ratpack[There's a few things Gordo's realized: he's not in his middle school and something is very wrong. He feels pretty upset, but if there's anything he's learned from having psychologists as parents? It's best to remain calm and if you're in a dangerous situation, you've got to think about your position.
He's also realized he has wings and maybe this just means hes dreaming? But this is a really realistic dream. He's also already pinched himself and nope.
It's also night time and he appears to be in somebody's house.
He has a book that has a camera in it. Strange...
And this is really weird.
He needs to do something because sitting here in the dark in somebody else's house could be dangerous. He doesn't really seem to be kidnapped by anybody here because he's in a living room. And he could just walk out, but since he has no idea where he is? Well, no. Not a good idea.
He'll take a chance because this seems to be the only thing he can do. So he could be in your apartment, knocking on doors so he can talk to someone about this. He's really just a 14 year old boy and looks pretty defenseless in just his white cotton pants.]

Date: 2012-03-20 01:08 am (UTC)Um. If I'm bothering you, you don't have to. I can uh, just use your phone to call my parents?
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-20 12:43 pm (UTC)All right, bear with me, because I know this is weird as hell.
You're in Luceti. It's a world away from wherever you call home. In general our kidnappers give us some freedom, but only because they know we can't get out of their enclosure. [Hands him a hot cocoa with mini-marshmallows.]
If you have friend or family here, you'll find them with that journal. It acts kind of like a laptop -- if they have those where you're from. Otherwise it's like a magic crystal ball or cell phone, whatever you use.
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-22 07:05 pm (UTC)But this really is a lot to take in and he just stares at his hot chocolate.]
I hope you don't find this rude if I think this is a little hard to believe? I'm not saying you're lying, it's just...I don't know. I was with my class and then I'm here. Without my clothes and I mean. It's just really weird.
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-22 10:12 pm (UTC)[Hands him a pocket mirror.] Starting with the wings on your back. And then there's the barcode...
Some of the people here have superpowers. Even normal people can learn some magic. [Holds up a hand and calls a very small visual ball of gusts of wind whipping in a circle. Then smiles apologetically.] That's about all I can do from what I've learned here, but there are a lot of people who've learned more. Much, much more.
That journal will explain it the best.
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-23 12:13 am (UTC)But seeing her magic is what makes him believe completely. His eyes widen.]
Oh wow. That definitely isn't Hollywood effects.

Date: 2012-03-23 07:19 pm (UTC)I just. Don't know what to do now.
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-24 03:12 am (UTC)You've never been on your own before, huh?
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-24 05:33 pm (UTC)[He shakes his head and starts to feel a little homesick and a lot more like a kid than he has for a while. Nothing better than being kidnapped to another world to show a normal kid he's got a lot of growing up to do.] I've always been with my parents.
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-25 02:03 am (UTC)Hum... I'm not sure if they have a temporary adoption thing for the kids who get taken here. I guess you'd have to ask at the welcome center. At least you don't have to worry about cooking, the restaurants here are free, just run by the cooks as a hobby or to keep in practice.
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-25 11:43 pm (UTC)I think having someone else as my adoptive parents would be weird. I'm so used to my own parents and...[He stops when he realizes she said the restaurants were free.] Wait, free food?

Date: 2012-03-26 12:17 am (UTC)[Action]
Date: 2012-03-26 12:38 am (UTC)So is there any hope in returning to our homes or...?
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-26 12:53 am (UTC)[Action]
Date: 2012-03-26 01:01 am (UTC)[It hits him that he hasn't even introduced himself.] Oh, I've been kind of rude. I'm David Gordon, by the way. But you can call me Gordo. Thanks for explaining everything to me. I would have been lost if you hadn't taken the time.
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-26 04:58 am (UTC)[Arguably including her.... but that's another story.] It's nice to meet someone sane once in a while.
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-28 02:59 am (UTC)[He blinks at that, a little worried.] I hope everybody's not too crazy...

Date: 2012-04-03 09:10 pm (UTC)[Sadly she's serious. Which says something about her paranoia and so forth.]
Most people try to find hobbies or help out the school though. But like I said, that's how the restaurants are free, which is pretty sweet.
[Action]
Date: 2012-04-08 09:28 pm (UTC)[He can't find himself agreeing.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-04-08 10:13 pm (UTC)Some of the shifts too are exciting too, but some of them are more creepy and wrong than any fun.

Date: 2012-04-09 06:31 am (UTC)Sometimes they're fun. One Halloween everyone was stuck in costume. Another time everyone turned into the thing they wanted most. So one kid turned into a cake, another guy into an airship, people would wind up as their spouse, that sort of thing. And another time they made this amazing amusement park, though that was to make up for a glitch they had with something else.

Date: 2012-04-10 02:24 am (UTC)[That's all he can take from this.]
