014: Things are Different Here

Hi. I'm afraid I must have gotten turned around somehow. I'm here in a really large library when I should be at the police station. And I... don't seem to be dressed quite appropriately for consulting - not that the police aren't expecting eccentricity when they finally get desperate enough to call in a psychic.

And... wow. Now that I stop to listen? This whole place seems... not quite normal.

Anyone around who can give a girl a hand?




[OOC: As 4 year old Rain talked her mother into going away to the beach when her father had to go out of town on a business trip. Thus, her mother never died, Rain was raised in a happy stable household, learned to develop her gifts with the help of her Lakota grandmother and a few others, and currently works as a psychic consultant for a number of police departments. She's not broken anymore. Oh, and yeah, her name isn't Rain.]

Why wouldn't they be there?

Only some people seem to be pulled from our worlds at a time. I don't think this place pulls everybody here.

Woah, wait a minute. Pulled from other worlds?

Yeah, that's a little too much to swallow, sorry.

It's weird but... Well, where are you from? Because if it's Earth, you're at least from a different time than I am.

You are on some serious drugs or something.

Of course I'm from Earth. Just like you and everybody else here.

No, I'm not...

I'm not, though. I'm from a colonization project that sent ships to other planets to find a new place for people to live.

O-kay...

Look, it's been nice talking to you and all, but maybe you oughta go see somebody about getting back on your meds.

[identity profile] mildlyreckless.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not crazy. Look, there are other people from my world here. I can prove it.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, if I was close enough to read your mind, i'd be able to tell too.

[identity profile] mildlyreckless.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
So you should know I'm not crazy.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid I can't read your mind over this device.

I get the sense that you believe what you say, but whether it's true or not? I can't tell.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
I could ask the knives? Yeah, so not reassuring.

[identity profile] mildlyreckless.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
No-- Knives. He's my brother.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Is he here at the Library? 'Cause otherwise... probably writing it off as two crazy brothers.

Sorry, but, really it's a lot to expect someone to believe.

[identity profile] mildlyreckless.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Well, to be fair, I do find it kind of crazy that you say you live on Earth...

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
That's nice. The crazy guy's explanation is that I'm crazy.

Look, I'm sure you're a perfectly nice guy and all and I appreciate your help, but I think I'm just going to head for that fountain and find the police station - get myself all straightened out, you know?

[identity profile] mildlyreckless.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not crazy and I'm not saying you're crazy, I'm just saying that all of this sounds crazy.

Good luck, Miss Isabel.

I agree. It does.

And good luck to you, Vash. Thank you for your help.

...Thanks. You're welcome.
