experiment #1 [video]

[4thdimensional]

[Hello, Genessia! Here's a new face: older gentleman, exceptionally frizzy white hair (though part of that is the heat). If you were to think 'mad scientist' upon looking at him, you wouldn't exactly be wrong. He appears to be walking along a waterway in Nova City, admiring the sights.]

Hello! I've just awoken here the other day, and I gather that it's customary to greet everyone upon arrival? So I shall. I'm Dr. Emmett Brown, I specialize in timepieces and small repairs, and it's a pleasure to meet you all. Or...most of you, I hope. I don't want to presume.

I just have one question. How did you all decide where to live? It's probably the most convenient to live where you've found a job, and I'm hoping that won't be too difficult, but all of the cities have a wonderful charm to them. The comforts of the future, the charms of the past, what is, what could be...hell, it might take me the entire month to make a decision.

Thar's a common space in Genessia for new arrivals. You know. If you like that sort of thing.

[Don't mind that his shoes are the table and off to the side]

[video]

[4thdimensional]

That's my base of operation for now, I'm merely exploring to get a sense of my options for work. I already know of one.

[Video to action]

[borntolove]

Why don't you look to your left?

[Action]

[Alright maybe it wasn't exactly to Doc's left but close enough and Doc will hear the winding and wheezing noise of the Police Box materializing and The Doctor himself steps out in a long brown trench coat that looks made for winter]

Hallo.

[redarrowqueen]

I commute, live in Genessia City but work in Nova City. A best of both worlds I think.

[4thdimensional]

Yes, the commute doesn't seem to be too painful. That might be what I settle on.

Do you enjoy your work?

[redarrowqueen]

I do, I'm an event planner for the museum in Nova City.

Clocks... heee.... [Don't ask. She's just all smiles for some reason until she snaps out of it.]

Oh, right! I kind of didn't decided exactly. My ex-boyfriend missed me and sort of was like "come stay with me" and I'm too cheap to refuse free rent.

Which is highly impractical. Don't be me. There's some pretty good places everywhere if you know where to look. I could take you apartment shopping if you'd like.

[Or her ex-boyfriend could kidnap you too. Whatever.]

[Ah, love. What a complicated mystery he has yet to begin to unpack.]

I'm glad it worked out for the two of you. And I'd appreciate that---of course, I'd make it worth your time with some business assistance.

[bigbadrose]

[Don't get Rose started, she's jaded on that mystery.]

Nah, it didn't. [Laughs.] But we're working on it.

Yeah! It'd be my honor, Doc!

[Pause.] Please tell me you know Looney Toons.

I started off living in Nova City. I lived there for over a year, the technology and fact that most of my friends lived there meant it made the most sense. But now I live in Fayren, and the change is nice, so if you're worried there's nothing stopping you from changing your mind later.

[Video]

[4thdimensional]

That's important to keep in mind, thank you. I'm enjoying Nova so far, but what do you like about Fayren?

Video

[youfool]

Hello Mr. Brown! You hope well; work is very easy to acquire here, especially if you're the conventional sort of doctor.

As for where to live, your necklace provides a clue: mind the colors. Where it never suggests is where you are now. Ah, provided you're still in Genessia City, of course, which is probably the best place to live.

[4thdimensional]

I'm a scientist, not a medical specialist, but I'll give it a look regardless.

[He lifts his pendant and squints down at it.]

Red. Never quite thought of it as my color.

[scarlet_devil]

[ With her pale skin, red eyes and bat-like wings, Remilia obviously isn't human. And far older than the youthful appearance suggests.

And as usual when she has a look at the network, she's enjoying some tea. ]

That was simple, really. My dear sister and my head maid reside in a place within Everglade.

[ Hers is a French accent... that sounds rather aristocratic. ]

[Video]

[4thdimensional]

So you were reunited with your family. That's encouraging.

[He doesn't have much of a family these days, just one dear friend and a loyal dog, but he can always hope.]

Do you enjoy it there?

[shewhoislife]

[Have an amused dragon lady.]

Each of the cities seem to cater to different worlds. For instance, my own world has machines but nothing as fantastical of those of Nova City, while the magical nature of Fayren feels far more familiar.

[She's just going to lean her chin on a gauntleted hand, causing the jewelry on her horns to jingle a bit.]

[4thdimensional]

[He's never seen anyone quite like her before, and it's plainly obvious that he's curious.]

I can imagine so. What is normally divided by dimensional barriers comes together as one, like something I never thought I'd see.

[waitingforhope]

[The comforts of the future, the charms of the past....]

[It was that statement, in particular, that piqued Mai's interest most. Just an expression? Perhaps, or perhaps...]

What about the Present?

[A question asked mostly to hear what his answer might be. As for his own inquiries...]

Some of us have been fortunate enough to know people already here. That helped a lot with housing. In some instances, even employment. But I also took a tour of the city itself and found a place with interests similar to my own. And skills I've had for a long time.

[video]

[4thdimensional]

I have a tendency to forget about the present in my navel-gazing.

[He laughs, gently.]

I'm afraid I don't know anyone, but I've heard employment isn't too terribly difficult to find.

[trickking]

The place I've chosen to work is in Nova City, and it's closest to the technology I'm used to.

I'd imagine the best place to live would be anywhere that you would feel the most familiar with.

video

[4thdimensional]

My life is the closest to Genessia City, I believe, but I'm drawn to both the future and the past. I've been told to take a closer look at Nova City first---what do you do there?

video

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Oh look, someone with even wilder hair than yours!]

I stuck around in Genessia, and picked a good place to watch sunsets from. But that's just me. Though I guess if you still can't pick by the end of the month you could always put all your options in a hat a pick one at random.

video

[4thdimensional]

That's not a bad option either.

Though I'm curious now: what's the best spot to watch a Genessia sunset from?

Late tag in ^^;;

[riddlemehiss]

You don't! Living everywhere is the best kind of living.

No worries!

[4thdimensional]

But it'd be almost impossible to do, unless you had very generous friends everywhere or were willing to camp outside each day.

Which...isn't all that impossible, but surely makes employment difficult.
