make_me_free[Well well, look who decided to grace the Keep with his presence. Nick has been asleep this whole time! I do declare, what a lazy slob! Anyway he woke up this morning, yawned and stretched and it still took him about an hour to realize he wasn't in his little hole in the wall back home. He panicked at first, before he remembered he worked in a Facility and these accommodations were way too nice to be holding cells.
So where was he? He had to be in Washington, right? I mean this place is swanky enough to be some apartment in Washington. Had his parents found him?
Once every nook and cranny of the room had been searched, he finally noticed the book and after fiddling with it, he managed to turn on the audio. Don't ask him how he managed it, though. He probably couldn't tell you. His voice is hesitant.]
Has anyone seen my shoe?
[That seemed like a safe enough question to ask.]

When was this dinner?
no subject
Date: 2011-04-13 06:16 pm (UTC)Ah...the dinner was...four days ago?
[That is a long time. How did he not wake up just from hunger alone?]
no subject
Date: 2011-04-13 06:44 pm (UTC)[He's passed out before. But never for four days. This should make him reconsider how much he drinks. But well, it doesn't 8D]
I do not remember much, I am afraid.
[Maybe he did wake up between then and now. He doesn't remember.]
Do you know where I can find something to eat?
no subject
Date: 2011-04-13 07:22 pm (UTC)Oh but, you're missing a shoe.
[That might be a problem.]
no subject
Date: 2011-04-13 10:59 pm (UTC)[All right! Food means drink and hopefully drink means alcohol. Let's do this thang.]
no subject
Date: 2011-04-14 12:01 am (UTC)[Good luck finding the booze. Bryn has no idea where it is.]
no subject
Date: 2011-04-14 10:04 pm (UTC)[He gets up to give the door an experimental tug.]
They are not locked?
no subject
Date: 2011-04-15 01:22 am (UTC)[Bryn gathers her things together, to get ready to go.]
no subject
Date: 2011-04-15 11:27 am (UTC)It says 2130 on the door. Is this important?
no subject
Date: 2011-04-16 04:54 am (UTC)[This is lucky. He's only a floor away. Within minutes, Bryn is approaching, following numbers toward Nick's.
Ah, there he is. Bryn waves her hand in a bit of a smile.]
Hello. I'm sorry I never introduced myself. I'm Bryn.
no subject
Date: 2011-04-16 11:33 am (UTC)Nickolas. But please call me Nick.
no subject
Date: 2011-04-18 09:23 pm (UTC)[She offered him a quick smile, an attempt to be reassuring. Bryn takes a few steps away from Nick's room, starting to lead him away.]
Food's not far away, if you'll just follow me.
Hi my name is Sparky and I fail
Date: 2011-04-22 03:27 am (UTC)Bryn, yes? There is a note in the journal, hm? What does it say?
Hi, my name is Mari and I fail too |D
Date: 2011-04-28 12:45 am (UTC)It...well. It's a welcome and an explanation for why we're here. He wrote that our worlds are gone right now. That...something happened to make it as if they never existed, but he's trying to fix it.
[Bryn pauses, looking directly at Nick now.]
All he wants us to do apparently is keep records of our time here. In the journal.
At least I'm not alone! \o/
Date: 2011-04-28 11:37 am (UTC)[Nick stops walking for a moment, allowing the information to sink in. So he wasn't in New America anymore at all. This wasn't some souped up Facility building. If he believed Bryn. And he did.
He shakes his head and continues on.]
I do not see how that is a bad thing. My world? Is not a good place.
no subject
Date: 2011-04-29 01:49 am (UTC)That is what I have been told...
[Bryn pauses, then swallows once before continuing hesitantly.]
...is it truly so awful?
no subject
Date: 2011-04-29 07:33 pm (UTC)[Nick sounds detached now.]
I live...ah...very close to the earth's core, yes? It is very hot. Very unpleasant.
[Video]
Date: 2011-04-13 08:22 pm (UTC)Can't say if I have or haven't sadly .. however, I happen to know that there is a clothier here .. Certain we can find you a matched set there.
[Guess who's been doing a fair amount of exploring over the past few days! If you guessed Alex, then you'd be correct!!]
