They really need to work on their welcome wagon in this place, cause listen: I don’t know where anybody else came from, but in my neighborhood, if a guy grabs your arm and sticks something into it? You deck him and hope whatever it is don’t slow you down much. I could only manage one outta two, so hopefully my brothers’ll still be proud. Wherever they are.

Speaking of, where the hell am I? Besides the obvious, of course.

	Sooooooo, you decked him? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	thegirlin3c 2018-03-01 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	Course I did. How was I supposed to know he was an it, and made of metal? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not disapproving. And fortunately they can phase, so no harm done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I don't know if this one was faulty or something, but he was a bit slow on the phasing. I guess I can't complain, since he wrapped my hand after, but I want to, anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Punching metal's gonna hurt a bare fist. Not much anyone can help about that. Their medicine is pretty good here though, so it should heal well. And hey, it's not a terrible place to be. Here, that is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thegirlin3c 2018-03-03 07:10 am UTC (link)
	Maybe, but it's not like they took the time to explain what was happening before I wake up with a needle disappearing into my arm. No? Good. All this excitement got me all nervous; I needed a little good news. What's there to do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They could do better. When I arrived, we were somewhere else. And people explained what had happened, that they needed to screen me for anything I could pass on to anyone else and be quarantined for it. I got to watch them do the testing. Pretty sure it's similar here.

We're on a cruise ship that periodically docks at amazing places. We're at sea now, so there's various food/drink, an entertainment lounge, study, spa, and so forth. And it's all free.

	I vaguely remembering jabbering, but I was barely awake, so I'm still saying it was all kindsa rude. Yeah? How much does the extra stuff cost? Ballpark it for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hackedthat 2018-03-03 07:53 am UTC (link)
	Sure. But we're not even on earth. Something benign and meaningless to your body could hurt a ton of people from other places/times. Forgivable rude, yeah? While you're on the ship, everything's free. It's an all expenses paid trip. Back in Tumbleweed, Texas, you'll need to get a job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thegirlin3c 2018-03-03 07:59 am UTC (link)
	We're not on earth? How is that even....? Exactly how far in the future am I? Gonna just count my blessings on that one and worry about the rest later, 'cause I gotta say that I'm feeling good and overwhelmed. And boy do I hope they don't mind if I upchuck in this hallway, because I definitely am feelin' pretty close to pukin'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We were on earth, and odds are we will return there. I'm not sure if we're in the same time as Texas. But if that's the case 2018. Which, for me, is the past.

It... is a lot. So I'm sure that's a good normal amount of whelms.

They can clean it up if you do. Also, if you get seasick (outside of MASSIVE news), they have a shot for that.

Was there a better way to lead into that? I usually just go with how things are.

Oh, well if we're going back, it's no big deal.

...You probably can't tell, but that was sarcasm. Damn this thing.

How far in the past is it for you? A lot, right? It feels like it's a lot. Holy shit what the hell did I end up in?

[Ten minutes later]

Good, 'cause I can't say I'm in the mood to do the cleaning, and it's already starting to smell.

Nah, you were fine. There aint exactly an easy way to tell someone they got pulled from everything and everyone they know.

	Currently a few days away from whatever the port was called in Middle-earth. On a boat. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	thegirlin3c 2018-03-01 06:24 pm UTC (link)
	The port to what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	buttmonkeys 2018-03-01 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	Middle-earth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thegirlin3c 2018-03-01 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I got that. What does that mean, though? Like, the actual middle of the earth? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	buttmonkeys 2018-03-01 07:14 pm UTC (link)
	No, it's just the name of the place. I don't know if it means anything. It's full of elves and dwarves and things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thegirlin3c 2018-03-03 06:27 am UTC (link)
	Elves and dwarves? That's kinda rude, aint it? I mean, I'll cop to calling my cousin Vic a dwarf a time or two, but he's got a major little man complex and when he's bein' an ass, it's the best way to get him to shut his trap. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	buttmonkeys 2018-03-03 06:30 am UTC (link)
	Actual elves and dwarves. They're not human, that's the name of their species. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sure, pal. I've seen a lotta crazy stuff, but I know when to draw the line, and this is miles past it. That sorta thing just don't exist.

I gotta say, though, that if this is some fun little fantasy of yours, something that popped up after marathoning Snow White one too many times, I'm not going to blame or judge you. I'm just gonna let you know that that sorta thing is aint reality.

