You know those people who only appear when you least want them? They're gone for ages and then wham-bam back again?




Dworkin is sipping wine, sitting at the Observation Window, watching the destruction outside.

"Maybe, but it's not time for some things to end. Not yet." Thinking of what he had to stop back home. Stopping Stillson so that vision of Washington in flames never happens.

"And it isn't."

He shakes his head.

"No, there's still time."

John then nodded to him, "I'm John Smith by the way, good to meet you."

"Depends on whan you're from."

Of course.

"Dworkin."

[identity profile] ushouldcwhatic.livejournal.com 2007-12-14 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"2006, Maine," he replied simply to that.

"And which Shadow."

There are a few.

[identity profile] ushouldcwhatic.livejournal.com 2007-12-15 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
"...Shadow?" Johnny hasn't met any Amberites offhand.

[identity profile] pointed-spoon.livejournal.com 2007-12-15 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Universe," groping for the word that Johnny would use.

[identity profile] ushouldcwhatic.livejournal.com 2007-12-15 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ah, besides Earth? I'm honestly not sure."

[identity profile] pointed-spoon.livejournal.com 2007-12-15 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Rats never know the names of their own mazes," sounding as though he doesn't really comprehend why someone might take offence to that. It's true, isn't it?

[identity profile] ushouldcwhatic.livejournal.com 2007-12-16 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
John frowned at that, "I'm not a rat." Or if he is a rat, he instinctive can find holes through the maze.

"Thus the lack of fur."

Egads! He's right!

"Among other things... I'm John Smith."

Not sure about offering his hand to shake to the strange man.

[identity profile] pointed-spoon.livejournal.com 2007-12-16 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
"But you are in a maze, even if you can see a few corners ahead."

The fact that Dworkin the psychic equivalent of 'invisible' may register at any point.

[identity profile] ushouldcwhatic.livejournal.com 2007-12-16 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
John immediately gave him a look, and kept his hands at his sides.

"...Is that mean you can see all of the corners?"

[identity profile] pointed-spoon.livejournal.com 2007-12-16 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Or that I built the maze."

One of the two.

[identity profile] ushouldcwhatic.livejournal.com 2007-12-16 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
John stared at him some more.

"You're saying you're God?"

[identity profile] ushouldcwhatic.livejournal.com 2007-12-16 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Nice to meet you." Still not sure what to think of him.

[identity profile] pointed-spoon.livejournal.com 2007-12-16 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Crooked teeth, crooked grin, crooked eyes, crooked spine. Grimy fingernails and an elegant wine glass.

"Maybe mazes don't work like you understand."

[identity profile] ushouldcwhatic.livejournal.com 2007-12-16 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe. Usually can see one extra corner at a time, that's all."

[identity profile] ushouldcwhatic.livejournal.com 2007-12-16 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
John really didn't understand that at all.

"I should probably go. Bye."
