ｏｎｅ. AUDIO - day 84

[tooeasily]

I've woken decades later to find myself in the future from when I had 'slept', but waking after travelling backwards in time is new to me.

Or is this place simply so deprived of technology that it only seems to be archaic?

I suppose I survived without cellphones before. I can learn to adapt again.

Down to the real business of it all, though. [ Her voice turns a little more stern at this. ] Which one of you removed the dagger from my stomach? And how exactly do we get out of here? Don't tell me we can't, I already got it from that thing on my wrist that is trying to be a communication device in the most basic of ways. If there is a way into this place, then there's a way out. And I am not staying her any longer than it takes to get out.

[Mina's voice is prim, although a good ear might note that her accent is somewhat affected. She also sounds torn between amused and confused.]

I'm sorry, dear. Did you just say there was a dagger in your stomach?

[tooeasily]

[ If Rebekah were to try enough she might even recognize the accent but she's still a little grumpy. ]

No, I said there were butterflies.

Of course I said dagger. Nothing else would have me this pissed off.

[primogen_vampirate]

You seem remarkably conscious for someone with a belly wound.

[tooeasily]

I would have asked for help if I were wounded.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I know you said not to tell you there's no way to get out of here... but there's no way to get out of here.

Audio

[tooeasily]

You're climbing high on my list of people I dislike already.

There has to be a way out. We got in.

Re: Audio

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Sorry to hear that.

[Not really.]

Look, we all said pretty much the same stuff when we arrived. Truth is, none of us know how we got here, except that we are here, and we're stuck here, and we're being watched every second of every day.

[intelligently]

What about 'we don't know'? [ She doesn't know the way out but Lydia doesn't like that tone, it usually means bad things ] Everyone says there's no way out but people have left before. Sometimes they come back, and don't ask me why they would. I wouldn't. [ Okay, she has but that wasn't optional and she didn't remember even being here before ]

video.

[tooeasily]

[ She was about to get pissed at the 'we don't know' answer, but then she goes on about the coming back part and she stops and thinks. ]

At least it's a start. I wonder if it would be possible to witness someone returning. Or entering for the first time.

video.

[intelligently]

If you're around long enough you'll probably hear about it. You might need luck to be in the right place when they get there, though. [ Which she doesn't think there's much of here ]

[hung_garian]

Oh, how dare that big old meanie have done such an awful thing as probably saving your life? You let me know when you find them, sugar, I'm sure we'll all want to gather round and watch as you take your well-deserved vengeance.

[tooeasily]

I never said I was after vengeance, but please. Do go on as if you understand what I am after. I could use the laugh.

[hung_garian]

If it's a laugh you want, I recommend the bar. We've got more alcoholics here than you can shake a stick at, and if you get there before they start throwing up I'm sure they'll be suitably entertaining.

[tryingitall]

Oh, you're a charmer. I can already tell you'll be fun.

Do us all a favor, love. If you decide to try and fight your way out, make sure you choose a method that won't destroy the entire town when you fail, all right?

video

[tooeasily]

[ She's about to answer but---


Her face turns into a snarl. ]

What. The. Hell are you doing here?!

Re: video

[tryingitall]

[He looks utterly taken aback by this reaction. Other than siblings, the only people he can imagine being so angry to see him are one or two poorly thought-out affairs conducted in the first weeks after his fall. He squints, fairly convinced he doesn't recognize this girl, then answers slowly,]

At the moment, I'm having a nice glass of scotch...? None of us asked to end up here, you know.

I'm sorry, have we met?

[video]

[happytobleed]

We're trapped for the foreseeable future, but it seems many of us have been taken from different times and maybe even different worlds, so I'm not sure if this is your past or your future.

What are you?

[ Castiel is as blunt as ever, but in his defense that question hasn't managed to make anyone angry at him yet. ]

[video]

[tooeasily]

[ Well that was a blunt question.

But being the elitist she is she answers honestly. ]

I'm a vampire. And a rather powerful one, so I do not see myself being trapped anywhere for very long.

Different worlds? That's a concept I've not come across. Not a proven one at least.

[video]

[happytobleed]

It's the best guess a lot of us have got as to what's happening here.

[ He squints into the camera. ]

You should know that even being a powerful vampire won't get you out. We've got more powerful creatures than you trapped here.

[hexappeal]

For someone that had a dagger removed, you don't sound too happy about it.

audio;

[tooeasily]

I have certain questions I need to have answered about how I was found.

If I like the answers I might be more grateful. I can be a friend to those who are a friend to me.

audio;

[hexappeal]

I'm afraid much like everyone else here, I just showed up one day. I've been here a while, but not particularly long.

I can't answer the question about the dagger, but I can try to answer any others you may have.

video

[hellionated]

Yeah, that's what I said. [ Julian's voice is casual, his posture relaxed. His face smirking, because hi, you're hot and you're new and he likes all that posturing that you're doing. ]

Didn't stick, though. They're not kidding when they say there's no way out. There's a shield around the city. The word is they tried to nuke it and it still didn't break, so unless you're packing more power than that, sweetheart, I'd let it lie.

[ So, on to more important questions. He leans forward, interested. ] Why'd you have a knife in your gut?

video

[tooeasily]

If it were really a nuke this town would be leveled and the lands unable to produce. I think there have been exaggerations.

[ Smile of faked amusement. ] Because my brother's an arse.

video

[hellionated]

I might have been over-simplifying. I leave the science shit to other people.

[ He lifts his eyebrow. ]

Your brother tried to kill you?
