[A strange face appears close to the screen, as Johnny inspects it. The face and hair are scraggly and snow white, and light blue eyes with no pupils blink as he puzzles over this device. He pulls back after a moment, muttering to himself at first.]

This is some real trippy Minority Report shit right here.

Uh. So. I ain't totally convinced this isn't a dream yet, but I guess I'm supposed to be introducing myself. My name's Johnny D'Amico. I don't really have time to stick around here 'n' play action movie super hero, so if anyone has found a way for people to leave yet, that would be great. If not... can someone tell me what's really goin' on here, or what I need to do? Otherwise I'm gonna hit the kitchen for now.

Oh yeah. Is there like, a list of people who live here or anythin'? Cuz I'm looking for someone.

Ah, look at that! You know something I don't, and I know something you don't. I wonder why that is?

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

You passed vocab class? Hurray for you, nerd!

[huntedfang.livejournal.com]

Not quite.

Troubadour are common where I come from. The fact that you haven't heard of them...it's quite troubling. I'm genuinely worried here.

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you sound it. Why, where are you from?

[huntedfang.livejournal.com]

I'm from here or there. That isn't important. Where are you from?

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

Why am I gonna tell you if you ain't gonna tell me?

[huntedfang.livejournal.com]

I don't see a point in exchanging either, since we clearly come from different worlds. It's only natural, then, that you don't know what a troubadour is and I don't know what a movie is, isn't it?

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

Different worlds..?

[The idea isn't *completely* foreign to Johnny, circumstances aside, but it's still pretty out there. He ponders over this for a moment before frowning at Legault.]

Fine, fine, you win.

[huntedfang.livejournal.com]

Why do you look so upset when you say that? I feel like this was an enlightening conversation.

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

Nothin'. Forget about it. I guess if I can be kidnapped right off the street to... wherever this place is located, then people from other worlds make sense. But that only makes this place sound more like a movie. Or some kinda comic book now.

[huntedfang.livejournal.com]

Excuse me, but...what is a comic book, exactly?

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

Man, where do you even come from that they don't have comic books either?

[huntedfang.livejournal.com]

We have books, you know.

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

Comic books 'n' regular books aren't the same thing.

[huntedfang.livejournal.com]

I assume so. Do you mind if I ask a different question, though? I don't want to offend you.

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

[he doesn't like where this is going.]

That depends on the question.

[huntedfang.livejournal.com]

Now I don't want to alarm you, but...

You look quite pale. Are you feeling alright?

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

[FROWN]

Yeah, jackass, I feel like a million damn dollars.

[huntedfang.livejournal.com]

Ah, my, did I say something offensive? I apologize, I've just never seen anyone who looked quite like you.

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

I'm a special and unique snowflake.

[huntedfang.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize I was speaking to someone so special. My apologies.

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I'm super special. So special that'd I'd rather ya never bring it up again.

[huntedfang.livejournal.com]

Your secret is safe with me, I think. Though...I can be forgetful. I may just want to keep talking to you so I don't forget.

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

Or I can just hang up on your ass 'n' never talk to ya again.

[huntedfang.livejournal.com]

You're really out to hurt my feelings, aren't you? And here I was, ready to help you search for someone...I've been keeping my eye out for things that stand out, you see.
