[Cable doesn't waste much time signing in to Riverview's network, opting for audio as a means to announce himself.]

New arrival to the Quarantine. Name's Cable. [He pauses for a moment. He's checking stuff out as he roams around, both in the scenery and the network itself. He's been in different periods of time and has been dumped randomly in places before. So excuse him if he sounds fairly casual about all of this.]

Guessing there's no known way out of this place, right? [At least they aren't restricted to just the city/town by the look of things. A little exploring might do him some good, then.]

..Right.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Sounds about right. Not really up for pushing my luck just yet.

Can I ask why you want to get home or is it super personal... on the same side it might be super obvious. I mean brought to a new place against your will, etc. I just figured it was worth asking since you wanted to ask, you know, everyone.

Super obvious works. Mostly a rhetorical question otherwise.

Got cha.

[She makes a finger gun but he can't see it.]

Well, if you have any other rhetorical or non-rhetorical questions, you currently got me. I'm waiting for my code to comply and it's super boring.

Nothing comes to mind.

[...]

But I'm bored too. Got any questions for the new guy?

[She hums thoughtfully.]

What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?

[That's..not a horrible question. Definitely unexpected. He's just wandering around though, so he'll bite.]

Rocky road.

Oh that's a good one. I think, I happen to be one of those sad few who's deathly allergic to chocolate.

My favorite is strawberry.

[Asking about ice cream is a great way to get to know someone and their world. It tells Freya a lot witout her having to ask an invasive question.]

You want to ask anything or can I keep going? Because the next question might be a which-do-you-like-more question.

[Allergies suck.]

Ask away.

[Allergies do suck and they suck more when it kills you and you can't take modern medicine.]

Okay. Which would you rather do: go bowling or go paintballing?

..Paintballing.

Definitely good choice.

[She hums softly.]

How do you feel about Brunch?

Fine so long as it's followed with some Afternoon Delight.

Starland? I can get behind that.

[Another pause.]

What's your all time favorite movie?

[Cable makes a brief sound of amusement. Something between a "hm" and "heh".]

Breakfast At Tiffany's.

That's a good one.

Wait, [Pause for dramatic effect though she's paused enough times in this conversation it's probably less dramatic now.]

What time was it back where you're from?

[Indeed. Here, let him have a pause of his own before answering.]

What's it matter to you?

Edited 2018-06-12 23:24 (UTC)

I am naturally curious.

I'm from 2022 and I assume that you're from some time before Breakfast at Tiffany's came out.

[..She's calling him old, isn't she?]

How did you arrive to that conclusion?

Edited 2018-06-13 16:17 (UTC)

Right. I got AD and BC mixed up. It's what happens when you're a Tesla fan. I meant after that movie came out. What was it, 1960? 1961?

[Freya's race lives for a couple hundred years so she isn't technically calling him old.]

I figured you're from a time period before me based on the fact that most people here seem to be between the ages of 20 and 40. It's an assumption based off of what I know and have seen.

I like math.

Right. We'll call me an 'exception'.

[She wouldn't have been the first really. He's had white hair and the like since...well, ever. Always.]

Edited 2018-06-13 17:10 (UTC)

Exception is the worlds worst nickname.

[Amusement dances in her voice.]

You don't want to tell me your age? That's cute.

Would make for a worse actual name. [He's surprised it hasn't been taken by a hero, villain, or fragrance company.]

More like I've never kept track.

Maybe we can come up with more awful names. It'd be a fun side project.

[Freya blinks.]

I know someone who's lived for like 500+ years and they remember how old they are. I understand the not counting but do you know what year you were born? You don't have to tell me. I'm just curious if you know.

Sure.

Not really. Spent most of my time in the thirtieth to thirty-first century from what I can remember.
