It's a waste, but curiosity always gets the better of me in the end. Honestly, it's pathetic. I ought to know better.

On the off chance that any of you have tips for how to get out of here, I'd love to hear them.

Generally one gets out the same way you came in.

[as_damaged]

I'm not quite sure how I did, so that's not much help.

[evolutionsbitch.livejournal.com]

They're called anomalies. They have a habit of popping up in the most inconvenient places. I take it yours closed before you could get back through.

[as_damaged]

If that's how you want to look at it.

[evolutionsbitch.livejournal.com]

This isn't my first time through. Though I admit, I've never landed in any place like this before. You're lucky - you might have landed in the Permian.

[as_damaged]

I know where I am; we call it the City. I don't mean to be rude, but-- this place might not be what you think it is.

Well, a number of methods have been tried, but, unless great leaps have been made in our collective attempts to escape the City, there's nothing certain. Correlations, yes, but nothing more.

[as_damaged]

Correlations?

[somekindofsin.livejournal.com]

Yes, correlations. You haven't read about them? No, don't answer that--I don't imagine my notes are even in circulation. I would be more than happy to discuss what I know with you, however, provided no one eats me.

Not to impose, miss, but would you know of any... er, secure buildings that guests might stay in?

I think the Welcome Center has cots set up, on occasions like this, for overnight visitors.

...Do you expect to be eaten?

audio;

[somekindofsin.livejournal.com]

That's all well and good, but I'm afraid their open door policy might not be all that conducive to my survival. And yes, I fully expect to be eaten, thank you. If that happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you anything at all.

Who's making the threats?

[Video]

The video feed shows what appears to be a store. Before you can get a good look at it, though, a boy, friendly and smiling, pops up.

[She blinks in momentary confusion at that. Cameron's willing to bet this is a bust. Still, asking can't hurt, right?]

Do you know how to get out of the City?

[Video]

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

He smiles at her. A pause. And now an older man and a girl enter the feed, she speaks to her next.

[as_damaged]

I don't think I need any videos.

1/4

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

They totally must have heard you. You were very clear on the matter.

The man goes towards the back, and returns with a video.

He pops in the tape.

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

The video feed now focuses on the television with the tape. It shows what is clearly the same boy and girl from the store, except they're dressed up. The boy is dressed up in a shirt, suit, no tie, and a cane, while the girl is in a fairly standard medical coat, with some important looking badge attached, and a clipboard with a file. They are mostly staring at the camera, and instead of speaking how they were a moment ago, they speak almost robotically.



Upon closer examination, the father is on the floor, with what looks like powder all over his face.

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

He turns and lightly shoves the girl, who reacts very over-the-top and nearly falls down.

4/5

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

She moves as though going to leave, but the boy holds her back.



She bends down to whisper in the patient's ear, , and then she thumps twice on his chest, much like one would to a faulty television.

He sits straight up,

And as it ends, they all look at the camera, grinning.

[keepingoddhours.livejournal.com]

I can take you outta this world, m'am.

[as_damaged]

Is that so.

[keepingoddhours.livejournal.com]

Old Severen's got all the right moves like a rocket.

[as_damaged]

Charming.

[keepingoddhours.livejournal.com]

I got a ticket with your name on it?
