[As soon as it becomes apparent that the City is more crowded than usual, Justin does what is, for him, the unthinkable: he makes a post. There's no deliberation, no planning, none of the typical reluctance to interact with the world outside of his very small comfort zone.

Just a rushed public service announcement.]

If you haven't been here before, this is the City. It's difficult to explain and you likely won't be here long enough for an explanation to matter. Stay calm. You'll only be here for a day or two.

If you have been here before, try to set a decent example.

[But that's not the real reason for this post.]

Euphie? Are you here?


[ooc: Fourth wall post! Very much open, even if your name isn't Euphie. Absolutely anything goes, including face twins/movie spoilers/telling Justin he's a fictional character. Hit him up on the network or feel free to run into him somewhere in the City.]

Would you do that? Stay calm?

[othersdie]

I would. It's difficult to think clearly while panicking.

[moonlighting]

What if you hadn't been thinking clearly before?

I mean.

When I've woken up somewhere I wasn't and I don't know why, I probably got there by not thinking clearly.

[There's a small hand on the camera and it leaves a smudge behind when a bigger hand pulls it away. If you can recognize the owner of the bigger hand, you win a prize, Justin.]

I thought we had an understanding that I didn't know what decent meant.

[The voice is lot more recognizable than the hand. Maybe. Unless he's wrong or the City is playing a trick or this is only someone who sounds like--]

Angela?

[artsyfartsybaby]

Has it been that long?

[For her, over a year. Almost three. Still Justin, don't make her come there and hug you until you remember her.]

[As soon as she arrived she started searching for Justin. She smiles when he hears him calling for her even if there is a layer of sadness underneath—one that reminds her just how long he's been waiting even if the passage of time is very different for her. She doesn't waste any time in replying though. They only have so much.]

Justin, I'm here!

[video]

[othersdie]

[It has been a long time (shortened somewhat by substance abuse, not that he'll tell Euphie that), and Justin isn't inclined to waste time, either.]

I thought you'd come. Where are you? I'll meet you.

[prettyimpulsive]

I'm glad I did. [So happy to see him.] I'm just outside the welcome center.

[Cassie is sitting a cafe, nursing a Coke and flipping through a device she found on the ground. She stops, shocked, when she sees Justin's post.]

So. I guess you got your second chance.

[othersdie]

[What.]

[othersdie]

[She can't be here.]

[othersdie]

[Fuck, he doesn't have any facial expressions for this.]

video; done!

[othersdie]

No thanks to you.

[It's a very careful monotone. He doesn't want to let her know just how many nightmares she has starred in or how much, when he has too much time to think, he wishes he had let her die.]

[Creepy little fuck. Cassie slurps her soda loudly like she doesn't give a shit.]

Let me guess. You gave the judge big, sad pathetic eyes and told him you were the real victim of an evil, evil alpha male.

[notfuckingcasper]

So what? You're gonna start an introduction then half ass it?

[othersdie]

Yes.

[He has priorities.]

[notfuckingcasper]

And then what? Get pissy that people ask you questions?

[Once a bully, always... And it's too bad because they may be alike more ways than they would ever care to admit.]

[whenyouneed]

I would like the explanation anyway.

[This woman is far too pregnant to be Carla, bro.]

[othersdie]

[And yet everything else about her is very Carla.]

It's an interdimensional nexus controlled by beings who call themselves deities.

[whenyouneed]

[Her school is run by an alien who has similar delusions, and so it makes Impetus wonder.]

What is a deity, by the definition of these beings?

[beifongbandit]

Geez, you haven't gotten any less serious. Lighten up. No one's dying right now.

[othersdie]

I can't do that. It's good to see you, Toph.

[hatedbyfanboys]

The City still the same as when I left?

[othersdie]

More or less. Have you missed it, Raiden?
