[Sure, the rooms are pretty nice, the building's quiet and clean, no one's tried to beat him over the head or anything yet, but that doesn't make Dyme any happier. He has no idea how he got here, why he's here, or where he is. He'd just finally found his happiness; now it's been taken away from him again.]

What the hell is going on? I know, yeah, I got the warm welcome but no offense to anyone, that doesn't tell me jack shit. This kind of thing is called kidnapping.

[Except not really? He has no fucking idea what it is, but he knows that he doesn't like it.]

I would appreciate some help.

[fatherwolf]

Those are your two options? Have some creativity, kid.

[He frowns.]

It was free, jackass.

[audio]

[swansongs]

For now, yeah. I literally just got here. I'll figure something out.

Yeah, I know, and there's that thing about 'don't complain about free stuff' but do you know how long it took me to figure out how to work it.

[audio]

[fatherwolf]

Probably not as long as the people who've never seen a phone before.

[A pause.]

We don't know much, kid. That's the scary part. You got a name?

[audio]

[swansongs]

Okay, point.

[Wait, hold on.]

There are people here who'd never seen a phone before? [How.]

Yeah. It's Dyme.

[audio]

[fatherwolf]

Bigby Wolf, and yeah. Because this is a lot bigger than a simple kidnapping, genius.

[It would have to be to pull him here.]

[audio]

[swansongs]

A kidnapping is never simple.

[Not that he'd ever been kidnapped before, thankfully, but.]

What else is going on? What makes it bigger?

[audio]

[fatherwolf]

Where are you from?

[Simple question, right?]

[audio]

[swansongs]

Ceol. It's in Saoirse.

[It was a pretty big city, but he threw in the country too, just to be safe.]

Why?

[audio]

[fatherwolf]

Never heard of it. [As though this is proving his point.] That on Earth? In the Homelands?

[audio]

[swansongs]

[If he's asking about Earth, Dyme isn't surprised.]

No. It's on Krele. Earth was destroyed a long time ago. I mean, not completely, I don't think, but. It's a mess.

[audio]

[fatherwolf]

[What kind of sci-fi bullshit is this?]

Uh huh. And where's that?

[audio]

[swansongs]

I...don't know? I've never been good at geography.

[Was it still geography if it was in space? Someone had probably gone over that in class at some point, but Dyme had always been terrible at paying attention in school.]

[audio]

[fatherwolf]

Is it on Earth?

[Bigby isn't dumb by any means, but he's having troubling following this one. At least they've established it's not in the Homelands.]