	No worries, you'll see when they let you out of the quarantine area. There's some of us can't even pass as human. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Already did, and all I'm seeing is a boat fancier than anything I've ever seen, which is a big deal, 'cause I live in one of Howard Stark's places.

Don't get me wrong, I'm expecting to be wowed by this place, considering this fancy typing thing is not something I'da ever even dreamed of and they said we all get em, but I wasn't born yesterday.

Even if you're telling the truth, though, I'm a 'see to believe' kinda girl - Ask Father Simeon at Our Lady Grace in Queens; he'll back me up - and so far, I'm not seeing nothing.

	Queens is kind of a long way away but I believe you. I could show you if you're somewhere public. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thegirlin3c 2018-03-04 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	Heh. Can't say I'm in the mood for anymore surprises, so in the off chance that you're not playing with me, I'm gonna say no. If you're right, I'll eventually figure it out. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm impressed that they did not phase on you. I honestly have no idea for the answer to that. Have you determined which room you're in yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thegirlin3c 2018-03-03 06:39 am UTC (link)
	Oh, it did. Right after my knuckles landed. I gotta say, English, as spiffy as those things were, shouldn't they work better? Thinkin' they might need maintenance. Yeah, they told me. I'm with some girl name Lily in room 903. You anywhere close? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	myvalue 2018-03-04 01:56 am UTC (link)
	I believe they wish to give us the benefit of the doubt and expect a bit of retaliation after we first arrive. Unfortunately no. I'm in 211 with Gwen. But that hardly means much. I only use my cabin for sleeping. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thegirlin3c 2018-03-04 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, well, I coulda done with them being a little more suspicious. Well, in that case, we should meet up. Figure all we got is time right now, and I wouldn't trust nobody but you to tell me what's going on. Whaddya say? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	myvalue 2018-03-04 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	Certainly. I can catch you up to speed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Actual speed, or just stuff that aint classified? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ladycontrary 2018-03-02 12:25 am UTC (link)
	They were quite insistent and rude, weren't they? And insulting to think that I would have diseases. The explanation of where we are is rather long and drawn out. We're on a cruise ship that seems to be going different varied places. We just left a place called Middle Earth. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I get that they were doin' what someone told em to, seeing that they're not real and all, so I guess it don't make sense to be too mad at em. I'd like to meet the fella who made em and taught em manners, though. I'm betting I could teach him a thing or two.

Yeah, I heard. Can't say that sounds like the kinda place I wanna visit. Or that I get why anybody'd wanna ride around of a boat for anything other than just gettin' from one place to the other. And I mean, if you do, I'm not gonna stop ya, but why drag me along without even askin'?

	You haven't been on a cruise before? So far I haven't been given a satisfactory explanation as to how we all got here. All I know is that there's apparently no going home unless whatever power that controls it sends you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Uh, no. Never had the money or a reason to travel to Europe, what with the war being on. Still don't have the money now, but I probably still wouldn'ta bothered even if I did.

Not that I'm not glad for a vacation, but I do have a life I'd like to not leave for too long. I've gotta audition next Thursday, and I'm feelin' pretty good about it, you see. Even if I had no plans, though, I don't much like being held somewhere against my will, no matter how fancy it is.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ladycontrary 2018-03-06 02:01 am UTC (link)
	Which war? Technically what I went on wasn't a cruise but a trans-atlantic trip. There weren't nearly as much entertainment options as there are here. I don't think anyone likes being held against their will. What were you auditioning for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thegirlin3c 2018-03-26 02:32 am UTC (link)
	The big one. Or, well. The second big one. Yeah, those are the only kinds of cruises I'm aware of. This whole thing is a completely different animal. Just some bit part, but it's for this show about a woman president, so I was happy to just be in the room. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ladycontrary 2018-03-27 12:34 am UTC (link)
	Mmm. I'm from a bit after the first big one. A woman president? They can barely vote in my time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thegirlin3c 2018-03-30 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	Really? Around my time, then. Finally. Need someone to have a good conversation with about the changes and such. Psh, yeah. It's basically just a joke. Considered so out there, that it's funny, y'know? Obviously written by some lead brained man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ladycontrary 2018-03-31 12:14 am UTC (link)
	I've heard there are even more changes between my time and yours. If a woman was president, I'm sure she'd do a terrific job at it. They're far more organized than men. (Reply to this) (Parent)
