[A significantly-younger-looking-than-usual Wilson James is sitting on the floor next to his bed, looking especially freaked out. He speaks very quietly.]

Alright, I don't know what the hell is going on, but if anyone can hear me, I think I've been kidnapped. I have no idea where I am, and there's this really creepy old guy here. He looks pretty insane, so I'm not going out there. I guess he's not all that bright, though, since he left this... thing in here.

Anyway, last thing I remember, I was in my dorm room. I think he must have drugged me or something. Just... if you can hear this, tell the cops or something? I could use some help here.



[ooc; Wilson's age-reversed, and so have his memories. He's about 18 years old, just barely a freshman in college, and he has no idea where he is or who any of you are.]

I'm trying to think of a way to explain this situation without sounding insane, but nothing is really coming to me, which is saying a lot.

Doc...tor?

[dr_conscience]

Okay. Well... you wanna take a whack at it anyway?

'Cause, I mean, I have no clue what's going on.

[dr_conscience]

Doctor?

Umm, I think you might have the wrong guy here...

[returningpearl.livejournal.com]

Maybe...

Doctor Wei San?

[dr_conscience]

You mean Wilson? Um, I'm James Wilson, but, uh... I'm eighteen.

[returningpearl.livejournal.com]

...are you related to any doctors in your family?

voice;

[dr_conscience]

Uh, nope... I mean, I will be a doctor, someday... I hope. I'm just starting pre-med, though.

Look, uh, sorry, but... do you know where I am? What's going on here? I'm kind of lost here.

Um... I'm probably not the best person to explain this place to you, but I can try. It's called the City. People from a lot of places and times are pulled here for some reason that we don't know, and people can't leave by choice? And then on some days, really weird things happen - everyone calls them curses. Sometimes you do things that you wouldn't normally, sometimes your memories play out for other people...

...and I probably sound a little crazy to you.

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

I kidnapped you.

voice;

[dr_conscience]

Younger?

Uhhhhhhh... ooookay.

You actually sound really crazy, but... thanks?

I guess this is just a screwed-up dream, then. Never eating that crap in the Commons again.

[dr_conscience]

You- you're the guy with the robot zombies.

What the hell is your damage, man?

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Alright, but I'm going to be upset if you call me crazy considering you asked for this.

You have been abducted, but not by the old guy. You've been brought here by several powerful beings called "deities". This place is sort of a nexus of realities and dimensions. You've actually been here before, but as an older version of yourself.

[returningpearl.livejournal.com]

Right, right. A dream. You'll... understand, tomorrow.

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

Yes. Well, they're really cyborg zombies, considering the organic parts.

I have eleven toes.

[dr_conscience]

Deities. Okay then. Well, guess I did ask for it.

So I got stuck in an apartment with a crazy hobo, and there's some guy with cyborg zombies and eleven toes who says he brought me here.

This dream is really screwed.

[dr_conscience]

Oh, right. Sorry. Cyborg zombies. Wouldn't want to offend them, right?

So, you're saying that having eleven toes makes you insane? Look, I'm first year pre-med and I'm still not falling for that.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

He's not a hobo, he's actually a very brilliant doctor.

I'd suggest you don't think of it as a dream and treat it like it's real.

voice;

[dr_conscience]

Yeah, sure. Right.

I'm sure it'll all be fine in the morning.

[dr_conscience]

This guy's a doctor? He looks like he's been sleeping at a bus stop.

Sure, man. No problem.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Genius comes in all forms.

Pinch yourself if you don't believe me.

[dr_conscience]

Yeah, the pinching doesn't work, but this can't be real. It doesn't make sense. I remember being in class yesterday.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

And today you're here. What's not to believe?

[dr_conscience]

Well, the part about me being older in the past is kind of a good place to start. Or the being pulled out of my reality by "deities?" That's pretty weird, too.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

It's improbably but is it impossible?
