There's...there's a door, it goes ~~home~~ to the 30's. To Coney Island. I'm not sure the year exact but it's middle or late 30's so if you go through you might want to be careful about what you wear. And keep your phone's hidden. You'll need something other than paper cash but if you go just a little ways in to Queens you'll be able to find somewhere to sell things. You'll have to keep it to things like jewelry or books (check the dates) or things like that. The electronics won't be worth anything and could get us in hot water.

But...it's Coney Island. It's this really great amusement park with a beach, and a boardwalk, and fair food, and games and if you catch a train or a cab there's real easy access to the rest of New York.

	Is it like you remember? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah. It is. But it's brighter, and seems...happier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I'm gonna gather up a bunch of things to sell and talk to Mac and AJ about taking the day off. I'll go through and get the money and some clothes and come back for everyone.

We can go and...and eat lunch on the beach, let them go swimming and play in the sand. Then once it gets dark we'll have bad carnival food and play games and take Sarah on the rides...

	I can't wait! I still have my clothes from home, so we just need some for you, Stevie and Sarah. I used to love the beach fairs back home and all those photographs from my research made it seem so wonderful. I'll need a more modest swim suit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-08-25 05:05 am UTC (link)
	Sarah will need one too, there's always a bunch of shops right near the beach, we can go while we're there. Or go in to the city first and go to one of the department stores. I'm sure she wouldn't like anything I chose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-08-25 05:09 am UTC (link)
	I'll have to see if she can fit into any of my dresses so she can go and pick her own clothes. There's nothing from the era on the island. She'll hate the clothes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-08-25 05:11 am UTC (link)
	Lillian might have something too, if none of yours fit? She might but...I'm sure it'll be okay for a day. She won't mind just a day right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-08-25 05:12 am UTC (link)
	Oh my goodness, we have to tell Steven and Lillian! They'll love to go home too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-08-25 05:34 am UTC (link)
	Yeah they will. Steven's gonna want to visit mom but...I can do that another day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-08-25 05:35 am UTC (link)
	Is... when did she pass away, my love? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-08-25 05:40 am UTC (link)
	She's...she'd already be gone. But she's in Brooklyn still. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-08-25 05:41 am UTC (link)
	You should go too. She was your mother too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-08-25 05:43 am UTC (link)
	I will. I'm going to. But I want to show my family some fun first. She'd smack me on the back of the head if I didn't take you and the kids as soon as we could. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-08-25 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Okay, love. Whatever you want :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-08-25 05:51 am UTC (link)
	Don't worry about that today. She'd want us to be happy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-08-25 05:54 am UTC (link)
	Do you think that we could stay overnight in Coney Island? Just you and me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-08-25 05:56 am UTC (link)
	I think so. We could maybe get a hotel? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-08-25 05:57 am UTC (link)
	That'd be wonderful. I could ask Sookie to look after Stevie for the night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-08-25 05:59 am UTC (link)
	Sarah would be okay on her own right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-08-25 09:47 am UTC (link)
	I'm sure she'll be alright. She knows people here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A door. A door to the 30s. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-08-25 05:33 am UTC (link)
	Yes. There's a building an they...show up sometimes, to tall different times and places. Usually it's someone's home, the world where they came from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hooman_from_erp 2013-08-25 10:27 am UTC (link)
	And it's real ~~for here~~, this, this isn't made up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-08-25 12:54 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah it is! You can go through and go in the water or get some food or anything you want. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	A doorway to pre-space Old Earth? That sounds interesting. I've never heard of this 'Coney Island' though I think I saw New York mentioned in a few ancient history textbooks back at the academy. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-08-25 01:14 pm UTC (link)
	I uh...guess you're from the fuure? But yeah, Coney Island is a part of New York city, at the tail end of Queens. It's real fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	browneyedwolf 2013-08-25 01:25 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, yes. Sorry. I'd be from the...um... 40th century by your dating system I think. I thought everyone knew? What's Queens? A neighborhood? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-08-25 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	Oh uh, no. I've been...a little preoccupied lately. Yeah. New York City is a big place so they split it up in to neighborhoods to make it easier to navigate. There's Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Staten Island, and the one most people know is Manhattan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	browneyedwolf 2013-08-25 07:30 pm UTC (link)
	Can't say I've ever heard of any of those, but given how long ago it was for me that isn't surprising. Just an opportunity to learn I guess. Are you from there? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	tenth_doc 2013-08-25 05:09 pm UTC (link)
	A door? Why would there be a door to the 30s? I'm guessing you mean the 1930s, judging from your comment, as opposed to the other 30s. Mind you, I didn't mind the 1930s, not sure I've been to Coney Island though... I could be wrong, sometimes I forget or maybe I've just not been there yet. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-08-25 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	There's a building here with lots of doors. Usually they're plain and don't have handles so you can't open them but sometimes they look different and the handles show up. Usually the place on the other side is someone's world, the place they came from or somewhere they know. If you've never been you should go, it's a real swell place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tenth_doc 2013-08-26 06:44 am UTC (link)
	Huh. That sounds interesting, I might have to go and investigate this door building. Doors to other worlds, so much more what I'm used to than all this domestic stuff. Are other people going? I might do. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	maryanne_walker 2013-08-27 12:52 am UTC (link)
	I wonder if one of the older cars could be taken apart and brought through the door. Would you like a bag or two of some pirate treasure? See what you can get for it? (Reply to this)
