What's going on?

Is this a new Party device? I'm sorry, Big Brother, for not catching the bulletin if it is.

This isn't...1984, is it. There are too many...things around.

	Well, welcome Winston. I'm sorry your um, Brother isn't here. Or, not sorry if you're not. Whichever is better for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's not my brother. He's just...Big Brother. I...I don't get any of this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't get your sibling issues, but I don't judge. Here, there's a [website] that you can go to-

Oh, wait. In 1984, computers and things. I guess weather anomalies being what they are, you were brought here from your timeline for whatever reason. People are usually very friendly, there's an amazing transport system called a 'portkey' and... try the [website]. I'm new myself.

	He's not a sibling! He is Big Brother. The ultimate, immortal government head... Computers? Is that what this...thing is called? Some child helped me figure...this thing out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-10 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	I have 33 siblings. And? Am immortal. Computers seem to make the world go 'round, though they're quite complicated. Some are very tiny and fit in bags. Some sit on tables. It's confusing, but? If a child can do it, so can you, right? I have the confidence. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... Then you have more confidence than I do. These things are bloody confusing... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-10 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, don't worry. I'm not your Big Brother, either. I'll be your friend, though! Agreed. But fun to play with. OH! Big hint: If it says 'hit any key to' and then something? Don't actually hit it. It might break. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't have a Big Brother. How can you not understand? ...noted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-10 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	But... you said you did. The government of Oceania? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isofthedead 2008-04-10 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. But he's not my big brother as in a sibling. He's...a symbol. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-10 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	So you said. You said he was immortal, though, so once we deduced that I wasn't your actual sibling but immortal, I thought I'd make it clear I wasn't from your government, either. ... do they not tease where you're from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isofthedead 2008-04-10 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. ...what's teasing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-10 09:13 pm UTC (link)
	... ... seriously? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isofthedead 2008-04-10 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	I don't see why you wouldn't take me seriously. I'm not sure what that term is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-10 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	I would have thought that everyone knew what teasing was. That's all. It's where I... I mean... I can't define it? Just... teasing. I suppose you could look it up in a dictionary? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isofthedead 2008-04-10 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	I'm afraid I don't have any of the Newsspeak dictionaries with me at the moment. Is it from the 11th edition or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-10 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	A what? No, here. [Definition]. There. Teasing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you know what a joke is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isofthedead 2008-04-10 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	Sort of. I think. It's...an old term. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-10 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	An... OLD term? Darling, it's a term used regularly. Anyway, teasing is like joking with someone. I know that you're not my sibling and that I'm not your government. It was a joke. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isofthedead 2008-04-10 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	Not...to my knowledge it's not. But...I see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Winston, check your pockets. Does it say where you're located now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isofthedead 2008-04-10 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	I know where I'm located. London. I'd know the town anywhere...even though it's much different than I remember. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-10 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	Not everyone ends up where they started. That's because twenty years have gone by. You might try going for a walk. Seeing what there is to see? Was there anything in particular in London that you liked before? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