[Audio]
Date: 2011-04-13 11:03 pm (UTC)qué es eso
[Video]
Date: 2011-04-14 04:58 pm (UTC)But wait! You've also managed to catch his attention with that startled bit of Spanish, Nick! Thank you desert living!! He stumbles for a moment, glad now that he paid so much attention in Spanish class.]
Crap! Umm .. Lo siento! Yo no signifiqué para asustarse usted.. Usted bien?
[Audio]
Date: 2011-04-14 09:01 pm (UTC)[...This is such a crappy hallucination.]
I believe I am dead.
[Video]
Date: 2011-04-14 09:37 pm (UTC)Nah.. not dead, buddy. A bit of an understandable freak out, if you're planning on having one, but no.. not dead.
[He purses his lips slightly.]
I'm Alex .. I know this is all a bit out there, but we're all in the same boat here .. Well, at least those of use that just appeared ..
[Audio]
Date: 2011-04-14 10:05 pm (UTC)[Nick's pretty sure he didn't just appear...]
I believe I have been here for four days?
[At least he thinks. :|a]
[Video]
Date: 2011-04-16 07:12 am (UTC)[Alex then nods, although he looks a bit concerned.]
Yeah, it seems like the lot of us that aren't native to the Keep all showed up about four days ago .. Where have you been??
[His brows knit, wondering if this guys thinks he showed up with the rest but really didn't .. or if he did.]
[Audio]
Date: 2011-04-16 11:35 am (UTC)[Passed out was more like it. But you know semantics.]
[Video]
Date: 2011-04-17 05:05 pm (UTC)You fell asleep and woke up here .. I was walking down the street and woke up here.
[He shakes his head, a frown creasing his brow slightly. There didn't seem to be any pattern as to when they were taken..only that they all woke up here after the fact. Alright..next question.]
You speak Spanish .. Are you from Earth? [He quickly moves to continue, knowing how that likely sounds.] I know how weird a question that is, Nick, but .. not everyone here does. you're going to see some crazy shit once you leave your room and it's better you be ready for it.
[At least Alex has conceded that not everyone from Earth is necessarily from his Earth. It sucks to not know if anyone is, but he can't presume that Nick (or anyone else) is.]
[audio]
Date: 2011-04-17 05:19 pm (UTC)[Should Nick be telling Alex this? He doesn't know this guy at all. But if he was Facility, he would know all of this wouldn't he?]
Not from Earth? Then where...? Mon Dieu...What is happening?
[Video]
Date: 2011-04-18 11:29 pm (UTC)He takes in the other man's surprise and offers a slight smile, feeling bad.]
There should be a book in your room, a journal of sorts.. inside it there is a letter that will give you the run down. It's .. pretty out there, but believe me .. it's true. There are people in this place from all over .. different worlds and such. Non-humans and humans alike. Some that look human, but aren't..
[He trails off, running a hand through his hair just for something to do with his hand.]
It's .. all a bit like something out of a book or off the television, really. Straight off SyFy..
[Audio]
Date: 2011-04-22 03:34 am (UTC)[This is still all so surreal.]
Do not look human?
[Nick's voice sounds strained. Some of the experiments performed on the Misfits back home mutated them into horrible ugly creatures. There's a pang of guilt in his chest and he pauses to take a swig from his half empty bottle of moonshine.]
[Video]
Date: 2011-04-22 06:40 pm (UTC)Yeah .. yeah, that'd be the one I'm talking about.
[At the question, the strain in Nick's voice is audible and Alex puts on a soft smile, his own tone gentle and soothing. Don't freak out, Nick .. it'll be okay.]
I haven't met a mean one of them yet, Nick. We're all in the same boat, here, you know?
[Audio]
Date: 2011-04-22 08:23 pm (UTC)Nien...I...
[Nick pauses and hesitates until finally:]
Lo siento.
[Video]
Date: 2011-04-22 08:27 pm (UTC)Nothing to apologize for, Nick .. the whole thing is a bit overwhelming. Go get some food and a change of clothes. Feel the place out a bit. I'm usually in the kitchen or hanging around somewhere. I'm more than happy to show you around or help you in any way I can.
[Cause it's what he does!]
[Audio]
Date: 2011-04-22 08:31 pm (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2011-04-22 08:35 pm (UTC)Anytime. Seriously .. got all the time in the world.
