…what the hell does "displaced" mean? Where is this? Two seconds ago, I was at work. I mean I'm no stranger to weird but…this kind of takes the top.

Displaced means you're not from here, basically. Long story that I'm gonna make short: a biblical seal kidnapped you from your work and dropped you here. Welcome to Lawrence, Kansas, which is both not where you're from and in an alternate reality, basically. There are demons, angels, and other supernatural baddies here all fighting against one another because, yup, there's a war going on between heaven and hell, which is actually why most of us hypothesize that we're here. No, you can't go home, and no that's not from lack of trying to get people home. Yes, you can get work and have an identity here, there are people that can help with that (if you want to know who I'll let you know). And there's a complex that displaced people stay at that I'll give you the address to if you want.

And no, I'm not dreaming, not joking, and everyone else would tell you the same.

I'm Cinderella, you can call me Cindy. Hi.

	...I know what the word means. ~~Cinderella? Yeah, okay~~ Rikki. It does sound pretty strange, but like I said, I'm used to strange. So, I open the cooler door in Australia and now I'm in America? How does that even work? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I said "displaced" not displaced, because that's what the woman at the internet cafe said, complete with those condescending finger quotations. ...you're hilarious. Likewise, I guess. I'm gonna get fired. I need that job. My dad needs me to have that job. ~~I know all about magic, yeah...~~ Magic? K... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They're the same thing here. People who get seal-napped are the displaced.

This is a new thing, apparently. I wasn't before.

Probably won't make you feel any better, but generally (from what I gather) people who are taken aren't missed. Things don't continue without you. Some people get sent back right where they were taken from. So, don't think you have to worry.

	Great. I...don't know how to feel about that... This computer says it's March 8, 2012...um. So that leaves me with two unrelated but equally important questions: 1. What happened to the rest of 2012 and all of 2011? 2. When is the next full moon? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know. Was in your shoes once upon a time. Yeah, tonight. You might want to filter this post in the subject bar against Evil including Moriarty and Katherine. And I can give you the complex address if you want it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justaddh2o 2012-03-09 03:55 am UTC (link)
	I guess I should. I don't filter myself. Like ever. Not going to start now, but thanks for the tip. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	spyerella 2012-03-09 03:59 am UTC (link)
	This isn't about filtering what you say. This is about keeping people that will hurt or kill you from getting information that can help them. And yeah, you say things that can help them no matter how unimportant you think what you're saying is. We literally just had a group of kids get kidnapped and tortured by demons.

	Forgive my asking but, why so curious about the full moon? Are you a werewolf ~~too~~? [pretend this was right after the comment. Because going in early to work sucks] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, that's really okay. I'm good, but thanks. You're pretty much an open book, aren't you? I mean, going around telling people you don't even know something like that. Kind of a big deal to be sharing with strangers, isn't it? ~~You're either crazy or even more fearless than me and that's saying a l~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~You're a werewolf, I'm a mermaid. We should be buddies~~ Yeah? I'm not. [Werewolf girl] So you probably keep pretty close tabs on the full moon, huh? Think I could trouble you to keep me in the loop until I get accustomed to the time difference? This is like...14 or 15 hours earlier than what I'm used to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Nice to meet you too.

I have a question. One you don't have to answer at all, but I'm curious. Why are you so interested in the full moon if you aren't a werewolf? Granted it's beautiful to look at on a clear night but I get a feeling it's more than that. Again, you don't have to share, but I'd like to help you however I can if possible. Arriving here is very...unsettling.

	Oh, there's this app on there called Star Walk. One of the features it has is it tells you when a full moon is. According to it the next one is the night of April 6. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
