one.

Wow, okay, lets start with how there are a lot of you on here. I mean, okay, this whole stuck-in-an-alternate-reality-where-we-are-all-allegedly-fictional thing is apparently pretty popular, or, you know, whatever it was that dragged all of us here is pretty powerful. Short of being able to go home I guess all the indications are getting settled is the way to go so, hi, I'm Billy. We can just pretend I gave the obligatory paragraph and a half about how I really need to go home as if that'll make that happen.

Is there anything they didn't tell me that I need to know? I am all ears. Or just saying hi, that works too! No better way to get into a new universe you're stuck in without getting to know the other kidnapees, right?

[The New Brew was clean and modern inside, with a lot of open space, checkered floors and mirrored tables and baristas wearing tailored suits making it a little surreal, given that from the outside it was just a small annex on the side of a warehouse with a small sign and imposing tinted windows.

Tim's standing behind the counter, where there's a row of barstools to one side of the cash register, and he looks up with a smile as Billy comes in. It's a little forced - Billy never got along with him, at least, not the last version of him. But that was a while ago, and he's changed since then.]


Hey. Welcome to the New Brew. Come and have a seat, you can take your time ordering. We're open late this evening.

'Coffee, tea, chai, or rooibos' is too long to make a good sales pitch. No lattes or mixed beverages, but everything else is fair game.

Coming right up!

[It's a simple enough order that he can make it on autopilot.]

So. I've been here longer than almost anyone else. If you've got any questions, I can answer them - but by now you probably know you can just ask Kate, too, so I'm probably a little superfluous.

[He pauses, making eye contact, serious.]

... Yeah. An average of about one every five days, clustered at the beginning or end of the month. At any given time there are between eighty and a hundred and fifty of us on the island, compared to about fifteen thousand so-called nonfictionals.

... All kinds of ideas. But no proof. The kind of equipment we'd need for anything definitive would take resources nobody here's got.
detectivewonder: (overlook you know)

[personal profile] detectivewonder 2014-02-14 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably not. But I'm not familiar with what you did and didn't try last time you were here.
detectivewonder: (look up challenging)

Magic's always a factor it's hard to rule out, because the laws of metaphysics seem to change from day to day and place to place.

If you want to run a few experiments, I'm game. Although we should check with Kate and make sure we're not covering old ground.

Believe me, I know.
detectivewonder: by derogatory (I agree)

That's one way to put it.

We, uh... she and I dated on and off for six months or so.
detectivewonder: (cheesy)

Well, uh, I got dumped, but it was a no-hard-feelings thing, it was almost a year ago, and we're still friends. And it was a pretty cool six months.
