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.

In general, nobody knows the how.

I like secrets.

Is your name one?

Audio;

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

Secrets can be - um, fun, I guess.

Oh. Nah. It's Xander.

Are you a resident here?

Audio;

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

You could call me a resident.

Audio;

[synanthrope]

What else could I call you?

Audio;

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

I guess Mr. Harris?

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

[synanthrope]

You're not very bright, are you?

Audio;

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

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.

[synanthrope]

...those are coordinates, Xander.

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

Audio;

[synanthrope]

Yes.

Audio;

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

Welcome Center's right near there.

Audio;

[synanthrope]

Sounds charitable.

Audio;

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

It sounds helpful. Which it is.

Audio;

[synanthrope]

Perhaps for some.

You can't form an opinion until you've experienced it.

Audio;

[synanthrope]

I haven't experienced a homeless shelter but I know I do not need one.

Audio;

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's...not that.

[synanthrope]

The purpose is essentially the same.
