First Case {Video}

Okay, this is not cool. I was enjoying that cup of coffee, alright!

[The voice on the other end of your Gears comes through before the feed does, or at least it seems to. Then whoever's holding it seems to realize that they're covering the camera with their thumb and a man in a cheap blue suit with spiky hair that looks like it belongs in Tomorrowland is revealed.]

Oh, whoops-- Is this a camera? Nifty. Wonder if I can get my ringtone on this thing, I paid for that.

[Right when he says that he realizes that is not the point, and he coughs into his fist.]

Alright, considering this thing is hooked up to a network, I'm going to assume I'm not the only person who's been sucked away from home. Anybody want to share what's going on? I really, really hate being in the dark. And I really, really want to get home. Or at least get another cup of coffee. I feel like I'm gonna need it.

[ooc: IIIIIIIIIII will get a contact post up pronto. In the meantime, have this!]

Um, yes, but it's still not definite. Sometimes they're sent home for real. Sometimes, they're sent home while they're asleep. They stay asleep for a while, sometimes taking weeks, and when they wake up, they feel like they were sent back home. Or rather, have memories of going back home.

They...have memories? But they didn't actually go home?

Their bodies don't leave, but it seems their minds do. I've experienced it myself. I fell asleep for almost two weeks. I felt like I was back home. And then I woke up back here all over again. My friends who were here said my body never left.

That's...more than a little creepy. But you're alright?

[His concern wins over his consternation. For now, at least.]

Um, yes. I'm fine, sir. Some of my friends were actually asleep longer.

That's good, at least. If weird.

[Phoenix scratches his head awkwardly.]

This is all starting to sound like a really weird, messed up dream.

It tends to end up that way. Some people though just decide to go along with it. You can end up here for a long time. I've almost been here for two years.

Two years? Wow...

[While he's impressed, he's also groaning since, you know, that means he won't be getting home anytime soon.]

It's not really a problem since time stops back in your home world...? You won't be missing anything from back home. So once you go back, you'll be right back where you left off. Which is probably getting that cup of coffee.

It does?! How does that work?!

We're not really sure.

I haven't been sent home physically since I arrived here so I wouldn't know.
