Video UN :Tillinghast

[tillinghast]

[ the video opens to a small unintimidating man with hazel eyes and shaggy brown hair. He looks perplexed but also not the usual grade of panic.

New yes, but not as new as it would appear.]

Hello to anyone listening. Hopefully this time I have done this right. My name is Crawford Tillinghast, I am a physicist. I have been here myself a couple weeks but have tried to figure these things out myself, sadly everything is a little outside of my realm of understanding.

That said, I would appreciate any help that can be given.

[despite what his username might suggest, the voice that answers sounds extremely masculine.]

Mm, got bad news for you, pal. If you're here with the rest of us, you're beyond help.

[jason? trolling? more likely than you think!]

[tillinghast]

[ Joy, one of these, oh well. He can work with it. ]

Well, that is certainly uninspiring, but is it really bad here?

[scathefires]

Depends. "Really bad" is kinda subjective. What're you used to? What's it like where you're from?

[tillinghast]

That's harder to explain than it sounds. I'm from Arkham, Massachusetts. I went to Miskatonic, I'm used to a little bit of oddity, but I've seen things humans shouldn't. If that answers the questions.

[ This is all new of course, damn that machine. ]

[scathefires]

Hm ... not really, no. Kinda just creates more questions. When you say you've seen things humans shouldn't, are we talkin' abstract performance art, or something a little more sinister?

[tillinghast]

Definitely more sinister. [ He makes a discouraged face. ] Think... science fiction horror movie.

[scathefires]

Have you looked outside lately? We’re in a science fiction horror movie.

[tillinghast]

Honestly, I would classify this place as more science fiction proper. I haven't seen anything really horror related yet, but I'm new.

[ CAN YOU HEAR THE ANXIETY IN HIS VOICE JASON? CAN YOU! ]

[scathefires]

[yup. and unfortunately jason’s not gonna help with that.]

Give it time. I’m sure we’ll see something horrible before too long. We usually do.

[ask him about his hops around the multiverse!]

[tillinghast]

That... sounds ominous. And like you have a story there.

[ he wants to hear it plz.]

[scathefires]

Got lots of stories. Gettin' dumped here ain't my first rodeo - it's my third. And based on my experience in the other two places? It's only a matter of time before something terrible crawls out of the woodwork to make our lives a living hell. Dinosaurs, evil murder-clones ... anything's possible.

[tillinghast]

Well. Thats horrifying. Thank you.

[ Those Hazel eyes happen to be a lot wider. Mild inner panic moments. ]

[scathefires]

Hey, you said you wanted help. What's more helpful than being prepared?
