Video + Voice | UN: Serenity

[ For a good while, all anyone's going to see is the cityscape of the second district. There's clear movement as the scene seems to move and shake with what seems to be the sounds of footsteps in the background. ]

Hello? Hi, my name is—oh no, the video is on backward, uh—

[ There is a small pause, and after much tinkering, the feed switches over to the front camera. Crisis adverted? On the screen is a teenage girl, looking barely legal with a strange hairstyle. She has on a pretty friendly smile, with all things considered, and doesn't seem entirely too distraught. ]

—there we go! Hello again, sorry for the trouble! My name is Usagi Tsukino and I'm new to the city. So far, I've found a place to live, I think, and I'm just trying to familiarize myself with the place so it's easier to navigate.

[ She looks pensive for a moment. ]

Or perhaps more information on the place? How do things work around here? Anything is fine. [ She pauses for a moment. ] Oh, maybe a place to get food? I haven't seen anywhere that resembles a restaurant where I am, but I'm not entirely sure.

Sorry for all the questions, and thank you for your time!

[ The video feed switches off, but it seems like she somehow didn't close the voice transmission along with the video. ]

Okay...where am I, ooooh, I could really go for a large banana split sundae right about now...where does a girl get some ice cream around here?

...wait, didn't I walk past that place earlier? Huh? Why is this still on? Oh no.....!

[ And the voice transmission cuts off here. ]

Oh you haven't even scratched the tip of the iceberg of what this place will ruin.

Wait, why would you think this place is haunted?
inlovewithmycar: (oh yeah that'll do it)

Word to the wise, if you want to avoid trouble, whenever something new pops up in the city, let others go explore it first. You'll usually hear back right quick if something's actually dangerous or not.

And my bad; it's a turn of phrase. Just means 'people', not disembodied lost spirits roaming about.
inlovewithmycar: (accusatory)

Not kind. Never kind. Pragmatic. Utilitarian even. Can't have newcomers diving headlong into trouble before they even know which way is up.

[Someone's feathers are in a ruffle.]

Don't sweat it. Confusion isn't uncommon here - most everyone is from different worlds or times so we're all bound to get a little mixed up along the way.
inlovewithmycar: (an Example)

Good, glad we have that sorted out.

Most people here are from some variant of Earth, falling within a forty-something year period between the 1980s to the 2020s with a scattering of people from a few decades or even centuries earlier or later. The rest are from other worlds entirely.

I'm personally from Earth ⇒ UK ⇒ London, around 2022ish.
inlovewithmycar: (well...)

Relatively speaking? Sure, five months is a while. Long enough to see some patterns, know what to expect.

Name's Crowley, and yeah, we can. Got an inbox right here. Always happy to answer whatever questions people toss my way.

And hey, I know the whole 'trapped in another world' might seem daunting, but just take things one step at a time, alright? Most of the people here are alright - odds are most are happy to help you if you ask.

That is, as the kids these days say, a mood. Nothing better than slacking off.

And no problem. Stay safe out there, alright?


inlovewithmycar: (well done)

Well, there's a university if you don't want to treat this as an extended break and actually keep up with said studies.

And sure; wouldn't be the first time I bailed someone out of prison.
inlovewithmycar: (up to no good)

[personal profile] inlovewithmycar 2023-11-28 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
What, you don't like being squished into a pseudo prison for eight hours a day where you're expected to conform to a rigid curriculum that sucks all the actual joy out of learning because schools aren't actually institutions for education, but rather for indoctrinating good little worker bees who do as their told?

I never would have guessed.


[Crowley has Opinions about schools, okay.]

Fair enough. Jail isn't really a thing here, but getting lost absolutely is.
