[Cybil's face appears on screen looking...well, calm and collected because she's a cop, gdit, shit isn't supposed to weird her out. Okay so she does look a bit skeptical to say the least.]

This is certainly no nightmare, that's for sure. But Pokémon? Waking up in another house when I wasn't even sleeping? I don't think I was asleep, at least. This is getting too bizarre.

The things in the bag I was given...I mean, it's nice having working communication and a radio that actually plays music, but none of my things are in there. My gun's gone, and I don't like the idea of not having my gun when there are [camera pans to a Houndour standing at attention. It looks just as stern as Cybil does. She shifts it back to her face.] these things following me around. It hasn't attacked me yet but forgive me for not trusting dogs that look like they came right from Hell. I've had a pretty rough experience when it comes to monsters.

Please, tell me...what the hell is going on? It's a step up from the fog and...damn, seeing actual residents around sure as hell is nice but I'm convinced this is a dream and...[a sigh, she shakes her head and runs a hand through her short blond hair] I honestly don't know what to make of what's going on anymore. With this place, with Silent Hill and...

[a pause, and she eyes something off-camera (her Houndour) before returning her attention to the camera]

...I guess I'll just...wait and see if anyone responds and until then I'll be walking around this...'New Bark Town' asking the residents pretty much the same things I've just asked. Doubt I'll get any straight answers. And Harry, if you're somehow here too, please contact me as soon as possible, just so I can keep track.

And within a few days, everyone in this place vanished.

_{[A pause. There's nothing sceptical about him - he believes her, he's just wondering what could have possibly caused something like that.]}

Can I ask what year you're from?

[dontshootmebro.livejournal.com]

Usually I'm the one asking the questions.

[ALL IN GOOD HUMOUR SHE DOESN'T SEEM ANNOYED, just kind of...amused at his curiousity. but again, who could blame him?]

198X.

[the X because lol Silent Hill timelines can get screwy and I hate looking back and seeing conflicting years...X)]

I believe our respective jobs aren't dissimilar. Questions have a way of becoming a habit.

<sub>[Not to mention he's been asking questions since he was a kid, but.]

[And have a slight change in his face as he ponders this.]</sub>

You'd be the first person I've encountered from a time earlier than my own. What's the location of Silent Hill?

_{[He might have heard of what's going on except of course he hasn't! Also haha I'll also assume cause Coop's from 1989 sooo.]}

And what is it that you do, Dale? If you don't mind me asking some questions as well.

[most signs point to 1986, but I like being safe~

Now that kind of catches her off-guard.]

Earlier than your own? [a skeptical look, but she continues.] It's in Maine, about 13 miles from Brahms. If you're familiar with the area, you would have heard of it.

[tapestodiane]

Not at all. I'm a Special Agent with the Bureau.

_{[Nod. Yep, earlier.]}

I'm from 1989. Whatever brings us here doesn't appear to take our respective timelines into consideration. _{[Annnd let's consider this. No, he's not familiar with Maine.]} I'm situated in San Francisco, so I suppose that would explain why I haven't - but not why I haven't heard about a town where people disappear.

...Unless, of course, you're not only from a different time, but a slightly different reality.

[She nods as well, in acknowledgment]

No surprise there.

And you probably haven't heard about it because all means of contact have been cut off. When I got there, the radios didn't work, the phones...not even the cars. Hell, roads were even obliterated, making it impossible to even leave town on foot.

[She runs her fingers through her hair, and looks down at what can assumed to be her Houndour.]

Different timelines and different realities...you'll have to excuse me for being skeptical.

[video]

[tapestodiane]

Of course - but it appears irrational that it wouldn't have been reported since.

_{[He smiles at that, shaking his head.]}

Skepticism is probably a good mindset to start with. I'm confident you'll get used to these kind of things soon enough, and perhaps start believing them.

[video]

[dontshootmebro.livejournal.com]

Maybe...something happened then.

[This is all really mind-boggling, please excuse her as she's trying to keep her calm.]

Maybe I will. It's just a lot to take in right now.

[video]

[tapestodiane]

I know. Take your time.

_{[He can sense this, at least some, and offers her another small smile as means of encouragement and calm.]}
