Bit odd this place. Then again they just keep getting odder and odder, yeah? Still Mickey would be jealous just about now. S'ppose a bit more exploring couldn't hurt but first--

[A pause as the sound of button pressing can be heard along with echoing footsteps.]

Alright really odd. No signal. Hello, Control? Come in Control? Jake? Mickey? Anyone?

[missrosetyler]

And I was kind of being rude without a proper introduction. Got sort of lost in this place.

Los Angeles? Must be nice. Good ole weather and movie stars, yeah?

I'm from London, England, originally.

[voice]

[anunluckypenny]

You just dropped in from another dimension, Rose; no one's gonna get after you for forgetting little things like that.

[pause] The weather's nice alright. I've never seen a movie star, though... I don't exactly live in the same place as famous people do.

Ooh, London. Do you mind if I ask what it's like there?

[voice]

[missrosetyler]

Thank you, Penny.

Oh? So what do you do back home?

[Rose pauses for a moment before going on.]

It's okay, I guess. I mean a bit different too, you can say. We've got zeppelins. And sometimes odd things happen from time to time.

[voice]

[anunluckypenny]

Not a problem.

Do? Um... I used to do a lot with charities. Homeless shelters, soup kitchens, animal rights groups, stuff like that. Now I don't do anything there since I sort of died. It's complicated.

Odd things? You'll feel right at home here.

[voice]

[missrosetyler]

[ooc: Sorry for the delay.]

Charities? Well that's nice--

Died? But you're...here, yeah? Hold on so does this mean this is like...

[She doesn't want to say it but she's thinking it...What if something went wrong with the dimension hopper...]

I'm all about complicated though.

Hopefully not too at home. Sort of have a team back where I'm from waiting. Probably worried right about now.

[voice]

[anunluckypenny]

[ooc: Not to worry! Backtagging is forever.]

Death's not exactly a permanent thing here. I mean, I died at home, but no one stays dead in the City. Not for long.

Oh, don't worry about people at home! Time freezes or something. When you go back home, you'll be right where you were without any City memories, just like you were never gone at all.

[voice]

[missrosetyler]

[ooc: Yaya!]

Well that's different. ...I'm sorry to hear it.

Interesting bit of information there. So no real damage to the universe then? Odd.

[voice]

[anunluckypenny]

It's okay. I'm over it.

[Okay, now she's confused.]

Damage to the universe? Is the universe supposed to be damaged?

[voice]

[missrosetyler]

Still sorry.

[A pause.]

Well I mean that's not normal, yeah? Time freezing. There's gotta be some ripple effect to it. Maybe the whole stars blinking out bit is part of that.

There hasn't been any of that here has there?

[voice]

[anunluckypenny]

[There's a long pause. Penny doesn't really get all of this space-time interdimensional stuff.]

I guess it's not normal, but no one notices time freezing, so maybe it doesn't matter? I haven't noticed any blinking stars or anything.

[voice]

[missrosetyler]

Maybe.

[Although Rose isn't really sure.]

Well at least that's good. I think.

[voice]

[anunluckypenny]

I definitely think so.

...I hope so, anyway.

[voice]

[missrosetyler]

Yeah.

So, can you recommend any really nice places to visit?

[voice]

[anunluckypenny]

Oh! Yeah, sure. You could start with the Blue Light. It's the nicest place to get food and a drink around here. Here...

[She digs around in her pocket and offers Rose some colorful coins.]

I know it looks like fake money, but everyone accepts it here. This should be enough to get a meal, okay? After that, you can always come to the Welcome Center for food until you have a job or something.
