am to certain death.

Is there a real house anywhere? A house alone, preferably in a field of real grass? I am not in a position to be demanding. A cottage would do. Even a barn. I do not know who owns the land here, such as it is, but I can pay in the muggle dollars.

	Splendid! Then we have a deal. I didn't mean to cast aspersions on your character, it is only that meeting people from other countries and timelines has taught me that some have very different notions of morality. I have heard of San Francisco! Is it true that it is absolutely full of gold mines? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No harm done, boundaries are important, especially where favors and magic are concerned. Once that was true but in the time I came from, which was around 2011, there wasn't much in the way of mining. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I agree entirely. As you know this place far better than I, might you suggest a sensible place to set up the pocket dimension? Somewhere secluded, perhaps. I suppose that after more than a century of mining it would run out of gold. That's peculiar to think of, all the same. I haven't met many people from as far into the future as you.

	When I dip in and out of the ones I create I tend to simply anchor them to my rooms. If you're so set on not being near anyone else we could fine another, but none come to mind right away. As far as I know the whole gold rush only lasted a year or two, but I'm not as up on that history as I should be. I take it you're from 1848-1850? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I think that until I understand more of what is happening here, it's most sensible to keep away from others. I'll go for a walk and see what I find. I can manage with a tent in the park until we find the right place.

That's a trifle disappointing. The reporters seemed to think it was going to make an awful lot of people very rich. You're exactly right with your timing, though. It was '49 when I left.
