Lots of people around today. Is this normal?

It happens every so often. Loads of people come in. And then THEY vanish.

[child_radical]

It's normal and it happens several times over the course of a year.

[pratentious]

I'd say this is anything but.

[ Magic. Magic everywhere it is on his skin. ]

[drinkslikeanan]

don't suppose it's any weirder than the other shit that goes on round 'ere.

[drinkslikeanan]

Right. Thanks for that, mate.

[drinkslikeanan]

You alright, mate?

[pratentious]

[ ...He really ought to say something about that, 'mate,' but strange world, strange people. Possibly not the place, Arthur. ]

Never better. What's a bit of magical kidnapping to foul up my day, right?

[drinkslikeanan]

Far as I've been told, you lot are just 'ere for the weekend. Rest of us are a lot more stuck.

[pratentious]

...What, you mean - you're to be kept past the week's end? Indefinitely?

[charring]

It's pretty tame when compared to anything else that occurs.

[drinkslikeanan]

That's the way it works, yeah. You just showed up?

[pratentious]

I was tossed rather unceremoniously into the fountain just a few hours ago, yeah. And yourself?

voice;

[invisibilities]

I don't think so.

audio;

[awkwards]

Is anything fucking normal?

[ ... ]

Maybe we can find a way out of here.

[drinkslikeanan]

I heard that happens to the new guys.

voice;

[drinkslikeanan]

Right. Run into anyone interesting?

audio;

[drinkslikeanan]

Do you think so?

voice

[peaceonearth]

You tell me, Bucko.

voice

[drinkslikeanan]

I haven't been here too long.

video;

[relocate]

I dunno. Is it normal for someone who's dead to show up?

[ idk bitter much nikki. ]

voice

[peaceonearth]

And I've been here five minutes. Looks like we're both screwed.

audio;

[awkwards]

A way in means there has to be a way out, yeah?

audio;

[drinkslikeanan]

What's your plan?

voice

[drinkslikeanan]

Seems like you lot get home, at least.

video;

[drinkslikeanan]

Apparently it is. Sorry.

Have we met?

video;

[relocate]

[ the first person out of this gang to actually say so. ;; seth, you're a keeper. ]

I sold you my power on Christmas. I'd ask for it back, but, the situation doesn't allow it.

video;

[drinkslikeanan]

[The world's most considerate drug dealer.]

Right. You were with that lot.

audio;

[awkwards]

Didn't really get that far. Maybe latch onto someone and see if there's a portal or some shit they go through to get here.

[ she feels like an idiot after she says it. ]

audio;

[drinkslikeanan]

It's worth trying, yeah.

You seen anyone from home?

video;

[relocate]

By "that lot" you mean the ones who fuck up a lot? Yeah. I pulled the short straw on that day.

Powers kind of come in handy after all. Despite the big fact burden they carry.

[ incomplete orgasms! she'd like to have sex and not wind up somewhere else at the end of it, thank you very much. ]

audio;

[awkwards]

[ alisha shakes her head. ]

Besides you lot? I don't think The City is a big fan of us.

You?

video;

[drinkslikeanan]

Sorry. Again. I just buy and sell them.

audio;

[drinkslikeanan]

Saw that girl Curtis was with. The one who died.

video;

[relocate]

You should probably work on that.

Guess you can't sell them to the dead? Or people who happen to appear in a strange city temporarily?

audio;

[awkwards]

Nikki?

[ how she misses her and her bluntness. she made curtis so happy ;; etc etc. ]

Shit. Is she alright?

video;

[drinkslikeanan]

Doesn't work on the dead. Haven't tried with any people 'ere.

audio;

[drinkslikeanan]

Apart from being dead?

video;

[relocate]

You'd make a fortune here. People are desperate for power.

[ she'd know. ]

Is the whole gang here?

audio;

[awkwards]

[ alisha rolls her eyes. ]

Well, obviously.

Nathan could see the dead before he sold his power. Being dead isn't the end, according to him.

voice

[peaceonearth]

Oh goody. Looking forward to that.

voice;

[invisibilities]

No one from home.
