[ When the feed clicks on, there's only Ianto in the town center. He looks like he's just been running for his life - which technically, he had only moments ago. His face is bleeding and dingy as he searches his surroundings. While the scenery is currently different, and he's not being shot at, he's not taking a chance. Finally after a minute of fumbling, he speaks. The man's voice has a deep Welsh lit to it, and there is definitely a sense of confusion hidden somewhere in it.]

I - hello?

[ ... quietly, more of an observation to himself: ] This doesn't look like Cardiff anymore.

Right. I'm either very concussed - or this is the work of the Rift. I honestly think in this case I'd prefer the former. But with current luck standing the way it is...

[Sigh. He's still wary and alert, looking around for anything, but nothing is familiar here. No stinking pile of rubble where the Hub had been. Just an unfamiliar city.]

I'm gathering this is a phone of some sort, and someone is out there who can hear this - so I'd appreciate someone telling me where I am.

[ooc: so, Ianto is new and just arriving but hit him up with fourth wall stuff and confuse him even more if you want to. Duplicates. Face twins. Whatever. Just don't tell him he's fictional.]

A tear in time and space. How interesting. Have you ever been through that tear to worlds unknown?

'fraid not. It's not really something we can control, when and where we'd end up. Most of the time, things tend to get dropped on us.

Instability and uncertainty, neither viable for traveling between worlds.

Humanity is so surprising though, the way they continue to exist in spite of the tendency for things to get dropped on them. Perhaps if they weren't so curious about those rifts...

This is the City, pitiful name, unimaginative.

Not unless you're alright witty possibly ending up in the center of the sun or some unhabitable planet.

Exist we do. Although, you'd be surprised how many full scale attacks are explained by "hallucinogen in the water" or alien attacks by a bear. Most people are happy to leave the unknown unknown.

A whole other dimension and The City is the best name they can come up with?

There are worse things. Besides, what is life without a little adventure in the unknown?

Ah yes, easily manipulated is another prominent trait. As is deluded.

My sentiments exactly.

There's such thing as too much adventure and uncertainty, if you ask me. The two don't always work together well.
