JUNE ARRIVAL - THREAD WITH JADE

[eventhandler]

(continued from here)

[Luckily, he is not from the 1980s...in Earth terms, anyways.]

I do! I certainly do. Many...computers where I come from. Perhaps it's a different format of computer, this laptop? In my world, we have terminals.

[fourthsaken]

[Jade nods, relieved. That doesn't sound too different.]

So you've still got like, the internet? Do we get the internet here?

[eventhandler]

[A shake of the head.]

Uh. No? Not quite. I don't know of this internet, but as the name supposes we...we have a private network across the island. No other networks..

[fourthsaken]

[Jade frowns. Of course it's a private network. No creepy place that kidnaps people would ever let them have contact with the outside world.]

Shit. I was afraid of that.

[eventhandler]

[He stares at her for a moment, before he folds his arms, frowning.]

...Even if you had your, ah, "internet", I don't think it would serve you well. This isn't the world you know.

[fourthsaken]

[She raises an eyebrow, giving him the most skeptical look. What the hell is he talking about? There's only one world.]

What?

[eventhandler]

This is just one world of many. I...I come from one world. You come from another. This is a...another one, this place.

[he is the best at explaining things.]

[fourthsaken]

Are you fucking with me here?

[Jade really, really, really hopes he is.]

[eventhandler]

No, I am not...I'm not doing that.

[He pauses as he trues to figure out a way to put this more clearly.]

...Have you ever heard of a place called Cloudbank?

[fourthsaken]

No. No, I don't know where that is.

[eventhandler]

That's my world. That's my...city. There was only one city, where I came from. And one suburb. One and one...that's all there was.

So, ah, imagine my surprise when I came here and found well, people are very used to the concepts of multiple cities. [A pause.] Anyways! The point, the...point of what I'm saying is that, yes, I come from...a different place. You come from a different place. There are...multiple universes out there, existing, all at once...and it may be unbelievable, but believe me, well...it's true.
