[Eames happens to be in a library at the moment (or what appears to be one, in any case), and is walking along the outside line of the shelves, grinning.]

This isn't half bad, really. I could offer a few suggestions, of course, but just the lack of projections means it's cosier than most dreams I've visited.

What was your first assumption then?

[eternityunseen]

[ Shrugs. ]

That something weird had happened?

[antigravitykick]

That's all? No attempts to explain it to yourself?

[eternityunseen]

Okay, see—the thing is? It's not so easy for me to tell what's going on right away. So I gather more facts from talking to people... and by then, whoever I'm talking to usually knows more than I do. The problem tends to fix itself.

[antigravitykick]

[Arthur nods. It makes sense, anyway.]

I'm used to piecing thing together for myself.

[eternityunseen]

Even if the pieces end up being the wrong ones?

[antigravitykick]

In theory, it'll correct itself.

[eternityunseen]

You'd be surprised.

[antigravitykick]

True. At least I'm not killing myself trying to wake up. [You left out a key word there, Arthur. That word is "anymore".]

[eternityunseen]

That's... an improvement, yeah. [ Not to mention people can't die anymore anyway. ]

[antigravitykick]

[Gotta love world differences. ... Weird conversation track, though. Subject change.]

How long have you been here?

[eternityunseen]

"Here" is kind of weirdly relative. If you mean this... area... then not very long. If you mean this place, then about four months.

[antigravitykick]

"Here" isn't the only thing weirdly relative. [He shakes his head. But at least he sounds somewhat amused - he's been here too long to be aggravated by it.]

[eternityunseen]

Yeah?

[antigravitykick]

Where, when... [He shrugs.]

[eternityunseen]

[ Just quirks a brow. He can't see that shrug, but he hears it. ]

[antigravitykick]

[He just shakes his head. Dwelling on it hasn't done him any good so far.]

So where are you from originally?

[eternityunseen]

Atlanta. You?

[antigravitykick]

Nowhere specific, not in a long time. Stateside, though.

[eternityunseen]

Travel a lot, do you?

[antigravitykick]

Yeah. I enjoy it, though.

[eternityunseen]

Good. What kind of places have you been to?

[antigravitykick]

Paris, Kyoto, London... [He trails off, then shakes his head.] It's a long list.

[eternityunseen]

Got a favorite?

[antigravitykick]

If I had to pick? Probably Paris. If nothing else, it stands out. [He's smiling, but only a little.]

Do you travel at all?
