Can't say as I understand it. Joker's gonna be furious if I miss tonight's show.

'ere, you're talkin' t'me through this device thing too?

I don't get how it happens either. It just does. No one should be angry with you, it's not your fault.

Yes. It's a network device, something like a phone and a computer put together.

I really need t'get home. Show's gotta go on, an' all that.

...what're those, then?

You're a performer? There aren't any ways out. At least none that anyone are talking about.

Uh.

[There's a big pause on the line.]

They're machines that keep people in touch from long distances.

Yeah, tightrope walker at the Noah's Ark Circus. Best show o' the century! Cor, I ain't 'alf gonna catch it if I don't get back.

Like sending letters, d'you mean?

[chasingmorning.livejournal.com]

Wow. And you do that all the time?

Yes, just faster. Much faster. More like passing notes on the same notepad.

Every day! Different places though, we travel lots.

Blimey, never thought I'd see somethin' like that!

That's quite a life.

It is amazing now that I think about it. Do people only write letters where you come from?

[freckleddoll]

Best life in the world, wouldn't change it for anythin'.

Yeah, letters, or sendin' a message by someone on 'orseback when it's really important.

Sounds like.

I hope that you can get the hang of this kind of communication. It's very useful.

What about you, what'd you do?

I'll try. Can't say it ain't strange, but it sure does look handy.

I'm still learning what I can do. I collect insects.

New things are always strange at first.

[freckleddoll]

...well, I kinda meant what kind of work d'you do, but sure, collecting insects s'fine.

Yeah. An' most most everythin' round here looks new t'me.

I don't have a job. Yet. The City gives money to people who aren't quite adults.

Where are you from?

[freckleddoll]

What...to all the little 'uns, really? This place really looks after 'em?

Grew up round London, been travellin' a lot since then. Guess you could say I'm from England in general. You've 'eard of it, right? Cause this other bloke I'm talkin' to says he hasn't. Can't imagine someone not knowin' 'bout England.

There's an orphanage I hear. Some can look after themselves.

I've heard of England. He must be from a whole different universe.

[freckleddoll]

That's great, really. I think I like this place better now. Who runs the orphanage?

...cor, can't really wrap my 'ead around that. Different universes, ya know.

]][[audio]][[

[chasingmorning.livejournal.com]

I don't know who runs it. But it's still around. People have to be taking good care of it.

This is all very weird. I've been here for months and sometimes I still think it's a dream.

[freckleddoll]

Glad to hear that. I'll go see for myself later on.

Yeah, can 'ardly believe it. You've really been 'ere that long?
