(another Dimitri)

[Dimitri has never been given to dramatic or emotional reactions--except under extreme duress--so for the moment he is looking around, observing the unfamiliar surroundings.]

What... what is this?

This is a place that drags people in, there's no way out unless it puts the doors up again and even then they're not to be trusted, but on the upside it does provide whatever you want and everything's free.

So enjoy your stay in hell, Dimitri.

[Messing with newcomers will never not be fun.]

[The sight of Clive does make him jump slightly.]

Clive..?

2/2

[whitecoathat.livejournal.com]

Hell, you say? Well, that explains why you're here.

Re: 2/2

[livewiththisdisgrace]

I'd say the same for you, but it was hellish even before your arrival. Still, I suppose things can always get worse.

[whitecoathat.livejournal.com]

Really. I don't feel like extending this hypothetical any further; I'm aware that this is a product of my own imagination.

[He does believe he's simply dreaming, even if he's never been this lucid in one before.]

[livewiththisdisgrace]

Oh, don't tell me you're going to be one of the idiots who doesn't believe it. I'd expected at least more than that, even from you.

[whitecoathat.livejournal.com]

I hardly need to remind you that I have studied inter-dimensional travel quite extensively; as such, I don't doubt that a place like this could exist, just the idea that I could have reached it with no effort or intention whatsoever.

Physically, I am in London. In a prison cell, in fact. Where my subconscious might be is of little importance.

[...a newcomer who she's got first pick at, rather than Monocle? Well, Hendel's not one to pass that opportunity up even if her campaign manager is just using the opportunity to be an asshole. Cue being the picture of innocence again.]

I take it that you're new, then?

[whitecoathat.livejournal.com]

[He stares. He can't help it. This is Layton?

But he catches himself and clears his throat awkwardly.]

New to what, exactly?

[puzzlingchest]

To this place. The Dressing Room, I believe it's called, although so far I have yet to find anyone who knows why...

[whitecoathat.livejournal.com]

Who named it?

[Curiosity comes naturally, and at least it's a distraction he can cling to rather than dwelling on why there is a female Layton in front of him.]

[puzzlingchest]

Ahh... I don't know, actually. It had that name by the time I arrived here, and nobody I've spoken to claims to have named it.

[whitecoathat.livejournal.com]

There are others here, then?

Ah, speaking of names... may I ask yours?

[Maybe it's Layton's long-lost sister or cousin or something. Something slightly less weird, anyway.]

[luketriton109]

[runs by not looknig where he is going and assadent run in to Dimitri dropping Laytons hat as he dose so.]

Opps.. Sorry..

[he looks up]

Oh its you.. new 'ere?

[whitecoathat.livejournal.com]

You're the third person to ask me that.

[luketriton109]

Then you are...

[Picks up laytons hat]

The Professor would kill me if I danage this..

[glanes be himslef athen back at Dimitri]

'ave you been shown to a room?

[whitecoathat.livejournal.com]

No. What do you mean, a room?

[luketriton109]

Well the Dressing room is like a 'otal.. there lots of rooms.

As you sopken to others already, I dont need to exspan that people around 'ere are from diffent pont in time, or even diffen demeshones. my example, there 4 Professors that I know of around here.

[whitecoathat.livejournal.com]

I've never known such a thing to be possible, even potentially possible.

[timesugarcoated.livejournal.com]

[Looking aghast at the sight, Dimitri never thought that meeting a double of his would be so shocking. He now understands how the others feel...]

You...you're joking...

[whitecoathat.livejournal.com]

Who are you?

[timesugarcoated.livejournal.com]

What do you mean who are you? I'm Dimitri Allen. I'm you, well essentially. Claire and I are still trying to work out the scientific bugs.

[whitecoathat.livejournal.com]

This is impossible. And Claire is dead... if you were me, you would know that perfectly well.

[timesugarcoated.livejournal.com]

I do know. But this place is a time anomaly. It takes people from different dementions, so we're the same, but different. It seems to play off of our original time travel theory, but I've yet to discover the basics of how it works. And that explains a Claire, in case you were wondering.

[whitecoathat.livejournal.com]

I've heard that from several people here now. Is there anything else you can tell me about this place?
