Video.
I've been wondering, Scorched.
[ Arthur has been training since before the sun rose: it's visible in the flush across the bridge of his nose, the way his blond bangs are sticking dark to his temples, the slouch of his usually straight-backed posture. But he needs a break, a distraction from his own mind, from the questions that have been plaguing it without concrete answer. ]
Say that the Door started — temporarily — working the way that all doors should, and we could all trip merrily back to our own worlds.
[ A breath, considering whether he's really going to ask. Despite his slightly laconic tone, he knows how depressing some of the answers he'll get will be. But he still wants to know: ]
Would you stay here in Anatole?
Or would you go home?

Has that ever even happened before? Or something close to it? [ The Door working correctly, that is. ]

[ But that's a little dark, and he's wincing. ]
And, no. Never voluntarily.

Huh, whoever made that thing knows how to keep his secrets hidden 'bout that thing then.

[ Most people here don't. ]

Have you ever... I mean, do you know someone who's seen whatever it is that lies after death here?

Handy. Any idea of who's in charge over whatever oblivion you stumbled into? Something has to send you back here, right?

Anyway. ] So what's with the homesick questions? You plannin' on bustin' your way outta here, or something?

[ Or a month for his third, perhaps. That's too confusing, though. ]
Can't decide if that's too long or not enough.

Depends kinda on what the place on the other side of the Door is like, right? [ Camelot, or whatever. ] I'd stick around here if it won in brownie points.
video;
[ What a confusing term. ]
video;
You know, good points? If this place was actually any better than home.
video;
[ Hot water taps have all his brownie points. ]

Then why even ask? If they're not that different?
