Hello, everyone!

[Behold, a wild Neil appears! Looking vaguely bemused, but all in all cheerful.]

It’s been ages since I had to introduce myself like this-- I’m out of practice. My name is Neil. I got here a few days ago, with my friend Todd. We came here from a place called the City, which was a little like this-- most of the people living there came from different worlds, or at least a lot of us did.

[He pauses, all too aware that this sounds a little nuts, but hey. It would've sounded crazier if they'd ended up in a proper self-contained universe, right?]

And things like yesterday-- with all those little furry things-- would happen every couple of days, too. Or other kinds of... Well, we called them curses, though I don't think you have anything exactly like it. But, I guess, we're used to strange things.

[And he smiles brightly.]

Anyway. I was speaking to the-- to one of the Wardens, yesterday morning, and she suggested I ought to get involved in some activities here.

[Because Neil wants his stuff back. His books, how is he supposed to get by without the few ones he packed?]

So I thought I'd introduce myself, and ask for some suggestions. Where should I start?

	You're welcome. Any other questions I can help answer for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think we're doing all right, mostly. It helps that we're sort of used to crazy places-- it took a lot longer to adjust to the City than I think it's taking here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was more the fact that I was considered a prisoner than the kidnapping that got to me. Who's we may I ask? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Todd and I. We came together-- from the City, though we knew each other before that, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think I've met Todd yet. You came together? That's... rather rare. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is it? I guess it would have been in the City, too. We went through the same door at the same time, though, so I think it makes sense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2014-04-17 06:24 am UTC (link)
	And this City you keep mentioning? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	had_not_lived 2014-04-17 02:24 pm UTC (link)
	It doesn't have another name. It's a place in between worlds, and it used to pull people in from all different ones. We were there for almost five years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2014-04-18 04:14 am UTC (link)
	Five years? And then you ended up here instead of home? I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	had_not_lived 2014-04-18 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	It doesn't seem like it's that bad a place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You clearly haven't been attacked by raptors yet.

[She smiles.]

But on the days when they aren't trying to kill us, or poison us, or any of the other weird things that happen, it's decent enough. We're clothed and fed. Better than most prisons I warrant. And as long as we don't care to leave here, we have all the freedom one could want. Provided we don't break some of the more asinine rules.

	It sounds a lot like the City, honestly. [Well, except for the raptors. Except there was that one time.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2014-04-19 03:17 pm UTC (link)
	Then you may get used to this quickly. Like I said, don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	had_not_lived 2014-04-19 03:34 pm UTC (link)
	I will, thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent)
