[At first, there's just a rush of air over the mic. It stops short for a long moment, instead picking up only the normal background noise of the City. Then, softly and irritably,]

Oh, man...

[The rush picks up again-- in the other direction, not that you can really tell. It pauses again. Then picks up for a minute. Then pauses. Starts again. Then, having traversed the City four times or so, Tommy stops and sits down on a convenient bench, not tired but certainly frustrated.]

Sooner or later one of the others will-- Hey, what's-

[BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP]

[ooc; open for action but please try to leave me a little wiggle room to maintain continuity? ;D also feel free to mistake him for Billy, now and forever and ever. <3]

Oh, I'm sorry. I should have introduced myself. I'm Euphemia li Britannia, but most people here call me Euphie.

Euphie. Well, you can call me Speed. So what's a nice girl like you doing in a walled-in city like this?

[It is more a joke than an actual come-on, don't worry Euphie. He will save the pickup lines for another day.]

Speed? [She finds it a little strange, but she accepts it.] It's nice to meet you.

The same thing you are I suppose. Except I've been doing it for over eight months now. Learning about this place and making friends [occasionally shooting them] and a home for myself.

[She can be a little naive when it comes to that anyway.]

You haven't tried to get home at all?

...No, it's better if I'm here.

If you say so.

[Curious, but he won't poke too hard.]

Besides, others before me have tried. And some people here have abilities I don't have.

Uggh, lame.

...Excuse me?

Not being able to get out of here? I mean, it's kind of a small place. And I have things to get back to.

Oh.

Well, if you do leave everything will be just like it was for you. Time doesn't move while you're here.

That makes sense I guess.

Do you think so? Do things like that happen where you're from?

Not exactly like this but the idea's not so weird, yeah. And if people noticed you were gone they'd try to find you, right? And sooner or later someone would do it.

I'm not sure how you find someone who is on another world, but maybe for some that doesn't sound as strange.

I'm not really sure either, but someone would figure it out I bet.

You're probably right. Someone somewhere must be able to.

...Do you know about all the different worlds and times people come from yet?

Not exactly? Other planets or other dimensions?

Both actually. I'm from Britannia on Earth.

Never heard of it.

It's a very large nation. [And it's the same as her last name if you picked up on that.] It's in the same place as the United States of America according to many people from other worlds.

That'd explain why I never heard of it.

And people can be from different times. My brother is from about a year after me.

Whoa, really?

[This is potentially relevant information. Of course, it makes sense, but...]

Oh man, time travel stuff is always a mess.

You've heard about real time travel before?

It can be confusing. Sometimes people go home for short periods of time and then come back as if they'd been there for months or years.
