-is that Dumas out there, Ges?-

-wearing different clothes, though... looks a lot like him, anyhow-

-from this distance at least-

-he seems to be surveying his surroundings-

-he seems a little surprised- Hey.

-that isn't Dumas' voice at all-

You mind telling me where I am? Because this certainly isn't Scotland. Too warm.

hmmmm, well I don't know what scotland is I do know that this place isn't it.

You've slipped into a multi-dimensional crossroads of sort basically.

Huh. It sounds like the kind of thing in a sci-fi...

Though now that I think about it- my Brother didn't seem to be around anywhere today.

I was searching the estate, and suddenly- well. Now I'm here.

So, my guess is my Brother is here too, isn't he? Kind of looks like me- a little younger.

But only by- a few minutes.

hmmm, yeah I think I've seen your younger brother. I don't really know where he is currently but everyone that ends up here tends to stay at that house

-Ges points at the house-

so if you go there you're more likely to find him

-nods- I kind of figured, given that from what I've seen- this is the only house.

And my family doesn't tend to go camping.

At least- me and my Brother, don't.

-shrugs- But, I guess confirmation of my Brother can wait a bit. He knows how to handle himself... most of the time.

-nods to Gespenst- I am Brian Dumas. I'm sure it's good to meet you, hm... android, is it? Not sure what to call what you are. Other than Machine, of course.

I get referred to by a lot of different designations, but my name is Ges. Nice to meet you Brian Dumas.

Just Brian is fine.

-nods- Ges- now that will be simple to remember.

Still- you mentioned about this being a crossroads of realities? Do you know whether it is difficult to leave?

it really all depends, for people with lots of skill and power in magic or the necessary technology leaving here is quite easy but if you don't have that then things can be...difficult to say the least.

Yeah, I thought as much...

And my kind of magic doesn't leave much to transport.

Because holding molten metal without burning probably isn't going to apply much to trying to escape.

Or anything in metalworking.

I'm sure there is someone here that can help you with getting back home, but before that we should probably try and find your brother.

#859016: Mar 15th 2015 at 7:35:34 AM

-nods- Right.

As much as my family would think otherwise- he can fend for himself.

But- I don't want to bore you with Family Politics.

Just a quick question, though... how dangerous would you say this place is?

And a follow-up to that- do you know whether this dirt has much ore in it?

I'm not really certain about the ore, I've never bothered to investigate that.

but I can say that right now these woods are very dangerous.

Right... I'll just use transmutation in an emergency, then.

Because it takes a lot more mana than I'd like it to, but- yeah that's probably something to train and refine a little bit when I get back.

So- my brother. He's probably in the house, right?

-nods- I can't really see why not.

I mean- as far as I know- my family hasn't done much to piss off robots.

I don't think they even exist to your extent back home.

-starts walking to the room-

Not that, I've just encountered people who did not like to receive help.

Huh. I guess some people just like doing things their way.

-heads up to the room, and in the main room he goes-

-where sure enough, the other Dumas is- ...! Hey- brother!

Huh- that was actually easy.

God- it's been days!

It... has? -looks at Ges- Do you know if time is at all twisted here?

it happens, the boundaries between different realities is very weak here and that tends to do odd things to things like time.

you can be gone for months on one side and over here only 30 seconds will have passed, and of course the opposite happens as well
