I'm less interested in coordinates and more interested in experiences.

Tell me yours and how you've weathered this place Dr. Suresh calls hell.

What is your old home, Kay?

[gouge-em-out.livejournal.com]

New York. My first home was a small town in a very different place, but that was a long time ago.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

I'm from New York as well.

[gouge-em-out.livejournal.com]

Really? Well, it might not be the 'same' New York, I guess. I haven't heard of you, but I mostly keep to myself.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

I arrived not too long ago, and where I'm from it's 1985.

[gouge-em-out.livejournal.com]

Ah. It was...2008 I believe, when I left. I've been here a few months.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

What's New York like in 2008?

[gouge-em-out.livejournal.com]

It's...not all that different than 1985. Some bigger TVs and more tall buildings.

No flying cars or anything, though that was a little before the 80's when everyone thought the 2000's would be all futuristic I guess.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

No electric cars?

[gouge-em-out.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, I think those have been invented though I didn't think they caught on well.

I'm not the best person to ask, though. I'm blind most of the time so I don't get a very good look at things that often.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

Your blind? From birth? Pardon my curiosity.

[gouge-em-out.livejournal.com]

No, not from birth. And not all the time. Just until my eyes grow back.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

Optical transplants?

[gouge-em-out.livejournal.com]

No, cursed mirror shards.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

City curses, or something else?

[gouge-em-out.livejournal.com]

Something else. Something bad.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

I see.

[gouge-em-out.livejournal.com]

Honestly I'd prefer they not grow back at all, but I can't tell cursed objects what to do.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

You prefer being blind?

[gouge-em-out.livejournal.com]

Yes. With the things I see, it's better not to see anything at all.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

What do you see beyond tangible things?

[gouge-em-out.livejournal.com]

All the evil deeds of anyone I look at.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

That is a curse.

[gouge-em-out.livejournal.com]

Yeah, which is why I prefer to have my eyes out unless I'm needed to investigate something.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

That's understandable, if a little messy.
