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.

I couldn't not. ...Audio

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

Audio; it's the lure of insect women

[synanthrope]

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.

Audio; Xander will not agree with that

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

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?

Audio;

[synanthrope]

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

I'm Saya.

Most people are, I'm afraid, when they first arrive here. Er--that is, you have just arrived, haven't you? If you'll pardon my asking?

[synanthrope]

I have. By minutes, at least.

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

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

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. Well, I'm afraid you're right that this isn't your New York at all. It's a place called the City.

[synanthrope]

Are you in a rush?

[synanthrope]

The City.

Tick-tock.

It sounds familiar.

Audio;

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

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.

LOST.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB.

Audio;

[synanthrope]

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

Parallel, wouldn't that imply another New York?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's the ticking you're hearing. It's because you're alone, you see--you only hear it when you're by yourself, the sound of the clock beneath the City. Are you near a fountain, at the moment? That's where most people usually end up, when they first arrive here.

I'm not used to being in clubs.

Hello.

[synanthrope]

Yes, I am.

What's your name?

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

You're found!

[synanthrope]

Not unless you've managed to catch me unawares.

I don't think so.

Audio;

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

Glad you understand what doesn't make sense?

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

Audio;

[synanthrope]

How did you get here?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh, rats, that's right, I do always forget to introduce myself. I'm sorry. Hello, I'm Rosella, and it's very nice to meet you.

[synanthrope]

Rosella.

Hello, Rosella. I'm Saya.

Audio;

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

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

Hi, new person. ]
