[Amanda's sitting at a bench with a notebook in one hand. She looks around abruptly to observe all the people milling about.]

I could've sworn the other day it wasn't this crowded. It is a little worrisome.


[ooc: Basically anything goes, even doubles and whatnot. Back tagging is love. Have at it. :D]

Think you have a few strays coming in, sweetheart.

Re: video;

Strays you say? And what's your name?

[ He grins toothily and ducks his front paws into an exaggerated bow. ] Abraham De Lacy Guiseppe Casey Thomas O'Malley. The alley cat. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

[Amanda just stares or a moment at the screen. There's an expression of amazement and disbelief.]

That's a mouth full.

Very polite. Never knew cats could talk.

You can call me Tom. [ He twitches his tail flirtatiously. Yep. ]

You must not have met the right cats, my dear lady.

Tom. Okay then, Tom. Nice to meet you.

[Tucks some hair behind her ears.]

Well I guess you could say that. So tell me, where do you hail from?

Oh, here and there. [ He licks a paw. ] I've crossed the globe and haven't been bored yet.

That's quite interesting. And what sort of places have you been to?

I was taking a stroll to Paris when I caught a ride to this lovely City.

Re: video;

Paris? That sounds quite lovely. I've never been there.

[badgeandgauntlet]

Worrisome is a great way to start.

[most_qualified]

At least the ticking is gone, but still...

Are you new here?

Your name's Amanda, right?

Don't worry, it's just a curse. I keep hearing that it's kind of a regular thing and people from anywhere can visit the City.

Re: video;

Hello again, Penny. Yes. How are you doing?

And then they just go away? That's...So there has to be some form of way out then.

Me? I'm okay. I mean, I should probably deal with problems instead of ignoring them until they drive me crazy, but it's hard to stay down when so many people care. That meant a lot that you talked to me, y'know. Thank you.

Yep--they just disappear. You'd think there'd be a way out, but everyone I've talked to says people who're here for the long haul don't get to leave.

Re: video;

That's good to hear. Sometimes distractions can work for a little while. You probably shouldn't think on them so much. But I can understand that. I'm glad that I was able to help, Penny.

That's very odd.

[anunluckypenny]

If I can ever return the favor, let me know, okay?

Everything here's kind of odd, isn't it? Maybe there's a reason people come and go the way they do that makes more sense than curses and things, but I wouldn't know what it could be.

Re: video;

[most_qualified]

I will do so. Thank you.

Extremely odd. I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything.

Perhaps but it would be interesting to find out that reason.

It'd be really interesting, but I kind of like just calling it all "magic" and not worrying too much about it. It keeps everything mysterious and exciting, you know?
