Hello?

[There's a short pause.]

Look, I don't know what's going on, but I'm pretty sure this isn't somewhere I'm supposed to be, so if someone would care to explain... [Another pause follows, as well as a curt sigh.] My name is Robert Fischer. Assuming this place isn't another product of my subconscious, I would appreciate it if someone could tell me just what's going on. [Though something about his tone indicates that it wouldn't be so much appreciated as expected.] Thank you.

Where are you 'supposed' to be?

[ Oh Robert Fischer. Just when Arthur was settling into reality. Well. The more the merrier? ...if Arthur was any kind of merry...anyway he'll just...play this by textual ear for now. Cough. ]

Not here. [There's no reason not to be cautious.]

Obviously.

[ Second text, three seconds after: ]

You're not dreaming, if you're still wondering.

[ Easier said than believed, really he knows, but they've screwed around plenty with his head already. This place can take the reins, but no point in lying when everyone else will tell him otherwise. ]

[Oh.

That seems a little too pointed for him to trust.]

How am I supposed to believe that?

You don't have to. I didn't.

Depending on how long you're here, it might get easier or not.

But if you're lucky you'll just go back to where you're supposed to be.

Do you want the guide? It's outdated but it's better than nothing.

[ Because every non-dream that seems too ridiculous to be anything but a dream should come with one.

~~Even if it's...on livejournal...somewhere...~~ ]

[If he's lucky... No, that's far from something he likes the sound of. But he doesn't have much choice at the moment.]

What guide?

The guide for the City. That's where you are.

Before you ask, I don't know who named it that or why. It could be worse though.

[ Imagine living in a place called...Joe....or something. Yeah no he'll stick with City. ]

["The City." Right.]

How could it be *worse*?

Any number of people names, for starters. Expletives. Etc.

Worse.

That's ridiculous.

[But even so.] Send me the guide.

So is 'City', but a lot less awkward when saying 'I live in-'.

Three parts.

[ All parts are ICly sent through as actual text attachments, not images, they've just been stored as images OOCly derp... ]

PART A, PART B, PART C

Take a... take a seat, Mr. Fischer.

None of us are where we're supposed to be. Welcome to the City.

Only "pretty sure"?

Product of your subconscious?

I'm pretty sure every resident here wishes this were just their imagination so, hey. You already have something in common with the rest of us. Same goes for being somewhere you're not supposed to be.
