[ voice ]

[The voice being recorded is both hushed (out of respect for the speaker's present environment) and weak (for reasons yet to be explained).]

Diane, it's... 6:36 pm on May 17, 2012. By my calculation, that means I've been asleep for... two hundred and seventy-nine months. Twenty-three years have passed since my last recording, Diane, and I have to say: I look pretty great for my age.

The last time I remember speaking to you, it was from the floor of my room at the Great Northern Hotel and I had just been shot. I don't remember a whole lot else, but the doctors tell me I've lost quite a bit of blood so that's to be expected. I feel both frustrated and grateful. Grateful to be alive, and frustrated because the investigation is facing yet another setback.

"Setback" may be an understatement. Diane, you are not going to believe this. As I just told you, it's been twenty-three years. That's twenty-three years in the blink of an eye. They tell me I've traveled through time, and that's apparently a common occurrence around here. Here being the city of Siren's Port, Canada - that's an island off the coast to the west of Vancouver, Diane. Have you ever heard of a place like that? I sure haven't.

The frustrating part is that my ticket was one-way. Preferable, yes, to the other one-way ticket I was facing - but gosh I really felt it. I was on the verge of something. Will I ever know who killed Laura Palmer?

[There's a pause and murmuring in the background, along with the squeaking of a cart being rolled into the room.]

- Ah, more on that later, Diane. Nurse Irene is here.

Maybe I'll just have to keep an eye on you.

[His eyes are closed, actually. Something in his skull is throbbing, and keeping them open takes more effort than he's willing to put in at the moment.]

If you mean literally, I agree.

Intuition, Agent Cooper? [Desert dry humor. As always.]

Consulting detective. Sherlock Holmes.

That's quite ambitious, Agent Cooper. I fear that it's not so easy as that for most Newcomers.

[personal profile] ergomaniac 2012-05-22 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[A slight hesitation, but then:]

Very well. I'll put you in touch with them.

[personal profile] ergomaniac 2012-05-22 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
But you'll need to show discretion. Several of them are not precisely keen on being associated with Newcomers.

[personal profile] ergomaniac 2012-05-22 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
All right.

I wish you the best of luck, Agent Cooper. It's not an easy role to fill - especially not here.

I haven't stepped out of a book lately, if that's what you're thinking.

[How he wishes this was the first time this happened. Though existing to people from other worlds, just as someone from a book, was a fascinating concept.]
deductives: (no fuck off I'm reading)

[personal profile] deductives 2012-05-23 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. From 221b Baker Street and here with John Watson. I'm from this time, though.
deductives: (that's good mug)

Charmed.

You're taking this all in stride, then.

Right. Don't go out at night.

Unless you want to meet every imaginable horror possible.

Some of it. I was one of those lucky few who arrived during the peek hours of when they like to come out and play.

I don't know exactly. Undead. Infected. Hell, you could even go as far to call them zombies, but I know that's not really a popular choice of description these days. But they didn't fit the criteria of your standard rotting humans.

Thought I could take them out with a flashlight, but a quick beam of light on whatever they were and I bolted for safety. It seemed to have multiple heads; some moving, some hanging down. That was enough for me.
