[ A WILD DARCY APPEARS. One that still has her awesome glasses on, with that look that she totally perfected in the mirror; y'know, the cool and thoughtful that makes you wish she can give that look just by glancing at you.

Or so she wishes, anyway. Chances are it's the kind of look that gives you the desire to say, Young lady, why don't you give me a cappuccino, double stirred and extra creme?

This, she knows. But whatever, it's not like she's their intern, is she? And there's something else different here as well. Different as in Twilight-Zone-slash-Burmuda Triangle weird. Doo doo doo dum doo doo, as the theme song goes.

So there's a network she can make posts to, like a live video version of Facebook. She can totally do Facebook. She can do Facebook like Anonymous can do the government's stash of Macs. ]

What's with the ticking noise?

[ That's the most important thing. ]

I thought I was in New Mexico. Pretty sure, like 99 percent of my time. I am holding the remaining one percent on reserve in the case I really am dreaming, 'cause my life gotten a little weird before all this happened.

[ That's the second most important thing. ]

This is definitely not New Mexico.

[ Thinking she got her bases covered, she's gonna wait for her answers. ]

Remove yourself from any vehicle.

Cast your lightning weapon aside.

And know that you are misplaced, but among friends.

[ seriously, that has to be the quickest acceptance of a friend, and Darcy is the master of Facebook. ]

Really? You got over me tasing you that quickly?

Is Jane here?

[lupusalpha]

You're not dreaming.

[butmyipod]

[ woah, hot guy alert!!! ]

You sure about that?

[lupusalpha]

I'm sure about it.

[asofwar]

I know you.

video; SO AM I

[butmyipod]

[ ... ok this is weird. ]

I'm trying to remember you but if you were in that one party a year ago in New Mexico, I can't help you. I barely remember it myself.

No, not from a celebration. [Well. Kind of not. There was some rejoicing done, but not a lot of it.]

You were with Thor, on Midgard.

[What's a New Mexico, and what happened to the old one?
...riight, Rapunzel can at least answer the ticking question.]

The ticking is...well, I don't know why it happens, but it goes away when you're with people!

[butmyipod]

[ Darcy is not sure either, to be honest. ]

I hate to be a hermit then.

So what's is this place?

[immortal_machine]

No, this is not New Mexico, this is the City. And since that means nothing to you, scan the Network for a while and look around you and you will see that you have arrived into a budding war zone.

[butmyipod]

I skimmed over it because I don't understand what is going on.

Help a girlfriend and give me the 101 as to why this place is a war zone.

[ She's got her taser ready and everything. ]

Worry not, sweet lady! You are very much awake- unless you'd rather be asleep, in which case I suppose you can worry if you really wish to. I'd advise against it, however. Worrying causes premature wrinkles, you know.

There's always Botox.

[doeswhathewants]

New Mexico... America, yes? Well, Miss America, the ticking goes away in company. I could help you out if you like?

[ Aw, what a cute kid. Too bad Darcy has to put him down gently, she does have her own standards, and one of which not stringing underage boys around. ]

Don't worry, I think I found a pet store nearby.

[skintoskin]

[Have a Neil, who is bored, and therefore, adding his two cents.]

It looks like you've found a friend, though his explanations are a little weird...

[butmyipod]

Which one? I have many friends who don't make a lick of sense.

[yourbestguysgun]

Not New Mexico. Can't figure out why anyone'd want to be there any how.

( v i d e o )

[butmyipod]

It's where I work. It's not the place I would live there myself. Too desert-y.

[ The face is familiar, even if he's never met her up close and personal - not that he would have an issue with that, of course, but still - a photo from a file, a glance from a distance, a name on a report. He really should stop breaking into things he doesn't exactly have permission to access if he ever gets out of here. ]

It's bad, but it's not that. [ And that's before he experienced his first extraterrestrials, which wasn't as great as he hoped it would be. ] And the ticking kinda grows on you after a while.
