[ An uncertain voice comes on the network; despite his native time period, he's actually dealt with this kind of communication before, but this device is something else entirely. Not at all like what they had in the City. ]

Uh. Hello?

[ Well, that's one place to start. ]

I'm… I'm not exactly sure how I got here, but. Hi. My name is Todd. I, uh... I was just in a place called the City, and I... well, I don't know if the door brought me here, or if I was just taken here, but. Either way, I'm here now.

[ He's nervous, and there's a good reason for it - one he voices after a slight pause. ]

Neil? Are you here?

	Well, I don't think it's the other way. [ There might be some amusement there. ] I got the map, I uh-- I think I'm on the other side? I'll try to go to the middle, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Neil doesn't answer over this strange new Network, because his excitement's gotten the better of him and he's running, ever inwards, hardly looking where he's going because there will be time and time enough for that once they're together.

And eventually, of course, he manages to make his way to the central zone, where he does slow down to gawk a little, though mostly he's looking for Todd.]

	[ The good news is that Todd's got the map business sorted out, and when he reaches what's apparently just called Sector 0, he spots Neil almost immediately. ] Neil! [ Yeah, he even shouted - and then he moves to close the distance, not quite running. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Go ahead, Todd, you have some decorum. God knows someone should. Neil practically bounces when he hears Todd shout, and with an incoherent yell-- a yawp, perhaps-- of his own, he takes off like a shot to help halve the distance. Guess who's getting tackle-hugged. It's you, Todd. Did you guess?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Todd may have a bit of decorum, but he still laughs at Neil's lack thereof. That aggressive hugging is welcomed and he returns it, as best he can while trying to keep himself on his feet. But he hangs on tight to him, the way one might expect when you've conquered reality twice now. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. Neil hangs on just as tightly; it'll be a while before he's comfortable letting go. He'll manage, eventually, but no one says he has to like it.] So much for New York, [he mumbles, with a tremble of laughter, a bit muffled because, you know, still hanging onto you.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ That's fine with Todd - which is sort of surprising, given how visible they are. But hey, it's a day where a bunch of people have just been tossed in here, right? No big deal in happy reunions.

And he also just cares a lot less, right now. ]

I guess. [ Likewise mumbled, which is not really notable for him, let's be honest. ] That's okay. As long as you're here.

	Mmhmm. [Yup. Not letting go. Deal with it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mumbled_truth 2014-04-09 03:33 pm UTC (link)
	[ After a bit longer of the not-letting-go, Todd lets out a soft laugh, releasing that nervous relief that's still bubbling up in him - a sound that's muffled into Neil's shoulder, before he pulls his face up to speak more clearly. ] So... what do we do now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	had_not_lived 2014-04-09 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	[Neil pulls away enough to facilitate conversation, still clutching Todd's arm like contact is the only thing that keeps them together.] I guess we... settle in again. Make friends. Live our lives. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Oh, don't worry. He's not letting go of that either. He gives a small laugh. ] Well, yeah, that's what I had in mind in general. Though, I meant sort of... right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	had_not_lived 2014-04-16 12:19 am UTC (link)
	Oh. [He's distracted, okay, he thought he lost you for a minute there, Todd. The relief means he's focused on the possibilities.] I guess we should look around. Find a place to stay, that kind of thing. (Reply to this) (Parent)
