[The device falls with a clatter to the ground, some feet away but still very conveniently pointed at Dave who appearifies out of fucking nowhere, bent double with shades sliding down his nose and he's coughing pretty severely. It's been about half a day since he tried to travel back in time, only to end up in what seemed more like an alternate dimension than another point in the timeline.

Unlike the icon, there is no blood and his shades aren't broken, but he's having a hard time breathing correctly. He seems to be somewhere in the City, with buildings looming tall. He leans against the wall and tries to get his bearings.]


What... the fuck... was that.

[He pushes his shades further up his nose to obscure red, red eyes. One last shuddering breath before it evens. He then moves to grab his device, frowning at the blinking red light. Fuck he so did not look cool just now. But fuck if he even cares. He switches it back to text, trying to appear REMARKABLY CALM and POSSIBLY FAILING.]

so its awesome that in all the introductory pamphlets and shit no one thought it would be kind of critical to mention the fucking other city floating around
do i have to wait for city geography 201 or something before i can find out about the advanced goings on and local haunts
well fuck you too professor numbnuts


[ooc | Some background info: Dave attempted to go back in time. Specifically, back to "when the clock was first built." Obviously, he can't do that, so he ended up in the Shadow City!]

I think a better question is what did you do?
negativegate: (what's with that face?)

What do you mean, it's a thing you do? How?

[She's just way more interested in that than the other City version.]
negativegate: (are you done?)

And I mean do you even know anything about how it works? The theory, the method, anything like that?
negativegate: (blah blah blah)

If you're such an expert, then let's actually hear some of it.
negativegate: (I'ma kill you)

[Will do. |D]

How can I use it for anything if it doesn't even work here, idiot?
negativegate: (so in denial)

Sh-shut up! Of course it does!

[It doesn't.]

Now are you gonna cough up any real information or not?
negativegate: (totally...meant to do that)

[personal profile] negativegate 2012-09-07 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Idiot. You don't have a clue how it works, do you?
negativegate: (absolutely not!)

You don't sound like that much of a wuss to me.
negativegate: (are you done?)

[personal profile] negativegate 2012-09-11 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, right.

And by the way, you're not the only one who's been to that weirdo other City.
negativegate: (blah blah blah)

[personal profile] negativegate 2012-09-12 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmph...Well, not me, but I was working with someone else who did.

[And honestly, she'd been pretty surprised that it happened to someone else.]
negativegate: (totally...meant to do that)

Like you were any help, either!

If he's interested in hearing it, maybe I'll let him know about you.
negativegate: (absolutely not!)

[Rita only wishes she could feel smug about that. Instead, she's annoyed that it can't be explained.]

Huh? What kind of reason is that? Any idiot's more likely to mess something up if they don't know what they're doing!
