[Almost inaudibly]

Shit.

[Long pause.]

O-kaaay… Not in Kansas anymore. Look, if I’m dead, Clyde Bruckman? You owe me an apology.

So, working on the assumption that I’m not… Is anyone out there?

I could use a hand here.

You're new here, I take it? Either way, this place isn't the afterlife or Kansas. It's the City, a connection point between worlds, you could say.

[call_me_spooky]

A connection point between worlds? You've gotta be kidding.

[have a bright smile directed at the screen and vigorous waving - yes, there is somebody out there]

[Voice]

[call_me_spooky]

Well, hi there.

Voice;

[of-hymns.livejournal.com]

There are others here in the City. It's a fairly large place to begin with.

What help do you need?

[Voice]

[call_me_spooky]

Well, that's good to know. Telling me which City this is would be a good start? And, if possible, how come I'm here and not in D.C.?

[voice]

[passionforshoes.livejournal.com]

Nope, not Kansas. Not a cow in sight.

[Voice]

[call_me_spooky]

Well, that's comforting. Kinda. I've had some bad experiences with cows in Kansas.

But at least then I'd know how to get home. I'm not.. even sure how I got here.

[halfvulcan.livejournal.com]

Kansas seems... quite popular. You are indeed no longer there, and most likely not dead if you are not yet aware of it. You have been transported through unknown means to a dimension entirely separate from your own. It appears to be known simply as "the City."

sooo i hope you're not too attached to that 4th wall of yours? >_>

[call_me_spooky]

I wasn't originally in Kansas. I haven't been there in a while, actually. You've never seen The Wizard of Oz?

Alternate dimensions... Oh, man. So, um. How do I get home?

Ground Control to Major Tom~

[call_me_spooky]

Damn, I forgot my protein pills this morning.

[guardianed.livejournal.com]

You're not dead unless you just did something in your own world that merits the state; and there are quite a few people 'out here', as you put it.

[call_me_spooky]

I'm pretty sure I'm not... I think I'd probably remember it.

Good to know I'm not alone, though. So, uh. Hiya.

[shutupsammy]

You are so fucking glad you're not in Kansas, dude.

[call_me_spooky]

I've never been big on Kansas. And last time I was there, well. I can't really blame the cow, or the guy who dropped it on me, since he didn't exactly mean to do it... but it sorta turns you off to a place, yanno?

[adamantined]

Working on the assumption that people already told you they were out there, did anyone send you the guide?

[call_me_spooky]

Sure did, thanks. Interesting place you've got here.

I'm Fox Mulder, pleased to meet ya.

[hisplusone.livejournal.com]

Hello.

I'm afraid you're not dead, just in the City.

[Voice]

[call_me_spooky]

Not being dead is a good thing, though. I'd much rather be stuck in between worlds than be dead. I think. It's not a choice I ever really pondered before.

[tempzilla.livejournal.com]

OH. MY. GOD. IT'S DAVID DUCHOVNEY!

brb while I laugh til I pee.

[call_me_spooky]

...Uh?

I think you've mistaken me for someone else. Fox Mulder.

[endswithme.livejournal.com]

You're in the City. You're stuck here. At least until whoever runs this place decides you don't need to be here anymore.

That's the gist of it.

[call_me_spooky]

Fantastic. I wish I knew why I needed to be here, now.

Thanks, though.

[vampish-aleera.livejournal.com]

Oh, there are many of us out here, Sir...

[call_me_spooky]

Don't have to call me Sir... It's just Mulder. Fox Mulder.

[theotokos.livejournal.com]

Well, damn, the welcome wagon got to you.

[call_me_spooky]

Evidently I'm a popular guy.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

You're not dead!

Hey there. I'm probably not the first to greet you, so I guess I'll skip the Welcome-to-the-City speech.

Asato Tsuzuki, and you are?

[call_me_spooky]

Fox Mulder. And yeah, I've got the gist of it, but thanks.

Nice to meet you.
