Dear diary that is shared with many others,

I have either truly died or gone insane. There are no castles in Alaska.

[ And this is dictated: ]

What is the year?

[ That is really her only question, rofl. Strikes are only barely readable. ]

Dictated forever

[huffythedragon]

I don't think this place actually has a year. It's August, though. If that helps.

[hvic]

That doesn't help at all.

[ Her voice is incredibly snippy and impatient. ]

[ Kanaya takes a little while before replying. She's trying to read what was written, but obviously isn't successful. :|

Finally: ]

Are you new to the castle?

dictated;

[hvic]

I am.

Now, what year is it? [ How dare you answer her question with another question. ]

[huffythedragon]

[Hooo boy, another grumpy one]

Well, if you really want helpful stuff you can read your journal, you'll get the same answer, though.

[hvic]

You're wasting my time.

[ She is not happy at all. ]

dictated;

[rainbowed]

[ Ew, rude. ]

It appeared to me that you received your answer already. Welcome, though.

dictated;

[hvic]

That is not an answer. I do not care about the month, I want the year.

dictated;

[rainbowed]

Perhaps you should consider cleaning out your auricular sponge clots. The young Earth child informed you that the precise year is unknown here.

[ She's never actually attached the voice to the face; sorry, Spike. ]

dictated;

[hvic]

[ She doesn't even know how to respond to that. ]

I'm not sure you understand what you're saying.

[ She has to be drunk, then. ]

dictated;

[rainbowed]

...I believe you call them 'ears', if you were previously a resident of the planet Earth.

dictated~

[lisareisert]

I wish I knew the answer to that. I'm pretty new here myself and it's all a little too confusing for me at the moment.

[There's a pause before she speaks up again] ...But if you find out, could you let me know? Not that it would do much use I imagine.

[huffythedragon]

I'm only telling you how it is, lady.

[hvic]

No you are not.

dictated;

[hvic]

Of course I am. There is no other inhabitable planet in the Milky Way. [ She should know, she's studied it for decades, practically. ]

dictated~~

[hvic]

It should be common knowledge. It isn't hard to look at a calendar.

dictated;

[madetosin]

[boredly] If there is anything resembling a calendar here, I've yet to see one.

[huffythedragon]

Yeesh, some of you newcomers can be so rude.

[hvic]

[ She scoffs. ] You are only a child.

Where are there adults I can speak with?

dictated;

[hvic]

You people are idiots. Are you even aware of what a calendar is? I find it hard to believe that a castle of this size is missing one with all of these-- extravagances around. [ She isn't sorry. ]

dictated;

[madetosin]

[And she's under the mistaken impression he gives a crap]

It doesn't matter. You are not where or when you left from. The date is irrelevant. And if this world had a calendar, I'd imagine it wouldn't mean anything to you.

dictated;

[hvic]

[ kanyeshrug ]

If you have nothing of value to contribute, why bother replying?

[heloise]

If this place keeps no calendar, and I come from the year 1493 while my friend comes from 2012, which year would it be?

[hvic]

[ Fuck riddles. ]

That's irrelevant. There is only one year to come from. Time travel does not exist.

dictated;

[madetosin]

I lack for distractions at the moment.
