Oh, is this thing on? I was given to understand that if I wrote something in here, other people would be able to see it. Is that true?

I must say, I've never written journals on a computer before. I'm sure there's some degree of efficiency to this method, although surely in the long run people will neglect pen and paper in favor of this method. Too much of a good thing, as they say. At the very least this... ah, whatever, may be useful in the future, so it will have to do.

I'd like to add that I've found myself in a rather strange environment. It is both similar to and unlike the human world all at once. There is life here, and yet it seems remarkably scarce. Moreover I'm certain I've never been anywhere quite like this before, and you'll have to take my word for it when I say that in itself is a remarkable feat. You wouldn't happen to know where I am, would you? Or... well, whoever "you" may be. I don't suppose this is directed to anyone in particular, really.

... might this be what they call an "internet," I wonder?

I'd say it's not as bad as it sounds, but that would be lying.

[gavotte.livejournal.com]

Oh? Where do you come from, if I may ask?

[gavotte.livejournal.com]

Indeed. And not a very convincing lie, at that.

I don't suppose there's a way back to our own "worlds," then? I for my part did not intend to come here, and I certainly don't intend to stay.

Tokyo, Japan in the eleventh year of Meiji. It had little in common with this place, I must say.

[uponawitch.livejournal.com]

None that has been made available to the public, I'm afraid. You might as well get comfortable, dear.

[gavotte.livejournal.com]

I was afraid you'd say that.

I suppose I should thank you, at any rate. I may not approve of my new surroundings, but I've no qualms with the people thus far.

[gavotte.livejournal.com]

Oh, my dear! Are you really from the past? How fascinating! Why, I can hardly imagine hearing a first-hand account of history from another. Tell me, what was it like?

[reversebladed.livejournal.com]

It was a welcome relief from the chaos of the Bakumatsu, but I suppose it was still a bit chaotic in its own way, since there was quite a bit of change going on.

[magicbone]

oh my god this just keeps getting awesomer.

[gavotte.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry? What, may I ask, keeps getting "awesomer?"

[saunter.livejournal.com]

An internet? There's only one, angel.

[gavotte.livejournal.com]

So it would seem.

You know, I ought to be more surprised to find you milling about in this world.

[saunter.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't call it milling, exactly. More a sort of waiting to leave. You'll like it here, it's boring.

[magicbone]

Babylon, duh.

[gavotte.livejournal.com]

Oh? And I imagine living in a such a contained environment as this one has ensured that you've been on your best (or rather, worst) behavior?

[gavotte.livejournal.com]

Yes, well forgive me for not seeing what makes it so "awesome."

[magicbone]

well um! you're here! Crowley's cool but you were my favorite in the book dksjfjkds this is awkward um hi I'm Jonathan.

[gavotte.livejournal.com]

I beg your pardon, but... "in the book?" Er, not that I'm not flattered, my boy. I'm just not entirely sure what you mean by that.

[saunter.livejournal.com]

Er... well, there's not really any challenge in this sort of place, is there, and I haven't really been obliged... but I'm sure the citizens of Babylon will be uh, relieved now you're here.

[saunter.livejournal.com]

Huh.

[magicbone]

picking favorites is hard at least?

[magicbone]

you came from a book!

[gavotte.livejournal.com]

Some seem a bit too relieved, I should say. I'm not entirely sure what to make of it, really.

I don't suppose you've been in contact with, you know. Down There.

[gavotte.livejournal.com]

Oh! Might you mean the Bible?

[magicbone]

um no.
