[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!]

Typing just isn't good enough for this-]
You did what?!

Jumped back in time- it's a thing that I do. But apparently it either doesn't work out so well here or the past pretty much looks like the present. Only foggier and more apocalyptic.

[She's just way more interested in that than the other City version.]

[Lips twist in the slightest hint of confusion.]
As a Knight of Time, I think I am pretty qualified to engage in all kinds of time shenanigans.

how to become a master of time
how to rip holes through the fabric of time and be back by tea time
volumes of tomes and grimoires have been dedicated to explaining the intricacies of time travel

And reveal my darkest research? How the hell do I know you're not gonna use it for evil.

How can I use it for anything if it doesn't even work here, idiot?

[It doesn't.]
Now are you gonna cough up any real information or not?

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

[And honestly, she'd been pretty surprised that it happened to someone else.]

[Eyeroll behind his shades.]
They still here?
Re: video;
If he's interested in hearing it, maybe I'll let him know about you.

Okay, I don't know how my time shit works, it just does. If I think about it too much, I'd just end up fucking things up, so I don't.
video;
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!
