What's this?

Tick-tock, tick tock. I hear a clock but I don't see one.

I don't know where I am, and that's not particularly common. But it does seem very...I don't think familiar is the right term. Although it feels that, too. Interesting.

This isn't New York.

Hello. I'm lost.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Hello? Are you alright? This is the City. Where are you?

Alright? I'm not hurt, if that's what you're asking.

The City.

[There's a pause, and then she continues]

Nearby a fountain.

You're in the main square. And I'm glad you're not hurt. I uh, can't get to you but if I can help, I will. What's your name?

Square, and a fountain. This isn't New York.

I'm Saya.

Yes, square. It's City. The City. It's um, a long story but it's definitely not New York.

Are you in a rush?

No. Ripping down drywall. I'm just in a - an action? Does that make sense? Sorry. No rush here. [He stops, letting out a breath.] Essentially, the City is a pocket dimension. Parallel to yours but it's comforting that you have a New York. I half expect you to have a Panem.

No, that doesn't make sense, but I understand what you mean regardless.

Parallel, wouldn't that imply another New York?

Glad you understand what doesn't make sense?

On the one hand, yes. But, on the other, no? Maybe alternate is a better term.

How did you get here?

Rolled out of bed. I just kind of -- wasn't here one minute and then I was the next.

I see.

In general, nobody knows the how.

I like secrets.

Is your name one?

Secrets can be - um, fun, I guess.

Oh. Nah. It's Xander.

Are you a resident here?

You could call me a resident.

What else could I call you?

I guess Mr. Harris?

[He's distracted again and that went right over his head.]

You're not very bright, are you?

Huh?

[Another beat and the sound of plaster ripping can be heard. Not that...she can see...but he's wiping his forehead.]

I'm bright enough. Just pre-occupied. Um, I'm not a citizen although I might as well be. And I guess, since I live here, I am a resident.

I shouldn't distract you.

I want to help. Just, not ... oh! I can send you the welcome guide. Here: the Welcome Guide. (http://community.livejournal.com/citywelcomesyou/) [Which is actually the coordinates to the Welcome Center but he's new and not so technologically inclined that he knows what he's doing...] The Welcome Guide is very helpful.

...those are coordinates, Xander.

...OH! I you said you're by the fountain though, right?

I couldn't not. ...Audio

Audio; it's the lure of insect women

Audio; Xander will not agree with that
