[ Recent events are enough of a push to get him to do what he was waffling about, but that doesn't mean he likes having to be the bearer of any news, let alone the kind where he gives mildly hypocritical advice. ]

i know it hasn't even been a week but apparently people are already biting the dust again, so

hi, i'm nate, and enough people have asked me about this crap that i should probably have made this sooner. i've been to another world like this before, the whole "kidnapped population of different people, different places" thing, got the t-shirt, so i might be able to answer some questions people have

death probably isn't gonna stick here, but that doesn't mean you should be testing your luck since there's always some kind of price with these things.

seriously, don't be stupid.

Oh...like in a storybook?

[That seems to make it a little clearer for her child brain.]

I'll make him a very nice drawing so he knows how much I missed him!

[nonscriptum]

oh, didn't you know? i'm a wizard now

[chardismastic]

[ There is such a long delay before the next reply that maybe Nate thinks Rafe has just hung up and decided to ignore him. Then again, if Nate knows anything about Rafe, he should also know how incredibly impossible that is. ]

bullshit

[nonscriptum]

totally black eyes, came from some kind of version of a hell, weird magic powers, sword she could summon from midair

yeah, i know how it sounds.

[originallutece]

That may be the first time anyone's compared me to a boy scout. I'm dubiously honored.

What other things do tablets in your world usually do? What functions do they have? These might be very similar, and then again they might not be; I'd like to see how many things I can discover.

[originallutece]

You're speaking to a woman who recently died via assassination as she tore open the universe.

The bar for "how it sounds" is fairly high, unfortunately.

Define your timeline. You were in the other place, you died, you were revived, and then you died again and came here. Yes?

[nonscriptum]

for here? no idea.
best guess is some kind of shadowy being we'll either have limited or no exposure to, that brought us here for reasons other than a general "congratulations, you died" thing

[broplaints]

Could you try?
I mean, what kinds of things did people lose?

[ oh boy here it comes nate. are you ready. ]

[ultimatums]

[ are you ready nate!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[nonscriptum]

honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not

[ He's had a lot of callers and not all of them have been friendly. ]

[ Nate, a man accustomed to exchanging all his frequent flyer miles for guilt trips of incalculable distances, immediately feels a little bad. ]

[nonscriptum]

jesus, fine
but only because i like you

[ultimatums]

[ raylan genuinely cannot believe that that worked. ]

Highly doubt you were really gonna delete me but if it helps you sleep at night I'll pretend I thought you were

first time for everything.

[ Oh, God. The rest of that is...so much that he is under-equipped for. ]

usually you can send audio messages and text messages, i don't think these can do video - that's a kind of face-to-face thing, but through the device

i'll be honest, i'm the last person to be in the know about cutting-edge tech, it's not really my thing

genuine question.

@carnie

[ordinaryannie]

who'd you have to bargain with to make death not stick in the last dimension you were dragged off to?

[nonscriptum]

[ You would be surprised at how little it takes to get that guilt complex up and running. ]

i can't delete you, who's gonna listen to my theories about stuff?

[nonscriptum]

it's just the first time i'm hearing about it, that's all.

[ No hinky attitude over here! ]

you're the second person i've talked to who refers to it as the earthrealm

are there a couple of you guys here?

[paletteswap]

My apologies. I shouldn't have been so hasty to make plans without consulting all involved.

From my realm there are two others that I know of.

Which were you speaking to?

[kungfuey]

Word is it has a keypad to open it from the other side.

[ See. People tell her things. ]

You think these creatures could be involved in this?

[ultimatums]

Is that all I am to you, Nate? A pair of ears??

[nonscriptum]

oh good, a mechanism to solve

[ Jury's out on whether that's excitement in his texting, or- no, it's definitely excitement. He loves this shit. ]

the ones from that other world? no, no way. they don't have the juice for this kind of thing, and we weren't dead when we showed up there, so that's a new development

i DO think there's some kind of entity that's going to use the people here, though. whether it's like a battery or for something else, i don't know yet.
