Video

[When the video turns on, it shows the inside of Andrew's apartment. Except when it swings around to show the face of whoever's recording the video, it's very much not the face people might be expecting. No, if this is Andrew, this is a very young and very confused Andrew, and he's staring into the screen like he's never seen this place before in his life -- which he hasn't, at least, not that he remembers.]

Where is this place?

[This wasn't where he'd fallen asleep last night, he remembers that much. In fact, it's actually slightly nicer than the last place he'd been, but it's still not right.]

I am not...

[A long sigh as he tries to conjure up the words he's looking for, and then a disgruntled expression as he switches to Russian.]

Does anyone here speak Russian?

[[OOC: Andrew has been de-aged to nineteen for this event and has no City memories, and thus, replies will come from [personal profile] buildtheimpossible . He'd also be much obliged if someone who spoke Russian wanted to talk to him.]]

Добро пожаловать в город. Кто-нибудь объяснил, где вы находитесь?

[He's pleasantly surprised at how many people here seem to speak his language.]

I've been told that it's called "The City", and that those who run it consider themselves gods of some kind, but very little else.

They missed the most important part: curses. They happen every few days. Sometimes they're not serious, and sometimes they're extremely dangerous. There's no way to avoid them, so you just have to be careful.

Am I to understand that these curses are random events? Can you provide any examples?
universaltranslator: Uhura bites her tongue (Annoyed: I can't even)

Well, I'm being stalked by an eagle, and a few days ago many people got their tongues stuck to random objects.

[He laughs, at first, because it sounds ridiculous, but slowly realizes that she's probably not joking.]

You can't be serious.
universaltranslator: Uhura looks coy (Flirty: Bedroom eyes)

[personal profile] universaltranslator 2013-01-27 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I am. Those are some of the nicer ones.
buildtheimpossible: (If you dig)

[personal profile] buildtheimpossible 2013-01-27 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
And what are some of the meaner ones, if I might ask?
universaltranslator: Uhura looks sad (Sad: Looking sadly)

There were zombies that looked like people you loved. They could only be killed by the people who cared about them.
buildtheimpossible: (All of the things that I've done)

[personal profile] buildtheimpossible 2013-01-28 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
What if you didn't love anybody?
universaltranslator: Uhura looks annoyed (Annoyed: God help me)

[personal profile] universaltranslator 2013-01-29 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I...don't know. Not everyone had a ghoul show up.

Strange. Did you?

[long silence]

Yes, I did.
