First Cup: Looking for some free time.

This is our personal journal, Zach. But we can use it as a place to post community-related things without clogging the place up, too. When and where to post... I'll leave that decision up to you.

[Text:]
I've been wondering about worldhops. If someone took me to another world (let's say, Middle Earth) and I stayed there for a while, would there be a way to get me back in my own world without too much time having passed while I was gone?

If that's the case, then I'm free to see some good movies just about any time. Plus, that might be the only way I can show up at this beach party.

It seems to happen that way, sometimes. Not always, though.

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

There's no pattern?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Not really.

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

That's going to be a problem.

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

No kidding. At least the viruses generally don't take time when they transport us to another location.

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

That's good. I'd hate to have to explain that to the agency. Or George.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Agency?

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

I'm...

[Oh, whoop, he turns video on and flashes his badge.]

FBI special agent Francis York Morgan. Call me York, that's what everyone calls me.

It's usually about the same amount of time yer gone, but someone was just complainin' the other day that he went 'n lost twenty years or somethin'...

[video] ... I don't have a surprised icon yet.

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

Twenty years? I can't afford to lose that.

[video]

[material_guy]

I don't think it's normal.

[video]

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

I hope not.

[material_guy]

So, you like movies, eh? Y'know, I'm making a movie.

[video]

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

So we have a film-maker here. Can I know what it'll be about?

A combat butler! He fights for justice and his own causes and is totally badass, and people try to find out the secret of his magic and take it from him! But they all fail, and nobody really understands him! It's a lonely, hard, magical, action-packed, sexy life he lives!

What do you say, Zach? It sounds like it could be good. But then again... Well, it could go either way.

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

When is it coming out?

[sotobas-lot.livejournal.com]

You were talking to somebody. You're able to show this thing to other people?

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

I have a friend who sees it too.

[sotobas-lot.livejournal.com]

That's got to make things a little easier.

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

Easier?

[sotobas-lot.livejournal.com]

Having someone to help cover for you when you get caught up in a community virus or the like. Someone who'll have a rough idea what's going on.

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

He might not be able to do that, but I see your point.

[sotobas-lot.livejournal.com]

Well, if he gets caught up in it, too, there isn't much that he can do but even just having somebody to help collaborate a cover story with after the fact is a blessing.
