[ there's a man in a wheelchair looking most disgruntled ]

It's a creative kidnapping, I'll give it that. But quite frankly, it's just irksome. So I'd really appreciate it if someone could get me a ride back to New York.

In fairness, it's not like it's exactly difficult to steal a bloke in a wheelchair, is it?

[axiomed]

I hope you're not speaking from experience.

[reanimated]

What if I am?

[axiomed]

Well, then you're disturbing and I am appropriately disturbed.

[notvictorious]

That's a pretty good reaction to have with him.

[axiomed]

Lovely. Mouthy teenagers.

[reanimated]

Flattery gets you nowhere, wheels.

[axiomed]

Call me wheels again and I'll make you believe you're a unicorn for the rest of your life.

This is an island. Few humans own automobiles or boats and no humans own machines capable of flight. No one can give you a ride anywhere.

[axiomed]

Humans? Wait, so what other kind of people do we have here?

[justletmeknow]

Several inhabitants aren't native to earth, although most of them look rather human themselves.

[axiomed]

. . . Mutants?

[justletmeknow]

I can't say. If they're here, I haven't seen any identify that way.

[axiomed]

Thank you. That's . . . helpful. Somewhat.

Even if you could get to New York, it wouldn't be what you're expecting to find, I'd imagine. As far as I can tell, the people in the hospital are telling the truth. I just got here pretty recently as well.

[axiomed]

They're telling me I'm a fictional character.

[boswellblogger]

I know. That part I can't be so sure about, it's hard to believe I'm fictional to anyone, but I do think this is some sort of alternate universe. Nothing else makes any more sense.

[axiomed]

Alternate universe. Let me guess, this is the future?

[boswellblogger]

Not to my knowledge? Then again, I may not be the one to ask. I've got a friend on the island who says I've been here before, only I don't remember being here before. Something about confused timelines.

[axiomed]

I'm from 1973. But I have some experience with timelines.

[notvictorious]

We're pretty much all kidnapped here, unfortunately.

[axiomed]

What for?

[notvictorious]

I'm working on a theory right now that's somewhere between secret government experimentation and time rifts. But it's kinda a work in progress.

[axiomed]

I'm really fucking done with time travel.

[notvictorious]

Yeah, I don't really have the greatest track record with it before here either.

I'm Victor.
